The graphics in Battlefleet Gothic: Armada II are absolutely beautiful, just like the first one. You can play versus AI on low difficulty, or turn it up and experiment with different fleet builds and skill/ability combinations. The game is friendly to casual and more tactical fans alike. The Cadian sector has fallen, and Admiral Spire returns just in time to take control of the situation. The game is set 800 years after the events of the first Battlefleet Gothic: Armada in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. There are singleplayer campaigns available for the Imperial Navy, Necrons, and Tyranids. A welcome improvement from the first game. There is currently no DLC available as all races are available in the base game. It retails for $39.99 wherever Steam keys are sold. It’s identical to the first Battlefleet Gothic: Armada, and the campaign resembles the Total War: Warhammer II style world map with RTS battles. ![]() You command fleets from nearly all the races and factions in the Warhammer 40k universe.

There have been so many times I read pieces from players that I thought made excellent commentaries, expansions and additions for Blood Red Skies that I’ve wanted to put together something like this for quite some time. It’s really good to see it all come together! What’re you most excited about in Wing Commander?Īll of it really, each article in it is a real gem. While the need for print books has faded a little with modern ‘tech’, we still felt there was value to ensuring good content was collated and didn’t just disappear into some archive on the internet. We’d periodically do compendiums of the best content for different systems so players could catch up with articles they’d missed and have them conveniently in one place instead of scattered across multiple issues. Where did the idea for Wing Commander come from?īack in our GW days I worked closely with (Warlord Design Studio boss) Paul Sawyer on White Dwarf magazine. The rest is articles and core game stats I thought would be interesting and useful to most fans of the game. I say ‘some of’ because there literally wasn’t enough room to fit in everything! I’ve worked together with the creators of each article to put it all together, but I think the real credit here must go to Steve Toth and Brett Canter for putting together the madcap, sprawling narrative campaign system that makes up the core of the book. Wing Commander is a compendium of some of the best of the Blood Red Skies community content I’ve seen over the past five years. In a nutshell, what is the Wing Commander compendium? Blood Red Skies is a game of aerial combat I came up with for my own entertainment back in 2010, but I eventually persuaded Warlord to release it as a game system! BRS has drawn together a community of very dedicated players and they’ve been a huge help in coming up with new plane stats, cards and scenarios as the system has grown. At Warlord I’ve worked on Bolt Action and the 2000 AD series of games (Strontium Dog, Judge Dredd, Sláine and, most recently the in-development ABC Warriors). I’m Andy Chambers, and I’ve been designing games since 1990 first with Games Workshop (Epic, 40K, Necromunda, Gorkamorka, Battlefleet Gothic) and later freelance for many different companies including Warlord Games. ![]()
