Nomad Games vient d’annoncer une déclinaison du système de Talisman à l’univers de Warhammer 40 000. Intitulé The Horus Heresy, le jeu se déroulera durant la période du même nom et permettra à quatre joueurs maximum de contrôler chacun une parmi dix-huit légions de Space Marines ainsi que différents héros, soit du coté des loyalistes, soit du coté des traitres. Le but étant de débarrasser la galaxie de la faction adverse. Pour l’occasion voici un teaser ainsi que quelques captures d’écrans

“I was there when Horus betrayed the Emperor…”

MONDAY JANYUARY 4 TH 2016, LYMM, CHESHIRE, UK: A new Horus Heresy digital game will be released next month, courtesy of indie publisher Nomad Games.  Talisman: The Horus Heresy is a board game based on the Talisman rule system and set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, in the cataclysmic events of the Horus Heresy.

Best known for its digital version of the classic Games Workshop board game  Talisman, Nomad Games will release  Talisman: The Horus Heresy on PC and Mac at the end of February 2016, with pre-orders available from the end of January.

The game will also be released on mobile formats in the Spring.

The new combative team play will appeal to fans of Talisman and the Horus Heresy alike. It’s a unique adaptation of Talisman that has been tailored specifically for digital platforms.

Up to four players will be able to take control of one or more of the galaxy’s greatest heroes or most notorious villains. Taking the side of either traitor or loyalist, these Warlords will form vast companies of Space Marines, battalions of tanks and battle fleets of spacecraft. They are the most powerful beings in the galaxy and their followers are legion.

In the original  Talisman board game, the player takes the role of a single adventurer travelling through a magical kingdom. With  Talisman: The Horus Heresy the player experience is scaled up exponentially, exploring not a kingdom but a whole galaxy in the 31 st Millennium.

No longer will you be fighting for the Crown of Command, but for the very future of humanity…

“We’re incredibly excited to finally announce the upcoming release of Talisman: The Horus Heresy; it’s been tough keeping this project under wraps until now,” said Nomad Games’ MD Don Whiteford.

“This game offers a fantastic introduction to the Horus Heresy universe, providing gamers with an insight into all the characters, weapons and battles.

“For those new to the world,  Talisman: The Horus Heresy is an entry point into this exciting universe, but we’re confident that the depth of the game we’ve created will also appeal hugely to the legions of  Horus Heresy fans across the globe.”

“Nomad  Games  has done a wonderful job with their adaptation of the Talisman board game, and now this use of the game’s proven and well loved mechanics with the wildly successful Horus Heresy setting takes it to a whole new level. Talisman + Horus Heresy – what’s not to like?” said Jon Gillard Games Workshop’s Head of Licensing.

Talisman: The Horus Heresy was unveiled at Games Workshop’s 40 th Birthday Party event, at the weekend.

The game will be available to pre-order on January 26 th, with the release scheduled for the end of February.
