My homeworld was visited by traders, the game told me that while they're here the wargear would be cheaper.
Looked into the warhsips, the battle barge is 16000 instead of 20000 Not bad, though i'm still too far from that to really benefit.
Took a bunch of bolters for future troops as i had to replace the fallen ones from my orks campaigns

I was then visited by an inquisitor very small fleet, good that i had purged my 2 worlds from heretics a couple turns earlier i guess, as the inquisitor fleet left after inspection without problems.
Even despite one of my tech guy that did that and i found no problem with it :

Hmm, Tech Marines should repair Dreadnoughts right? Or would you actually have to drop the marines off on a planet with some damaged dreadnoughts for it to work? I've had like six heavily wounded dreadnoughts for close to forty turns now. Have 30 tech marines and only five hundred marines. So I don't think they would be overworked.

Thanks for posting - much appreciated! It'd be great if someone could put a proper change log up on the wiki at some point (I have no idea where to find info) as I feel in very early alpha games like this there is usually one or two bugs which annoy people enough to stop playing, so knowing when they're fixed is often a big thing.

With enough work and polish, it could have been a forgettable flash game on Kongregate.

I would say...its a good simulator and worth a try...just know that so many different weapons and equipment and stuff will just be confusing and foreign to you

Yes!  Why not?  It is a good game without the warhammer 40k lore.

Unless you play space marines in the table top game.  Still, even then, a good help to me was this, cause I know nothing about most other races, other than orks and necrons, cause I play against them mostly.

While my fleet was away with a couple of my Steel Gentlemen companies, my homeworld was under direct planetary assault from tyranids, with no idea where they are coming from as there's not a single non-imperial fleet floating around at all.
And it wasn't a small assault, they were very numerous, took several battles to finally reduce their ranks to 0 while my fleet was coming back just in case.
Good the major amount of my marines were actually still stationed in my homeworld main fortress, so i had enough to respond.

Lost several armored vehicles, more than marines oddly but in the end the Steel Gentlemen prevailed, the last battle went rather well :


Then while i was uploading the picture and alt-tabbed back to the game, it just crashed, i forgot how extremely sensible to alt-tab it was, i should have saved this moment of defensive glory , and now it's sadly lost to the warp.

To be honest, I'm going to say no, unless you have a read up on it and really like the whole grimdark space marine atmosphere thing. As a fan (and I'm only a very casual fan - mostly of the other games and a few of the books) it's great to finally have a proper WH40k strategy game of the correct scope, but if you're not into it and don't take to the setting this will probably come across as just a mega-alpha, super buggy 4x style game.

Well, maybe don't know shit was a tiny bit of an overstatement. I've looked on some wikia thing about WH40K before and it's discussed a lot in some IRC channels, so I do know what WH40K is. I may try this anyway, since it seems rather cool.

The game is great on it's own, with a nice xcom feel.  Except that you are the limited in force but greater in strength alien invader who if takes to much damage has to wait a long time to recover.

I'm going to check if the Inquisition still hates Rangers. Will post results.
