Just spotted this on the relicnews forums. Looks like Relic have picked up that 40k Action game we saw some time ago....

http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/987/987127p1.html

I remember seeing this 9 minute preview of this game, it looked really cool! Quite unfluffy in certain points, but the game looks really good and must be fun!


By the way, where did you get your Avatar from? That artwork is kick ass!

It was created for use on the relicnews forums, it's one of the bajillions of presets you can choose there. I just robbed it for here cos I like it lol.

this looks fething amazing, i guess ill be another £50 out of pocket as soon as this gets released

and i may even start using thunder hammers in my salamanders even more lol

thats a 9 min vid of the game, not as great looking, but its a start

Damn them and their console games! I may just have to change my ways and get over my hatred of the XBOX.

Here's the video to go with it:

The jump between the first glimpses of gameplay and the current ones are outstanding. I want this game now, even if there's some fluff butchering.

Sorry, but i see orks exploding as a thunder hammer hits them, what more do you want? feth fluff

HURRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! *Ahem*

Looks good, time for an upgrade?

It has nice concept and lots of potential. But i cant help feel the finishing moves and their same set angle played over and over again will bore the player ( yes i know they said there is over 100 ) But i would like it better if they can be displayed at different angles.

Luna hun, im sorry, but you get a thunder hammer
thats all the convincing i need to buy the game

and for some strange impulse buying / retail therapy ive now ordered 2 units of assault termies lol

Mind you that's also for the game when it was in development way back when. A lot can change in that time. Also, I'm not even sure it has the same developer as it did then.

Im only commenting from what i see :"o since im not psychic to what happend between the time till now hehe

Luna, why arent you psychic?
you can do pretty much everything else lol, also, needed to find someone with good taste, any chance of taking a look at the salamanders termie i painted up quick?



Also, from what i found out the game is alot smoother than the vid i posted, and yea, its been confirmed there is around 100 finishing moves, however, they are all dependant on situations and weapons. (gears style)

From the initial concept to the trailer on IGN, it looks pretty badass. They should offer a LE mini with any pre-orders. You know there would be people buying the game even if they didn't own a console!

Is it only going to be released on the 360?

Keep in mind the footage that showed a year ago was ridiculously pre alpha, and was never meant to be shown to the public.


This footage made me "woah". Finally, non blood ravens and action based gameplay.

Looks great, can't wait until a first person game where you can play as any race.

Oh...................My..............God...........

SPEHSS MARINEZ!

But, in all seriousness, this is looking pretty good!

Though I'm looking forward to some kick-ass multiplayer

Put me down for a pre-order. Looks like it is a small squad style game.

I would be perfectly happy to have Left 4 Dead with 4 Space Marines against Orks.

Please have Co-Op... Please have Co-Op.... Please have Co-Op.... That alone would greatly increase my chance of pre-ordering.

Meh... Xbox...

Hmph... consoles...

I guess I will be getting a PS3 when God of War 3 comes out, so it might turn out alright in the end.

Screw Co-op
Please have deathmatch
Please have deathmatch

This is indeed looking ace. I dont want it as a console game tho lol

Ok...I finally got to see the new clip! Short...

But ok, it looks really tight, if that is the actual gameplay rather than just cinematics I might be tempted to be tempted to get an Xbox (try to avoid buying additional Microsoft stuff as much as possible)

dont forget that the 9 min video was all beta work. The trailer looks great and certainly has me dusting off my 360 since ive enjoyed nothing since gears of war 2.

as said, feth co-op, it needs deathmatch

playing a good game is 1 thing, but being able to play it against others online makes it competative, which is good.

Looking good!

Now cue the whining of people who don't want to be an Ultra.

But it has thunderhammers!
i dont care what chapter they are from


however, im now tempted to buy the ltd ed. gamesday vet with the hammer
also, in deathmatch (if possible) you should have a chapter select

doesent need to be much work, just colour and icon changes really.

WOW i was thinking a month or so ago that i wanted a game like this. I really hope theres some decent customizability in the game. and i REALLY hope you can have termie armour at some point :-P I'm pretty excited about it. Its nice that its not blood ravens AGAIN. too bad it's ultrasmurfs. being able to paint your armour for multiplayer would be really cool though.

Relic is doing the game, so if it has MP it will have an army painter as with DoW.
