Warhammer Mark of Chaos
'Warhammer: Mark of Chaos' Available As Digital Download Warhammer: Mark of Chaos is about WAR, focusing on the armies and battles while de-emphasizing the tedious aspects of base and resource management. Epic sense of both scale and detail where big demons and huge beautifully rendered battalions clash with thousands of characters battling on screens in intricate detail. A variety of buildable features and randomized, destructible terrains such as forests, swamps, plains, and tundra change the shape of the battlefield and add a layer of strategy that provides infinite replayability. As armies move from battle to battle in an epic war, Heroes and Champions learn new tactics, unlock new abilities, command larger units, even challenge other Champions in a duel to the death. Warhammer: Mark of Chaos takes customization to a new level by allowing for body part swaps, weapon and armor enhancements, and more powerful controls to paint units and customize banners.

Warhammer: Mark of Chaos Review Warhammer: Mark of Chaos has all the makings of a great game, but bugs, sluggish execution, and some infuriating mission setups keep it from achieving the must-play status that games like Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War accomplished. There are two campaigns you can play in Mark of Chaos: the Human campaign, in which you play as a hero named Stefan von Kessel and the Chaos campaign, in which you play Thorgar the Blooded One. Each follows the plot of the evil Northlanders, who were defeated in the previous game. In Mark of Chaos, if you're the human, your task is to stop the Northlanders from uniting and conquering again. If you're Thorgar, you try to unite the Northlanders and conquer the Southlander humans in the name of the Chaos gods. There's a lot to this game.

Since my visit to Warhammer World in Nottingham, Games Workshops regular HQ, Ive been waiting with great patience for the latest game in the Warhammer series, Warhammer: Mark of Chaos to land on my desk. My initial preview of the game, where I had the chance to take a sneaky peak around the lands of the Empire, promised plenty from Namco Bandais latest real-time strategy title; finally Ive got my hands on the full version. Before we continue, I wont be comparing Warhammer: Mark of Chaos to any of the previous titles, simply due to the fact that I havent played them; so its with a fresh approach and a certain naivety that I immersed myself in the fantasy land of warring armies, mighty heroes and the hordes of Chaos. Taking part in huge-scale battles across detailed landscapes and carrying out puzzle based assignments and objective based missions, I placed myself on the side of the Empire in an attempt to bring peace at this turbulent time in Warhammer lore. Warhammer: Mark of Chaos ( Review ) Before I talk more about Mark of Chaos itself, a brief diversion. It's generally pretty bad form to talk about stuff in the box when, y'know, there's a game to be discussed and everything, but give me just this one. In the collector's edition of Warhammer: Mark of Chaos, as well as the usual soundtrack, hilariously po-faced novel and artbook tchotchke, there's a cardboard Chaos banner and a fragile plastic stand to put on your desk, suspend menacingly over a baby's cot or whatever. There are also three sheets of blank white cardboard on which to, apparently, paint your own banner. Blank. Cardboard. They've even put two holes in the top themselves so you can hang your artwork from the plastic stand. This is, of course, a godsend, if a tragic childhood accident means that the tendon in your hand necessary to operate a holepunch no longer works
