This is not a drill. World of Tanks and Warhammer 40,000 are grinding their tank tracks together in the most awesome way possible!

Everyone loves a well executed collaboration. They are great for both contributors and a fantastic way to bring fans of both into the same space and learn something about the other. And sometimes there are explosions involved – kind of like what will happen when you add in some iconic tanks from the Warhammer 40k universe in with Tanks from the World of Tanks game….

Both World of Tanks Blitz and Warhammer 40,000 are about fierce battles. Residents of these universes are tough, strong-willed, and brutal. Their only goal is victory, and there is only one way to achieve it—to destroy enemy forces. There is no place for weakness, no quarter is asked and none is given, and armored vehicles are extremely valued here.

For the Emperor! In Blitz!

The collaboration of these warlike universes was just a matter of time, and now the time has come!

«For over 30 years, Warhammer 40,000 has grown into one of the world’s best known science fantasy universes, featuring a huge variety of devastating war machines. The opportunity to combine 40,000 with the amazing game that Wargaming has created opens up a world of exciting possibilities for fans of both,” said Jon Gillard, Head of Licensing at Games Workshop. “We can’t wait for all of them to join us behind the controls of the exclusive content that we’ve prepared together».

Warhammer 40k began as a tabletop miniature wargame produced by Games Workshop, set in a dystopian science fantasy universe. Over the years, the universe has expanded to video games, novels, comics and more, garnering a huge following around the globe.

«World of Tanks Blitz has brought lots of stunning collaborations in the past,” said Andrey Ryabovol, World of Tanks Blitz Publishing Product Director at Wargaming. “Warhammer 40,000 has such a rich universe, which opens up new ways to bring each of our worlds together. World of Tanks Bltiz is a game that revels in the fact it can create a place where real and alternative histories clash on the battlefield to delight its community. We’re really excited to unveil what we have in store, so our players can look forward to some exciting news soon».

World of Tanks Blitz will soon be visited by monstrous and unforgettable inhabitants of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, and the rage of battles will heat up!

This. Is. Awesome.

We’ve got no idea how this is even going to work or what tanks are going to be brought over from Warhammer 40k. But this sounds like an awesome way to mix in some Grim-Dark Chocolate in some World War II era peanut butter! I’m genuinely excited about this simply because the idea of a Land Raider fighting with or along side a Sherman/T-34/Tiger sounds amazing. We’ll be keeping an eye on this one to see how it develops later on.
