It’s like chess, but with Orks and Space Marines as the pieces. Checkout the ultimate ‘Battle Chess’.

A little bit more visceral than standard chess, and with a chance to actually salvage ‘bad’ moves, Warhammer 40k Regicide will be hitting stores this fall. The new video preview is here, and it looks good.

Checkout these game play still or skip down to the bottom and watch space marines march on to the chess space to battle the Xenos Orks!

Via Hammerfall Games

A narrative-driven spin based on a time-honoured board game

Set in the Segmentum Obscurus, the story begins with the death-rattle of a proud Imperial world and the victorious warcry of its alien conquerors. The Orks live only to wage unending war, and know it is only a matter of time before the Imperial war machine responds to their invasion.

Regicide, the strategy game based on chess set in the classic Warhammer 40,000 Universe from Games Workshop is an adaptation of ‘Regicide’, a board game described from the Warhammer 40,000 universe with similarities to the M2-era chess; played by mankind for over thirty-eight thousand years. Regicide blends board-game strategy mechanics with dynamic tactical abilities.

Regicide set for launch in Q2 2015, is easy to learn, but difficult to master – think outside the board and explore a new take on the rules of traditional chess: command different races with unique abilities, fight for varied game objectives, and call in strikes from off the board as you face off in multiple game modes. Battle across a single-player Blood Angels’ campaign. Challenge opponents worldwide in both ‘Regicide’ and ‘classic’ matches online, with ELO-rated stats and several game modes.
