This time we’ll be able to play as the baddies. Wait, isn’t that everyone in 40K?
During this year’s Warhammer Skulls event it was confirmed Space Marine 2 will have PvP multiplayer and a three-player co-op mode separate from the main campaign, which will also have its own co-op mode. So that’s nice. But the thing that’s got me hot and bothered is the announcement of a follow-up to Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus, the turn-based tactics game that placed at number two in our ranking of every Warhammer 40,000 game.
The original Mechanicus cast you as cyborged-up tech-priests, a whole squad of multi-armed Doctor Octopi in conflict with the necrons, the only inhabitants of the 40K universe more post-human than tech-priests. The necrons traded away all of their meat parts thousands of years ago in a bad deal that left them as angry robots slumbering the aeons away surrounded by tasteful Egyptian-themed decor on tomb worlds.
