Maybe it's just my inner greenskin talking, but I cannot *stand* the Space Marines. Christianity with guns in space only serves to detract from the wonderfully gothic space opera. Here's your average Marine: "Ah serve th' Emperor an' kill aliens! An' if yew don't lahk it, yer probably an alien an' you kin DIE!!" *fire bolt pistol in air, yeehaw* ...at least, that's how I see the Imperium's "finest". Orks or Imperial Guard FTW any day in my book. But, in-universe quibbles aside, I agree. Relic does a wonderful job of story here and the destructible terrain makes cover only good for so long. “And yet, there is something about [the Space Marines'] loyalty to their emperor and their brotherly bond with each other that seems to shine a light of hope in this dark version of the future.”
