I was happy to stumble upon the teaser and trailer for a Warhammer 40k Space Marines movie in development, called Ultramarines. On the back of my current 40k addiction having completed Daw of War II and the Chaos Rising expansion, along with my reading antics of the book “Legends of the Space Marines“, this find was well timed.
I only hope I can be patient enough to wait for the outcome, along with the Dawn of War II – Retribution expansion.

TEASER
TRAILER
ISOTX the company behind the Iron Grip Universe and the strategy laden first person shooter game known as Iron Grip Warlord has begun Closed Beta testing on their latest project, Iron Grip Marauders. It seems to be a fusion of 3d tactical gameplay with a strategic layer behind it that is primarily played
through your web browser.
Their concept reminds me of the system employed with Dreamlords, where your troop management was executed via a web browser, and then when the actual combat plays out, it runs a dedicated piece of software to play out the 3d RTS game.
From this teaser trailer though, I think the 3d tactical stuff will play out in the browser as well, with possibly a specific plugin installed.
Overall though it looks an interesting concept, especially set within the confines of their steampunk Iron Grip world.
Slitherine have released their BBC Battlefield Academy, a turn based WW2 wargame, with emphasis on lightweight play and scripted scenarios in most of the classic theatres of the War – North Africa, Normandy and the Ardennes.
It also includes an excellent PBEM style multiplayer setup that is based on the successful one in Field of Glory Ancients title.
