NEW: ‘Deus Ex Mechanicus’ by Andy Chambers - A Warhammer 40,000 short story – “On the dead world of Naogeddon, mysterious tombs, missing explorators and deadly defenders cause trouble for the Adeptus Mechanicus. But the biggest danger might come from within…” May the Omnissiah protect! About the Game Take control of one of the most technologically advanced factions in the Imperium: the Adeptus Mechanicus. As Magos Dominus Faustinius, you’ll lead operations on the newly rediscovered planet of Silva Tenebris. Customize your force, manage resources, discover long-forgotten tech, and fight to prevent the Necron awakening across 50 hand-crafted missions. Flesh is weak! Upgrade your Tech-Priests with weapons, support items, servo-skulls and other mechanical augments as you assemble your cohort. Customize your force’s disciplines, choosing from multiple character classes to create a squad for every playstyle. Engage in immersive tactical combat that will test your mettle under the extreme threat of the Necron awakening. Access your most powerful weapons and abilities by using Cognition points and advance against the enemy without mercy. Fear not the xenos, for the Omnissiah watches over you. Experience a compelling story written by Black Library author Ben Counter, filled with richly imagined characters and specifically crafted to fit the unique personality of the Adeptus Mechanicus faction. Highly evocative, skilfully realised visuals combine with Guillaume David's incredible audio design to transport you to the grim darkness of the far future. From aboard your Ark Mechanicus, the Caestus Metalican , make difficult decisions that will lead you towards one of multiple endings for a truly unique playthrough. Be warned, however: the more you explore each Necron tomb, the greater the rewards but also the greater the threat. Collect in-game achievements and be rewarded with strong abilities that can be used once per mission to aid you in the heat of battle.
