Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach
Sons of Cadia (DLC)
The Red Waaagh seems unstoppable: led by Grukk Face-Rippa, the orks rampage across the Sanctus Reach system, leaving a trail of devastation as planet after planet falls to the greenskins. Countless lives are lost, and the xenos onslaught shows no signs of abating.
On the planet of Alaric Prime, Castellan Jakren Stein prepares for a final, desperate stand. As a valiant son of Cadia, he knows there can be no retreat, no surrender—only victory or death.
The forces under his command are not ordinary soldiers; they are exceptional warriors, tempered in the crucible of war and prepared for the ultimate sacrifice. These brave souls, fiercely loyal and unhesitatingly obedient, stand as the bulwark between the light and the encroaching darkness. They are the first, last, and often only line of defense for the Imperium. They are the Astra Militarum!
Sons of Cadia introduces a brand-new faction to Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach—the Astra Militarum, also known as the Imperial Guard! Now you can lead the mighty army of the Imperium with 27 new units, including 4 heroes and special characters.
The focus of this expansion is a long single-player campaign centered around the Astra Militarum. Spanning 9 story-driven scenarios, you can build and develop your own battalion of the Astra Militarum, leveling up units with over 70 new abilities.
Master new tactics suited to this formidable army, from deploying mass waves of infantry supported by devastating artillery barrages to leading armored spearheads of tanks that break through enemy lines alongside highly trained specialists. And if morale ever begins to wane, deploy a commissar to reinforce the resolve of your troops and remind them of their duty...
Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach immerses you in a grim era of relentless warfare and galactic turmoil. In this universe, peace is an unheard-of luxury; the Imperium of Man is constantly under threat. Among its most formidable enemies are the Orks, a savage xenos race. Led by the brutal Grukk Face-Rippa, the Orks’ Red Waaagh! sweeps through the Sanctus Reach system, conquering world after world until only the Knight World of Alaric Prime stands defiant. Here, a valiant company of Space Wolves stands as the last line of defense for humanity in this corner of the cosmos.
