EA Phenomic’s upcoming “social” take on Command & Conquer, Tiberium Alliances, hasn’t gathered much good press. Probably because it looks about as enjoyable as punching yourself unconscious. It might be in line for a little more bad press, though, given the similarity between some of its unit designs and those found in tabletop war game Warhammer 40k.

New Warhammer 40,000 Arcade Shooter Doesn’t Seem Very Warhammer-y

When I think Warhammer 40,000 I’m thinking deep strategic battles and hours spent hovering over a table covered with painstakingly painted metal figures; epic wars fought on a grand scale. I definitely don’t think fast-paced cooperative arcade shooter. Someone evidently did, however, and that’s why there’s Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team, coming next month to Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network from THQ.

Team Fortress… Warhammer 40K… two very different beasts, but bring them together and you’ve got… a very different beast.

In The Future There Are Only Incredible Case Mods

At first glance, I thought this was a statue. Maybe, if I was lucky, some constructive Warhammer 40K cosplay. Turns out, no, it’s something even better: a bipedal PC case mod.
