Games Thursday : Warhammmer 40,000 : Dark Heresy Pen & Paper RPG


© Games Workshop

The Disciples of the Dark Gods supplement for the Warhammer 40,000 pen & paper RPG Dark Heresy, has been officially announced as the last product from the Games Workshop subisidary Black Industries which also probably means the end of Black Industries but not the Warhammer Fantasy & Warhammer 40,000 RPG since Fantasy Flight Games is officially the new publisher for these products. Yeah! :)

Dark Heresy is rather interesting as it allowed players the chance to delve deeper into the Imperium and play as Arbitrators, law enforcers of the Imperium (see ilustration of a grim Arbitrator armed with power maul by Andrea Uderzo above) or as part of an Inquistorial retinue as seen in the Shattered Hope, a demo adventure downloadable for free on the Black Industries site.

Preview assorted artwork like the cover for Shattered Hope (above) illustrated by Adrian Smith or check out the imaginative character art by Dave Gallagher – if you ever wished to know how some of the rarely illustrated characters in Warhammer 40,000 like pest controllers, Imperial cultists (below) or Imperial Chiurgeons look like, now you can :)

There’s also previews (above) of the lavishly illustrated and formatted 400 page Core Rulebook but it’s already sold out. Fantasy Flight Games will be reprinting the rulebooks and stuff soon :)

Download the demo adventure (11.4 MB) or view the artwork for Warhammer 40,000 : Dark Heresy.

    Already got a Dark Heresy copy, but -can you believe it?- haven’t even got the time to browse through the thing. Looks fine, really. Oh, and, great post too!

    Lucky guy :) I’m more into the illustrations and artwork stuff in the book since I haven’t really got the time to actually play the RPG. The whole premise looks rather cool to me though :)

    Actually it is quite a bit cool. Seems like a good system too…
