Warhammer Tacticus Reveals New Faction at Skulls

Warhammer 40K Tacticus New Faction Announcement

Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus will feature prominently in this year's Warhammer Skulls showcase, introducing the latest faction to join the mobile strategy game. Will we see new Imperial forces, a fresh Chaos threat, or perhaps some long-awaited attention for the Xenos races?

Expanding the Grimdark Universe

Regardless of personal opinions, Snowprint Studios' Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus stands as the premier mobile adaptation of the Warhammer universe. Even critics must acknowledge its impressive faction diversity - and now that roster is growing even larger with a mysterious new addition!

The announcement comes during the annual Warhammer Skulls gaming showcase on May 22nd, which will also feature significant discounts across Games Workshop digital titles spanning Warhammer 40K, Age of Sigmar, and beyond.

What Could the New Faction Be?

With Tacticus already featuring over a dozen factions, speculation runs wild. Another Imperial subfaction or Chaos variant is possible, but many players hope for underrepresented Xenos races to finally get their due. One particularly intriguing possibility emerges.

If predicting Tacticus' next faction, the Leagues of Votann present a fascinating option. These spacefaring mining clans - genetically engineered "not-dwarves" who recently joined the 40K universe - would make compelling additions. While more established forces like Grey Knights seem likely, the showcase will reveal all.
