SirJyo Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) The 40k FB page posted a link to another licensed product that is upcoming, Risk! https://theop.games/2020/04/risk-warhammer-40000-board-game-coming-soon/ A crossover like this was inevitable I guess. It seems fairly low on model count for your standard risk game. Thoughts?

Sword Brother Adelard Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Have a look here: https://theop.games/products/game/risk-warhammer-40000/ This page lets you zoom in a little on the pics. Could be a good source of Adeptus Titanicus basing material? Depending on scale and level of detail.

DeadFingers Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Now that this is in front of my face, I am entirely bewildered by the thought that not only did this not happen earlier, but that 40k Monopoly came before it. It seems like such an easy pairing. Magos Valkamar, Sword Brother Adelard, Felix Antipodes and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Shepherd Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I love the fact its set on Vigilus Great idea and is free money/promotion for GW. The more of these type of things in toy stores the better Llagos_Tyrant 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llagos_Tyrant Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I kind of want it, just to double it as a Risk boardgame and use it as a big physical map with actual territories for a Vigilus 40k Narrative Campaign.

Captain Idaho Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I might get it if it is variant enough from Risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mel_danes Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 They need to just get it done and release a WH40K "Axis and Allies" cross over. That game had so much better tactical feel than Risk.

That game had so much better tactical feel than Risk.Not all risk games are the same, risk Europe has attack phases based on unit type, seige weapons, and tax collection. Plays like a Axis and allies lite. Risk is more of a brand at this point. Seeing as there only about 10 tanks/infantry in the images of assume this version will also be divergent gameplay wise Edited April 23, 2020 by SirJyo Bruce Malcom and mel_danes 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Really hoping the marines are 8mil to go with Titanicus Bruce Malcom 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtleknife Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I'm tempted just to get it for titanicus lol Bruce Malcom 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmapa Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Ok I guess, I was hoping it'd be set on Terra during the Horus Heresy and be like the FFG game they had years ago. That was a cool game that I wished I bought. At least it doesnt seem to be the standard Risk. Bruce Malcom and Arendious 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbaeza94 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I think this combined with kill team/40k would make an interesting narrative campaign. Each soldier represents 100 points (or something). Play a quick match, winner claims territory. I think with some creativity it could be a campaign in a box.

rookie40K Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I’m simple man, so Battleship 40K would suffice. Lord Marshal, Quantum, mel_danes and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scammel Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) Is this the first time the word 'Grimdark' has actually been used on official product, licensed or otherwise? Edited April 24, 2020 by Scammel Bruce Malcom 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Is this the first time the word 'Grimdark' has actually been used on official product, licensed or otherwise? No, not by far. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandlemad Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Is this the first time the word 'Grimdark' has actually been used on official product, licensed or otherwise? Maybe not the first time but it's striking by its placement right on the cover. It's certainly been used in WHC and other marketing material, though not always as the single word, but there's rarely a reason for it to be used in this exact fashion on a GW product.

Scammel Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Is this the first time the word 'Grimdark' has actually been used on official product, licensed or otherwise? No, not by far. ^^ As Sandlemad says, it's definitely featured on the site but that's always been in that tongue-in-cheek web copy tone. For the company to embrace the phrase so strikingly on an actual product speaks to the internet's power to determine just what 40k is these days.

Xenith Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I thought GW went bankrupt. Where do you get this info? GW seems to have a lot of spare cash to hand at all times and cleared their debts, according to their financials, or are you trolling?

I think he meant that the interpreted the "risk announced" in the title as GW going bankrupt, instead of the board game.
