Got a video update for THQ’s Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine game. This is a 3rd persion shooter from Relic using Games Workshop’s popular franchise. We’ve got Orks, Chaos as the Space Marines.

Space Marine: The Universe – Behind the Scenes
I’ve got to admit that Relic and THQ seem to have captured Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 franchise. This behind the scenes trailer is full of developers saying they respect the “IP”.
