Warhammer Combat Cards Wiki

I think there is some balancing that might need to happen for the combat; sometimes the benefit of foregoing an attack to boost any of the other two stats you use to fight- feels too difficult. This removes some of the strategy “feel” because people just get one big unit and attack more than any “strategies” surfacing. It would be nice to have more missions, and the ability to STASH victory tokens from wars. Additionally I would like to see an in game reference page (or “hover” reveal) about cards and abilities. It took me a while to realize that a red symbol on a card meant that it damaged an enemy’s stats for that symbol or that a green symbol boosted my own. In the same way, having a way to see text about how an upgrade to a card would affect the card would be better than the current flashing green number; said flashing numbers took me a long time to understand. It would also have helped to be able to view commander abilities before deploying them. I would like to see al

Got this app about a week ago because I am a fan of the tabletop game and wanted to give it a shot. As usual I was hesitant to a PvP because they can easily become pay to win. However so far the game seems pretty balance. As someone who will only spend a max of $5 on an app I don’t feel like I’m at a disadvantage in PvP. That said the system to earn new cards is a little frustrating. You have 4 slots where new packs are available but you can only open 1 at a time. Opening a pack consists of waiting the 3 to 8+ hours before you can collect it. So at a point you are left to just put the game down because there’s nothing for you to gain. I feel like this could be helped by making packs immediately open and then having the slot take 3hrs before becoming usable again. That way players can get the immediate satisfaction of their prize instead of begrudgingly waiting for something they’ve “earned”. That or simply allowing multiple packs would be nice. What really made me rate this game highly is their “ticket” help system. There is an in-app help messaging system where you can text in your issues and they respond in a reasonable amount of time. The ease of receiving help is such a nice addition that the developers didn’t have to include but did, and in a way that makes it easy for both parties.

As a fan of the Warhammer 40k universe, this game was already cool before I started playing it a bunch. The gameplay is tactful without being too overly complicated. The card packs within the store can be earned at a reasonable pace without pumping any money into the game, and there are events fairly frequently. There are some lacking pieces though. There isn’t any real way to play with your friends or connect to them in game in any meaningful way yet (hopefully guilds will be introduced soon to solve this dilemma). Another issue I have with the game is the poor amount of customization available to your calling cards and that. I’ve only noticed one opportunity to obtain more unique profile customization, but they are way overpriced, costing about 750 plasma a piece. To put this in perspective, I could use that plasma to buy 2 card packs which would give me a total of 64 cards! That is a lot of plasma to simply waste on a calling card or border for your profile that is seemingly unimportant due to the lack of connection with others and lack of real impact or incentive to collect them. I think it would be better to put them as rewards for doing well in faction specific events. Overall, it is a fun game, but it has some work to do before it can really be a great game.

I am really liking this game. At first I was having a rough time but after I got some good underlings and warlords every battle could be mine considering strat and if I have a good amount of points for cannon fodder and heavy hitters alike. But what really grinds my gears is the freakin wait time for these victory packs to open. I wanna keep going and learning new strats and getting good cards help, but if I gotta wait 8 to 12 hrs to do that come on. At least make your longest wait time like 45 mins to an hour. I mean I’m all for spend some time away from the phone to do life but I gotta plan to open my cards and get one out the way and select another and it’s wait time. And I can do one battle and that’s it. I wanna do more but I don’t wanna test what happens if I don’t have an open slot to claim a chest if I’ve already got em all taken. So shorten the time or allow multiple cards to be opened and you’ve got a winner. I really don’t wanna pay to open, I’d rather pay to get that big card box with 345 cards in it.

Gameplay is fantastic. Simple, easy to figure out, easy to use and learn to use effectively. I enjoy playing this game. I can slaughter heretics, witches and Xenos all day long in the name of the glorious Emperor. Those two stars? The game developers earned them. They did their jobs correctly. I will not however, reward an additional 3 stars until Games Workshop pulls its head from the fourth point of contact and starts making more sound choices. I don’t know who thought that the pay mechanics. were intelligently set up, though I suspect it’s likely the same arrogant buffoons who think charging $60 for 5 BA Assault Terminators and $35 for 5 Death Company as being a wise idea. -3 hours to unlock a basic win reward? 8 hours? 12 even? And you expect me to pay my shekels to buy “plasma” to unlock them sooner? Nope. Not happening. I’ll go play Idle Miner. Your “plasma” units will simply remain input based. -The Kill Packs only unlock after multiple hours of waiting? Nope. Not amused. Not worth my time. -Win rewards can only be unlocked one at a time? Nope. Still not paying for plasma. Not at your extortionist rates. This behavior is why your sales are slumping and you’re not attracting new fans. They’ll go elsewhere, just as those of us who are tired of your idiotic lunacy will find other, more pleasant diversions. You are no longer the only game in town, you need to adjust your business model accordingly.

Overall, I love the dynamics of this game. The battles are fairly balanced most of the time, and most of my factions have reasonable strength. There are the instances of being matched up against someone with clearly superior cards, but it’s not often enough to ruin the experience. The one thing that does ruin the experience for me is the matchmaking. In this game, you don’t actually play against a live player. You play against another player’s deck. So I’m not sure why you are forced to wait for over a minute often, and sometimes longer, just to start a battle. I plan to keep playing for a while. I’m new to Warhammer, but this game is making me want to start collecting miniatures and playing some 40K!

As an avid Warhammer player and a lover of card games I love this game. Although there are some things I would like to see change. First off, rewards. This game gives you a victory box when you win but you dont get xp or coins to upgrade for winning, so it makes it that you have to wait 3 hours to actually obtain the things you need to level you and your cards up. Second, More commanders. I notice that some races like the Space Marines have 4 commanders, while other races like Necrons or Tyranids only have 2, give more variety. Lastly, More cards. This game is great when you start but when you collect all the cards it makes the game dull and makes it more reluctant to keep playing.

This is a great game! I love Hearthstone and I love warhammer 40k, so this is perfect for me. I enjoy all the different characters that they have and I think that they should make more. I think something that would make the game even better than it is right now would to make more factions. Instead of having dark eldar and eldar together they could be be their own factions with their own warlords. Also they could add primarchs as super bodyguards or other warlords. It would also make sense to make the sisters of battle their own faction as well. Overall it’s an extremely fun and addicting game, but there is room for improvement and I’m excited to watch them improve the game.

Been a table top player since 2010 and I really like how you guys used the photos of painted models for the cards. I understand it’s a new game and still developing and am enjoying the campaign as well as looking forward to alliances. Only issue I have now is that it’s very boring in terms of actual game play. We get to play against other people but for what benefit? We get up to 4 packs from winning, all of which takes 3+ hours to fill, and then after the first initial 10 kills for a pack I’m waiting 40k years to do it again. (See what I did there). It’s just kinda annoying to play a quick 4 games to get all the benefits of winning against some other person just to wait 12 hours till I can do it again for any gain. Maybe a campaign or something that will fill that gap of time between those 4 games and the timer resetting,

The biggest problem I have with the game is that it clearly favors T’au over all other races... I don’t even mind the blow out strong ranged characters that are far under costed, their access to high health cheap cost drones that add abilities to effect stats, all are within the T’au lore. My gripe comes with the fact that ALL their commanders heal their overly high health over powered ranged units to full when the last unit comes down. That is not T’au. T’au do not repair, T’au do not have cheap over powered units, they have expensive overpowered units. None of this is balanced in game and is easily and clearly the best faction in he game and I’m sure gameplay data in versus proves this. So for the love of god balance T’au, either double the cost of most of the units, or remove the heal from all the commanders.

You might think I’m complaining too much, that I’m just a bad player and need to get good. But some of the legendary war bosses are insanely overpowered. T’au commander Shadowsun, when deployed, puts a +20 to T’au ranged, giving a normal card 50+ ranged damage... permanently. The Necron Corpse Lord, deals random 15 damage to a card. It’s alright, but 15 seems overkill. 10 maybe? The Avatar of Khaine boost all of friendly cards and had insane melee, a rework should be done. There are some really underpowered cards too. Such as Cannoness Veridyan. Her special ability is terrible! 75% melee damage from one card when another dies. Her damage output doesn’t help either, one of the weakest warbosses in the game. Some major reworks and rebalancing needs to be done.

Once again GW finds a way to overprice anything that has a 40K label to it. This game would be fun if there was a player Vs. player aspect. But there is not. The game pits you against an AI that will have such a significant advantage that it becomes more of a frustrating interaction than enjoyable. Strategy consists of placing cards in your deck that synergies with others, and then watching them be torn to shreds as the significantly higher level cards of the AI fall into the correct sequence each and every time. This is done much the same way carnival games work, you get close to a win but just can’t get it. That is unless you spend real money to purchase more cards, because you need a ton of the same cards to level, but it’s random so... you get the thrill of magic the gathering on top of the thrill of losing your money. But that’s not all! Even getting the cards isn’t the key to victory! You have to have coins to upgrade them which cost...you guessed it more money! And this is the game in a nutshell, up your cards, win a few games, get slaughtered over and over again until you spend money to up your cards once again. Please if you read this, PASS ON THIS GAME!

I got the game because it looked like fun and resembles a game in the App Store I really really enjoyed, Yu-gi-oh BAM. Before I go into what I was hoping for I should say what this was. 40k Warhammer has almost no tutorial: the screen just says words that recommend doing an action but allows you to click whatever you want. This is problematic because you CAN lose the tutorial, all bad. Plus Warhammer tells you what things are after you perform a few actions, like the buff system (resembling green bars that fill up). And nothing on a card is labeled, it only uses colors, location and symbols to convey “everything” you need to know. Also, like the other review I read: Prepare to lose repeatedly because the people you match up against have been playing for a long long time and as a beginner this creates a lack of wanting to play and destroys the learning curve. Strategies of attacking are impossible to understand. I only recommend this game if you know someone who can teach you how to play, but I don’t recommend being the pioneer to go out of your way and endure the pain that is playing 40k Warhammer card game. Yu-gi-oh Bam is a great game with linear attacking 3 against 3, but spells and other things allow manipulation of the battle field and the cards on the field resets at the end of each round allowing for comebacks if you make a mistake.

I’m a huge 40K fan, so I was extremely disappointed in this card game. Not only is the art abysmal — but the cards feature photos of hand-painted miniatures. The gameplay is just as bad. You basically have a starter deck (about 3 cards) that competes in lanes against your opponent. Combat is horribly confusing, consisting of ranged, close combat and psychic attacks. You “sorta” pick a strategy each round and it automatically does combat for you. There are a few buttons, but they don’t work like you think they should. The beginning segments briefly tell you what to click on, but it really doesn’t explain anything (it’s a crappy tutorial). And once you begin to play real opponents, be ready to lose... A LOT. Since it’s all pay-to-win, you’ll soon see how your opponents pay for packs to earn the best cards out there. And the base packs start at $3.99 for random faction cards. I’ve seen it all before and this game provides zero fun, while frustrating you endlessly. You know, unless you put down money with in app purchases. And the matchmaking is horrid. The game put me up against someone who has been playing for a while. Avoid this train wreck.
