Forbidden Stars, the board game where 2-4 players take control of one of the major armies of Warhammer 40,000 and battle for control of the once-lost Herakon Cluster. Each faction seeks to reclaim lost relics and sites of power that are vital to their survival. Control planets, harvest resources, upgrade your forces and conquer your enemies to ensure victory.

Some might call it an eyesore but I call it beautiful- the retro graphics and 2D sprites offer a glimpse for newer gamers to look through a portal (don’t look too closely, or else the inquisitor will want a word) into the games that spawned the FPS genre.

Battlefleet Gothic centers around the spaceship combat of the universe, which features massive ships, several kilometers long brandishing huge broadsides, fighter craft and torpedoes in an effort to control the Gothic sector.
