Jeu de combats tactiques en tours alternés, disponible depuis une dizaine de jours via Steam sur PC, en plus des versions Mac, iPad et iPhone, pour la modique somme de 9,99€. Le petit nouveau met aux prises des unités renégates des Iron Warriors et les forces fidèles à l’Empereur. L’affrontement se déroule sur Tallarn, planète pratiquement stérilisée par un bombardement viral des forces rebelles.
Au cours de trois campagnes de six scénarios chacune jouables dans l’un des deux camps, au choix, vous pourrez commander, une armée customisée à votre convenance ; équipées avec pas moins de 54 armes variées, quelques 66 unités différentes. Parmi lesquelles des tanks lourds Leman Russ ou super-lourds tels que des Baneblade, ou encore des Dreadnoughts, des unités Titan ou des avions, en plus des classiques Flyers (enfin !) ; sur les terres dévastées de Tallarn ou en-dessous, dans le vaste complexe souterrain bunkerisé de la planète.

6 Mission Apocalypse Campaign
In the wake of the death and destruction wrought upon Tallarn by the virus bombing, the Iron Warriors descended. As their patrols scoured the ruined planet’s surface, they encountered unexpected resistance from the Imperial survivors. Protected from Tallarn’s toxified atmosphere in their underground shelters, the loyalists launched a spirited campaign of hit-and-run attacks on the Iron Warriors.
6 Mission Resurrection Campaign*
As the Imperium learned of the Iron Warriors’ treachery and the fate of the survivors of Tallarn, their relief troops and armour arrived in force, only to be matched by those of the enemy. The Iron Warriors ground their way to Sapphire City, beneath which lay a subterranean network of tunnels and shelters which had served as a bulwark in the Imperial defence line.
6 Mission Revenge Campaign*
Despite determined efforts, the Imperium were unable to shift the Iron Warriors from The Sightless Warren. Meanwhile fighting on the surface ground to a stalemate as heavy armoured units reinforced both sides. In a bid to sway the battle, The Iron Warriors’ Macro-Transport “The Eagle’s Talon” was brought into orbit around Tallarn, threateningly positioned to bring a new wave of troops to fight for the traitors.
*These campaigns are included in the Iron Edition but are available as IAPs on iPad and iPhone.
