Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus goes back to the 90s with Space Hulk event

Hulking out

Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus goes back to the 90s with Space Hulk event
  • Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus is going back to the 90s with a new Space Hulk event
  • Step into the heavily armoured shoes of Deathwing terminators versus Genestealers
  • Meanwhile, the next event sees the Black Templars and Sisters of Battle take on the Death Guard

We've had a keen eye on Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus since it launched. Being arguably the most popular mobile entry of the grimdark future, any update is news for us. But I think I'm not alone in saying it's surprising to see Tacticus head back to the 90s with a new Space Hulk-themed event!

For those younger readers, Space Hulk may not be a familiar name. But amongst older fans of Warhammer, it'll conjure images of late-night gaming sessions, tension-filled treks through spaceship hallways and terrifying images on PC screens.

Originating as a tabletop experience, and having many well-received video game adaptations over the years, Space Hulk pits the heavily armoured Space Marine Terminators against hordes of Tyranid Genestealers. Now, you'll step into the shoes of the Dark Angels Deathwing company as they take on the alien hordes within the monolithic halls of the titular space hulks in this new survival event.
