Total War: WARHAMMER 40000 Gameplay
Total War: WARHAMMER 40,000 blends the series’ signature turn-based strategy with real-time tactical battles on a planetary scale, based on the limited gameplay shown so far and Creative Assembly’s long-running Total War formula. Set within a vast "galactic sandbox," players are expected to capture planets, upgrade interstellar fleets, and manage a war economy to dominate the stars. This transition from countries and cities to a planetary scale suggests that players may be able to call in orbital bombardments or unleash devastating weaponry to level the battlefield.
Ground combat is shown to feature iconic units—from battleline infantry and tanks to hulking Dreadnoughts—battling across diverse biomes and planetary installations. For the first time in the series, players appear to be able to utilize deep customization to personalize their force’s color scheme and heraldry. At launch, players can choose from four confirmed factions: Space Marines, Astra Militarum, Orks, and Aeldari.
