Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon (Classic)

Warning: This game is HARD (and leaving steam). This game is what really got me into WH40k, and the writing is pretty nice.

I Love this game! It's fantastic and full of fun missions and stories. the guard are really fun to play and the missions are varied enough that you never feel bored. The Marines that come later are cool (although dreadnoughts are your best friend I've found they are easily the biggest bang for your buck) My favorite mission is holding out till the marines arrive as you fall back between 3 different lines of defense it captures the imagination and really makes you feel the desperation. seriously one of my favorite strategy games. which it had a new version with more story and where guardsmen are just alittle better.

Good show

It's good ♥♥♥♥♥

This is a great strategy game for people looking for something more grand-scale than the usual squad-based tactics games we usually see like Mechanicus and Chaos Gate, and more traditional than Dawn of War 1/2 (shame there never was a third right ?) The graphics are obviously nothing to go crazy over but I like it, it looks nice for its style and everything is clear, you instantly know what you're looking at. You get to play around the dozens of tanks, artillery pieces and infantry units fielded by the Guard, and later on by various Space Marines chapters. On that last note, I am a bit disappointed that the deeper you get into the campaign, the less optimal it becomes to still be using Guard infantry or Russ tanks. With the sheer number of heavy and superheavy units the Orks get in the later levels, you're sort of shooting yourself in the foot if you're not using tons of Baneblade chassis and Space Marine infantry. Guard infantry, even veterans, can easily be destroyed in a single turn if a single superheavy unit just looks at them, Ogryns fare batter but you're still better off using Astartes which is kind of a shame. I would have liked to see a system where you have a very stric…

I believe Slitherine more than any other game company has found the right footing when it comes to Turn-based combat set in this universe. Armageddon is a pc wargame in the classic Panzer General style. The gameplay is rock solid, the missions can be tough but fair, and the story is classic. I bought this off the Matrix Games website years ago and never regretted it. If you wanted tabletop rules to 40k on the PC this is NOT for you. If you love the lore and old school classic wargames, step on up.
