Cleanse the dirt heresy!
My experience with Warhams isn’t flat zero - I had some minifigs when I was a teenager and played a few of the Dawn Of War video games - but I haven’t actively checked in on it for a while. I know enough to make “[x] for the [x] throne!” jokes, basically. My experience with cleaning-stuff-simPowerWash Simulatoris extensive, though, and I was excited when the crossover with Warhammer 40Kwas teased a while back. Last night we got a full trailer and release date of Frebruary 27th - next week! - and I’m now earnestlyveryexcited. The trailer is both very funny and shows off massive things to clean. Win win, innit.
The trailer really knocks it out of the park, with a growly and played-straight voiceover extolling the majesty of cleaning big war machines for the Imperium (“Imperial engines adorned with filth, a testament to their glory!"). The drop ships and mechs, normally rendered as tiny little models as you survey the whole battlefield, do have an extra sort of wow factor when you look at them a as a PowerWash Sim level and, as a seasoned washer, mentally tot up how long it would take to clean it, and what the best approach would be.
The team at FuturLab have a proven track record in doing crossovers very well.The Tomb Raider packhad both great things to clean and good Tomb Raidery jokes,the Final Fantasy onemade me care about and kind of understand a huge game I have no relationship with, the Spongebob packjust, like, rocked, and I only recently finishedthe Back To The Future DLC pack, which was extremely cute and had an interesting framing. Long may it continue. Look out for the Warhammer 40K DLC pack on the 27th of February.
