World of Warships gets a Warhammer 40,000 crossover next month

One of the best free PC games and best tabletop war games will collide next month - World of Warships is getting a Warhammer 40,000 crossover event. As part of the "first-ever simultaneous collaboration with Games Workshop", the event will see Warhammer 40k's Imperium and Chaos forces head to WoW, bringing a bunch of themed ships, commanders, camouflages, and more along for the ride.

As you can see in the images below, these new vessels' skins have a whole batch of features that bring the respective 40k forces' to the game faithfully, with insignia, statues, mouldings, and colour schemes that, aside from adorning a warship, look like they were pulled straight from Games Workshop's universe. To grab them, there are two options.
