W40K: BLACK LEGION Invade Warhammer 40K Battlesector! New Faction Added!

Quick Overview

The Black Legion DLC adds 15 new units to Warhammer 40K: Battlesector, which the players immediately test in a Planetary Supremacy campaign against the Adeptus Sororitas and Imperial Guard, ultimately losing their first battle against the Nekrons on Lieutenant difficulty, leading them to conclude the Nekrons are a "badass" and challenging AI enemy faction.

Key Points: The Black Legion DLC released, introducing a brand new faction with 15 new units to Warhammer 40K: Battlesector. Players initiated a Planetary Supremacy campaign on Lieutenant difficulty, initially selecting to gain 200 additional army points instead of a requisition cooldown reduction. The initial Black Legion deployment featured Legionnaires, cultists, war bands, mobs, and Rhinos, which the player felt were weak initially: "I feel a little weak and underpowered at the beginning before you start to get some of the specialist unit." In their first engagement, the players were immediately taking heavy, long-range fire, resulting in the instant death of a cultist squad, noting that "Nekrons aren't known for their close combat prowess." The players experienced a decisive loss against the Nekrons, with one player exclaiming, "OH WE LOST OUR FIRST BATTLE WITH THE NEW DLC AND THE NEW FACTION AND I LOSE." Players noted the faithful translation of Chaos Forces to the game, pointing out that Forge Fiends are good and Rhinos can be upgraded for charge slamming and self-repair. The speaker acknowledged that the game is five years old yet continues to receive new DLC, praising the ongoing support for the title.

Context: The video features players testing the newly released Black Legion DLC for the game Warhammer 40K: Battlesector, which adds the new faction to the game's roster. The discussion involves lighthearted banter, including correcting the definition of Warhammer 40K as a "tabletop game" with "collectible figurines" rather than "toys." The players immediately jump into a campaign scenario to test the new faction's capabilities against existing armies like the Adeptus Sororitas and Imperial Guard, but end up facing the formidable Necrons.
