: Standard chess rules using Warhammer 40,000 unit models, such as Space Marine Terminators as Queens and Orks as opposing pieces. Key Features Warhammer 40000: Regicide | Rock Paper Shotgun
is a turn-based tactical strategy game that serves as a hybrid between classic chess and the brutal combat of the Warhammer 40k universe. Developed by Hammerfall Publishing , it was released in late 2015 for PC and mobile platforms but was delisted and shut down in October 2022. Game Modes The game features two distinct ways to play:
: A complex variant where traditional chess movements are just the first phase. Players spend Initiative Points in a second "Initiative Phase" to use unit-specific abilities like firing bolters, throwing grenades, or unleashing psychic powers. In this mode, pieces have health and armor, meaning they can be whittled down and killed without being "captured" in the chess sense.
