Space Marines are one of the most memorable parts of Warhammer 40k, and here's what everyone needs to know about them.

The original Space Marine came out back in 2011 and was a bit of a cult classic, which is a nice way of saying it reviewed well but nobody bought it. Still, the Warhammer 40K fanbase is nothing if not vocal, and after many years of clamoring for a sequel, our prayers to the Emperor have finally been answered and then some.

The developer of Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 has said it will take action to prevent in-game toxic behaviour, playing on beloved superfan actor Henry Cavill. In the game's latest community update, Saber Interactive outlined the game's roadmap for the next year, and promised more bug fixes and tweaks are on the way.

Players should just be nice to each other for the obvious reason: No one wants to get banned (it's also the decent thing to do). But waving Henry Cavill in front of fans feels like the equivalent of your parent threatening to tell your favourite power ranger that you hadn't eaten your veggies back when you were six.

A keynote speech from John Blanche preceded academic discussions on Space Marine, the Imperial Cult, and the nature of grimdakr.

Chairon in Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 is one of the few space marines who can sense Warp corruption and has a deep hatred for the Heretics. He is a pivotal member of the squad and portrays unmatched deduction skills when saving Titus from accusations of being a traitor to the Imperium.

Games Workshop has revealed a new intro set with everything needed to build and play tabletop Warhammer 40,000, including Lieutenant Titus!

Space Marine 2 's titular suits of beefy terror are the perfect vehicle for the game's bombastic action, but having three of them on screen at all times is also what limited its developer's ambitions.
