Having said that, this Contemptor is still pretty great, and even comes with some alternate weapon options. I wouldn’t be surprised if they release a different version of a plastic Contemptor with more poseability later on. The Contemptor just seems to have a little stiffness in it which is similar to something from a starter set since you’re going for simplicity. The only models that I think will probably end up being exclusives to this box are the two characters and the Contemptor Dreadnought. You can definitely tell that they have plans to release each of these on their own at a later point as it’s own set. These are not your typical starter set models, these are full, multi-part plastic models, equivalent to any other 40k set out there in detail and extra bits.

Once you crack it open you are greeted by a box brimming with sprues. This allows you to set it in your closet or bookshelf and stack other things on top of it without fear of the box collapsing, destroying the game tiles within. This is due to the fact that it’s a board game you are likely to store, whereas normal 40k and Fantasy (or AoS) starter sets are most likely going to have the box thrown away once you have built the models. The material the box is made out of is a sturdier cardboard, just like they used for Space Hulk, Dreadfleet, and I’m assuming, Execution Force. The box art is great, and if not done by Neil Roberts himself, then they tried their best to make it look like his style. Looking at the packaging the game looks like a cross between Space Hulk and 40k, which isn’t far off. So a big thank you to GW for providing me with this opportunity! Games Workshop was kind enough to send me an advance review copy of the game last week, and from the moment I opened the plain brown shipping box and saw what was inside I’ve been ecstatic about the Heresy. So does Betrayal at Calth live up to our expectations? What do you think of this new title? Excited to experience the Warhammer universe in VR? Let us know in the comments or via one of our social media channels.The greatest civil war in mankind’s history is finally upon us in the form of a new board game. Betrayal at Calth can be viewed on the Steam Store in preparation for its Early Access. You can check out the trailer at this link. I’m looking forward to see the gameplay mechanics in action and to hear more about the VR mode. While the aesthetics of the Warhammer universe are all there, visually, based on the screenshots so far, the title does look a little dated, however these are very Early shots of the game so it would be unfair to judge. The ability to customise your marine will also feature during the Early Access period, however not at launch. Initially Act One will be available to play with Acts 2 through to 5 becoming playable further down the line, much like episodic games.

The game goes up for Early Access next year, with the studio commenting that the cost will be lower than the full retail price once the game is complete. While the initial Early Access won’t include the option to play as various units, they are looking to introduce this feature before the full release. The studio have pointed out that you will be battling it out alongside all of your favourite units, such as Dreadnoughts. Titled ‘Betrayal at Calth’, this turn based action title is coming to PC, and more interestingly VR, making this the first game to give gamers the chance to see battle through the eyes of a marine.īased loosely from the box game of the same name, it’ll be the Ultramarines Vs the Word Bearers.

Steel Wood Studios have lifted the lid on a new title set during The Horus Heresy.
