Start up a fresh Greenskin campaign for Big Boss
Games Workshop is closing out May with the fourth annualSkulls for the Skull Throneevent on Steam. If you’re already well-versed in the countlessWarhammerPC games, there are new DLC packs and updates to check out. If you’re thinking of coming in hot, the event is a chance to score some deals.
Most notably, you’re able to pick upTotal War: Warhammer IIfor $20.39, grab theBlack Orc Big Bossin a free update, and save on DLC likeRise of the Tomb Kings($9.49),Curse of the Vampire Coast($9.49), andThe Shadow & The Blade($6.74). It’s not too late to get into this all-consuming strategy game.
Better yet, you could nabTotal War: Warhammerwhile it’s on sale for $14.99 and use the freeMortal Empiresexpansion to bring the two games together under one massive, bloodthirsty roof.
Here’s a stat breakdownfor the Black Orc Big Boss, courtesy of Reddit.
My personal favorite of the bunch, theLeft 4 Deaditch-scratcherWarhammer: Vermintide 2, is down to $7.49 – a worthy price. The horde-slaying co-op game also slashed prices on its three main DLC packs, but I’d just stick toBack to Ubersreik($6.69) unless you’re thinking of going all-in with a bundle.
The skull-gathering event also covers a new game launch – that’d beAeronautica Imperialis: Flight Command, a simultaneous turn-based strategy title – and a very on-brand tie-in withCounter-Strike: Global Offensivethat includes17 collectible stickers. you’re able to rep the Necrons, Tyranids, Orks, Space Marines, and forces of Chaos, assuming you’ve got enough spare change to cover the cost.
I don’t think anyone goes HAM in the gaming space quite like Games Workshop. That almost-anything-goes approach to the IP doesn’t always work out – there are some real duds! – but it’s never stagnant.
