Mike Haspil takes his knowledge of 40k lore to bring more light to the 40k World of Tanks collaboration- check it out!
Haspil has been a long-time guest on the Long War Podcast and has written multiple stories for Black Library, and it’s cool to see him bring more life to the characters in the game!
According to this article and his Facebook, he looks to also be one of the new Loremasters at Black Library.
If you want any of the 40k characters in World of Tanks, be sure to lock them in soon as most look like they can only be won/purchased through August 31st, so there is not too much time left! You can grab all the details for acquiring the characters here.
We always like a good 40k crossover, and the Grimdark setting is pretty perfect for the game! Let’s dive more into the characters and lore behind the game.
Mike Haspil Tells Us About New 40k World of Tanks
The info comes from the World of Tanks site.
Watch the interview above for all the info, but let’s check out more about the characters and how you can score them in the game!
Sister Aspais is a battle sister of significant prowess. Inducted into the Adepta Sororitas at a young age, much like other sisters, she fervently dedicated herself to her pious duties and prepared herself to fight when called upon by the Emperor. However, when that fight manifested at the Fall of Cadia, she was not there to answer the call. And though many of her order perished, it was their faith that brought about a miracle and summoned the great Saint Celestine.
Ultramarines
A competent, dependable, and level-headed officer, Lt. Thassius now commands the demi-company of the Ultramarines Second Battle Company. He worked his way up the ranks as an Impulsor operator and feels most at home with the pulse of gravitic plates beneath his boots and within the close confines of a battle tank. Commanding the Repulsor Executioner allows the Chapter to exploit his capabilities as an innovative and dangerous armour commander. With the knowledge of the ancient Standard Template Construct possibly falling into Xenos or Traitor hands, he would rather see it destroyed. But he is not ready to resign the Imperium’s legacy to that fate without a concerted fight.
Death Guard
Dolgoth Sepk is a Champion in the Death Guard’s 5th Company, known as the Poxmongers. He is not an overly ambitious person choosing instead to wallow slothfully in the blessings of Grandfather Nurgle’s gifts. However, whenever presented with the opportunity to impede or frustrate the efforts of his corpse-worshipping brethren, he will rise to the occasion and can be counted on to conduct his mission sheerly out of pure spite. If he can damage the Ultramarines in any way, he will. He undertakes the current mission to retrieve the Standard Template Construct with great zeal, for it means an accelerated path to the conquest of worlds in the heart of Ultramar and dealing a hammer blow to the so-called loyalists there.
Evil Sunz Orks
Krogler da Facegrinda, also known as the Mekaniak Facegrinda, is always in pursuit of two things: more speed and more Dakka. Anything that doesn’t contribute to those two characteristics he tends to ignore. He doesn’t care what’s in the ruins on the planet Tahnicus Mundi, only that the shiny gubbins within will bring all kinds of Beakies to krump and maybe he can loot one of their floaty tanks so he can get, you guessed it, more speed and more Dakka!
