This lack of different races is why the modern setting would be best for a Total War: 40K. It would limit the number of playable races as the Heresy took place between the human factions of the Imperium. While the Horus Heresy is a fan favourite setting, that is also currently getting a new version of the tabletop game and allows the players to play as some of the Imperium’s most iconic characters, like Horus or Sanguinius. The Horus Heresy is a civil war that takes place within the Imperium of Man in the 31st Millennium, between the Heretics led by Horus and the loyalists led by the Emperor.

If there were to be multiple games, the first could take place on one half of the Maledictum with a possible sequel expanding out to the other. In 40K’s most recent big event, the galaxy was split in half by several warp storms called the Cicatrix Maledictum, also known as The Great Rift. The best option would be to use the entire galaxy, or at least a large part of it, and expand the galaxy map further with future games and DLC. The entire game could take place on a single planet, like the original Dawn of War, or in a system covering several planets. The 40K franchise covers the entire galaxy, and its stories and games cover over 10,000 years. SettingĬreative Assembly needs to have two things decided immediately: wherein the timeline and wherein the galaxy. Here I will try to outline why Creative Assembly should create Total War: 40K, and how they could get around some challenges. The units of 40K range from infantry to skyscraper size Titans. While I am not too interested in jumping back into the tabletop game, or maybe it’s not wanting to spend a small fortune, I would love to explore the world of 40K in new ways.
Over the last two years, this has moved more to 40K lore. However, since the release of the Total War: Warhammer trilogy, I have become greatly interested in it, specifically the lore. I played a little when I was younger but haven’t gone back in well over a decade. My own relationship with the world of Warhammer is a bit limited. That said, many fans believe that it would be too difficult for them to try. There is a large amount of lore, factions and characters within the 40K universe for Creative Assembly to work with. Humanity has spread across the galaxy and interacts with various alien factions. Warhammer 40K is set in the 41st millennium. Warhammer 3 was released earlier this year, to similar success, and is expected to be supported for just as long, if not longer than Warhammer 2.ĭue to the heavy critical and financial success that the Warhammer Fantasy games brought both Games Workshop and Creative Assembly, many have wondered if the Total War franchise could take a shot at the Warhammer 40K universe. It was supported for just over a year with DLC and regular updates before the release of Warhammer 2 in September 2017, which was supported up until 2021. The first Warhammer Fantasy game was released in May 2016. While Total War has mainly focused on real-world historical settings, some of the most recent games were set in the fantasy world of Games Workshop’s Warhammer Fantasy.
