Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector - Tyranid Elites PC

Two deadly Tyranid units bolster your forces in Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector. The Broodlord dominates melee with psychic disruption via Paroxysm, crippling enemy combat effectiveness before slashing in with Monstrous Rending Claws. It also boosts nearby Genestealers through Evolved Brood Telepathy, letting them pierce defenses. Meanwhile, hulking Hive Guard unleash bio-cannons, choosing Impaler Cannons that weave around cover or Shockcannons that shred tank armor and topple dreadnoughts. Add the Broodlord and Hive Guard to single-player skirmish and multiplayer armies on PC. A free update integrates them into the Age of Crimson campaign, where opponents face them regardless of ownership. Strategy players who command Tyranid swarms in close-quarters psychic assaults and anti-armor barrages will find these units essential.

Two deadly new units join the Tyranid roster in Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector: the nightmarish Broodlord, and the devastating Hive Guard.

Broodlord

The Broodlord is a melee powerhouse, with the capability to disrupt the minds of nearby prey.

Calling upon the might of the Hive Mind, the Broodlord uses its Paroxysm psychic ability to render a unit ineffective in combat, and then leaps upon them with its Monstrous Rending Claws. While the Broodlord lingers on the battlefield, any nearby Genestealers will be able to swarm through the enemy's defenses with the help of the Broodlord's Evolved Brood Telepathy.

Hive Guard

The Hive Guard are hulking armoured ranged units that wield terrifying bio-cannons against their prey.

Hive Guard units have a choice between the Impaler Cannon or the Shockcannon to eradicate their foes. The telepathic shard-beast ammunition of the Impaler Cannons ducks and weaves around obstacles, rendering anything but the heaviest of cover useless. Shockcannons blast apart the armour of mechanised foes, stopping tanks in their tracks and bringing even the mightiest of dreadnoughts to their knees.

With this DLC, the Broodlord and Hive Guard can be added to your single-player skirmish and multiplayer armies.

The Broodlord and the Hive Guard have been added to the Age of Crimson single player story campaign in a free update. Therefore, ownership of the DLC is not required to fight against them in the campaign.
