A fortress is built with blood and toil. The Fortification Pack is an expansion for Warhammer 40.000 Gladius – Relics of War, bringing one new defensive unit to each faction, widely expanding the existing roster. With a total of six new units, this DLC is a must-have and will enlarge the strategic options to all players.

As war rages on, all the factions engaged in a fierce struggle to dominate Gladius Prime resort to erecting mighty bulwarks and deploying new state-of-the-art defensive weapons.

Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Fortification Pack will be available next Thursday, October 17th.

You can check the product page to have a look at all the new units and read more about them.







We will be showcasing the new Fortification Pack DLC on an exclusive live preview stream on Tuesday October 15 at 6 pm BST on our Twitch channel!

Don't miss it!

Cool, can't wait to see them in action, especially that warp portal/gate.

" most of these are static while the Big Mek and Biowore can move "

I am sooo impatient about the "Noctilith Crown". Since I love the Word Bearers so much and they use Noctilith Crowns a lot, I will definitely mod the Noctilith Crown to have the incursion ability too, so it can function as a portal to bring "daemons" too.

I was playing the other day as the Necrons and I couldn't figure out how to build their fortification unit. I researched it and the description said that cities could build it, but I saw nothing on the city menu that allowed me to build it. What am I missing?

Well, I searched through all the necrons buildings and I can't find the Gauss Pylon in any building. However, if you are familiar with xml modding you can add the units yourself to infantry building for example.
Go into Data\World\Buildings\Necrons\Infantry.xml (make a backup of the file in case something goes bad).

<produceUnit unit="Necrons/Warrior"/>
<produceUnit unit="Necrons/Immortal" requiredUpgrade="Necrons/Immortal"/>
<produceUnit unit="Necrons/CanoptekSpyder" requiredUpgrade="Necrons/CanoptekSpyder"/>
<produceUnit unit="Necrons/HeavyDestroyer" requiredUpgrade="Necrons/HeavyDestroyer"/>
<produceUnit unit="Necrons/TriarchPraetorian" requiredUpgrade="Necrons/TriarchPraetorian"/>
<produceUnit unit="Necrons/TranscendentCtan" requiredUpgrade="Necrons/TranscendentCtan"/>

Just add <produceUnit unit="Necrons/GaussPylon" requiredUpgrade="Necrons/GaussPylon"/> below the Transcendent C'tan.

Maybe it's a bug, or maybe we don't know how to build the GaussPylon. I might test this and try to produce it to see if we aren't missing something before calling it a bug or something.

Okay, so I am not missing it. You can't find it either!

Click on the city building without opening the city menu like if you want to shoot with it.
There is the gaus pylon button.

i haven't seen the AI use the new fortifications. I posted a report in the tech support section.

Yes, except for the Ork's Big Meks and Tyranid's Biovores I haven't seen the other races build their fortification units. I spectated so many games with Chaos AI and they had the Noctilith Crown Researched and yet the didn't build it...despite have tons of resources and time and cultists to do it.
