Rally your Grey Knights to meet Nurgle’s latest threat in a free update for Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters – out now!

Published on: Thu, 25/05/2023 - 5:45pm

Revealed as part of Games Workshop’s Warhammer Skulls showcase, the next free update for acclaimed turn-based strategy game Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters will bring players a new protection-based mission type, as well as a dangerous new threat in the form of hulking War Dog Stalkers. In Bloom Assault missions, the player must intervene to recover a precious cargo of Bloom Seeds acquired by Inquisitor Vakir’s field agents, as they are relentlessly besieged by the forces of Nurgle. Glorious Deeds provide additional boons to those who successfully protect the Astra Militarum forces tasked with the protection of this vital research resource.

Furthermore, the Baleful Edict’s prognosticars have identified a new daemonic presence deploying across the sector. The War Dog Stalker is a deadly threat, with an arsenal of weaponry which can be deployed at any range; their Daemonbreath Spear, a Melta weapon, can quickly vaporise armour at a distance, whilst their Reaper Chaintalon offers both offensive and defensive close-combat capabilities. Despite the War Dog Stalker’s size, Force Commanders should be wary of their mobility on the battlefield and the ferocity with which they hunt their foes.

Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters is out now on Steam and the Epic Games Store. As part of the Warhammer Skulls digital festival, new recruits can add Warhammer 40,000®: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters to their library with 20% off the suggested retail price, or choose to expand their existing sanctified arsenal with 25% off Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters – Duty Eternal*.
