Tacticus

@tacticusgame.bsky.social

This is the official BlueSky channel for Tacticus, the mobile Warhammer 40000 strategy game. Looking to follow painters, gamers, and tabletoppers. Ratatosk from the official Discord is running this circus, so look for shenanigans...

Now available on all platforms! (Apple players, you need to go to the app's page in the store in order to see the "update" button. On your app list, the button may only say "open.") Check the notes out in game. Welcome, Salamander players!

Our newest character, the Salamander Nubari, stares menacingly at you, but not nearly as menacingly as Kimm the Votann.

Congratulations to the Ork players! We hope you had a great time being part of the celebration in game and out -- we learned a lot from our first ever super global event, and we hope you enjoyed the experience (and the loot). Enter WAAAGHWEEK3 for your share!

Another handsome ork. I mean, he's rocking the ripped abs and everything.

WEEK2WAAAGH is live to celebrate another Orkish win in Armageddon Week 2! Three Kustom Gubbinz, an Ork req scroll...and a tourniquet in case anyone needs to stop the bleeding in order to finish the final week ;) To battle, Tacticians!

Another happy little greenskin celebrating another week of crushing Blood Angel butt.

The winning faction for Week One of Armageddon was...Orks! That means you've collectively unlocked a Ded Shiny Slugga. Just use the code WEEK1WAAAGH...and resume fighting for Week Two. Can the Blood Angels get back into the battle?

Gibbascrapz is so handsome as he shouts "WE DID IT BOYS" -- but I wonder what his breath smells like.

Are you ready for Armageddon? Games Workshop is celebrating #new40K with a three week real life (points) battle between the Blood Angels and the Orks, and we've got our own global quest. Look at the in-game news for this image, and check out all the details!

Goddamn, this is one sexy image showing a fight between Dante and Gibbascrapz (a Big Mek Ork). Our concept artist is so good, y'all. Anyway, the text says Armageddon.

Our players on Discord were united in their desire to mark the passing of a legendary artist, JOHNBLANCHE. Some people have the talent to make our collective dreams into shared realities, and we honor one of them today.

It's just a necron guy, I can't use non-approved art in these banners so you'll have to Google John Blanche.

Another Q&A is live in game (and crossposted to Discord)! This week talks about mysterious updates, new relic status, why your community people fear roadmaps but love walls of text, future faction, and normal attacks. What's "normal," anyway?

A banner with the word EXPLAINER on it, and featuring the handsome faces of Boss Gulgorz, Nicodemus, and Typhus. An attempt was made at putting them in scale with each other.

Calling all Alien franchise fans and Tyranid players! Let's celebrate #alienday together. Enter ALIENDAY2026 to get yourself 10 ammo and 10 Biovore shards. Then head to our Discord and the Alien Day 2026 channel for the contests!

Look at that handsome Tyranid Biovore getting ready to celebrate Alien Day!

If you click the chevron of the Survival level, it tells you all the exact enemies that are left from that specific level by highlighting them with neon red circles. For more explanations and insights, be sure to check the Explainer now in the Hobby Hub.

It just says THE EXPLAINER on it. I don't always feel fancy.

The full notes are live in game for your reading pleasure! This update brings new characters, new filtering options, a Thutmose glowup, and more! Don't forgot to check out our Discord for all the discussion of the implications, along with fun extras and giveaways.

The Votann berserker and the incredibly handsome shrimp boi illustrate the new update day banner.

The results of the 12th Annual Pocket Gamer Awards are in, and we are so grateful and proud right now, because you voted in a triple victory! Watch the official Discord for the celebrations to come next week, and start by redeeming this thank-you present: PGATRIPLE

Our players voted for Tacticus as Best Updated Game, Best Game We're Still Playing, and for themselves as the Best Community and Ratatosk is a big weepy mess right now, we love you so much omg

1.36 is flying straight to your phone, so keep checking your platform until you see it! Leagues of Votann, Ravenwing Strike Craft MOW, relic improvements, mode shops refreshed, and a new Mythic Knife among tons of stuff keeping Tacticus fresh.

The Ravenwing Strike Craft looking sweet, but I've got concerns about the pilot's obvious blind spot right in front of him....look out! It's flying right for us!
