Announced in May of last year and shown in footage form at E3 a month later, Warhammer 40K: Space Marine seems to be a title that THQ and developer Relic are taking their own sweet time on. As evidence to that, these are the first two screenshots that have surfaced for the action RPG.
I’d say that if the game’s visuals are this gorgeous, Relic can take as much time as they need to make sure the game plays as good as it looks.

Freaking marketing.

a) You’re playing as one of the most loved/hated Chapters in 40k story…
b) You’re not just fighting Chaos. God bless the Orks.

I wonder what Traitor Legion will be the enemy; probably Word Bearers?
