• Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus takes center stage in this year's Warhammer Skulls event
• The showcase will unveil a fresh faction joining Tacticus' expansive universe
• Will reinforcements come for the Imperium, Chaos, or could this be the Xenos' moment?

Whether you're a fan or critic, Snowprint Studios' Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus remains the gold standard for mobile Warhammer experiences. Even skeptics must acknowledge its impressive faction diversity - soon to grow even larger with a thrilling new addition!

The mystery faction remains under wraps until May 22nd, when Warhammer Skulls reveals all. The annual gaming showcase will also feature massive discounts across grimdark titles spanning the 41st millennium, Old World, and more.

With Tacticus already boasting fourteen factions, speculation runs wild. Another Imperium or Chaos subfaction seems plausible, but underserved xenos factions deserve attention – and I've got a compelling theory.

If I were placing bets, the newly introduced Leagues of Votann would be my top pick. These clone-forged space miners – definitely not dwarves – became Warhammer 40k's most unexpected faction debut.

A Tacticus appearance would propel these beer-loving deep-rockers into the spotlight. Though realistically, we might just see Grey Knights or Inquisitorial forces. Catch all the reveals during Warhammer Skulls at 9am PST/12pm EST/5pm BST/6pm CEST on Twitch!
