The march towards total Warhammer glory comes to an end, ace Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge finally leaving early access. Over the past year, this promising card game has welcomed a multitude of players who continue to develop it, making various improvements along the way. To celebrate the game’s release on iPhone and Android devices on October 3, 2024, developer Everguild is revealing information about a brand modern faction.
According to a modern developer diary on the Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge blog, Everguild confirms that Astra Militarum is the next faction to join the free-to-play mobile game. “Untold billions of Astra Militarum soldiers are stationed across the galaxy, prepared to lay siege to the enemies of the Empire with an iron parade of tanks and ranks of massed infantry,” explains the creator. Astra Militarum will be available immediately on the launch date of Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge.
More details about the factions are expected to be revealed post-launch, including details on warlords, stratagems, and Astra Militarum soldiers. However, we know that Everguild offers various pre-release packages to support you get on your way to victory. These packs are available in the Warpforge Workshop, and the Commander Pack offers the best bang for your buck:
- Astra Militarum premium campaign
- 30 Astra Militarum booster packs
- Exclusive “Regimental Colors” card back.
- Exclusive “Flamer Trooper” avatar.
- Exclusive title “Valiant Guardsman”.
If you feel like saving some cash, you can also opt for the starter pack, although both of these are “five bonus packs over the equivalent in-game offerings after the release of Astra Militarum.” You must ensure that your game account is linked to your Workshop email address as purchases will be sent to your inbox. As for pre-release packs, the developer says that “the ‘Receive’ button in your inbox will be disabled until new content is added to the game.”
In addition to this modern faction, there’s a suite of quality-of-life improvements, such as the ability to practice battle strategy against your own deck of cards. If you’re looking for a slightly different challenge, you can also utilize a set of ready-made decks. “This latest new feature is perfect for deck builders, allowing them to practice specific matchups and refine their deck for the ranked ladder,” explains Everguild.
But what would celebration be without gifts? Like any memorable occasion, you’ll be able to stop by and pick up some freebies when the game launches. According to Everguild, you can expect a “very special promo code, new Twitch Drops campaign, and special offers” to spice up the festivities on iOS and Android devices.
