Ulisses Bringing Role-Playing Back To The Grimdark Of Warhammer 40,000
July 4, 2018 by brennon
Games Workshop has been working alongside Ulisses to bring Wrath & Glory, the Warhammer 40,000 Role-Playing Game to the tabletop and pre-orders for the core book and more are now available to snap up.
Whether you are playing as an Imperial Guardsman, a Tech Priest, a Sister Of Battle or maybe even one of the Primaris Space Marine, you will be able to dive into this game set amongst the machinations and dark dealings of the Warhammer 40,000 world.
Games Workshop, in their latest blog post, actually put together a neat 'Example Of Play' webcomic showing off how a session might play out and teaching you about some of the basic mechanics.
It seems like they have been working away on plenty for the game and the pre-orders include the core book and also a first adventure module called Dark Tides.
In this adventure, you will be heading to the ocean world of Charybdion and find out that the base has been defiled by Chaos. There are five linked sessions to play through within the book giving you plenty of stories to tell.
As well as that you can also get your hands on a Beginner's Rulebook & Starter Adventure...
"The Wrath & Glory Beginner’s Rulebook contains all the essential rules for the game, presented with additional examples and a special comic section to help explain the game and the universe of Warhammer 40,000 to new players. Additionally, the starter adventure “Escape Da Rok” places a warband of Wrath & Glory heroes squarely in the action when Ork pirates hijack a starship carrying Imperial pilgrims!"
If you like the idea of jumping into the grimdark and battling it out against Chaos, Xenos filth and more then you have a lot to look forward to. Watch out for plenty more about the game at Gen Con 2018 as well!
You'd have no shortage of models to use when it came to representing your characters on the tabletop that's for sure!
Will you be jumping in on this?

As some one who pretty much missed on Dark Heresy when it was out I am happy to have another chnace to get into role-playing in 40k universe as it’s closer to my heart than any DnD setting ever will.
Probably gonna hold off on this for a bit – already preordered Fantasy 4th ed, and need to keep funds aside to get Nighthaunt and for Adeptus Titanicus. 😉
I can’t believe GW let this go forward with art that bad. This is 40K, this never should have happened.
What’s wrong with the art?
Agreed with Ben; the art on the two covers looks alright to me. If you’re refering to the comic, that’s not actually part of the RPG itself, just publicity material and in the style of other stuff they’ve used recently.
Sounds great I remember one of the Ragnar book’s he ended up in the underhives on earth fighting though spy’s and gang’s to get back to surface level’s just the story for this type of game.
I loved the way Dark Heresy and all the others played. This is going to have a lot to live up to.
I got to play a game at Origins and had a great time. I’m looking forward to the release.
