Steam News announces that Battlefleet Gothic: Armada is now available, offering a Windows RTS based on the tabletop game from Games Workshop. This announcement has more on the launch and how it will be followed shortly by some space marines:

Your crew is ready at their battle stations, your macro-canons are loaded, and the Adeptus Mechanicus' priests have performed the activation rites of the plasma reactors of your ship. The astropath is now connecting to the Warp.

The Gothic Sector is on the verge of apocalypse, and you will have to fight like never before to save it from the claws of Abaddon the Despoiler and his 12th Black Crusade.

This is it. Battlefleet Gothic: Armada is now available!

We want you to know that this is not the end of a journey, but just its beginning. The proud Space Marines are already on their way to assist the Imperial Navy.

ETA is in one and a half months from now, and we have high hopes they won't get lost in the Warp on the way.

We, at Tindalos Interactive, wish to thank all of the players who participated in the Beta, and provided us with valuable feedback. We would also like to assure you that the studio, with the support of our publisher Focus Home Interactive, will be entirely dedicated to the development and support of Battlefleet Gothic: Armada.

We will work relentlessly on balancing and also to add new content. We will listen to your feedback and your expectations - together, we’ll strive to make Battlefleet Gothic: Armada something truly unique.
