THQ’s dropped first details, screens and a video of Warhammer 40K: Kill Team, an XBLA and PSN arcade shooter designed to pre-cursor the release of Space Marine in September.
The local co-op 40K shooter will be released only for PSN and XBLA in July for $10, and will unlock a Power Sword for use in Space Marine. Take a look at a gameplay movie and screens below.
Kill Team casts you in a Space Marine team sent to assault a giant Ork Kroozer en-route to an Imperial Forge World.
You’ll be able to choose from four classes, including ranged specialists the Sternguard Veteran and Techmarine, and more melee-focused classes like the Vanguard Veteran and Librarian.
It’s to feature two-player, same-screen co-op, multiple weapon upgrades and six Space Marine chapters.
Anyone that buys the game and completes its first mission will unlock the Power Sword weapon for use in Space Marine multiplayer: it apparently features “unique animations, combos and damage output.”
Space Marine itself releases in September for PC, PS3 and 360.

I was actually saddened when the title said "XBLA". Glad the title is wrong and it's also coming out on PSN.
PC would be nice too.
Gameplay looks like mindless, explosive awesomeness. And Tyranids are in it as well!
Not a fan of this being only two-players. Hopefully they'll expand it to the de facto top-down standard of four before release.

I just can't wait for people to use this to justify their super space marine fluff. "They need to make marines better in 40k I mean it's well known that a space marine can take down an ork stompa, I did it in the video game. All their stats should be 11s".

Actually, they could be in a Rok (an Asteroid converted into an Ork ship) or if they are on a hulk, then they are just as often full of Orks (or even Eldar or Daemons) as they are of Nids.
I would however look forward to other races being added.

The game has some DLC tie ins with the upcoming full console/ pc Space Marine game which starts as a marine vs. ork story (with some chaos apparently thrown in later). I'm not surprised for that reason. It could be a somewhat related story where a DW kill team (despite them not having the right armor colors) are sent to destroy something orky which leads to the plot in the full game, ala the DA and Ghaz on Piscinia and then everyone else versus him on Armageddon.

Looks like good ol top down fun, way faster I think than other top downs I've played (like alien swarm)
Kinda sad though its only 2 players, top downs imo are best played with x4 people, from alien swarm to marvel ultimate alliance. But I suppose with Space Marines and orks it would get way too chaotic
Also, Dat Stompa!
