Warhammer 40,000 Regicide Is Looking Pretty Ace In New Trailer!
February 3, 2015 by brennon
Warhammer 40,000: Regicide, the new chess based game from Hammerfall Publishing, is looking pretty awesome if the new trailer is anything to go by! Nice graphics, cool animations and some interesting game modes...
Above you can see some of the Space Marine characters that you'll be able to use on the virtual chessboard. I like the quality of the 3D work they've been doing and all the characters look ace.
The Orks are looking just as cool too and it brings up an interesting point about the different game modes in Regicide. On the one hand you have the aforementioned Regicide mode which allows you to use special powers, psychic abilities, ranged attacks and more against your opponents in an alternative game mode.
There's also regular chess where you just duke it out against your opponent on some cool looking landscapes. PC, mobile and tablet can all play together with a cross platform experience meaning this might be cool to play on the go.
What do you think?

like it.
Ehm… the game looks truly amazing and i’ll probably buy it as soon as it’s at a decent price ( if it has great multiplayer with ranked play mode i’ll buy it asap! )… but why does an ork scream like a bull ?!?!? Seriously… no WAAAGHHHH!?!?!?!
Also, Chaos, Necrons and all the other races pretty please.
And Tyranids. Don’t forget the Bugs. 🙂
You said ‘and all the othe races’ already – nevermind then.
thanks for the hint….as a old school round based game fan I will keep that game in mind
Nice!!!. The house work, emails, phone calls, or anything productive, would cease if I had this..lol
Id like a chaos gate remake
Damn right! Think X-Com + 40K. Would be everything I have been waiting for… 😀
wizard chess (harry potter) meets 40K look good.
yup, gonna have to get this one:)
Battle Chess is 27 years old. Any ideas on GOOD space marine games?
Space Marine is a pretty good one, imo … other than that GW is trying their hardest to support very mediocre video game titles.
Final liberation and Chaos gate (if you can get it working in a modern windows), are still very good 40k strategy titles.
And dont forget Dawn of War I + II ! II looks better but I is so much more fun to play, awesome mission designs II is way to generic.
I thought dawn of war had the same problem that 40k has ; guns for show, knife for a pro … Was hillarious seeing a legion of space marines getting assaulted by 10 orcs storming a shit ton of bolter fire.
So the nob is a Queen then?
Chess reinvented. How cute. Looks good thou.
