Wait, they sent 1000 space marines to a single space hulk? And only 50 survived. That's the entire chapter wiped out! I call bullshit.

I can't take voices that aren't:

And 950 casualties is pretty much a chapter wiped out. Especially considering these are Blood Angels, I call shenanigans.

As mentioned, 1000 marines is more or less an entire full strength Chapter.

50 survivors means the Chapter has failed. Yeah, that did not happen to the Blood Angels.

As an aside, so it's going to be very much like the latest Space Hulk game?

(Sorta a pit that Space Hulk must be Marines (probably BA) vs Stealers, lots of other weird stuff to fight and do on hulks)

same thing I thought

I know BA have a bit more then 1000 due to the death company portion of there chapter
but that's a death sentence for a Codex chapter.

also WTF: This space hulk took out more space marries Marries then the World Engine o_O

"Strike team, we are detecting multiple heat signatures all around you, are there genestealers?"
"OF COURSE THERE'S FUCKING GENESTEALERS!"

OT: well i do like 40k and I also like the turn base system of X-COM so if its anything like that I might give this a look see

I have waited for this one, finally a turn based strategy game again
There have been too few of those in the last couple of years

As for the huge losses, maybe it was before the 2nd founding and therefore the blood angels where much more numerous back the, I don't really know the story behind the original space hulk
Or maybe it was a successor chapter (Which technically still would be blood angels)

The second founding was 021.M31, this takes place 996.M40. Almost 10.000 years after the second founding.

It's a simple case of whomever made this trailer not knowing the first thing about the source material.

Yup, as Major Tom rightly points out, this is the story from 1st edition Space Hulk. Back in ye very olden days the marines weren't the plot armoured unkillable superhuman fanboy fodder they are now. They usually took quite a beating even when they won.

Rogue Trader had the Crimson Fists virtually wiped out, Chapter Approved had the Space Wolves lose over half the chapter in one campaign against orks and Space Hulk had the Blood Angels virtually wiped out by genestealers.

Every time someone mentions Space Hulk, I instantly picture Hulk punching his way through wave after wave of puny space marines...

Aw... I was hoping for Bruce Banner going green and angry in space.
Oh, it's happened before...

all spacemarines have vader cords implanted, as is mandatory in order to impose justice with a voice worthy of the emperor.

also, a game where you command a squad of darth vader troops is totally a game I'd buy.
