The Dark Angels and the Deathwing lore is awesome. If you can pick up the codex it makes for good reading
Some of the books are pretty good, Deathwing I think it was I read a looong time ago when the original tabletop Space Hulk came out..
Still got the majority of my 40k army in boxes, some pretty rare stuff in there, I started off on Hulk so most of it was Terminators but when you start playing rather than just painting and entire Terminator army is pretty expensive..

This looks good, I remember playing an old Spacehulk game either on my C64 or Amiga, spent hours on it, atmosphere was excellent.

This looks great! I love Vermintide but the 40k universe is so much more interesting overall. Let's hope it isn't screwed up by something.

Netheos said:Greetings Librariens!
We are pleased to showcase an elite Terminator squad of the Deathwing as they cleanse a gigantic Space Hulk of the Xeno threat.
Space Hulk: Deathwing is playable cooperatively as well as in single player.You can join forces as up to four friends, with each of you playing a tactical role in Space Hulk: Deathwing. As the Librarian, you can take up arms with the infamous Storm Bolter and harness psychic powers to unleash destruction on the enemy.
The Deathwing veteran can mow down Genestealers with his assault cannon, while the Apothecary is tasked with keeping the squad alive. Finally, a tactician specialist can support the team with a passive buff as well as other abilities, which is useful for controlling the swarms of Genestealers. Teamwork is the key to success against the insurmountable enemy force, constantly flooding through the tunnels and corridors of the Space Hulk.
Players will be able to pre-order the game on Steam today around 7PM (CEST), and will benefit from the following bonuses:
• 15% off the price of the game
• 1 in-game weapon – the Lost Mace of Corswain

I am trying not to become over excited. Most GW-affiliated games have been rubbish (with certain notable exceptions) but given how good Vermintide was, this could be amazing. If I get to play as an Apothecary too that would be icing on the cake. The lack of a healer/support role in Vermintide meant I spent much of my time as a shield-bearing dwarf, but would have preferred a healer. I suppose given the balance, that particular game couldn't have had a healer without it being a mandatory pick, whereas in deathwing it looks a bit more like the squad makeup will be standardised, so you'll always have one (human or AI). Is that right?
Not going up on Steam until 6pm our time I think?
