At the turn of the 42nd Millennium, war across the Old World never seems to stop. The only way to avoid being smashed by the hordes of invading armies is to join their ranks or find powerful allies. Check out these 4 great DRM-free games to see how to survive in the vast and dangerous universes of Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40,000.

Have the stains of virtual gore still not dried on your computer screen from playing Warhammer: Mark of Chaos - Gold Edition and Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War? Here are 4 more titles set in the rich Warhammer universe that deserve your attention.



Warhammer: Chaosbane
First, let’s travel into the Old World, where this action-adventure game takes place. In Warhammer: Chaosbane, you’ll visit a land ravaged by never-ending war and dominated by powerful magic. As the last hope of the Empire of Man, you must battle against Chaos hordes in a solo campaign or along with up to 4 friends in local or online co-op.

In this thrilling hack ‘n’ slash game you can choose a hero out of 5 character classes, all with unique sets of skills. Among them we have a fearsome soldier of the Empire, a Dwarf specialized in melee combat, a High Elf who deals ranged damage with magic, a Wood Elf who lays traps and wields a deadly bow, and a versatile Dwarf Engineer. The game gives you countless hours of enjoyment thanks to over 70 monsters you can slay and the many dungeons available to explore.



Battlefleet Gothic: Armada
While the Warhammer 40K world has received many great RTS titles, none of them have reached this epic of a scale. Battlefleet Gothic: Armada takes Games Workshop’s classic tabletop game into outer space. There, the forces of Chaos, Imperium, Eldar, and Orks fight against each other in huge battleships. Two more fleets - the Space Marines and T’au Empire - can be deployed thanks to the game’s DLCs.

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada features a grand story campaign, taking place during the 12th Black Crusade. The game offers an extensive multiplayer mode where up to 4 players can battle simultaneously. Moreover, it also enables you to manage every ship of your fleet, both during and between battles.



Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2
The sequel to Battlefleet Gothic: Armada is everything that fans could hope for. Bigger, more complex, and ambitious - it includes a stunning 12 factions from the original Warhammer 40k games. This means you can now control the forces of the Imperial Navy, Space Marines, Adeptus Mechanicus, Necrons, Chaos, Aeldari Corsairs, Aeldari Craftworld, Drukhari, the T’au Merchant and Protector Fleets, Orks, and the Tyranids.

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 is set during the events of the Gathering Storm and the 13th Black Crusade from the Warhammer 40k universe. The title features 3 solo campaigns (the fourth is available in the Chaos Campaign Expansion DLC) and an improved multiplayer mode.



Space Hulk: Deathwing
Now, it’s your time to become a Terminator of the Deathwing, a part of the elite Space Marine Chapter, the Dark Angels. Space Hulk: Deathwing is a massively engaging FPS based on the tabletop game from Warhammer 40,000 universe. It’s also a worthy sequel to the two classic games from 1993 and 1996.

Your main mission is to fight the ever-growing horde of the Tyranid Genestealers, within the claustrophobic confines of a Space Hulk Olethros ship. With every fight in the solo and multiplayer modes, you get stronger by gaining experience and salvaging destructive weapons and other equipment. The game has spawned 3 DLCs - Infested Mines, Knights of the Crimson Order, and Skulls for the Skull Throne - adding some hefty additional content.

Do you feel your heart racing yet? Prepare for a string of unforgettable battles with all 4 Warhammer games mentioned above. And remember, that’s only the beginning! On GOG.COM, you’ll find many more DRM-free titles set in the dark and exciting universes created by Games Workshop!

Ranayna: Why are there no actual ingame screenshots of both Battlefleets and of Space Hulk?
Do you really think that a "Screenshot" reel only containing what is looking like promo-material is adequate?

Why not make a couple of screenshots yourselfes again, as you did back in the day? Suppoesedly you are testing if those games work anyway :p
here you go :)

Niggles: Battlefleet Gothic Armada 1 and 2.
Has anyone actually played these and tell those of us their experiences?. Doesnt to be any reviews on gog nor posts on the game forum about the games.
Hows the AI? (not interested in multi)
Well I played the first game.
AI is not very bright and can be out manouvered.
To be fair with all that masses you need to fight against, you NEED to outmanouver the enemy. DIfficult enough, because a random hit can diable a ship at least partly. Pro: depending on your success in battles the story/fights differ a little. So you do not need to win 100% of the objectives every fight.
This armada is Warhammer tabletop rules conversation to computer
If you want single player campaign and not interested in Warhammer then you will find the game lacking

Tactics is based on the race so,
Dance and shoot = Eldar
Boarding parties = marines
Ramming = orcs and to a somewhat limited number of imperial... If you are not Orcs then ramming is anything smaller than your ship so a small cruiser rams escort results in dead escort

You can lose missions without losing the war but it should be avoided if possible

Also, torpedoes can be very useful for the Imperial Navy.
Warhammer: Chaosbane - intersting game looks like Torchlight(2), and with COOP mode! Unfortunately with my PC, that even doesn't falls under the conditions of minimun System requirements, I cannot play this game :(

It’s not even as deep as torchlight. You can see my full review on the Magnus edition, just completed the main quest. It’s a shallow, linear, repetitive action game, not an RPG or aRPG. Think more Dark Alliance, but with a more cliched story.

tremere110: I can confirm that playing the single player campaign is possible without EAC by running the above - the game will crash if you attempt any skirmish battles though (just clicking on battles in the main menu crashes the game). If you're willing to run the default executable while offline - you can play single player skirmish in offline mode though EAC is running. The plus with that is everything is unlocked with the offline profile.
Thanks for the information ;)

I understand that if I do not want to install EAC on my system I will only be able to play the campaign, not even offline skirmishes. I guess this is gog.com definition of DRM-free… The lack of any warning on the store page is really disappointing.
Anyone know why Space Hulk Tactics isn't already here? Same publisher and dev from Deathwing.

The developers of these games are different.

Well, according to [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_(company)]this[/url] and
this Cyanide is (a) developer of both games.

edit: wtf, why can't I post two urls in the same post, without GOG screwing it up???

You trust wikipedia too much - anyone can write anything there.
For example, here's another wikipedia page that says something else:
[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Hulk:_Deathwing]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Hulk:_Deathwing[/url]
Space Hulk: Deathwing is a first-person shooter developed by Streum On Studio with assistance from Cyanide and published by Focus Home Interactive.
But on the Cyanide's website, you can find out what they think about this:
http://www.cyanide-studio.com/space-hulk-deathwings
developed on Unreal Engine 4 by Streum On Studio, the team behind E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy.
But it is best to check the page on Steam (if possible) - the publishers and Valve monitor the accuracy of such legally significant information there (unlike wikipedia):
https://store.steampowered.com/app/816090/Space_Hulk_Deathwing__Enhanced_Edition/
DEVELOPER: Streum On Studio
And if you weren't too lazy and checked at least the game page here, you would see the same thing:
https://www.gog.com/game/space_hulk_deathwing_enhanced_edition_deluxe
Streum On Studio / Focus Home Interactive
I see, you are one of those...
Now, is there anyone with some substantial input regarding that matter? Thanks.

You know, you did better to admit your mistakes in 1945. But you come to us from the 39th, right?
