Changes since 1.12.0
New
Added Prefer Relayed Data network setting (off by default): Instead of connecting directly to the host, relay all data through a relay server if one is available. This will increase the network latency. When turned off, data is still relayed if the initial direct connection fails (as before this setting existed). Only use if you are experiencing connection issues and cannot resolve them otherwise.

Moved Kataphron Breachers from research tier 7 to 5, reduced group size from 3 to 2, and reduced cost from 80 to 60.

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: Gladius
Free-to-keep week
Gladius is going to be free-to-keep on Steam for the duration of the festival!
It is the perfect occasion to try Gladius if you haven't: it is the ultimate 4X strategy game set in the grimdark universe of Warhammer 40,000.
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’.
Warhammer Skulls is the celebration of all digital games about Warhammer.
There are loads of amazing discounts and new announcements from other studios, too. So we hope that you will check them out here.

The Sisters of Battle are here on Battlesector and Gladius
We are glad to announce that two new DLCs are available from today for both Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector and Warhammer 40,000: Gladius, each introducing a new playable faction: the Adepta Sororitas, also known as the Sisters of Battle.
Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector - Sisters of Battle
A long-standing order with a rich history, the Adepta Sororitas have always lived in service of the Emperor. Their unrelenting faith and rigorous training provides them with a mental fortitude rare among those that serve the Imperium. This divine protection, perhaps from the very spirit of the Emperor himself, makes every sister an incorruptible fortress that turns aside the profane, the blasphemous, the heretic. 15 units of the Order stand ready to turn back the unworthy on Baal.
The release of the Sisters of Battle DLC will also include a new single-player mode: Daemonic Incursion.
Daemonic Incursion Daemonic Incursion is an entirely new single-player mode that will be available to all Battlesector players as part of a free update that we’ll be launching alongside the Sisters of Battle Faction Pack. In Daemonic Incursion, waves of Khornate daemons enter realspace to spill blood, collect skulls and overrun your forces. This is a last-stand mode, in which your objective is simple: Survive!
Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector - Sisters of Battle Tournament
We are really excited to announce our first competitive tournament of Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector. The sign-ups for the tournament opens today, so do not miss the chance to sign-up and join the fun.
Players will be able to take part in it and get the chance to win some amazing physical goodies with a Sisters of Battle theme. Stay tuned for the official reveal of the amazing prizes you can win.
The Sisters of Battle tournament will begin in February 2023, but you can sign-up now.
Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Adepta Sororitas DLC
Just like Battlesector, Warhammer 40,000: Gladius expands with the Sisters of Battle as a new playable faction.
A new faction joins the war for Gladius Prime: the Adepta Sororitas, with eighteen new units, new heroes, unique gameplay mechanics, city buildings, a new questline and a new tech tree.
The Adepta Sororitas, also known as the Sisters of Battle, are the militant arm of the Adeptus Ministorum. Pure of heart and fanatical of devotion, they place the worship of the Emperor above all other concerns. They maintain holy places anywhere where His subjects might be served, tending to the needs of the poor and the sick as well as spreading the word of His glory to all that might listen. But not all are worthy, and for those that aren’t - only merciful death can be granted.
The Sisters of Battle march to war! Battlesector & Gladius get a new faction
The new Sisters of Battle DLCs for both Warhammer 40,000 Gladius and Warhammer 40,000 Battlesector will be released on December 13th, the same day of Slitherine Live show, Slitherine Next.

Both are going to add in a new playable faction: the Sisters of Battle, the first women-only faction in Warhammer 40,000, will join the game with fifteen new units and special gameplay mechanics.
A long-standing order with a rich history, the Adepta Sororitas have always lived in service of the Emperor. Their unrelenting faith and rigorous training provides them with a mental fortitude rare among those that serve the Imperium.
