Warhammer 40,000: Battle Sector!

Nice! I didn't even think about how it does look like Epic. I played a crap load of Epic and miss stomping troops with my Eldar Titans. I would totally dig a digital version of Epic any day!

There is a game specifically about 40K Titans somewhere on Steam, that I've never gotten around to yet. (Also one about 40K airpower.)

Adeptus Titanicus: Dominus - Have it but never played. Supposedly pretty good. https://store.steampowered.com/app/853140/Adeptus_Titanicus_Dominus/

Aeromautica Imperialis: Flight Command - Have it, played it, was underwhelmed. In all fairness, the aerial combat in the 40K universe has never appealed to me. The aircraft look way too clunky to stay aloft and the mechanics are too simple. ITs like WWI or WWII air combat in the 41st millennium? I don't think so. https://store.steampowered.com/app/610160/Aeronautica_Imperialis_Flight_Command/

To be fair, a lot of Orks Innnn Spaaaaace can be described as "this clunky technology in the 41st millennium??"

The in-universe explanation is that no one understands how the tech works anymore and so they just use older tech in primitive ways. That explanation can't go much farther than the Imperium and the Chaos Marines, however. (I suppose it works for the orks, too, come to think of it.)

The real explanation is medieval fantasy tropes + science fiction = Rule of Cool.

Nah. That’s the explanation for things like Titans, certain kinds of cogitators, warp technologies, world builders, etc. It doesn’t explain why even imperial aircraft look like flying garbage trucks.

Playing an early preview build of this now. I'm enjoying it a lot so far.

The preview only has two missions. From what I have seen to this point, its on a smaller tactical scale from Epic.

Stay tuned for a preview feature on the front page.

Sampstra demos the demo released by Slitherine!

Will there be a demo for the rest of us laymen, women and catpeople?

[Jarhead0331]

^Dunno...but I'm really enjoying it. Looking forward to a more complete build.

I tried listening to that video but her voice is too much like a high pitched 13 year olds. Grinds my ears.
