## What is Warhammer 40,000?

Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus ™ is a turn-based tactical strategy game set in the eternal conflict of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 Universe. Experience the intense battles of the Space Marine, Imperial, Chaos, and Xenos on the go!

In Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus ™, you bring some of the universe’s most powerful warriors to lightning-fast tactical skirmishes where you are in full control and only superior tactics can deliver victory. Expand your collection across multiple factions to find new tactical possibilities as you bring your troops to battle and sweep the galaxy clear of all resistance!

New players and grizzled fans of the Warhammer universe alike will find challenge in Tacticus, as they progress and compete in various game modes, including PvE Campaigns, PvP, live events, Guild Raids and much more.

CREATE THE ULTIMATE WARBAND
It’s your task as a collector to build your collection into an elite league of warriors capable of meeting any challenge. Equip your heroes with the ultimate gear, wrestled from the hands of your enemies, to enhance their attacks, armor, and abilities on the battlefield. Not every warrior is ideal for every task, however: Make key strategic choices in who to promote and pick teammates with complimentary abilities to maximize your chances in battle!

ENGAGE IN TURN-BASED BATTLES
Strategic choice in how to build your squad is only the beginning. Once the enemy closes, you must take advantage of terrain and positioning, as well as deploying your troops’ weaponry, specific traits and specialist abilities, to prevail. Martial skill reigns supreme!

RISE TO THE TOP
Choose your alliances wisely! Collaborate within your guild in raids against some of the most dangerous beings of the galaxy. You must unleash your guild’s entire arsenal of heroes and tactical tricks to outsmart the relentless enemy and establish your guild's dominance on the top of the global leaderboards.

### 5/5 — No forced ads here!

*2026-08-26, version 1.41.182*

I am really enjoying Tactics. 

The best thing is there are no forced ads! so you're not constantly interrupted while playing. 

There are in-app purchases available, but they're not necessary to progress, which makes the game feel much more player-friendly. 

Time is controlled by energy and tokens which takes time to regenerate but is fair. The acquisition of characters is random and can be frustrating at times but that is is a fun game to guess how many certus tokens you get.

I would advise people to: 
- sign up to the Tactician’s Club
- wait until you have 10 requisitions scrolls
- keep an eye out for codes on various sites like Tacticus codex

### 1/5 — Whale paradise

*2026-08-26, version 1.41.182*

If you haven’t been playing since day 1, good luck. On top of that everything is purchase or energy gated, meaning you log in for an hour a day after a certain point just to spend the energy to get upgrades without actually playing the game. Designed by a greedy corpo directly influenced by Games Workshop

### 5/5 — Good Gameplay

*2026-08-25, version 1.41.182*

Spent a decent amount of time in-game so far. Made some progress. The story is pretty good. I just wish there was more of a challenge early on. I feel strong and am leveling up fairly quickly; but that because it’s pretty simple. Maybe it will crank up later. Looking forward to the rest of the story. Character creation is cannon and good too. 5/5

### 4/5 — Review

*2026-08-25, version 1.41.182*

The game feels like what the tabletop would be if it developed on mobile, I like it but wish there were more factions like the salamanders or sons of malice

### 5/5 — Cannot give it up

*2026-08-25, version 1.41.182*

Exactly a good game, don’t really need to pay, but with severe Chinese translation problems. How can I contact snowprint for advice?

### 4/5 — Cool game

*2026-08-24, version 1.41.182*

The only thing to make this better is you should be able to use any character you unlock anytime you please

### 5/5 — Glitch

*2026-08-24, version 1.41.182*

Getting a glitch saying I’m not connected to the Internet when I try to play a mission or use requisitions. Fun game though

### 1/5 — Internet connection bug

*2026-08-24, version 1.41.182*

Randomly won’t let me do anything because I’m “not connected to the internet” despite my WiFi being unaffected

### 5/5 — My opinion and my recommendations

*2026-08-24, version 1.41.182*

Great game but should change the apearence of titus and his title. Should also change the salvation menu to look like the onslaught one.

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2026-08-24, version 1.41.182*

I have been playing since like last year at August and I can’t get enough of the game because of how everything works and how make you feel like you accomplished something like if you get stuck on a level and then you upgrade your people and learn from it it makes you feel like you earned it
