Description
"Each army has its own form of diversity, in the form of Chapters, Legions, Clans or Craftworlds. All warriors of a faction must choose one of these organizations. The choice affects not only your appearance, but also provides a set of bonuses and abilities unique to that division.
Space Marine Chapters participating in the crusade include the proud Ultramarines, noble Blood Angels, ferocious Space Wolves and mysterious Dark Angels.
Together, elite warriors from different chapters may form Battle Squads, fighting as a unit and building their legend in the Eternal Crusade."
I swear, if they don`t add Iron Warriors and Night Lords into the available legions, I shall go murder those developers :P
Iron Warriors was the initial confirmed legion you'd play as, as chaos. so they'll be there.
Blood Angels, enough said :)
Well, Blood Angels are ok :P esp. their death companies :"D They would be useful servants to the blood god... maybe better than berzerkers :P
SANGUIS PRO SANGUIS DEUS!
I was hoping they would add the Raven Guard.
so we have Iron Warriors, and i think Word Bearers are a must if we look at the other art piece and remember the teaser site's boastful Chaos voice actor. wonder who we're getting next. Black Legion maybe?
i'd want Berzerkers, but they're probably going to go with Chaos Undivided for the most part
I guess that they'll add either the Wold Eaters or Bearers to the legions, as for the Eldar i hope we'll have Altansar & Iyanden, oooooh some swift death by the Hands of the great Eldars \m/
playing a Khornate and covering your armor in more Blood God heraldry as you level up would be boss, but i doubt that's going to happen
n-no guardsmen? ;_;
hmmm i might get thumbed down till i reach hell for this but it will be hard for me to pick ultramarines (flamethrowers incoming!) or space wolfs.
No, Salamanders need to be added. Then you, me, and all fellow pyromaniac gamers can burn the heretics and the xenos!
Also, Salamanders do legitimately offer a different game style - they're up close and personal Space Marines, like Blood Angels who can keep it together and use their bolters as bolters rather than bashing enemies over the head with them (not that there's anything wrong with that... a dead heretic is a dead heretic, doesn't matter how they got that way =P)
Space Wolves just about need their own separate army if the developers want to do them justice, and the same for the Dark Angels really... neither chapter plays like a 'normal' space marine army, so it doesn't seem right that they can be lumped into a single category. Now, realism does factor in here - if I had my way each race would be fully customisable and every codex woudl get a showing, but that just ain't happening... however, I still say that the "best" 40K computer game will be the one that captures the freedom of the tabletop game. And putting a Space Wolf in the same basket as an Ultramarine certainly isn't showing a lot of distinction between two almost opposite doctrines/play styles...
