Inevitable compare it with Sanctus Reach, i expect this have a better evolution after release and we can have a great WH40K tactical wargame, i liked and play a lot Sanctus Reach but never receive a lot love after release... only in last moment skirmish allow you to buy any type of unit for example.

Battlesector looks more completed in UI area, appear be more equilibrated in units and enviroment looks more open to be creative in tactical area, true we dont know a lot about the game details but at least images promise a more inmersive experience.

Good luck with development and waiting know more about the game.

I do hope this will have good modding support, I do agree with what Hexagon said about Sanctus Reach. Then again, it depends on the setting, and how much can be added.

But I do hope that BS will get more love, and will be a much better game to boot.
