The game is very, very tactical and units can be vaporized after only a single bad roll of the RNG. It's till fun, but in reality it stands on the shoulders of COH. I'll assume you already know, but you have to utilize cover and the map's blindspots effectively to succeed.Īs for parity with the tabletop: there isn't much as far as 1 to 1 conversions here. You get some pretty heavy debuffs if running from melee combat, for instance so don't show your back to the enemy.ģ) This game is quite tactical and positioning is very, very important. They can get overwhelmed or cornered quite easily, and anti-tank is easy to research and field (though it's expensive).Ģ) Retreat BEFORE you have a problem. I just love watching those big dumb space marines fuck up.ġ) It wasn't always the most balanced, but the general rule is this: Never lose a unit, never move a vehicle without support. I, admittedly, love all things space elf so maybe I'm a bit biased. For 40k, it's hard to find anything better. It's not, like, the greatest story ever told but I enjoyed it quite a lot.
It's relatively simple in design but there's a ton of customization in the single player as well. The base game and Retribution's story lines are quite fun. I don't have a ton of time, but I wanted to at least give you a response:
