Fans of Warhammer 40,000 will no doubt thrill to the setup; the ravening Orks have invaded an Imperial Forge World and there's hints that other races will be involved too, including the Tyranids, a bio-engineered swarm of gribbly, scythe-armed critters that operate through a single consciousness known as the 'hive mind'.
All well and good, but we're hoping for more meat than is currently present.
The demo we saw did have variety - it started off with the player blasting enemies from the door of a dropship before crash-landing and taking the fight to the green-skinned hordes on foot.
