Not sure why this video is rated mature, but it made me want to play this game! Not played any of the others though, so I have no idea what I'd be letting myself in for

The video is rated mature because its a M rated game. Since they are showing gameplay in the back it can't really be E for everyone when someone's getting impaled in the head with a gigantic knife.

I'm still unsure of why they're wearing Cadian armour near Ultramar. They are literally at opposite ends of the galaxy, but heaven forbid they come up with some kind of variation on Cadian armour for guardsmen...

 

[Kaihlik]

Cadian pattern armour is widely used across the Imperium as its functional and easy to produce as well as being well regarded since the Cadian regiments are amongst the best known in the Imperium. It is also possible it is a Cadian Regminent on the planet. Also we dont as far as I know have a clue where this forge world is and it could in fact be the Ultramarines who are far from Ultramar.

It is a pity though that other Imperial guard units are not allowed their time in the sun, the Mordian Steel guard, Death corps of Krieg, or Steel legion of Armageddon all sport kickass uniforms. Heck even Catachans are badass compared to the Cadian standard.

Mainly because the Cadians get everywhere and people recognise them.

If it was set in a jungle world and Catachan Jungle Fighters showed up there would be people scratching their heads wondering who the fuck they were.

But travelling from Cadia to Ultramar would probably take a significant portion of a human lifespan. And Ultramar has a long history of being ruled over by the Ultramarines and fending off Tau and Tyranids, completely different threats to those seen in the Eye of Terror. So it seems that it any system would have Imperial Guardsman with their own distinctive histories, organisation systems and armour then it would be those from Ultramar.

Has it been established exactly where SM is set? And what makes you think the guardsmen are Cadian? I saw one soldier in that video, and she was wearing what looked like standard issue Flak Armour.

Standard issue Cadian flak armour, which is admittedly fairly common across the Imperium due to how frequently it gets tested by the forces of Chaos. And I know they're probably not actual Cadians, it just annoys me that the Cadian design has been universally accepted as how Guardsmen look. It just seems that if places like Armageddon and Krieg have radically different styles of armour, why not Ultramar as well?

And I don't know for certain that it's set near the Ultramarine's home system, but I definitely remember some of the earlier information that was given out saying that it was.

 

[Sovvolf]

Well I'll avoid the current nerd rage that's going on at the moment as I'm only a casual warhammer player and don't know the lore 'that' well. However I will say that I'm excited to see that Mark Strong is voicing a character.

Its not set on ultramar why would ultramarines only be in ultramar, that would make them very fucking useless if they stay in one system

Because they are first and foremost responsible for defending the system since it pins down the entire eastern galactic fringe. Cadia looks after the Eye of Terror, Ultramar looks after the Tau and (some of) the Tyranids. Orks and Chaos are both everywhere, so that still works. They don't 'just' stay in one system, they defend that system when there's Orks attacking it. Which there are.

Aurelia, the Blood Raven system is on the Eastern Fringe as well, and the Guard Regiment stationed there is the 85th Vendoland. They wear Cadian Pattern Flak armor as well, so I don't see what the fuss is about. Admittedly, it would be awesome if the Vostroyan Firstborn showed up, but newcomers might mix them up with the traitor guardsmen.

 

[Mr Thin]

Well it didn't take you guys long to ever-so-slightly derail the thread, did it.

Mark Strong is a fantastic actor and (can be) a scary guy, his voice has that right mix of harshness and smoothness.

It was a good choice of casting and I enjoyed seeing him show the 40K universe some love.

 

[Lunar Templar]

more i heard little details like this, more i want the game

still not big on the ultramarine bit >.> but relic would have people getting pissy no matter what chapter they picked *shrugs* and if the demo is anything to really go by, the chapter will be more or less forgotten till there's nothing left to murder XD

 

[uzo]

I don't care what sort of armour they're wearing, I just wish it wasn't Space Marines or Humans in general for that matter.

Would rather play as Eldar or something. Not that I play Warhammer but if I did I wouldn't play Space Marines

Well, considering THQ's track record (re Dawn of War 1 & 2 and their unending expansions) we may well see more games released - especially for multiplayer - which will expand to include other races.

What I'd love to see would be this game, set during the Horus Heresy.

People bandy around the word 'EPIC' but holy shiiiiit it's the goddamn HORUS HERESY! Imagine the game starting off in the Great Crusade, helping the Empraaaah unite humanity .. and halfway through it all goes to hell (literally!) when Horus rebels ... and then it's the dash for Holy Terra, Loyalist chapters fighting a delaying action across the galaxy whilst the Traitor Legions launch the do-or-die assault on Earth. Imagine being an Imperial Fist, teleporting onto Horus' Battle Barge for the final fight -- being there when Sanguinius is cut down, or when Big Emps gets stuck in the Golden Throne ! It's fluff overload !!! Aarrghh ! *head explodes*

 

[Vortigar]

I'll probably play this game anyway but I'm still having trouble getting excited about it.

I'd rather see something focused on the Inquisition or if you really need to have Marines make it a Kill Team. It allows for the personalities to stand out a bit more because they're outside the usual hierarchical structure.

With the Kill Team you can pick a marine from every chapter and highlight the differences in approach. By allowing you to choose from among them you can pick your own playstyle or adapt your crew for the mission at hand. An Inquisitorial crew can get even more extreme in this because you can get flagellants, assassins, sororitas and arbites in there.

you listening THQ, them's are good ideas here!

Us Imperial Guard players always derail things when Space Marines are supposed to be the topic. Because Space Marines are always the topic and they're boring.

So say the some 150 Mordians and Valhallans in my cupboard!

And Sheaffer's Last Chancers of course.

Sounds vaguely on topic actually...

A much simpler answer to your original question is: Because they are a Cadian regiment.

Go to the website, the female character is a LT in one of the Cadian regiments who get diverted to defend the Forge World while en-route to another engagement (possibly another world near the Eye of Terror).
