We're hungry like THESE Wolves & looking forward to their Tacticus debut on 2-Apr. And we're not done: Big reveals coming up at WarhammerFest (29-Apr) and later at Skulls. Before all that, we'll be asking YOU for your vote on a future faction, so keep watching the skies...
As voted by you, our amazing Tacticians, we're delight to announce playable TYRANIDS as the next faction. Beginning on 20 August, join the synaptic network and steer the swarm. We hope you're as excited as we are, and that you'll consume the galaxy...er...spread the word!
Our latest
#tacticus
faction: The Aeldari. Protect yourselves from She Who Thirsts with five new playable characters. Calandis Tawaren, Veteran Ranger, & Aethana Barantharal, Autarch have been revealed so far, and three more are hidden in the image below. Who else do you see?
We're celebrating Space Marine 2 like every other Warhammer fan...and we've also got Lt. Titus joining the fight in Tacticus! Prepare with the in-game code ULTRATITUS today👊
Announcing our next (player-voted) faction! The first one, Wrask the Terminator, hits the ground fighting through his release event starting on 17 March.
Welcome, Blood Angels! Our 1.20 update is rolling out, and the notes herald the arrival of our latest (player-voted) faction. Check out the full notes in game or on our Discord server. There's all kinds of great stuff in this patch, and we think you're going to love it 🩸
Going to
#WarhammerFest
? Every attendee who comes by our booth will get an Epic Dark Angel as a souvenir of the show. (Chaos fans: The next faction (announced in June) will be for YOU.) Can't make the Fest? Look out for giveaways, soon!
The spooky season begins tomorrow in Tacticus! Watch the offer calendar for our free gifts to you, and don't miss the Infested Tournament beginning on Halloween. The celebration kicks off in our Discord with costume contests, painting contests, and more!
We're running another edition of Survival this coming Halloween! Who would be a more fitting featured Character than Azkor the Exalted Eightbound? This event will allow play from all his Chaos allies and cohorts to aid him in his endeavors! Blood for the Blood God!
Our Like/Share/Win contest is wrapping up, and it's time for one last event. Please reply within 24 hours, with a photo of the view you see when you're playing the game, and we'll DM you one last Ratatosk Shenanigans code. Let's see how far around the world Tacticus has gotten!
We are very proud to announce that Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus is now live around the world. Thank you, early access players! And now -- into the grim dark future:
Whether it was the longest or the shortest day of the year for you, we're glad you're with us in Tacticus. For the development team in Sweden, it's GLADMIDSOMMAR24, and if you enter that code in game before the weekend is over, you'll enjoy the picnic lunch we've packed for you.
Last October, we surveyed our amazing community to find out which factions you most hoped to see in the future, and as you know, we adjusted our plans accordingly. But now we need fresh intel. Will you help us by taking the new faction survey?
You lifted us to victory at the Pocket Gamer awards a few months ago. Anyone want to have another celebration? Pocket Game _Mobile Games_ have the People's Choice nomination form open. If we're your choice, we'd sure appreciate it if you'd let them know:
We've been busy since the big launch, and our next update is in testing right now. Which of these are you most looking forward to seeing?
- A new faction
- More campaign content
- More Onslaught
Watch this space!
#tacticus
is moving ahead at top speed 🚀🚀🚀
Games Workshop just announced the time and date of the next Skulls event: 25 May, at 9 AM Pacific/Noon Eastern/5 PM BST/6 PM CEST. We'll be part of it, with our new faction announcement and maybe, just maybe, some free stuff. See you there, Tacticians!
Adding a faction is no small thing, as it affects the balance between factions and metas and…tactics. But we’re proud to be the Warhammer game with so many playable factions, and we want to add more. Will you help us, and be heard?
The new Survival event has begun! Can you make it to the brutal end? Note that there is an update waiting for you wherever you get your apps. Please install it _before_ attempting to play Survival.
Tell the galaxy that Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus has launched! Our hex-based, fast-paced competitive strategy game has over 200,000 pre-registered players diving into campaigns, PVP, and guild battles. RT and tell your friends to join the fight!
Thanks to everyone who nominated us, because you got us to the final round! Voting closes at midnight GMT on 6 April. Would you please tick the box for Tacticus?
Thank you for your help and support. Tacticus wouldn't happen without you.
Welcome, new Tacticians! Joining a game celebrating our second anniversary can be daunting, so one of our partnered Creators has done you a guide. In less than 15 minutes, you'll know everything you need to know.
Check out the Hobby Hub in game for all the details on her skills and abilities. Here's a snippet!
"Jain Zar whirls in bloody arcs to carve through foes, before vaulting into a new position. With a flick of her wrist she unleashes the Silent Death..."
Happy Orktober to all who celebrate! Join our Discord and enter any of our three contests: Ork Mini Painting, Ork Low-Rent Costume, and Pumpkin Carving/Painting. We'll be giving Blackstone to everyone with a valid contest entry, so slap that WAAAGH ability and rush right in.
Our cinematic Adeptus Mechanicus trailer is live and ready to share, so we can let the world know there's another playable faction in Tacticus! We hope we've captured the spirit of them -- let us know what you think in the comments:
Does your flag have any red, white, or blue in it? Are you celebrating any kind of holiday in the next month or two? Great! Celebrate a little bit with us (but please enter the code by this Friday night): 2024REDWHITEBLUE
How tiresome. We're now popular enough that scammers are targeting our Tacticians. SWELL. Block anyone that isn't me claiming to offer CS, and if you're ever wondering if something is legit, just ask me on here/Discord/FB.
Happy Monday, Tacticians! How high did you get Calandis in the event that just ended? I fought her up to Epic, myself, and I need to know if that was good or bad.
This holiday was made for
#tacticus
, but we don't have a trick...just a treat. Go to your Settings screen in game, and look for the "input code" line. Type in SKULLS2022 -- and we'll send you 50 Blackstone to celebrate this spooky season.

I've been teasing our Discord denizens with hints about the upcoming update. I told them a group...dare I say FACTION...of them will be super happy very soon ;)
We hope you all had a great weekend, and enjoyed the first live PVP event. The dev team certainly did...that's right, many of you schooled/were schooled by the game's designers. You never know who you're facing across the hexagons, and we're all looking forward to the next round!
The Hobby Hub in game (we've placed the icon for it between the inventory and mailbox icons on your home screen) is always going to be the place to see the latest! Today, we've got a first impressions survey. We want to hear your voice, Tacticians!
We are SO sorry about the Tournament problems. The unfiltered stuff is in the Discord announcement channel - but TLDR, we know what happened, it won't happen again, we're discussing how to thank you all for your patience today.
We've posted in the Hobby Hub and the Discord about the end of the Calandis event. Short version, if you did the event, we're sending you a little gift.
We said we'd throw a party when our official Discord hit 40K members, because that is clearly the best number in the universe.
That party is going right now! Join the server for contests, freebies, and a celebration of all the fun we have together.
Survival isn't over yet, but we're already into the next development cycle. Snowprint needs your thoughts before we lock down the next update, so we hit 'em before the next Survival event begins.
So take the survey by Monday morning, if you can!
Keep your eyes on the stores, Tacticians - we've submitted the builds and now it's up to them. We can't wait for you to see the new faction! We actually tried to make a teaser image, but our Ambassadors and Creators guessed it instantly. Please accept this old Ork teaser instead.
We've just posted the Battery overview in game on the Hobby Hub! Check it out, and then keep your eyes on the Hub for preview videos from our partnered content creators. 10 June is coming soon...
How do you unlock your own Machine of War in Tacticus? The new recurring five day event, Incursion! All the details are live on the Hobby Hub right now, just look for this banner:
Our friends at Squidmar Miniatures painted an entire Ork army for a dad whose own army was stolen. This vid has it all: Love! Loss! Airbrushing! Kindness! Orks!
Thanks to the Squidmar crew for letting us be part of the magic with our sponsorship.
Pls RT this gossip to Tacticians in Australia:
-- Aethana event starts this Sun.
-- Farseer (OOPS, SPOILER) event starts mid-Nov
-- Not talking about the next Aeldari's all new special event ;)
-- Soon to share writeup on cool new Guild Raid feature, stay tuned
I'm quiet today because I'm making the banners for our new creators, we've got some amazing people making great content right now. Thanks to all of you flying the flag on YouTube and Tiktok!
Low rent costume contest is back! You could get 300 Blackstone just for putting a yellow bucket on your head and picking up a chainsaw...as long as you take a picture of the result and post it in our Discord by next Friday.
Warhammer Community released the full schedule for
#WarhammerFest
, and we're so excited to be on it! Three days of fun, fighting, and exclusive reveals...we can't wait. More details to come! For now, hit the news link:

I posted a full explanation in the Discord, too -- short version is we know what went wrong, and I can tell you why I'm sure this won't happen again. SO sorry, though. Live PVP is our pride and joy and we hope you love it, too.

At 1 AM PDT -- 4 AM EDT -- 9 AM BST -- 10 AM CEST -- 4 PM CST on Friday, 13 Sept, we will be taking down the servers so we can do some updates. Expected downtime is very short, but could take up to an hour. Please tell your guildmates to not start any battles around that time!
To the guy who was up on me 4-1, missed taking out my Morvenn by one hit point, but in the attempt got three of his heroes within her missile range and she herself was one move from an empty capture point... that's a

#sorrynotsorry
from me.
The screenshot making the rounds where every hex has a summon is, admittedly, pretty funny. But we've got a fix in the coming update to prevent that from happening, along with dozens of other bug fixes and performance optimizations (we see you, hot iPhones and freezing Androids).
We're always looking for more content creators like DB Preacher! Got a YouTube/Twitch/TikTok? Apply here: We support our Creators with early access builds of the game, contest prizes, in game promotion, and more!
Designer interview! Tauna, one of our favorite YouTubers, got a few minutes to sit down with a member of the Tacticus design team and had some burning questions answered. Check it out!
The new 48 hour live PVP tournament begins on 8-September at 7 AM PDT/10 AM EDT/4 PM CEST, and we can't wait to see what happens. Reply with a screenshot of your planned lineup, the
#tacticusPVP
tag, and where you think you'll rank in two days...
Hey Tacticians -- we pushed a wee server update to take care of some issues with the Bellator Quest and the new Guild Raid Primes. Restart your phones and let me know if it helped?
