Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II

Fast-paced tactical combat meets strategic management in this new installment of the hit game Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus. Lead the ancient immortal legions of the Necrons or the techno-religious acolytes of the Omnissiah: the fate of the world is in your hands.

After a slumber lasting millennia, the Nefershah Vargard mobilizes the legions of its dynasty to annihilate the intruders of the Adeptus Mechanicus who have settled on what they did not know was its world. Magos Dominus Faustinius is summoned across the galaxy to lend his hard-won expertise and ensure the Necrons fail in their endeavor. The conflict soon escalates into an ordeal on a scale no one anticipated, drawing in unknown and even more formidable external parties.

Two factions, two narrative campaigns, and two remarkably distinct playstyles. However, you have only one choice: whom will you lead to victory in this occult technological war fueled by the hatred of metal?

Assemble your forces, deploy your warriors, and crush your enemies in intense turn-based tactical combat. To claim victory, you must master and adapt the unique skills and playstyles of each faction, as well as the vast selection of fighters that make up the ranks of each side.

New environmental mechanics will demand unprecedented maneuvers. Play to your faction's strengths and weaknesses—take cover behind terrain obstacles as the Mechanicus, or destroy everything in your path as the Necrons.

Fight for control of an entire world by seizing regions and defending them against enemy forces. But you must also generate and manage vital resources to survive.

The Sankhotep dynasty awakens—hasten to repel its immortal legions with the Mechanicus, or protect the tombs of your Necron people by exterminating the vermin that have invaded your territory.

Play as Magos Dominus Faustinius and deploy a colorful entourage of tech-priests that you can optimize, or choose to customize your court of Necron nobles in the guise of Vargard Nefershah.

Manage the garrisons of each of your territories and assemble the appropriate forces for the mission; you have a wide choice of fighters for each faction.

The sublime music and sounds were created by the renowned composer Guillaume David; this soundtrack will transport you into the grim darkness that is the universe of Warhammer 40,000.

Incredible illustrations combined with highly detailed and authentic environments and characters bring the remarkable world of Warhammer 40,000 to life.

Ben Counter, the seasoned author known mainly for his Black Library novels, returns to tell the new chapter of the Mechanicus saga. Atone for Faustinius's past failures in his unending war against the ancient Necron race and follow the inexorable rise of Vargard Nefershah, who will stop at nothing to reclaim her dynasty's world seized by the Adeptus Mechanicus.

Experience a legendary conflict carefully woven across multiple campaigns and rich in narrative events. Your choices will determine the course of the war, as well as its consequences.
