Set in Warhammer 40,000’s 41st millennium, the game casts you as the commander of a faction army led by a Warlord. You collect cards and build a deck around your chosen faction.
In turn-based battles, play units and stratagem cards, then choose whether units attack at range or in melee. Warlords actively engage enemy units, while battlefield scenarios can add environmental effects that shape a match.
Factions use distinct mechanics, such as Ork mob attacks, Tyranid swarms, and Necron reanimation. Starter decks are available for each faction, and the campaign system lets you direct rewards toward one faction’s collection; matches include player-versus-player and AI play.
Players who enjoyed Warpforge often point to its distinct faction mechanics, strategic card battles, and Warhammer setting, with card art and voice lines also drawing praise. Many reviews, however, focus on disappointment and anger over the reported server shutdown, particularly its timing after new cards and paid events. Other recurring criticisms concern balance and the pace or cost of building a collection.

Play with ten of the most popular Warhammer 40,000 factions from the start, with more factions coming to the game in the future through regular content expansions.

Discover unique gameplay mechanics, perfectly tailored to the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Your Warlord leads your army from the front, actively engaging enemy units.

Scenarios also play a role in battle. At the start of each match, the player going first will be able to choose the moment of the attack, triggering environmental effects for both players and changing the scenario itself! Each battleground provides different options, each adding new factors to take into account when strategizing your path to victory.
