Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector - Tyranid Elites

Two deadly new units join the Tyranid roster in Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector: the nightmarish Broodlord, and the devastating Hive Guard.

Broodlord
The Broodlord is a melee powerhouse, with the capability to disrupt the minds of nearby prey.

Calling upon the might of the Hive Mind, the Broodlord uses its Paroxysm psychic ability to render a unit ineffective in combat, and then leaps upon them with its Monstrous Rending Claws. While the Broodlord lingers on the battlefield, any nearby Genestealers will be able to swarm through the enemy's defenses with the help of the Broodlord's Evolved Brood Telepathy.

Hive Guard
The Hive Guard are hulking armoured ranged units that wield terrifying bio-cannons against their prey.

Hive Guard units have a choice between the Impaler Cannon or the Shockcannon to eradicate their foes. The telepathic shard-beast ammunition of the Impaler Cannons ducks and weaves around obstacles, rendering anything but the heaviest of cover useless. Shockcannons blast apart the armour of mechanised foes, stopping tanks in their tracks and bringing even the mightiest of dreadnoughts to their knees.

With this DLC, the Broodlord and Hive Guard can be added to your single-player skirmish and multiplayer armies.

The Broodlord and the Hive Guard have been added to the Age of Crimson single player story campaign in a free update. Therefore, ownership of the DLC is not required to fight against them in the campaign.

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.
