Developed under license by our friends at Slitherine, the RuneQuest: Warlords video game uses the acclaimed engine behind Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector and has been enriched with deeper melee combat. RuneQuest: Warlords delivers a fresh tactical experience rooted in the mythic world of Glorantha.<h3>A Legendary Setting Brought to Life</h3>Set within the rich lore of Glorantha, the game faithfully brings to life the landscapes, cultures, and conflicts beloved by tabletop fans. The 18-mission campaign follows Hahlgrim Ironsword of the Bilings Tribe as he gathers allies, battles monstrous foes, and confronts betrayal in a saga of vengeance and survival. In single and multiplayer Skirmishes, players can command any of the three major powers competing for survival and dominance: the Talastar Tribes, hardy Orlanthi defending their homeland; the Chaos Hordes, monstrous foes driven by corruption and destruction; and the Lunar Empire, a disciplined force wielding both sorcery and political might.Every biome, settlement, and creature has been meticulously crafted to reflect the history, mythology, and artistry of Glorantha, bringing it alive. <h3>Deep, Tactical Turn-Based Strategy</h3>Battles unfold on grid-based maps where terrain, lines of sight, and unit placement shape every engagement. The game’s tactical depth is defined by:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Zones of Control that dictate enemy movement; </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hero-specific tactics, having multiple action points for advanced maneuvers such as flanking and spellcasting;</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Runes shape unit abilities, unlocking spells and powers tied to Glorantha’s divine pantheon.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Heroes wield Cult Rune Magic, granting potent abilities that grow over time adding abilities progression and strategic depth.</li> </ul>Magic is not an optional system, it is a defining pillar of tactical mastery.<h4>A Tactical Experience Like No Other</h4>By merging rich lore heritage, deep strategic combat, and the power of Rune Magic, RuneQuest: Warlords stands apart offering an experience where every decision, spell, and maneuver shapes the fate of tribes, empires, and the world itself. <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/2366500/RuneQuest_Warlords/" target="_blank">Enjoy the game with a launch discount of 10% on Steam</a><h4>Let the battle begin!</h4><img src="https://www.chaosium.com/product_images/uploaded_images/screenshot-2025-12-09-at-11.41.24-pm.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />About SlitherineThe Slitherine Group, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, is the world’s leading producer and publisher of digital wargames and strategy games.<a href="http://www.slitherine.com/" target="_blank">www.slitherine.com</a><img src="https://www.chaosium.com/product_images/uploaded_images/chaosium-50th-anniversary-logo-black.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />About ChaosiumChaosium's award-winning roleplaying games, boardgames, and fiction have been acclaimed as some of the most engaging and innovative of all time.
