Gladius Free to Keep and Orks Bring the WAAAGH! to Battlesector

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war, but thanks to the Games Workshop’s event Warhammer Skulls and strategy publisher Slitherine, war is definitely set to look good! 

New DLC 

The fiendish Orks have made their might iz right appearance in Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector in a brand-new DLC, available now on Steam, PlayStation and Xbox. There is more: not only did Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War receive a new DLC on Steam, the Firepower Pack, but the 4X strategy game is also free to download and keep during Warhammer Skulls - gifting a free monstrous Tyranid unit to all new owners as well! 

Sales 

That’s not everything! All of Slitherine’s Warhammer 40,000 games, including associated DLCs and expansions, will see significant discounts on Steam for the entire duration of the event, with some sales up to 70%. 

Organized by Games Workshop to reveal all the latest on Warhammer video games, Warhammer Skulls runs from May 25th, 9:00 AM PST to June 1st, 9:00 AM PST. 

WAAAGH! 

What’s there not to love (or hate) about the warlike Orks? Celebrating lots of dakka and shoota, Orks take center stage in the namesake DLC for the popular turn-based Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector. Always hunting for the next big waaagh! The Orks have arrived with fifteen super-killy units armed to da teef. 

Fast-paced turn-based strategy dominates in the popular Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector being a brutal, and faithful game of warfare in a grimdark future. Players select their army, build it up, call in heroes, and engage in exhilarating combat across single-player campaigns, skirmishes, and multiplayer battles. 

Lots of Dakka 

Getting into a good scrap is one thing, but the Bad Moons Ork Clans are notorious for growing their teef the fastest. This gives them the biggest wealth double-quick, granting the Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector Ork Boyz the snazziest guns. Led by a mightykunnin’ Warboss - most ferocious - the Ork leader is only rivaled in size by the Meganobz in their Big Mek armor or the super stompy Deff Dreads. The Orks can lay down terrifying amounts of firepower with their heavy-duty Deffgunns, while Flash Gitz love to show off their jumbo killy weapons, giving the enemy a solid krumpin’. 

Free to keep on Steam

Warhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of War is the acclaimed 4X turn-based strategy from creators Proxy Studios and publisher Slitherine. Released in 2018, it pits multiple factions against each other as they vie for dominance on the relic-strewn Gladius Prime. Now is the best moment to step into a new strategic vision of Warhammer 40,000 grimdark future. With Warhammer Skulls, the game is free for a limited-time offer. Download it once, keep it forever! 

And with this offer, a free Tyranid unit, the monstrous Tyrannocyte, will be gifted for free to all new game owners. This horrifying, Tier-2 alien creature transports units to the frontline and supports them by pinning down enemy units. 

New Units galore 

Players can round out their experience with the new Firepower Pack DLC, giving prospective commanders a host of new units. 

Get ready to play with the heavily armored Rogal Dorn Battle Tank of the Astra Militarum or the Space Marines’ Whirlwind artillery fire support vehicle. All factions see a unique new unit appear in their arsenal, amongst others, the Deathmark sniper for the Necrons, Deff Dread assault walkers for the Orks, Eldar Dark Reaper, and Imagifier for the Sisters Of Battle. The Firepower Pack is the latest in a line of successful DLC for Warhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of War, each brimming with new content, units, features, or even entire new factions.
