Slitherine (Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War, Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach and Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon) and Black Lab Games (Battlestar Galactica Deadlock and Starhammer) are proud to announce the release of the newest turn-based strategy game set in the world-renowned sci-fi setting imagined by Games Workshop: Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector.
The game releases today on PC on the major online stores, the console version (Xbox One and PlayStation 4) will follow soon.



About the game:

Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector is a fast-paced turn-based strategy game set in the grimdark universe of the 41st Millenium. Pick your force, develop your army, field mighty heroes and fight for victory using superior strategy, awesome abilities, and devastating weaponry.

Age of Crimson Dawn
Experience an epic twenty mission single-player campaign that explores the aftermath of the Devastation of Baal. Help Sergeant Carleon and his allies purge the Tyranid infestation on Baal Secundus, and preserve the honour of the noble Blood Angels.

Skirmish Mode
Fight across the surface of Baal on maps of your choosing and select either the Blood Angels or the Tyranids in the Skirmish mode. Completely customize your army list by picking your units, heroes and their loadouts.

Forge Your Armies
Command iconic units like the Sanguinary Priest, the Librarian Dreadnought, and the Hive Tyrant to annihilate your foes. Use over 60 abilities and 50 weapons to orchestrate your opponent’s bloody demise.

Build Momentum
Each faction has a unique Momentum system that can result in a Surged unit. Units that Surge are able to string together superhuman chains of actions, or use the opportunity to further upgrade their abilities.

Call In Air Support
Use Command Points to call in faction-specific air support abilities. The Blood Angels Stormraven can obliterate xenos with a missile barrage, or deep strike a unit of veteran Assault Marines behind enemy lines. Meanwhile, the Tyranid Harpy can devastate the enemy defenses with its Sonic Screech, or scatter the battlefield with its deadly Spore Mines.

Face Your Friends On The Battlefield
With live and asynchronous multiplayer, and hotseat modes available, there’s no excuse not to take your friends to war. Asynchronous multiplayer will be only available on PC.



The release of Battlesector is just the beginning. Those of you who followed the game's development will know that we have plans to expand the game. Warhammer 40,000 is a vast universe, and right now, Battlesector is just scratching the surface. We’ve built a solid foundation and set of gameplay systems for really great battles, but there is a lot of room for expansion. We definitely have plans to extend the game in the coming years, and we hope you’ll join us for the ride.

In order to show you what our plans for the first year of development are, we've just published a roadmap image.

⦁ Improved Tournament scoring and support.

The first Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach Tournament will begin on June 1st, at noon UK time. It is the first tournament we will run with our automated system, so there might be a couple of bugs, but hopefully everything will go smoothly. As a test tournament, this will be limited in scope, and only allow for 16 players, but in the future we will be looking into running larger tournaments.

This massive update is part of a broader event on Steam called Skulls for the Skull Throne, completely focused on games set in the Warhammer universe and other settings created by Games Workshop. There are plenty of awesome games in sale for a few days, and you can check it out here:

We're also celebrating this occasion with the start of pre-orders for the new DLC of Warhammer 40,000: Gladius, called Chaos Space Marines!

You can pre-order it on Steam, so check it out.


Moreover, we are releasing new free content for both Gladius and Sanctus Reach.



A new neutral unit is being added to Warhammer 40,000: Gladius. Heresy has spread among the ranks of the Astra Militarum, and dissent and sedition are rampart. Many deserted, and joined new ragtag bands and cults.

The Chaos Cultists are a new neutral unit all playable factions will have to deal with. Warhammer 40,000: Gladius is the first 4X strategy game set in the dark future of the 41st millenium. Lead one of the playable factions and claim the entire planet for yourself. Only through war you will conquer it!





Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach sees a new addition to the Chaos Daemons roster: the Skulltaker!

He’s Khorne’s immortal champion and the most fierce of its Bloodletters. What better new entry for the Skulls of the Skull Throne event than a Khorne Daemon whose only and entire purpose in its existence is to take the skulls of his enemies? And he excels at it.
