Choose a mighty, futuristic faction and prepare to become a strategic mastermind. Supremacy games are a perfect fit for the perpetual conflict of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, and though they may offer a much slower pace than players are used to, it’s more than worth the extra time.

What we love: Supremacy: Warhammer 40,000 offers the perfect balance of technical depth and fun atmosphere. You are part of a huge planetary war, struggling for territory with dozens of other armies at once. Deploying troops and building structures can take hours, so you really need to think strategically and plan many steps ahead.

Quick tip: There’s plenty of room for diplomacy here. Supremacy’s long timeline means you can make dastardly deals, form alliances and betray your allies if necessary.
