[h2]For The Greater Good: new playable race, the T’au, joins the fray in Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector[/h2]

[h3]Available now on PC, Xbox and on Playstation, the game’s fifth main DLC expands upon the fast-paced turn-based action by introducing the T'au Empire.
Playstation players can already buy the DLC, but it will be playable once the patch is made available.[/h3]

The T’au is the latest faction to step onto the battlefield of Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector. The technologically advanced race has arrived to spread The Greater Good across the galaxy with 14 new units that are playable in the game’s dynamic campaigns, skirmishes, and in multiplayer.

Specialising in long-ranged weaponry, the T’au has a diverse selection of unit types that use their technological prowess to gain the upperhand. Using its high-tech sensors, the XV88 Broadside Battlesuit can pinpoint enemy weak points that can be easily exploited. The XV25 Stealth Battlesuits can blend seamlessly into its surroundings to get the drop on foes and the formidable XV8 Crisis Battlesuit Team has access to a variety of devastating weapons.



Each of these units feature distinctive, finely crafted models and unique special abilities. In addition, players can access brand new HQ abilities that benefit the entire faction. These include Seeker Missile Strike, Manta Strike, and Orbital Ion Beam.



Coinciding with the launch of the T’au DLC is the release of the free new Map Editor. By using an easy-to-use in-game tool, players can create their own custom maps and share them with the world via a cross platform upload system. All player created maps will be available to be used in skirmishes, multiplayer, and in the Planetary Supremacy dynamic campaign. The map editor is out now on PC, while creations are downloadable on all platforms. Discover more about the update here.

Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector, the turn-based strategy game whose singleplayer campaign casts you as 40K's ultimate goth space marines, is adding another DLC faction. Joining the previously added Sisters of Battle, Necrons, Orks, and Daemons of Khorne will be the technogoth universe's resident mech-piloting alien weebs, the T'au...
Read more.

T’au will arrive as a playable faction in Battlesector on February 15th. 

The young and technologically-advanced race is the latest playable faction in Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector. Fourteen new units are available to extend the Greater Good to all the species of the galaxy. 

[h3]Assault Teams[/h3]

Pathfinders scout to prepare the battlefield for the Fire Warrior Strike and the Fire Warrior Breacher Teams. Their sophisticated target-painting technology allows them to hit even the most agile of targets. Those Teams are led into war by the Cadre Fireblade, whose presence amongst their ranks inspires them to fight even harder. 

[h3]Jet-boost Elites[/h3]

The XV8 Crisis Battlesuit Team is an armored elite who is ready to take down anyone who stands in their path, thanks to their wide range of weapons. Nobody is safe from the sneaky assault of the XV25 Stealth Battlesuits, ready to eliminate the targets with the burst cannon or the fusion blaster. These tough and well-armed suits boast jet-assisted speed that allows them to cross the battlefield in bounding leaps.

[h3]A Battlesuits Force[/h3]

Advanced targeting systems in the T’au Battlesuits allow them to continue operating ranged weapons effectively, even when engaged in melee combat. The XV88 Broadside Battlesuit has a high-tech sensor that constantly analyzes enemies on the battlefield, providing the pilot with a myriad of weak spots to exploit.  Enemies don’t have the time to react when the XV95 Ghostkeel Battlesuit approaches them with the Camouflage Field activated.  It’s almost impossible to take the XV104 Riptide Battlesuit down. Its Shield Generator improves its survivability on the battlefield.

[h3]Vehicles made for war[/h3]

The TX4 Piranha is armed with a Piranha Burst Cannon or a Piranha Fusion, while the Hammerhead Gunship is equipped with a Railgun or Ion Cannon.  These Machines of war are often a double-edged sword; powerful when pointed towards your opponent, but dangerous when they themselves are destroyed. Due to the presence of powerful anti-gravitic thrusters and jet engines, this unit is prone to exploding when it has lost all of its health, damaging adjacent units indiscriminately.

[h3]A life to the pursuit of the Greater Good[/h3]

The Ethereal is a member of the fifth caste of the T'au species, forming a ruling elite. The Sense of Stone, giving him a nigh-supernatural resilience, and the Zephyr’s Grace, allowing him to swiftly and silently move across the battlefield, make the Ethereal a resilient and inspiring leader.

Strategic and aggressive, the T’au Commander can pilot a hulking heavily armored Enforcer Battlesuit, or a highly maneuverable Coldstar Battlesuit. Equipped with Burst Cannon (Enforcer) or High-output Burst Cannon (Coldstar) and the T’au Flamer. T’au Commanders are the heroes of the T’au Empire and its most effective leaders. As masters of the strategic arts T’au Commanders direct the forces under their command with great skill, allowing them to inflict maximum damage on the enemy. 

Every unit features distinctive, finely crafted models and unique special abilities. In addition, access brand new HQ abilities that benefit the entire faction: Seeker Missile Strike, Manta Strike and Orbital Ion Beam.

[h3]Dev Diary #12 - Servitors Deployed[/h3]

++ Thought of the Day ++

Those without faith in the Emperor are but an empty vessel, a pointless husk; only through His will can your pitiful existence have meaning.

A lot has happened since the last Dev Diary in March this year. Battlesector was displayed at Warhammer Fest in Manchester, featured in the Warhammer Skulls Festival to highlight the release of the Orks faction pack, and the Chaos Daemons of Khorne were released as a playable faction in late August. Despite that, our duty to the Emperor isn’t complete, so we are here to share some news about a massive upcoming feature that will be available for free to all Battlesector players.

A feature that has been requested frequently, and one that we’ve always wanted to add was support for user-generated content (UGC). Recently, we’ve been working on a new Map Builder, that will allow any player to create and share their own custom maps.

Using an easy-to-use in-game tool, you’ll be able to arrange terrain pieces to construct maps to your own design. You’ll start by configuring the maps’ size and ground type. You’ll also be able to control the map lighting settings, so whether you want to create a fog-shrouded manufactorum or a blazing desert on Baal Secundus, the choice is yours. You’ll also be able to configure which objective types are supported.



Once you’ve made a map, you can share it with the world, via an in-game cross-platform upload system.

Player-created maps - whether it’s one you create yourself or one you download - will be available for use in skirmish mode, multiplayer (Live and Asynchronous), or can be added to the pool of maps used when a new Planetary Supremacy campaign is generated.

Finally, we plan to add the ability to join multiple maps together to create your own campaigns.

There is still some way to go before this feature is ready, so look for an update early next year. We can’t wait to see what creations you come up with.
