Black Legion is ready to despoil in Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector

Published on February 24, 2026

Black Legion out now

The most infamous Chaos Space Marines have arrived in Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector with a brand-new faction DLC, introducing fifteen fearsome units that bring the wrath of the Warmaster. Originally born from the once proud Luna Wolves, one of the original sixteen founding Legions of the Space Marines, these warriors fell from grace during the Horus Heresy of the 31st Millennium and were reborn as the dreaded Black Legion.

Led by the feared Chaos Lord, the Sorcerers of Chaos, the Masters of Executions and the Cultist Firebrands, the faction offers a brutal arsenal. Chaos Terminators, Legionaries, Raptors, Chosen, and Havocs form the relentless backbone of the Black Legion’s armies, each contributing distinct tactical strengths. Supporting them are the terrifying Daemon Engines, whose power can unleash torment and savage destruction.

With this DLC, available on Steam, Xbox and PlayStation, players can embrace the unholy might of Chaos Undivided and experience a new level of strategic brutality in Battlesector.
