The strategy game Warhammer 40,000 – Battlesector (in the test) convinced testers Rüdiger Steidle Among other things, with his passionately implemented Warhammer scenario and the “super-solid tactical framework”. The title apparently found favor with even more players, which is rated “very positive” on Steam, after all, the Warhammer implementation originally developed by Black Lab Games brought six faction DLC and a number of new features between 2021 and 2024. The collaboration between Black Lab Games and Slitherine even dates back to 2015 Star Hammer – The Vanguard Prophecy back. Now Slitherine is taking over the further development itself, as Black Lab Games wants to dedicate itself to new projects.
