Get your first glimpse of Warhammer game Age of Sigmar: Storm Ground in action

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Storm Ground

Conquer the Mortal Realms! The first strategy videogame adaptation of Age of Sigmar’s dark-fantasy universe. Lead your highly-customisable force in challenging roguelike campaigns, unlocking new units, equipment and skills in dynamic, turn-based warfare.

Focus Home Interactive has shared a new video showcasing core gameplay in the publisher's upcoming Warhammer game, Age of Sigmar: Storm Ground. Storm Ground marks the first serious attempt to adapt Games Workshop's Age of Sigmar tabletop line into a videogame format, with previous attempts mainly involving free-to-play or mobile-style games.

Storm Ground is a turn-based strategy game where you can take charge of a highly customisable army from one of three factions; the not-Space Marine Stormcast Eternals, the Nighthaunt, and the Nurgle-tastic Maggotkin. Each faction has their own playstyle, for example the Stormcast are incredibly tanky, while the Nighthaunt prefer good old-fashioned swarm tactics. You can choose from several hero units within a faction to lead your force, with a diverse roster of additional unit types inspired by the tabletop game to back up your leader.

There will be a campaign mode where you can collect additional heroes, units, wargear, skills, and weapons via a card-based collection mechanic. Campaigns are non-linear and procedurally generated, and you can take your force online in multiplayer skirmishes as well. Emphasis has also been put on the game's environments, with certain tiles being key to victory.
