With the release of the strategy game just a few days away, Bulwar Studios and Kasedo Games have essentially finished it.

After millennia of slumber, Vargard Nefershah mobilizes her dynasty’s legions to annihilate the Adeptus Mechanicus interlopers who unknowingly settled on her world. Meanwhile, across the galaxy, Magos Dominus Faustinius is summoned to contribute his hard-won expertise and prevent the Necrons from succeeding. The conflict soon becomes a crucible of unanticipated significance, drawing external actors that are stranger and deadlier. There are two playable factions, two narrative campaigns, and two highly unique play styles. One important choice remains: Who will you lead to victory in this arcane, technological war of cold metal and hatred?

Assemble your force, deploy your warriors, and crush your enemies in intense, turn-based tactical battles. To succeed, you’ll need to master each faction’s unique abilities and play styles, as well as the diverse range of combatants at their disposal. New environmental mechanics require you to maneuver like never before. Play to your chosen faction’s strengths and weaknesses – take cover behind terrain as the Mechanicus or destroy it as the Necrons.

Fight for control of an entire world by capturing and defending regions from the enemy’s forces while generating and managing crucial resources. Race against the Sankhotep dynasty’s global awakening, driving back their deathless legions as the Mechanicus. Alternatively, defend the tombs of your people as the Necrons, crushing the verminous interlopers. Deploy and upgrade an entourage of distinctive Tech-Priest leaders, such as Magos Dominus Faustinius, or customize your own court of Necron nobles, such as Vargard Nefershah. Manage your territory’s garrisons, and assemble your forces wisely for each mission. Choose from a vastly expanded selection of fighters from each faction.

Critically acclaimed composer Guillaume David’s sublime music and audio design will once again transport you to the grim darkness of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Incredible illustrations, highly detailed environments, and authentic characters bring the Warhammer 40,000 universe to awe-inspiring life. Veteran author Ben Counter, best known for his Black Library novels, returns to tell the next chapter of the Mechanicus saga. Atone for past failures as Faustinius wages an ongoing war against the ancient Necron species. Follow the rise of Vargard Nefershah as she seeks to reclaim her dynasty’s crown world from the Adeptus Mechanicus. Experience an epic conflict skillfully woven over multiple campaigns, replete with narrative events. Your choices will shape the course of the war and its climactic outcome.
