Skulls for the Skull Throne 3 + 1.2.4 - Augment Update

Skulls for the Skull Throne is back and Mechanicus is proud to be taking part with a massive 35% discount on both the special Omnissiah Edition as well as the standard base game.

The festival of Warhammer Gaming continues over the weekend and along with the savings, players can also take advantage of the brand new, and totally free, update to the game.

Augment Update = LIVE

After three weeks of public beta testing the Augment Update is now live!
Over those weeks we’ve been able to tweak the numbers to get the experience just right. With the help of the community (thanks guys you’re the best!) we’ve also been able to iron out the experience.

How much is the Augment Update?

Free! The whole thing is free of charge!

What’s in the Augment Update

Lets just rehash what we said three weeks ago.
There's a lot! Here's a really brief summary;

• IronMan Mode
• Permadeath
• Difficulty settings
• A huge array of Customisation option for those difficulty settings
• Exploration has been polished
• Tons of polish to UI elements, enough to make a servo-skull weep sacred oils
• Fonts are cleaner
• Balance changes for a couple of things
• Turkish localisation added!

But I want to play Mechanicus Classic

We understand that some people don’t like change. That’s understandable, certainly from my personal point of view, us brits can be traditional! Rambling aside, you can still access Mechanicus Classic through the steam beta branch titled mechanicus-classic – 1.1.4 – pre-Augment Update. You can find out how to do this here
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1571440010
The mechanicus-classic branch will stay as 1.1.4 forever. This is to avoid any issues should saved games not be backwards compatible for whatever reason, or you’re a huge fan of vanilla.

Heretek Expansion is available for wishlisting!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1049290/Warhammer_40000_Mechanicus__Heretek/

Heretek is the expansion to the critically acclaimed tactical turn-based Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus. Opening a whole new plot line, Heretek exposes the dark underbelly of the Adeptus Mechanicus faction like never before. Brand new narrative events have been handcrafted once again by Ben Counter, allowing players to uncover what has brought civil unrest to The Caestus Metalican during its campaign at Silva Tenebris. Take on frighteningly familiar foes, a cohort of heretek Tech-Priests that have changed their beliefs and forsaken the name of the Omnissiah. Can you, Magos Dominus Faustinius manage both an assault on the Necrons while being corrupted from within?

Features

• New Discipline to utilise: Unlock the Xenarite. A discipline that is specialised in using xenotech, a largely forbidden practice for those that follow the Omnissiah! Plus all new augments for you to customise the appearance of your Tech-Priest.
• 5 new missions: Experience five new missions based in the Ark Mechanicus, each with a new delivery system for narrative. The choices you make will impact the battle for that mission.
• New weapons to discover: Xeno-altered weapons open up devastating possibilities, coupled with support tech that opens up new play styles.
• Two new Troops to command: Sicarian Infiltrators and Ruststalkers are now available to unlock. Pass through Necron and Heretek limbs alike with the Transonic Blades of the Ruststalker or take the stealthy route with the Infiltrators and spring an unexpected ambush.
• New but familiar enemies to face: Face your fellow brother Tech-Priests in an internal conflict over Necron xenotech while also holding back the wakening of the Necrons.
• New mission environment: Experience combat inside an Ark Mechanicus for the first time in Warhammer 40,000 history.
