    holy shit those last few seconds of actual gameplay. game looks a lot like the Dawn of War series, which is fitting. I wasn’t really sure 40k could fit the Total War mould, but seems like CA is willing to break the mould in pursuit of more money.

    Too bad Creative Assembly has gone to shit some time ago.

    I am expecting a broken product with broken promises

      I’d expect it to be ok, but a second game coming out before the first ever really got fully fixed.

    I’ve just started reading the Warhammer 40k books the last few months. This looks amazing, I can’t wait to jump into that universe

    With Medieval 3 announced recently as well, I wonder which one we are getting first.

    This will also be quite a bit different from the previous entries with the board being a galaxy instead of a region on a map. I’m excited, yet cautious after the release and recent handling of TWWH3.

      that last shot makes it seem like it’s still basically regions on a map, with the difference being purely visual. I’m more surprised that it’s going to be a heavy ranged focus, considering how many issues WH3 has had with ranged combat

    I would love to play it. But all the modern Total War games tend to include DENUVO which is a big no-no for me. And with no denuvo crackers active I don’t think it would be possible to remove it soon.

    I am happy to see 40K finally get the Total War treatment, but fuck man, no way is my PC gonna run that and I am not in a position to be getting a new one. Future goals I guess.

      I transitioned to GeForce Now for extremely graphically demanding games. Games like Total War do very well on the cloud.

    Man, if only I could get into turn-based (strategy or not) games, I’m missing good stuff between this and BG3, but it never clicks with me 😞

    Edit : to be fair, I know on the other side, some people who don’t like “action” games like Darktide or Space Marine are also missing good stuff

      The Total War series isn’t exactly turn based. The large scale strategic stuff is, where you position your armies and run your economy, but all of the battles are real time (with pause / ability to slow down time).

    I. Am. Hyped!

    I liked TW: Warhammer even though the setting isn’t my jam, but it’s well made and fun. WH40K has always been my thing and I’m super keen to see how they handle bringing it to the Total War playstyle and hoping it’s really good.

      I wouldn’t call it well made. Had a lot of quality issues and bugs that were not fixed.

    Henry Cavill is furiously masturbating right now.

    I own a few copies of Total War I got through giveaways. Can anyone recommend some good tutorials for someone who has never even booted up a TW game?

      The games have tutorials built in. There’s levels of advice you can turn up or down. Seriously, just play the game and you’ll learn as you go.

      The original Total War: Warhammer fantasy trilogy are by far the best TW games. And if you own multiple then you can combine them in one giant mega campaign. Definitely check them out when they are on sale.
