The heresy bus never stops, and Battlesector just made room for the Black Legion almost five years after launch.
If you have been itching to swap bio-horrors for pure Chaos spite, this is the cleanest jumping-on point yet. Better still, the release lands alongside broader balance tweaks, so the whole meta gets a little shake, not just your faction roster.
What You Actually Get in the Black Legion Pack
You get a new Black Legion DLC that adds a fresh battlefield, Despoiled Lands, plus 15 playable units built to support a mix of brutal frontline pressure and nasty combined-arms play. The roster covers the classics and the toys: leaders like a Chaos Lord, Chaos Sorcerers, and a Master of Executions, backed by hard hitters like Chaos Terminators, Chosen, Havocs, and Obliterators.
Then you get the engines and transports that make Chaos feel like Chaos: Helbrute, Venomcrawler, Forgefiend, and Chaos Rhinos. Meanwhile, your flexible bodies and threat pieces come in the form of Chaos Legionaries, Raptors, and Chaos Cultists, with a Heldrake rounding things out for command support and airborne menace. In other words, you can build lists that bully objectives, punish clumps, or spike key targets depending on your style.
Why It Should Feel Different on the Table
Battlesector lives on positioning and sequencing, so a new faction is not just “more units,” it is new decision trees. You will be juggling elite anvils, shooty backline threats, and fast movers that can force awkward trades. Also, Despoiled Lands adds a new arena for that chess match, which helps keep the game from feeling solved. If you like your 40k with a bit of theatrical evil, the Black Legion’s presentation leans into that vibe hard, which fits the faction perfectly.
Roadmap Vibes and Final Thoughts
This does not read like a one-and-done content drop either. The devs are still planning more support through 2026, including major free updates, an Ultramarines-focused DLC in spring, a narrative DLC in summer, and another faction DLC later in the year. So, the Black Legion release feels like a proper milestone, not a farewell tour.
