From IGN:
"THQ and Games Workshop have revealed that popular table-top sci-fi game Warhammer 40,000 is set to be turned into a turn-based strategy title for Nintendo DS, complete with online play.
Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command sees you jumping into the metallic boots of an elite Space Marine to stamp out the evil and daemonic forces of the Chaos Space Marines through 13 different missions. The single-player takes place on fully destructible, real-time 3D battlefields which means that no two battles are the same, according to THQ.
Alongside the single-player is an online multiplayer with nine unique missions and you can choose if you want to play as the heroic Space Marines or the wicked Chaos Space Marines. You then get to team up with others in head-to-head matches with up to eight players over small, medium or large maps.
Fans of Warhammer 40,000 are likely to be delighted to hear that Squad Command features more than 20 ranged and close combat weapons taken directly from the sci-fi universe of Warhammer, including the Bolter, Plasma Gun, Chainsword and Power Fist.
Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command is currently only slated for 2007."
Not really into Warhammer 40,000 but it does sound like a follow up to the excellent N-Gage version that appeared a while back. Being on a better handheld plus touch screen commands and online, this could be even better and an excellent addition to the strategy genre on the DS. Its also heading to the PSP as well.
