The Warhammer 40,000 Darktide board game announcement
In an official Warhammer-Community post, Games Workshop explains what the Warhammer 40,000 Darktide board game will contain. Broadly, the main story is unchanged. A deadly pathogen has spread through the hive city of Tertium, and its defenders have died or have been corrupted by Chaos.
To stop this incursion, and to ensure nothing of value is lost, the Inquisition has strong-armed teams of hopeless rejects from Imperial prisons to throw at the problem. One to four players take on different roles: the Veteran, the Zealot, the Ogryn, and the Psyker. The missions are near-suicidal, and you are easily replaced. Good luck.
The Warhammer 40,000 Darktide videogame released in November 2022. It is a co-op first-person action game where players work together to fight enemies, complete objectives, and try not to die. It was developed by Fatshark, the same studio behind the Warhammer Vermintide games. It is still receiving active support by the developer.
In the Warhammer 40,000 Darktide board game, these four different roles will be represented by a classic Warhammer 40,000 miniature. In addition, the game will contain enemy miniatures. These include the Traitor Guardsman and Nurgle's Poxwalkers, Overall, the box will contain 20 miniatures.
Overall, playing a session of the Warhammer 40,000 Darktide board game will be familiar to Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team players. Players will go through several intense interlinked missions, getting into skirmishes with hordes of enemies.
According to GW it is perfect for introducing aspiring hobbyists to the setting and a great way to glimpse the skirmish spin-off game. There is currently no confirmed release date for the title.
