There is no peace amongst the stars.
Experience the brutal fusion of galactic strategy and grimdark warfare in Total War: Warhammer 40,000. Take command of iconic factions, customise your war machine, and engage in devastating battles as you carve a bloody warpath across the stars.
They revealed 2 factions, Space Marines and Orks


No chaos in 40k is crazy
I think they did this with all the old dawn of war games, too. Just starting with Space Marines, Orks, and Eldar, then adding each army as its own DLC, with Chaos being the first
I guess the base story is a straight Empire vs Orks vs Eldar thing?
Maybe Chaos are in but they’re not starting as a playable faction? End game crisis that shows up at the late game?
Maybe they do a Rome Total War thing like the civil war and split the empire because of people corrupted by chaos.
Nah, that would be 30K if they did that. Possible expansion if anything.
My money is on them being released later or being part of a larger end-game crisis condition like they were originally in TW:Warhammer, then playable for the players later after a bunch of DLC, updates, and possibly even a second game.
Edit: This also fits in neatly with Abbadon’s Crusades which were pretty much the driving plotline for most of early 40K before the nids were introduced. Nids as an endgame crisis would really sell the game for me.
Or just marketing in the run up to release of the game
