PAINT IT BLACK
Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector is the latest attempt at putting some of the scale of tabletop 40K onto our screens. Which is to say, it’s another turn-based tactics game about the Space Marines. But rather than generic armored lummoxes, it features one of the more interesting flavors: Blood Angels, the marines you get into if you watched too many horror movies when you were young.
Blood Angels suffer from Red this means they get more momentum points, which are normally earned for kills, the closer they are to their enemies—the enemies in this game being the dinobug alien Tyranids. When a unit gets 100 momentum they ‘surge’, getting a movement bonus and the option to trade in those points for an extra action or a single empowered use of an ability, which turn powerful attacks devastating.
