WARHAMMER 40,000: RITES OF WAR (1999)
Some more Screenshots from "WH40k: Rites of War", a turn-based hexfield strategy game in the vein of Panzer General from the late 1990s. I played it a few years ago and had a blast, particularly since the main faction of the campaign are Craftworld Eldar and not again the Imperium
Warhammer 40k Rites of War

Warhammer 40k Rites of War is a really nice and fun turn based strategy game, the gog version works completely fine on modern computers. I also want to test in the future how well it works on Linux. As the cover suggests, the main faction for the story campaign are the Craftworld Eldar, so it's not an Imperium centric game! The story is solid, but nothing too special, particularlly so many years after release a WH40k fan will probably quickly see where all of this is going. Nonetheless, it worked well and was a good execution!
This is the first post of this kind I did on this blog, if anyone has feedback for information I should include but forgot, or if you think I should chanage the formatting, or the order of the listed points above, please tell me!
A Power Axe wielding Howling Banshee Exarch is something I definitely needed <.<
I also liked the change between early in the campaign (pre-Tyranid invasion) an late campaign (during Tyranid invasion)
"Rites of War" was a fun game too (focused on Craftworlders as protags!), but really, the contrast between the manual:
and the actual game:
is a bit funny
