Battlefleet Gothic: Armada, a real time strategy adaptation of Games Workshop's famous tabletop game has now been announced:

 

The game stages the mighty armada of the Imperial Navy's Battlefleet Gothic against the insidious and galaxy threatening Chaos Black Crusade of Abaddon the Despoiler in dark, deadly and intense space battles.

 

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada offers deep management of every ship composing the player's fleet, both during and between battles. From the fastest frigates to the gigantic, miles-long battleships, the player will customize all aspects of his ships: weaponry, defense and support sub-systems, etc. each customization affecting the very performances of the ship and the special abilities available during battle. From battle to battle, the admirals and crew of surviving ships will gain experience and promotions, improving the battle-readiness of the ship for future, bigger and more dangerous battles.

Flamingo is an online Mexican standoff game between two opposing players and their teams of gun toting animal-banditos. The game starts in the standoff where players position and orient their banditos one at a time, in double blind turns. During the standoff players are trying to unravel the impending shootout while identifying strategic linchpins and outsmarting their opponent.

 

After all the banditos have been placed, the shootout ensues and the players watch the consequences of their actions. The objective is to control more gold than your opponent by the end of the shootout. Banditos with fewer guns will shoot earlier. Shooting a bank nets a bandito gold. Shooting a bandito will steal any gold they had.
