After turning cyclical war into a video game with Battlestar Galactica Deadlock, Black Lab Games are now ready for a licensed adaptation of epic war, endless war, only war. Publishers Slitherine today anjnounced Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector, a new turn-based strategy take on Games Workshop s tabletop world of spacefascists. It will pit the Space Marines of the Blood Angels against the Tyranid hive mind, doubtless shouting catchy battle cries like For the Emperor! and Hssskkkklllrrppppblbgrgle!
Battlesector is set after the Devastation Of Baal, when the Tyranid Hive Fleet Leviathan came calling at the Blood Angels homeworld then the newly-resurrected Ultramarines Primarch Roboute Guilliman popped over to give them a kicking. The 20-mission singleplayer campaign focuses on the Blood Angels fighting Tyranids on the moon Baal Secundus, while the xenos will become playable in the multiplayer and Skirmish modes.
