This news along with the carnifex we saw in the original trailer speaks of wonderful wonderful things. In particular, I want to play the enemy races off against each other!
Right, I didn't mention the 5th chaos god that's opposed to all the others because he was killed by lawyers. Literally, somehow a scenario arose wherein the author who created that "character" retained the rights to use him/it, and he's never granted those rights to Games Workshop. So canonically Malal doesn't exist anymore because GW isn't legally allowed to mention his existence - thus, death by lawyers.Senarrius said:

This game looks like fun and I've been waiting for a good 40k shooter since Fire Warrior.
The only problem I see is that it seems that most of the time it wil be just you and your squad and no extra allies. I hope the battlefields and missions will be more open and hopefully not all of the Imperial Guardsmen will be tainted.

Marines are definitely not the good guys, in so much that the Imperium is a soulless fascist police state so concerned with protecting its existence that it has made life an unlivable hell for everyone involved.Scorched_Cascade said:
Personally, I think the Orks are the good guys, I mean, everyone in the galaxy seems to be drowning things in war, at least the orks seem to have fun doing stuff. Seriously, outside of maybe the tau (who it seems everyone has just agreed to ignore) orks are like the only source of joy in the known universe. Add to that that they're seemingly incorruptible, whereas humans seem to be the source of most of the chaos in the galaxy.

Imperial technology is absed upno two things:Scorched_Cascade said:
1. What plans they currently still have in our possession from the Dark Ages.
2. What factories do they still have that can produce everything we need from those plans.
Both are important and dwindling resources in the 40K universe. There are things the Imperials can't make anymore because they've lost all blueprints to make them or the factories have been long destroyed. The neat thing is that despite this, the Imperium still makes technological advancements (albiet much slower than they used to) with their pirmitive knowledge. The tech priests aren't stupid, they just don't have most of the information that details most machines the Imperium can't produce anymore. They're sitll making advancements on weapons and armour. Take for example Hellblast rounds to fight the Tyranid. The armour patterns since the Herasy have also gone up a few ranks. Most Chaos Warriors are still outfitted with grafted Mark III, Mark IV or Mark V power armour (plates of metal, now grafted to their skin because of The Warp exposure and mutations) while current generation Space Marines use Mark VII to Mark VIII Ceramite Power Armour (much stronger and works more like a ceramic scale armour). The time it takes to improve something is far greater because of misunderstandings of their own technology, but there are still new weapons, armour and vehicles still being produced and tested for combat effectiveness.
