Mark of Chaos demo

Warhammer: Mark of Chaos - Black Hole Entertainment's real-time strategy follow-up to Armies of Exigo - is now available to sample.

Providing you've got a strong constitution (and a hard disk with a patio extension) you can grab the 1144MB demo off the Internet now, and get stuck into its three tutorials and one single-player mission.

The full game, published by Namco, will see players take control of Empire, Chaos, Skaven and High Elf armies (and dabble with Orcs, Dwarves, Vampires and Goblins), in a game that aims to do a bit different to the base-building/resource-gathering RTSes of the past.

And in case you're confused, yes we know there's already a Warhammer RTS out there - the rather excellent Dawn of War - but Black Hole's title concerns the more earthbound, classic Warhammer rather than its science-fictionalised sister title.

The full game's due out on 24th November, so watch out for a review closer to release.
