Introduction

Released as a boxed game in 2017 and consisting of two factions (Ork Boyz and Space Marine Scouts), terrain, tokens and a rulebook; Shadow War: Armageddon — or SWA — was based on Necromunda and Warhammer 40K 2nd Edition. The original boxed game included rules for the two included factions, with rules for additional factions being released on Warhammer-Community.com as PDF downloads.

A 200-page rulebook for the game, combining all the rules from the boxed version with the rules for the dozen other factions you can play with, was subsequently released in softback and digital formats on 22nd of April 2017.

As an extra bonus, rules to play with kill teams from the Inquisition and Adepta Sororitas, which were included in the combined rulebook were also made available as free PDF downloads. Similarly, a set of FAQ/Errata, multiplayer battles and rules for one man armies were also published, along with templates for tokens and rosters.

As a precursor to Kill Team, SWA is a full fledged skirmish game based on 2nd Edition, with significant poential for additional development. It garnered community interest, along with community published missions, unit stats and expansions.
