Patch Notes – December 2021
Version 1.4.0
Sounds
Space Wolves have SP campaign voices added and a few other new ones and fixes.
Orks have rearranged sounds, a few new ones and play them in a few more situations.
Imperial Guard have the bullgryns and scions death sound bug fixed, ogryns and bullgryns don't play the standard guardsmen sounds, their vehicles weapons have been separated (like firing main weapon) and some new sounds added.
Daemons play their sounds in far more situations and have unique ones for things like attacking, reaching critical health, grunting when attacking and using a rally.
Weapons that weren't making sounds (like hellfire missiles, quad rockets and ironstorm missile impact explosions and Mogrok's weapons) now are.
Energy weapons don't make bullet impact sounds.
Some of the grenades that were silent now have a detonation sound.
Knights say "Ion shield failing" when the shield goes down instead of on low health.
Other minor improvements like pain sounds playing for grenades that blind or stun.
User Interface
New ability icons and info added, now you get all the info you need like cooldown times, range, etc and a few weapons have different firing icons.
Some info errors corrected, only units with reaction fire show reaction icons and the right weapons are listed in all cases in all three UI cases.
Abilities rearranged for single player with a few descriptions sharing a slot to make room for level up abilities.
For the random army lists you can now see which factions are being used before selecting an mp match.
The 'Out Of Range' text doesn't appear on screen any more over units that aren't visible, over allied units (except for Mogrok) or for units that are melee only.
The Waaagh ability had a much bigger area of effect than was shown in the area on screen. The area on screen was 5x5, the description said 7x7, the actual area of effect was 11x11. Now all three are 7x7.
Goo Bomb UI area fixed.
Tzeentch Heralds and Pink Horrors no longer have their nonexistent melee weapons listed.
Super-heavies now counted on the mission score screen, as heavy support.
Weapons that hit a whole tile now tell you the right amount of tile damage instead of half.
Paladins say Dual Heavy Stubbers, Killakans with drills now say drills instead of klaws.
Ion shields don't say that they're disable if the unit is destroyed.
It doesn't say that units that can't be pinned are locked in combat any more.
The faction names now show when the cusor is over an mp match.
Units that can't be pinned no longer say that they're locked in combat.
Transports now tell you the movement penalty for disembarking troops.
Over minor improvements.
Ability Fixes
Photon grenades and stun bombs now work on things like buggies and kopters like they're supposed to and also on soulgrinders, same with Domination (the astra psyker's unit brake).
Krak grenades/stikkbombs now always work on units that have suffered casulties.
Ragnar can't be pinned, as it says in the text of one of his abiliies.
Combat Teleporter now can't be used to teleport to a tile with a scenery object.
Wolf Tooth Necklace now does its bonus damage.
Weirdboy's Power Vomit was using an action if you had any but you could do if you had no actions. Now it's free for Big Redd and uses one action for regular weirdboyz.
Krumpa's War Paint was boosting the weapons of enemy units in range. Now it's just orks.
Grukk doesn't lose his Warpath bonus attack now when he attacks with his squig first.
Warbuggies stand a 50% chance of exploding and damaging adjacent units like they're supposed to.
The Green Tide ability now works on superkannon wagons like it's supposed to, turning them into transports.
Blessing Of Mork (invulnerablity) now works on any type of attack.
The extra attack for the Ammo Runt ability can now target cover.
Suppression Fire (Tempestor Prime's ability that makes adjacent units fire on a target) now uses one action for Whitlock instead of those that fire, fixing two bugs.
You now get the extra attack for the Backup Weapons ability when disembarking from a vehicle.
Toxic mix now does its damage at the end of each turn.
Plague Drone's drain ability now actually restore its own health.
Units like Egil and Winterfang no longer get their starting abilities showing up as new level up ability.
Only terminators can get the Personal Teleporter ability as it says in the ability's description and in the tabletop game.
Painboyz and Burners can't get More Dakka, an ability they can't use.
Other Bug Fixes
Campaign skirmishes last the selected amount of matches instead of one less.
Acid Woods, Lost Hills and Refinery MP scenario maps fixed so both sides get to deploy.
Gretchin with blunderbusses now actually fire as blunderbusses, they used to fire as (and were referred to in the code) as rifles.
Logan, Winterfang, Stormcaller, Big Redd, Skrak and stormboyz now all take up the correct number of spaces (three instead of one) in transports.
There was a gretchin transport bug where they permanently lowered the number of troops in a transport, even to a negative number. Now they take up half the number of gretchin rounding up.
Ion shields were saying they were down for one turn no matter how long it actually was. Now it says the right amount of turns and you can check how many are left by hovering the cursor over the ability icon.
Crit text doesn't show if the shields disabled text does, they were on the same screen space.
Units don't say they're out of range if you have a bonus weapon up that can reach or if the unit doesn't have a ranged weapon.
Out of actions icons weren't showing after using some abilities, now they do.
Bonus weapons don't show out of actions text any more.
Twin-linked weapons now report the correct damage instead of only the second shots.
Punishers shoot the full amount of shots when shooting cover instead of just half.
Gorkanauts can now target cover like everybody else.
Morkanaught wrecks are now classed as large objects, same as Gorkanaught wrecks.
Took out broken deffdred tile-fire option (they have flamers).
Tzeentch Heralds don't lose movement for shooting cover.
Vortex and Infernal Gateway don't appear before the casting animation.
Only one squad member of a guardsman grenade launcher squad play the firing animation when they launch a krak grenade.
Other minor bug fixes.

I also made a mp mod with new (kinda) daemon units. https://www.mediafire.com/file/o9t10jm03luziwc/Sanctus_Reach_Undivided_Mod.zip/file
I converted two of the sp maps and edited one to cover it in snow. There's a choice of force sizes and for the Blood River map you can have combined forces of the Imperium against Daemons and Orks. Orks were originally part of chaos back in the day so it's not too unreasonable. The daemons and orks can't use their abilities on each other, this only really affects the Tzeentch Herald's armour buff, Krumpa's damage boost, painboyz can't heal daemons and rallies, and daemons can't get in transports. On the up side they don't lose morale for nearby units from the other faction dying. The Imperium act as one coherent force.
New Units
Chaos Knights! Oh yes, Tzeentch (errant with heat shield and ephemeral shield), Slaanesh (paladin with three attacks and faster movement) and Nurgle (warden with a toxic flamer and the Nurgle melee nurf but slower movement).
Soulgrinders of Slaanesh (faster movement and three attacks) and Nurgle (slower movement but with the melee nurf and regen).
Chaos spawn of Slaanesh and Nurgle with the same stuff as the soulgrinders using two of the existing spawn types with the third staying as a generic chaos spawn.
This gives each god the same number of units and one super-heavy each, which seems only fair.
And gretchin with blunderbusses, they fired (and were referred to in the code) as rifles, now they're actually blunderbusses.
There's a bug that slipped through the net preventing the freeblade knight getting its third attack for space wolves, there's a very simple fix. Just go into the Sanctus_All_Abilities file that came with the mod (in the Warhammer 40000 Sanctus Reach\Core folder) and find ImperialKnight, it will look like this:
[ImperialKnight]
START2 207
START3 208
START4 206
START5 201
START6 45
START7 209
All you need to do is replace the number 208 with 38, that's it. It will take away its stomp ability icon but not stomp itself because that check is done on the unit type rather than the ability array. It will have two senechal icons but it will now work with space wolves as well as for the combined imperial forces.
There'll be a new updated version officially releaced with the patch.
