Chapter 4, Part 9, we handle the last three battles against the Orks, including one against an old Space Hulk.

Deathwing is pretty great if you have the system to run it, it's basically Vermintide but Space Hulk.
That Ork Hulk is pretty awesome, pretty much dead on.

As far as ways to be blown up in space go, ramming a Spacey Hulk to death is one of the more awesome ones.

I'm not really able to process what a gigantic game design blunder it is to leave you stuck with those worlds lost to the Eldar and unable to do anything about it because you completed the missions that make the Eldar non-hostile.

SPACE MARINE is surprisingly good. The multiplayer was great, and I'd heartily recommend the singleplayer if it weren't for it being a little too long for its own good

There is no reasonable connection between the narrative conceit "lol eldar are backstabbers" and the game mechanics outcome "I guess the Imperium just straight doesn't give a gently caress that the xenos they just made a very tenuous treaty with are continuing to occupy/blockade their worlds, in violation of the terms of the treaty."

Actually, this may sound dumb, but is the Ork spelling of Colossus actually closer to how it should be, since the Greeks have no 'c' equivalent?

Edit: Also, drat, what a monster it was...

Honestly, I think most people would have more fun watching Coolgueye and TheLastRoboKy's excellent LP of that game more than actually playing it.

Yeah, play the demo and then watch their LP. Those hits are too viscerally satisfying to not experience first

Space Marine is a game that can handle a number of enhancements as well, such as special skins for your gobbo stomper.

Honestly I think this is just a bug. As we've seen when the Orks were beaten, their planets were freed, unlike the Eldars'.
Also I seem to recall the Eldar leaving the few worlds they had in my game, but I might be mistaken since it has been a while since then.

He's also not the captain but rather the admiral, fleet commander rather than ship. I do love Thrawn, but Pellaeon desperately needs more love. Is he in the new book? It's still not on Audible in the UK, and that's the only way I really enjoy non-Warhammer books nowadays.

I don't think so. Disney's all about pushing Thrawn up and forgetting about that other guy. Because fanservice.

Sorry to say this, but Dorn remains unavenged. The ship aboard which he died was the Sword of Sacrilege, which in this game is th Tzeenchian Nemesis ship.

Dorn being humorless is more or less canon, going by the Horus Heresy series. Rogal Dorn is very, very German.

Apologies for the delay, I've been trying endlessly without success to pull off a really cool trick that can be done in the next mission, the fight with the Planet Killer, but have failed repeatedly.

Have these stream VoDs of Star Trek Bridge Crew (VR) instead while I still fling myself at Abaddon to no avail:

Bridge Crew Part 1

Bridge Crew Part 2 (Might still be processing, Twitch is being slow, enjoy this highlight if it is processing)

It's some of the most fun I've had playing a game. Mostly because of the people, it's a decidedly social experience. I'm certainly playing it all day tomorrow as well.
