{{GamesPortal}}'''Battle for Armageddon''' was a strategic boardgame released by [[Games Workshop]] in 1992. Unlike the many miniatures-based games produced by GW, '''Armageddon''' was a more traditional counter and board game. It was one of four in GW's "[[Wargames Series]]", including [[Horus Heresy (Game)]] and [[Doom of the Eldar (Game)]], which used the same or similar principles.
