Devil Pig Games Announce New 40K Board Game, Heroes Of Black Reach
May 26, 2017 by stvitusdancern
Devil Pig Games and Games Workshop have announced a new partnership to bring the Warhammer 40K world to the Heroes game system (Heroes of Normandie). The game will be called Heroes of Black Reach and no it will not be going to Kickstarter!
According to the announcement:
In the world-hive of Black Reach, an Ork Waaagh! breaks, jeopardising this sector of the galaxy! You will soon be able to help the Ultramarines in their merciless fight against the Warlord Zanzag and relive the grim adventures of Captain Cato Sicarius and Sergeant Scout Marines Torias Telion!

For the Emperor!
This is very exciting, a board game without miniatures! Here is one of their existing games, giving you a flavour of what could be on the horizon.
If you are not familiar with this game system it is 2D based heavy cardstock and squad based. It will be interesting to see how this will translate to 40K. No matter how I can bet it will be a fun time.
What do you think of the idea?

Well damn. This IS good news. 🙂
This is indeed good news. Exciting stuff.
The Heroes system is great. Looks like I might actually be buying something to do with 40K in the future – have Heroes and Shadows already.
I’m going to pick this up, it may even lead to picking up Normandie in the future.
Wow, that’s an interesting development. I guess after the split with ffg, GW still intend to do licensed games, but will pick and choose the partners for each. Nice.
Preordered mine 🙂
