Games Workshop has a complicated history with licensed Warhammer games. The company has been quite reserved about it in the past - even despite some very high-profile successes in the early days - but even when it finally started to open the gates more generally it took a while for the quality to match the demand. Thankfully, things are getting better, and as things get better more Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 games are starting to appear that are worth checking out if you're fans of either of Games Workshops' iconic tabletop settings. With that in mind, we've compiled a round-up our top pic

They’re all games we think you could play and love right now. (more…)

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 is really good, but it's also kind of a niche thing: Tactical capital ship combat in the 41st century isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, after all. If you're not sure which side of that particular line you stand on, now you can find out for free. From today until until 11 am PT/2 pm ET on August 26, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 is free to play on Steam. Just go to the store page, click the "play now" button, and have at it. It's the full version of the game so you can dive as deeply into it as you can manage over a three-day

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 is free to play on Steam right now until August 26, 6pm GMT, and can be purchased at 40% off, the biggest discount yet.

The Chaos Campaign Expansion, that brought a brand new Chaos arc in June, is also available at 15% off, but is not free to play during this time. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/
