The only guaranteed way to defeat a piece is to capture it as a Chess move. Pieces can and do miss with melee attacks that have a 90% chance to hit. Grenades are even worse during the early parts of the campaign. Using pawns to shoot usually shows a 65% chance to hit from a distance, but it often seems to be less than that. However, it's not uncommon to think that you have your opponent backed against the ropes as you tear into them with a Queen or Knight, only to have the tables turned when nearby pieces all aim their guns toward it.Įach special attack has an accuracy rating, which can be fantastic when the odds work out in your favor, and infuriating when they don't. Fortunately, players are only allowed a certain number of special moves, and more powerful moves cost extra points. Your piece might be safe from being taken by traditional chess rules, but that won't stop adjacent pieces from unleashing devastating attacks, or those standing two tiles away from shooting at you. With Regicide, players have to completely rethink their strategy, because there aren't necessarily any "safe" areas to rest on. There's the movement phase, which plays out like Chess, followed by an Initiative phase, where players unleash a variety of special moves against opponents. Things get complicated when you step up to Regicide mode, which has two phases for every turn. The game has two modes: Classic, which is straightforward Battle Chess using Warhammer 40K characters. That might sound fantastic on its face, but can be a bit strange when in practice. This game combines the cerebral strategy of Chess with the sheer brutality of Bolters and Chainswords. Take Battle Chess and add in a little tactical combat with a Warhammer 40K flair, and you have Warhammer 40,000: Regicide.
