Warhammer 40,000: Rites of War
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Warhammer 40,000: Rites of War is a turn based strategy game set in the fictional Warhammer 40,000 universe. It was produced by Games Workshop in 1999, and centers around the invasion of a Tyranid Hive fleet and the Imperial efforts to defeat it.
The game has two modes: a "campaign mode" where the player controls the Eldar forces, or "skirmish" mode where the player can play as the Imperium, Eldar or Tyranids. The Imperial forces include the Imperial Guard, Space Marines and Sisters of Battle.
The game itself now obsolete due to the release of the fourth edition of the Warhammer 40,000 rules, which means that the types and specifications of the units in the game are now somewhat out of date; and also due to the release of the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War game and its expansion packs, Winter Assault and Dark Crusade.
