News: THQ brings the strategy favorite to the N-Gage.

THQ and Nokia have announced they are bringing everyone's favorite tabletop strategy game, Warhammer 40,000, to the N-Gage next winter.

Warhammer 40,000: Glory in Death will allow players to control one of four races: Orks, Space Marines, Eldar or Chaos Marines in a long single player campaign and several multiplayer modes. These multiplayer options include two player hotseat (er hotphone) play and two player matches over N-Gage Arena.

Character art will be created by Mike McMahon, an artist for 2000AD's WatchTower and Fat City to give Warhammer that authentic touch.

Gregg Sauter, Director, Games Publishing, Nokia said "Warhammer 40,000 is a well-loved brand by sci-fi action strategy aficionados internationally, with over 100 million miniature characters being sold annually through Games Workshop." Sauter continued, "Developed by Razorback, our version has maintained the original's well designed systems and game play and provides fans with an authentic Warhammer 40,000 experience. Mix in a highly immersive experience where gamers can play anywhere, anytime and the ability for Warhammer 40,000: Glory in Death fans to play against other fans via the N-Gage Arena, and we think gamers are going to be thrilled."

And if you're in Indianapolis for GenCon or Germany for the Leipzig Games Convention, Nokia is offering the first glimpse of Warhammer 40,000: Glory in Death for your viewing pleasure.
