Discover the grim dark universes of Warhammer where there is only war. From Warhammer 40,000 to Warhammer Fantasy and more - discover it all on GOG Warhammer Franchise page.


Gladius Prime was known to Imperial scholars as a planet of archeological interest. During its colonization ancient relics were found, revealing hints of a shrouded past. But it was more than relics. Something awakened, an unspeakable horror from an ancient past, and the citizens of Gladius found themselves trapped in a terrible war for survival.

Gladius Prime was once a planet of peace. Now there is only war.

Warhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of War brings you to a world of terror and violence. Four factions will engage in a brutal war for dominance over the planet’s resources.

In the first 4X turn-based strategy game set in Warhammer 40,000 you will lead one of four factions: Astra Militarum, Space Marines, Orks and Necrons, each with their own unique gameplay, technological tree, units and heroes.

Face a challenging AI or cooperate or compete with friends and strangers across the globe. Play as one of four iconic Warhammer factions (Astra Militarum, Space Marines, Orks or Necrons), each with their own unique playstyle and technology tree. Explore a randomly generated world filled with special features and threatening wildlife that can crush your troop's morale. Secure control of powerful ancient artefacts to grant you an edge against rival factions. Construct cities, buildings and fortifications to expand your empire and produce an army to vanquish your foes. Harvest resources and research new technologies to fuel and upgrade your machinery of war. Progress through a different storyline with each faction as their destiny on Gladius Prime, a world tainted by the warp, unfolds. In the end, when all the dust has settled, only one faction can emerge victorious. Command a wide array of devastating weaponry, issue city edicts and deploy tactical operations. Recruit hero units that possess distinct special abilities and can be equipped with items, ranging from advanced grenades to mighty relics of the past. As they become more and more powerful with each rank, they turn into true champions of your cause.

very mid game

This is kinda Civilization, but just with the war mechanic. Models don't have options for changing weapons. Worth less than 20€

GOG players are second-class citizens

The developers release new versions on GOG with huge lag. Which is really sad for a game which is much more fun in multiplayer. Also new versions does not come with patches - you have to reinstall the game completely. You decide for yourselves, but I regret now that I have paid for much worse support than on Steam. Not a lot to say about the game itself - it is just a really good remake of Civ IV. New mechanics fit, some original are stripped, and the game is really enjoyable. If you liked Civ, you most probably will like this game. And compared to other modern WH40K games, this one doesn't just exploit the title, but it is a good game itself.

Game is great, BUT...

I rly like: -interface, -Warhamm-o-pedia40k, -research, -units ect -everything is right. BUT only 3 stars bcs its PvP game without storyline. Game is Civilization in world of W40k. And i dont have problem it have 100 of DLC he he ehhhh, but bcs its boring. Ive spend countles time playing Civilization games and never regret it but here well something is missing. Rly great potential but without campaing and some movies betven missions its only game mayby for 3 hours. Great potential with all work made with all DLC but without diffent aproach rather not interesting game at all and boring.

badly optimized

game can crash for no reason at all, just all of sudden. But dont worry, you can crash it yourself easlity anytime, just alt tab or lower the game to do something else. open it again and it crashes. requires overpriced dlc to unlock everything. gennerally, not worth it, I got it for free and still regret having it
