The Imperium is besieged, and Calgar’s Ultramarines are seeing their efforts hindered by a rising tide of foes. However, the forces of the Emperor are many, and so they will rise against the incoming attack!
In this month’s balance update, the Ultramarines take a bit of a hit after a very dominant season. The Sautekh Dynasty and the Saim-Hann Craftworld get a sizable upgrade, same as the Adepta Sororitas, who redouble their efforts against the xenos invasion. These changes are not yet in the game and will go live this week, together with a revamp of the ranked system. Check out the full list of changes below:
