Games Workshop Introduces “Warhammer 40,000: Darktide” Miniatures Game
Games Workshop has announced the launch of “Darktide: The Miniatures Game,” a new tabletop game derived from the “Warhammer 40,000: Darktide” video game. This addition to the Warhammer 40,000 universe allows players to engage in strategic gameplay on the tabletop, with a setting rooted in the hive city of Tertium, where a lethal pathogen has wreaked havoc.
The game is designed for up to four participants who will take on the roles of characters represented by miniatures reflecting the video game’s classes: the Veteran, the Zealot, the Ogryn, and the Psyker. These players will face adversaries such as the Traitor Guardsmen from the Moebian 6th regiment, equipped with various weapons and tactical gear.
