Shadow War: Armageddon

About this board game

Shadow War: Armageddon is a squad-level Warhammer 40,000 skirmish game for 2–4 players, with games taking around 120 minutes. It adapts the rules of Games Workshop’s classic Necromunda for battles fought across the hive cities of War Zone: Armageddon.

Players command kill teams in individual encounters while a baked-in campaign system gives the game a broader structure beyond a single battle. The setting places these skirmishes amid the dangerous hive cities of an active war zone, bringing small-unit conflict to the forefront.

The boxed set provides the core materials needed to begin, including modular terrain, templates, dice, and miniatures for Blood Angels Scouts and Ork Boyz. It also includes rules for three kill-team types:

• Space Marine Scout kill teams
• Ork Boyz kill teams
• Astra Militarum kill teams

Additional faction rules are supplied online and in the stand-alone rulebook, expanding the available forces with a wide range of Warhammer 40,000 armies and specialist groups. These include Chaos Space Marines, Dark Eldar Wych Cults, Craftworld Eldar, Genestealer Cult Hybrids, Grey Knights, Harlequin Troupes, Necrons, Skitarii Rangers, Tau Pathfinders, Tyranid Warriors, Adepta Sororitas, and Inquisition.

With its combination of modular battlefields, squad-level action, and campaign play, Shadow War: Armageddon offers a focused way to experience conflict between distinctive kill teams in the grim setting of War Zone: Armageddon.
