For the Emperor!

Isometric tabletop-inspired strategy Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate is available now for Windows, DRM-free on GOG.com.

Command your squad of Ultramarines in a futuristic clash to defeat the forces of Chaos in Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate. Simple mechanics, a classic isometric map, epic music, and varied in-game landscapes will keep you entertained while you crush your enemies, one squad after another, in true X-COM-inspired style.

Why should you be excited that Chaos Gate is a Warhammer 40,000 Universe game? Because that means that we get all cleverness, a wealth of equipment and weaponry to choose from, and a well-written, enticing plot that transfers well from the tabletop to the computer screen.

1998 doesn’t get much better than this - so treat yourself to some squad-based strategy with Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate, DRM-free on GOG.com.





In the Press

“By and large, it’s the best PC implementation of the Warhammer system to date” -- PC Gamer

“Warhammer is a complex, vastly entertaining strategy gaming system, and Chaos Gate does full justice to it.” -- Gamespot

“A heavy tank becomes an Imperial Dreadnaught, draped with the banners of the Emperor and drawn in a style that lets you know it is ready roll over the ranks of the enemy and crush their bones beneath its treads.” -- IGN

It is great to see these games here plus steam wont get it so hopefully this will pull more traffic our way.

Totalbiscut will be mighty pleased at this news, methinks.

It seems that there are quite a few bugs in this release, I'm hoping they get sorted out as I'd really like to buy this game.

First the Star Trek games and now Warhammer? GOG has some incredible negotiators!

tburger: Second part o SotHR - Dark Omen (a masterpiece of its own).

l0rdtr3k: Since I'm a huge fan of 40K,is SotHR a great intro to WH Fantasy?
And is there good books I can read on WH:F?

k1bell: There's Dark Omen, sequel of Shadow of Horned Rat. There's also Mark of Chaos and the coming Total War: Warhammer.
(only list those singleplayers and for PCs)

l0rdtr3k: I'm really looking forward to to Total War:Warhammer.
It's funny timing since Games Workshop has just (within the last few months) retired the Warhammer Fantasy setting in a big event called "End Times", and used elements from it to launch a new fantasy setting, Age of Sigmar, that more closely parallels the Warhammer 40K setting.

Re: good books, the quality does vary but I am hooked anyway. One of the very best off the top of my head was Riders of the Dead by Dan Abnett. The adventures of Gotrek & Felix (around 19 books) are very popular. Knights of Bretonnia, Brunner, and Marienburg series are also quite good, but Marienburg was cut short. Other good books: Honour of the Grave, Star of Erengrad, Hammers of Ulric, Zavant. Or you could go back in time, to the life of Sigmar Heldenhammer under the Time of Legends banner, or back to the weirder early days of the WHF setting in the Konrad trilogy by David Ferring or Vampire Genevieve by Jack Yeovil. There are also several anthologies you could also start with. The Blood Bowl books are packed with humor.

What a day! Just starting to get into the turn-based strategy of X-Com EU, and now you pull this... I shan't be able to stop smiling 'til at least tomorrow evening.

Daaamn, didn't know that. Incidentally I'm playing VtM: Bloodlines right now and only several days ago I learned that WhiteWolf didn't just stop making VtM products and moved on to a new franchise back then but that in the end they actually created products documenting the apocalypse which the lore had been about all along. Until then I didn't even know that long-running tabletop franchises get ended this way which kinda came as a shock to me. And now you're telling me that the same thing happened to the Warhammer Fantasy universe which I have grown up. Argh, my heart! It can't take this!

eiii: If nothing else it's at least the newest of the three.

yyahoo: 1998 vs 1997? {shrug} I can't imagine how a difference of 1 year could be the reasoning, but then again, I can't imagine what the difference is, so maybe you're right...
For me I'm happy to pay the difference due to the difficulty of running this on modern systems. I still have the disc and to get it to run, I had to run it in a Windows 98 virtual machine. Maybe how much work they do to get it to run factors into the price, just a guess though.

I scored all of these but have never played any of them. I have played to death Warhammer 40k Dawn of War and was saddened to see Sega get those publishing rights the other year from THQ. Would LOVE to see Dawn of War here, the first game mostly, and complete with all expansions...might be a wait ;(

These Warhammer games are not my cup of tea BUT I like how they are "Only on gog.com"!
More games labeled that way dev-pubs, more of 'em! :D
