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.

WH40k - Gladius

It's decent, plays like an classic turn-based strategy game. Purchased it for the Necrons since they're fairly rare as a playable faction in 40K games. A campaign lasted me about seven and a half hours but I dont think I'll replay this.

My go-to Warhammer 40K game

This game is like a dream come true. While Dawn of War was amazing, I prefer 4X games and playing hotseat with my kids. This game delivers with a good active community and modding scene. If there are things you do not like about the game, like lack of unit voices, there is a mod for it. Please put Death Guard in.

Low effort

Its worth a try if you're into turn based strategy games but this one is too simplistic. It just seems like they tried to make a civilization game in warhammer 40k universe and stopped half way through. No voice acting also makes the game feel like it doesnt have any soul. if you compare this with a civilization game: no diplomacy no workers to build improvements outside cities no unit sounds except for some combat sound effects very basic economy very basic units very basic research tree AI doesnt seem to have any strategy either other than just sending units to run around and fight you if you approach them
