It's a new year, and you know what that means! New Warhammer games!

2016 kicks things off with Talisman: The Horus Heresy, which is a digital board game based on the Talisman rule system and set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

Unlike the original Talisman, which was a solo affair, Horus Heresy will feature "combative team play" where up to four players will be able to take control of one or more of the galaxy’s heroes or villains.

Horus Heresy

Also, instead of exploring a kingdom you'll be roaming about an entire galaxy. And you'll no longer be fighting for the Crown of Command, but for the very future of humanity.

No pressure or anything.

You can take the side of either traitor or loyalist, and form companies of Space Marines, battalions of tanks, and fleets of spacecraft.

Horus Heresy

Talisman: The Horus Heresy is coming to PC and Mac at the end of February 2016, with Android and iOS versions due a little later in the Spring.

Get more info on the official site.

The whole thing is not to be confused with the grim Clash of Clans-alike The Horus Heresy: Drop Assault, of course: same source material, very different game.
