Preis Update 20.10.23

New unit types for all factions enter the fray with the Specialist Pack.

Each of the new units brings something new to their faction: support abilities, superior firepower, devastating psyker powers, and more.

Astra Militarum - Ratlings
Sniper infantry unit that can move after shooting.
Though less resilient than their human comrades, Ratlings are naturally excellent shots. It is said that Ratling marksmen can take the head off a heretic from over a kilometre away. Coupled with their knack for staying out of harm’s way, this makes Ratlings formidable snipers who can take a surprising toll upon superior enemy forces.

Chaos Space Marines - Dark Disciples
Infantry unit that increases the defenses of Chaos units.
Dark Disciples carry profane accoutrements of their masters’ worship and parrot the fell words spoken in his baleful prayers. Many such disciples have been augmented to better serve in their role–their skin stretched out and inked with grim litanies, or their mouths fitted with Daemon-touched vox-grilles to project their voices into the warp. Amidst the din of combat they join their Dark Apostle’s chants, crying out for the Chaos Gods to manifest their blessings.

Craftworld Aeldari - Warlock
Psyker infantry unit that can teleport around the battlefield and cleanse their foes.
When the Warlocks of the craftworlds join their minds, the fate of worlds can hinge upon their actions. As true sons of Khaine, these militant psykers will plunge into combat at the slightest provocation. Witchblades and singing spears are swung in graceful arcs, leaving coruscating webs of energy behind them as the Conclave carves through the ranks of their adversaries. They do so with joy in their souls, for of all the seers of the Eldar hosts, the Warlocks are the fiercest and most violent of all.

Necrons - Canoptek Wraiths
Extremely mobile infantry unit that passes through terrain and enemies with equal ease.
Canoptek Wraiths flit across the battlefield like the spectres of the restless dead. Using their dimensional destabilisation matrices, these strange constructs are able to phase in and out of reality at will. This unique technology means that, though no more than mindless drones, Canoptek Wraiths have manifold uses in war. Fortifications are no obstacle to a Wraith, and they are able to pass more or less undetected even through the midst of the foe, making them exceptional spies and assassins both. Furthermore, Canoptek Wraiths make effective terror- troops, appearing as if from nowhere to strike at vital targets in the enemy’s midst. Here, swirling through the panicked gunfire of the foe, the Wraiths flicker rapidly in and out of phase with reality, shots and blades passing harmlessly through their indistinct forms.

Orks - Kill Bursta
Super-heavy vehicle with a big kannon and transport assault capacity.
Kill tanks are an Ork heavy tank design based around the twin Ork loves of speed and extreme violence. The Kill Bursta's main gun is an immense, wide-bore siege mortar mounted in the centre of its forward hull, much in the manner of a Space Marine Vindicator, only much, much larger! The huge rocket-boosted ordnance launched by the bursta gun, while appallingly short ranged, is powerful enough to blast a hardened bunker or defensive bastion to smithereens, and has been observed in direct fire shattering Imperial super-heavy tanks in a single shot, based as much on luck as good judgement by its gunners.

Space Marines - Devastator Centurion
Very bulky infantry unit with massive armaments.
Devastator Centurions pound their enemies with a remorseless, relentless rain of fire. Bloody havoc is wrought upon anything that falls within the Centurions’ targeting reticules. The pilots’ marksmanship is augmented by the grim machine spirits of their warsuits, decimator protocols guiding servo-assisted recoil absorption and oracular auto-targeting to ensure the Centurions maintain a punishing rate of fire. Return fire is a futile gesture, akin to flinging stones at a fortress, for should the enemy launch an assault in an attempt to silence the Devastator Centurions’ guns they must contend with the suits’ massive strength and the pilots’ skill at arms.

T'au - Krootox Rider
Sneaky infantry unit with both ranged and close combat capabilities.
Surging from the undergrowth with their rifles blazing, the warriors of the Kroot Carnivore squads fall upon their victims with feral shrieks. In their midst lumber massive Krootoxes, gunners perched upon their backs as they direct sawing bursts of heavy fire into the foe.

Tyranids - Venomthrope
Infantry unit with poisonous attacks and a protective spore cloud.
The Venomthrope serves as a living chemical weapon dispenser for the swarms of the Tyranid hive fleets. Its whip-like tentacles drip with a multitude of alien poisons. Indeed, so potent are these toxins that it is believed that a Venomthrope's very touch means certain death.

As always: If you love the base game and just want more, go get it! More units just means more diversity and fun. But it is not essential.

Now I will talk a bit about the new units.

Ratlings: Those guys are in the current state quite OP. They do a more damage than Eldar Rangers because of their numbers and if you buff them with a commissar they get even scary to the point were they can wipe out almost an entire terminator squad. And this is just a cheap T1 unit. They probably get nerfed soon I guess. (Recent patch reduced their models by -1)
Still cool to see the space hobbits in the game.

Dark Disciples: Just imagine a group of even weaker only melee cultists combined with the Noctilith Crown. They are not meant to fight but to give all your chaos units a nice invu shield (like noctilith crown but mobile). I guess Noctilith Crown is now obsolete? I hope they get some changes so they may get more interesting. Wish they had more abilities than just standing next to a unit to protect it.

Eldar Warlock: The ultimate glass cannon. They are very squishy but they can teleport around anywhere on the map if you have sight for every 5 turns. Also once you researched their upgrade they do tremendous amount of dmg to everything. But expect them to die easily in the next turn if the enemy can counter attack you. So be careful with them. Still seem quite OP to me. Imagine teleporting a bunch of them near enemy cities and doing like 30-40 dmg with each one of them. Scary stuff. But also high energy cost. I also expect them to get nerfed.

Canoptek Wraiths: Extremely mobile and they can pass through anything and also ignore the terrain. This means you can kill off support units in the back of the enemy's army like tech priests, apothecaries etc. or block the path of escaping units. Can be quite annoying for the enemy if used correctly. They are also quite tanky but you can't repair them with canoptek spyder since they are infantry. They don't do much damage but from the tactical usage they seem quite interesting.

Kill Bursta: Ork battlewagon on steroids paired with a bigger and beefier version of a vindicator. This thing is quite tanky and the big gun is effective against vehicles and infantry. The fact that they can move through cover and also have the assault transport trait is interesting. Just pack your Meganobz and your Waaagboss up and drive your Orks into the foight! WAAAGH! But you rarely see this monstrosity since its a late T9 unit.

Devastator Centurion: Big beefy ranged T8 infantry (recent patch made them from T9 to a T8 unit). Expensive but good damage. With an upgrade they can also ignore cover bonuses. Devastator doctrines also seem to work on them for even crazier damage. Late game stuff. They also have a quite cool looking model. I like them.

T'au Krootox Rider: Finally some Tau melee and they can even shoot and ignore overwatch. Hide them in forests and prepare ambushes. They also can move freely through cover. But be careful because they don't have much armor and can die easily. You need to be the first to strike. The range 3 gun can be useful to support but doesn't do that much damage. Another plus is that they are cheap to build.

Venomthrope: I don't honestly know what to think about this unit. Do Tyranids really need another anti infantry unit? They are also way too slow to keep up with the rest of your army since they can't move through cover. They have the same spore cloud aura as malanthropes and a high damage poison attack you can use every 5 turns and posion melee attack. Seem a bit expensive to me and I think Raveners or biovores do this job a lot better. I need to test them more but I expect this unit to be changed in future patches. They need some buffs.

So far great pack. Keep in mind that this review only represents the current state of the units and they are very likely to change in the next patches. Even after so many years the developers are quite active and support this game which I really appreciate. So if you are a fan of Gladius I can recommend it! It just gives you more units for each faction to play with.

Another great DLC for an already sensational game, some great gap fillers for the respective factions.

This DLC pack adds units for all 8 factions (base and DLC) at the time of writing. This is the reason that the pack is a little more expensive than others, because it does add 8 brand new units. Each faction gets an interesting unit that fills a gap in the roster or enables some new builds. Very good value in my opinion, with good model and design quality! Excellent as always.
