This game needs Orks and Astra Militarum

[Swiftyhorn]

As title, please add Orks and Astra Militarum, I have zero interest in necron, tyranid are ok but generally all look similar to me. Sisters are a huge positive, but blood angels are just meh, why not have multiple chapters instead of doing the same as every other game with a single boring chapter.
At least with Astra militarum we can have them face tyranid and ork and get the real feel of warhammer. Also with orks we can have a "fun" faction.

Orks have been indicated on previous Slitherine post therefore on the way. Hopefully announcements later today will indicate battlesector roadmap for 2023.

Looking at Gladius, published by the same developer, Astra Militarum are present so suspect only a matter of time before released for battlesector.

I'm hoping they will include one of the assassins as a Astra Militarum unit once faction released in the future.

I'd also like to see Orks and Imperial Guard, but everyone has their own favorites. So where you might find Blood Angels "meh", they are one my 2 favorite chapters, so to each their own. The fact of the matter is the wh40k universe is gigantic and it takes time to get all the content out. Gladius started with just 4 factions and now they are releasing their 6th faction post launch (for a total of 10) plus numerous other smaller DLC's to expand each faction. Give it time and Battle Sector will get there too.

Yeah I know, I just wish every game didn't always start with space marines vs single xenos. Always get bored of it very quickly until they finally add more, or until the game dies out and they give up (like Sanctus Reach and Armageddon sadly). Seeing 3 Warhammer games get sisters in a week is insane though, lets hope that one day we get a full Warhammer 40k game that's not Dawn of War 1 from 20 years ago.

I don't think that was by accident. Games Workshop is pushing sisters for some reason. Not apposed to it, in fact I think it's pretty damn awesome, but it was definitely by design. I would argue that Gladius has just as much content if not more so, than Dawn of War 1. To me they are tied for best Warhammer games of all time. Battle Sector may reach that spot too eventually if they manage to put out as much content as those two games.

I would love Astra Militarium as well!

[Swiftyhorn]

I would say they must give them horde style play, so they have more slots than other factions, both the astra militarum and orks. I think they would work well with a horde of infantry and supported by various vehicles. Honestly the game should have modding support, so modders can make the factions more like tabletop or lore friendly, and add new sub factions like dark angels etc. A lot of promise in this game, but I think it needs a helping hand.

They need Chaos, Adeptus Custards and Eldar too. Oh, sorry, Craftworlds, my bad.

Problem is, the tanks. They couldn't put Shadowswords and Baneblades in the game. That would be game breaking. Just as game breaking as if they also included imperial knights.

Titans that take up 10 spaces and fires from across the map lol.

You have to assume they would add Chaos. SoB were only limited added in campaign before and they were next ones, well after Necron, Chaos now most fleshed out. I'm still praying for my commie blue boys.

I hope they split chaos into 5 factions tbh, with undivided as the 5th. This way it would make a lot of fun when playing vs them in random games or demonic incursion. Hope they don't just half arse it and add like 3 demons from each and a few marines.

I'd honestly rather just have them do Chaos Marines. They are the most interesting. There are too many other factions to come first than to make 5 Chaos factions from the start.

[Swiftyhorn]

Was thinking more for the random battles like the new game mode and on the map. I don't think just having a few khorne demons is enough in the long run. So over time, it would be nice if they added others as free content alongside the paid content.

That would be wild if that ended up getting added to the game. I've always wished we could see more Nurgle CSM factions in games just because their models seem to be the most unique. Khorne daemos are still my favorite, the Bloodletter and Thirster models are just too cool.

I think some other people have said, and I think I agree, that we'll get something like World Eaters, so daemons mixed with chaos marines. I hope the vehicles they get are more like the Defiler and Maulerfiend and less Predator Tank/Rhino. I think its pretty cool if they are mixing the daemons in with CSM though.

[Swiftyhorn]

Yeah seen the rumours flying around on reddit last week. Been a while since I seen CSM with demons, I stopped the tabletop in beginning of 6th edition I think, so I played a lot of 5th where there was the joint chaos stuff a lot. Doesn't really get shown a lot nowadays really.

where is blood raven?
