Even by the standards of Warhammer 40,000, the planet Armageddon is a seriously awful place to live. Currently enjoying its third all-consuming war against near-unstoppable invaders, it is at this point so blighted and irradiated that humans can only survive inside artificial habitats—that is, until they get bombed into dust by Orks during yet another offensive.
All of which makes it the perfect battleground to take centre stage in the game's new edition, announced at Adepticon this week. Not just because of its peak grimdarkness, but because it's got such a long history in the game and the lore—and this latest era for the game looks to be steeped in nostalgia for the game's past.
