A turn-based strategy game set in Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 universe, developed by East Sussex studio Razorback Developments and published by THQ Wireless in April 2006. Players choose from four factions — Space Marines, Orks, Eldar, and Chaos Marines — each with distinct units and playstyles, across four interlocking campaigns and a skirmish mode.

Released in North America on 6 April 2006, Glory in Death was one of the last games published for the original N-Gage platform in the region, arriving as Nokia was transitioning its focus to the N-Gage 2.0 digital service. Pocket Gamer awarded it four out of five stars, calling it 'a perfect strategy swan-song for the current N-Gage'. Two-player matches were available via Bluetooth or the N-Gage Arena online service. Razorback Developments, founded in Lewes, East Sussex in March 2004, specialised in handheld licensed games across GBA, DS, and N-Gage; the studio received a Develop Industry Excellence Award nomination for Best Handheld Games Studio in 2006 before ceasing trading in 2012. This was the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop franchise's only appearance on the N-Gage.
