Slitherine profite de l’occasion du festival Warhammer Skulls, qui vient de débuter hier et durera a priori jusqu’au 1er juin prochain, pour dévoiler une nouvelle faction allant varier un peu plus les batailles dans le sympathique Warhammer 40000 – Battlesector. Ce sont donc enfin, mieux vaut tard que jamais, les Orks qui font leur arrivée sur Bhaal, portant à cinq le nombre de factions présentes (six si l’on compte les démons de Khorne, qui ne sont toutefois pas jouables).
Un morne et très peu utile trailer accompagne cette annonce assez imprévue, mais montre toutefois pendant à peine trente secondes les nouvelles unités. Heureusement la plupart des joueurs concernés connaissent bien la faction Ork, et savent certainement à quoi s’attendre.
Ce DLC est accompagné par un patch 1.3.54 qui équilibre différentes unités et améliore également les performances du jeu (voir ce changelog).

Warhammer Skulls Festival – Orks DLC & Firepower Pack
Battlesector and Gladius are taking part in the Warhammer Skulls Festival, with releases and major updates for both games, as well as a sale across the whole franchise.
But let’s take a look at it, shall we?
Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector
We are glad to announce that a new DLC for Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector is available from today, introducing a new playable faction: the Orks are coming!
Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector – Orks
The most warlike race in the Galaxy, Orks live for the joy of battle and are always chasing their next big Waaagh! They arrive in Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector with fifteen super-killy units that are all armed to da teef and overflowing with Dakka!
Armed to da Teef
The Bad Moons Ork Clan are notorious for having the fastest growing teef and therefore the most wealth, which also means they have the biggest and snazziest guns. As their clan momentum grows their Dakka gets more accurate and even more killy!
Waaagh!
Ork Boyz feed off the Waaagh energy of the mob, and inspire each other to even greater acts of ferocity. Ork boyz love nothin’ more than getting stuck into a good scrap and a group of Boyz, Nobz and Grots is a big green fungal momentum machine!
Might Iz Right
Every good Waaagh needs a ferocious Warboss at its head. A towering slab of muscle and aggression, the Warboss is only rivalled in size by the Meganobz in their Big Mek built mega armour or the super stompy Deff Dreads.
More Dakka
Orks might not be famed for their accuracy but what they always bring is the most dakka and the Battlesector boyz are no different! Lootas wield heavy-duty Deffguns, that lay down terrifying amounts of dakka whilst the Flash Gitz love to show off their snazzy weapons that are right killy and give the enemy a solid krumpin’.
