Warhammer and the science fiction universe of Warhammer 40,000 been so richly
represented in the interactive space. All three of our interactive partners

are also cutting edge examples of their genre. We are confident that Games
Workshop fans and computer game fans alike will be blown away by what they see
on display!"
About Warhammer: Mark of Chaos
Warhammer: Mark of Chaos is an RTS from NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc.
Faithful to the Warhammer world, Warhammer: Mark of Chaos puts the focus
squarely on the battlefield with a real-time combat system that gives the
player unprecedented customization and control of his army. This RTS focuses
on armies and battling while de-emphasizing base and resource management.
Players will also have the opportunity to use environments to their advantage,
command Heroes and Champions with their own abilities and choose from a
variety of modes for both casual and competitive play. Players take to the
battlefield in Fall 2006.
Warhammer: Mark of Chaos can be seen at Booth #824 in the South Hall. For

expansion pack in the Dawn of War RTS franchise. The game will feature two new
playable races, the Tau Empire and the Necrons, bringing the number of totally
unique races to an unprecedented seven. The game is expected to release in
fall 2006.
In addition to the two new playable races, Dark Crusade will feature an
all-new single player campaign centering on the conquest of a "meta-map", with
each territory captured giving tangible rewards to the occupying force. A
greatly expanded multiplayer component and a completely unique economy model
for the Necrons will present gamers with the most compelling Dawn of War game
to-date.
