The traitor angle was a bit too predictable.

Avitus had it coming a LONG time. Or the psyker, its always the psyker

But what if you hate cyrus? He is a shady man... And avitus was fun, I love devs. As long as Thaddus is in there, I will be happy.

**H.B.M.C.**

Did they ever give a reason for why Eliphas ditched the Word Bearers and joined the Black Legion?

Also, hold on, I notice that the Redeemer and the Battlewagon are listed as "Multiplayer" units. Is this saying that these units will not be available in single-player?

**asimo77**

I think that just means skirmish in general whether it be custom, public, or private.

But I bet there'll be a climactic, epic, mission where you command the Land Raider/Battlewagon.

As for Eliphas he's a self-serving, power-hungry,evil space jockey. He probably thought the Black Legion would serve his ambitions better than Word Bearers. Though seems a little unfaithful for a Word Bearer.

Also it is confirmed that the chaos campaign is Black Legion again right?

Avitus, the man who spoke this close to blasphemy every other drop?

**blood reaper**

I beilieve it would be the Psyker. That much time around Daemons and in a Space hulk. Could be the Assault Marine

**Raxor**

Eliphas was killed by a Daemon Prince of the Word Bearers. I think it is fair to say he wasn't welcomed in that Legion anymore.

**blood reaper**

Play DOW2 chaos rising you will see what happins.

Ah, Tarkus backed him down, so it was all good. And he was just a grumpy old man.

So I just watched to latest trailer and noticed the chaos boys using sonic weapons. Thought that was an interesting nugget of info

**asimo77**

Do you have a link to this trailer? I couldn't spot any in the ones I watched.

**spireland**

Can't wait for this one, these guys really capture the 40k universe. THQ rocks.

**HoverBoy**

They've been my favorite strategy game company ever since supreme commander.

Well I think this is conformation of Sisters in Retribution or at least a huge arrow pointing towards them.

This was confirmed on the last page. Literally the page before this one.

THQ is only the publisher. Relic actually developed the game.

Why won't you buy the game if there's Inquisition in it? That seems like a really stupid reason not to buy a game. You don't have to play them if you don't want to you know.

**ThatMG**

Well sorry, was not going to read 10+ pages because going to bed now, talking about them being in the game it make sense because of the

Spoiler:

**Eumerin**

Based on what I saw posted elsewhere, I got the impression that at least officially both Cyrus and Martellus have been declared traitors but Apollo has chosen to ignore those charges while he figures out exactly what is going on.

Or in other words, the only member of Apollo's group that could identify Martellus as the traitor is Cyrus. And Cyrus is under a cloud of suspicion himself. Which means that Martellus could still be the traitor - it's just that the loyalists from the previous expansion haven't been able to get the charges to stick.

Which one was Martellus again?

**asimo77**

He was the techmarine

**Orkfantic**

It points to sisters cause it lists them like half way down the article under the video.
Edit: No wait I messed up read that list wrong nevermind

**ph34r**

Imperial Guard.
