This 10 minute long video showcases what you can do to customize your character in MP.

It's slightly old, but I didn't see it posted. I think it needs to be showcased anyway - as a 40K fan, the amount you can do here shamefully makes me incredibly giddy. It's also weird that this has probably made the game a day-1 purchase for me. I don't collect the figurines any more, but I did have a ton of fun in Dawn of War 2's army painter, and this Space Marine completely eclipses that in terms of breadth and detail.

Leunam · Aug 8, 2011

Lots and lots of choices. He was able to crank out an Iron Hands marine easily since bionic arms are one of the choices. Really looking forward to this.

Deleted member 81567 · Aug 8, 2011

Considering a day one buy after this.

Ponti · Aug 8, 2011

Was aware that there was some form of customization in the game but I didn't know it was this indepth, looks great. Wouldn't mind this level of unit customization in DoW3.

Rodney McKay · Aug 8, 2011

I have no idea why, but I blindly pre-ordered this on Steam a few months ago. Maybe it was the free copy of Darksiders that did it.

Whatever the reason, the more I see of this game the happier I am. I just hope it won't turn into another Red Faction: Armageddon. (the last THQ game I pre-ordered)

Reluctant-Hero · Aug 8, 2011

They haven't even detailed the perks yet, I'm really looking forward to those.

I don't know much about 40K and Space Marine lore, but the preorder DLC that Gamestop is offering for the Space Wolves looks awesome! Too bad you can't use any of the preorder DLC in the armor customizer.

daedalius · Aug 8, 2011

My collectors edition is already on order, can't wait!

I wonder how close I can get the armor customizer to a grey knight.

The Antitype · Aug 8, 2011

Looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good.

Already ordered the CE off THQ's online store.

Going to get my buddy at Relic to have the team sign it.

First Name · Aug 8, 2011

I love WH40K's aesthetic. I also love that you can make them asymmetrical with this. Such a great feature.

Lostconfused · Aug 8, 2011

Bagh show me how world eaters look!! *RAGE*

thetrin · Aug 8, 2011

This looks great, but I'm a little disappointed that they didn't lift the wargear system from DoW2.

I know next to nothing about Warhammer, but I'm really looking forward to this. Had a blast with Dawn of War II and I think I would like a TPS even more.

Kalamoj · Aug 8, 2011

Dark Angels with veteran robes, please. What about the terminator armour?

I could see Terminators being a separate class rather than just an armour piece. Might be revealed in the next vid on the classes, haven't seen anything about them though in the videos so far.

Leunam · Aug 8, 2011

I doubt Terminator Armor, or Scout Armor for that matter, will make it into the multiplayer side of things. I hope it does.

Herla · Aug 8, 2011

The Terminator armor would be overpowered, but I can see it in some sort of VIP mode (though it wouldn't make much sense lore-wise...).

Won't be in the base game. There are three classes, check out the multiplayer dev diary or the multiplayer video previews on GT or IGN.

Bummer. Then no bone-white deathmachine for me. In SP you can play with the smurfs only, i guess.

thebeeks · Aug 8, 2011

As long as I can have a Corvus armor helmet and the Salamanders color scheme, this game is as good as bought.

Prologue · Aug 8, 2011

I can't help but think of Kameo when I see the trolls. Looks nice though.

Loomer · Aug 8, 2011

Wow, you can make some incredibly badass looking stuff.

noooooooooooooooooooooooo

Everyone who dreams 40k is dreaming about Terminators. Battle for Macragge was the ultimate sacrifice and badassness of Terminators.

*smashes the wall down*

ToyMachine228 · Aug 8, 2011

Can't wait for Space Marine. I bought Kill Team and it was my first excursion into the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Found myself very intrigued.

Bah was hoping there would be more than just three classes.

iamcenok · Aug 8, 2011

Can I please have this game? I'm excited to give Relic my money.

daedalius · Aug 8, 2011

Ponti said:

Question is what would they be?

I could see a 'captain' class with buffing abilities sort of like the Leader in WFC though.

Data West · Aug 8, 2011

They should just sell this stand alone. I don't want the actual game.

Reluctant-Hero · Aug 8, 2011

I'm at work, can't properly search GAF and don't have the time to do this properly. But this is definitely "New thread for new News" worthy:

Space Marine will have CO-OP added at least 30 days after release as "free" DLC

Just learned this from co-optimus.com. Relic will announce full details pretty soon, I'd assume.

The bits and pieces I've seen of the single player look very repetitive and monster closet central. Very similar to a Dynasty Warriors without character selection.

And I have no interest in multiplayer, so I can't speak on that.

secondratesaint · Aug 8, 2011

Pretty confident this is currently my most anticipated game. Hope it holds up and that there'll still be a crowd playing it online when Gears 3 hits. Not the same, I know, but similar enough to draw the crowd.

Tokubetsu · Aug 9, 2011

Damnit, now I won't be able to play the game as intended for a whole year, since I'm going abroad.

That's great. But, 30 days after release? I'll be balls deep in GoW3 co-op and horde.

Draft · Aug 9, 2011

lol, I feel a little embarrassed to admit it, but that video might have just sold me the game.

Duffyside · Aug 9, 2011

When this game was announced, I was all "pfft, 'SPACE MARINE.' What dumb, shitty title. It looks like a Gears ripoff. And 'Warhammer 40k?' That might be an even DUMBER name than 'SPACE MARINE.' LOLZZZZ."

Now I'm all like "Day... 2." (Not quite there yet, but damn the game looks better and better. And actually getting interested in the universe itself.)

The_Player · Aug 9, 2011

Multiplayer looks pretty meeh to me. Imperium vs Chaos, how pathetic and ordinary.

as opposed to what? army 1 vs army 2 basically every other shooter?

Heh, now that you bring it up, how awesome would it be if a shooter did the Starcraft thing of having multiple race types where each played differently but were all balanced?

Has any game done that? What about that 360 Fantasy-Shooter Cross-PC thing?

The_Player · Aug 9, 2011

elrechazao said:

That's it, it's very common nowadays to see just opposite armies, which are pretty identical to each other. I wait from WH40k shooter to have different armies, not that trivial shit. They're also making an equal sign between Imperium and Chaos and it is pretty dumb to me as a fan. I thought Relic guys are versed in the Warhammer 40K universe.

Saiyar · Aug 9, 2011

They could have done it like L4D. 4 Marines against an ork horde with the ork players taking controll of the more powerfull ones. Would probably require a lot if work though.

Did you bother to do any research into the DECADES OLD Warhammer 40,000 license between Day 1 and Day 2?

The_Player said:

Or you could call it elegantly simple and smartly balanced.

I LOVE asymmetrical multiplayer modes, where different teams have different stats, objectives, weapons, and the like. But it takes a lot of time and effort to get right. Even Bungie couldn't quite nail it out the gates with Invasion mode in Reach.

As a Dawn of War fan, would I love to see some on-the-ground battles between the Space Marines, Orks, Eldar, Tau, Tyranids and Necrons? Sure... but it would be tough. Maybe in a sequel?

I think it's fair to say that while the two races aren't exact mirror images of each other, they are the most similar of the races when it comes to abilities, power, weapons, fighting techniques, etc.

Honestly, people just expect Imperium and Chaos. If it were anything else, fans would cry out why that race was chosen over their favorite.

Personally, I'd love to have that amount of armor customization with Eldar, but now some lurker is at my throat, asking why not Orks, or Tau.

Tylahedras · Aug 9, 2011

I think it just makes sense as a kicking-off point for a series to start small. I mean you start with these races and try to gradually include more and more if you get sequels. That lets you keep the quality up to snuff.

Trying to include too many would have meant watering down options, and I'd rather have an amazingly tight experience that can be expanded on.

Nome · Aug 9, 2011

It looks freakishly cool. It's going to be weird seeing everyone decked out in different colors though.

In Tribes you could force team colors from your viewpoint. They should do that.

I don't know about that. I think a lot of the 40k crowd is understanding and would want to see something other than Space Marines because they're in EVERYTHING 40k games-wise

edit: whoops double post

Daigoro · Aug 9, 2011

very nice addition. just like building your own model.

but is there a beak helmet? i need a beak helmet!
