Warhammer 40k Risk Announced

[SirJyo]

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?

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.

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.

[Dark Shepherd]

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]

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]

I might get it if it is variant enough from Risk.

[Brother-serpent Tylydox]

I thought GW went bankrupt.

[DuskRaider]

Yup, I'm grabbing this.

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.

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

Really hoping the marines are 8mil to go with Titanicus

[Subtleknife]

I'm tempted just to get it for titanicus lol

[redmapa]

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.

and just like that you have convinced me to buy a copy. 

[jbaeza94]

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]

I’m simple man, so Battleship 40K would suffice.

Finally, a Vigilus Campaign that doesn't suck

[MithrilForge]

This is nice, Buying this won't be a Risk

Is this the first time the word 'Grimdark' has actually been used on official product, licensed or otherwise?

No, not by far. ^^

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.

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.

[mel_danes]

I’m simple man, so Battleship 40K would suffice.

Battle Fleet Gothic: Battleship

"A Grimdark game of ship to ship battle in the Gothic Sector"

 

I'd totally buy it.

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.
