5	[[TheFuture It is the 41st Millenium,]] [[ForeverWar and there is only war.]] TheEmperor and his [[OneWorldOrder Imperium of Man]] [[TheEmpire govern all of humankind with an iron fist.]] He is the master of his domain by [[WeHaveReserves the might of his vast armies]] and [[ManInTheMachine though crippled,]] [[BigGood keeps watch over his race]] by [[PsychicPowers sheer psychic will.]] [[BigBrotherIsWatching The Imperial government is brutal, oppressive and totalitarian,]] [[IDidWhatIHadToDo but is the only thing]] keeping mankind from [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt a grisly fate at the hands]] of [[TheQuisling traitors,]] [[AliensAreBastards aliens]] [[TheLegionsOfHell and worse.]] [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 But you knew that already.]]

7	An [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Ork]] [[CoolShip Kroo]][[FunetikAksent zer]] is bearing down on [[TheEmpire an Imperial]] [[EternalEngine Forge World]]. The only hope to stop it? A squad of TheEmperor's [[ElitesAreMoreGlamorous finest soldiers,]] [[SuperSoldier his Angels of Death:]] [[SpaceMarine the Space Marines.]]

9	The player takes control of one of four different Marines of varying abilities and proceeds to shoot, slash and [[SpecialAttack special move]] their way through [[MultiMookMelee hordes of Orks,]] and [[BugWar the occasional Tyranid.]] [[OneManArmy These being]] ''[[OneManArmy the]]'' [[OneManArmy Space Marines,]] [[OneRiotOneRanger just one of them is sufficient]] to take out an entire Ork mob and their Warboss- but you can tip the odds further against the Orks by bringing in a friend [[CoopMultiplayer for local co-op.]] Scattered throughout the levels are Aquila symbol collectables, which unlock ConceptArt. When you're done with that, there's a [[EndlessGame Survival Mode.]]

13	----
14	!!'''Kill Team provides examples of:'''
15
16	* AdvancingBossOfDoom: The Carnifex in level 4.
17	* BackToBackBadasses: Happens often enough in co-op, as players can share [[PowerUp Powerups]] this way.
18	* {{BFG}}: The purview of the Sternguard Veteran. He begins the game with a Heavy Bolter and can upgrade to a Plasma Cannon and then a rapid-firing [[StuffBlowingUp Missile Launcher.]]
19	* {{BFS}}: The Librarian begins with a foe-cleaving Power Sword and upgrades to a Force Sword and then an "Epic" Force Sword.
20	* ChainsawGood: The Vanguard begins the game with the standard-issue Chainsword.
21	* CharacterClassSystem: Four different marines with different weapons and abilities.
22	** The Sternguard Veteran packs [[{{BFG}} big guns]] and devastates enemies at range, but does very little melee damage, [[PistolWhipping being forced to simply whack foes with his gun.]]
23	** The Librarian wields [[{{BFS}} Power or Force Swords]] and cleaves readily through crowds, though not as well as the Vanguard- but he deals more ranged damage with his Bolt Pistol.
24	** The Vanguard Veteran wields various nasty melee weapons and excels close up, but deals very little ranged damage and [[SuicidalOverconfidence can get in over his head very quickly.]]
25	** The Techmarine is armed with various rifle-sized weapons and deals good ranged damage, though not to the extent of the Sternguard- but he's better close up thanks to his [[{{Cyborg}} Servo-Arm.]]
26	* CharacterCustomization: You can choose up to two perks, such as more health, melee or ranged damage, faster special move charge or greater special move effect, additional grenade slots or longer PowerUp duration. You may also choose from one of six Space Marine Chapters: VideoGame/DawnOfWar's Blood Ravens, Ultramarines, White Scars, Imperial Fists, Blood Angels and Salamanders, though this affects only your armor colors.
27	* ChargeMeter: Your SpecialAttack runs on one, which builds up slowly over time, faster when you kill enemies.
28	* DynamicEntry: Some soldiers might enter an enemy ship silently, perhaps by stowing aboard a cargo transport. The Space Marines are not they. They simply crash an armored landing craft through the side of the Kroozer, stride out the front door over a small pile of Ork corpses, and strike their default AsskickingPose.
29	* EnergyWeapon: The various Plasma guns, as well as the Techmarine's Meltagun.
30	* ExcusePlot: You gotta kill some orks because they're attacking a forge world. Also, there're some tyranids.
31	* GoryDiscretionShot: Yes, there's actually a Gory Discretion '''in a Warhammer 40,000 game!''' [[EveryoneHasStandards We didn't think it was possible]]... Anyway, if you get caught by the Carnifex, the camera just cuts to a close-up of the 'fex's gnashing face as blood flies through the air.
32	* HumongousMecha: A [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} 40k]] game wouldn't be complete without a suitably massive war machine. [[spoiler: The Orks bring a Stompah to bear for that exact reason. Watch out for those [[GatlingGood Supa-Gatlas!]]]]
33	* InterfaceSpoiler: You don't meet any tyranids before the final acts, but there's a tyranid kill counter on your stats page before that.
34	* LastChanceHitPoint[=/=]AntiFrustrationFeatures: Drop below 15% health and survive, and your health will regenerate back up to 15%.
35	* MoreDakka: Oh yes. You can get power ups that double, triple, or quadruple your every shot. Combine this with the Sternguard's [[MoreDakka special ability]], and, well, the Orks say it best: [[EveryoneHasStandards "Too much dakka!"]]
36	* MultiMookMelee: The Orks, being well- Orks, like to rush you en-masse.
37	* OhCrap: Many players will, after the battle with the [[spoiler:Hive Tyrant]] will think that the final battle against the Warboss will be let down, or at the very least a repetition of the previous boss. That is, up until [[spoiler:you find out he's going to be fighting you in a Stompa.]] [[BringMyBrownPants I hope that power armor has a built in toilet...]][[note]][[CrazyPrepared it does, according to canon]][[/note]]
38	* OneManArmy: One space marine (well, two in co-op) against an army of orkoids and also an infestation of tyranids. Averages around five thousand kills per playthrough.
39	* PowerFist: The Vanguard does one better, wielding a Lightning Claw as his final weapon- a Power Fist with a row of electrified blades protruding from the knuckles.
40	* PowerUp: The powerups in this game all run on a timer, and can be shared between marines if they stay close together. Powerups include [[MoreDakka dual, triple and quad-fire, rapid fire]], [[WalkItOff health regeneration]], [[QuadDamage double melee damage]], [[InvincibilityPowerup invulnerability]] and grenade resupply.
41	* PsychicPowers: Courtesy of the Librarian, but also from the Ork Weirdboy [[BossFight fought on]] level 2.
42	* SicklyGreenGlow: Whatever it is flowing through the Kroozer's "Chem Generator", it sure doesn't look bio-degradable.
43	* SpecialAttack: Each Marine has one.
44	** The Sternguard opens up on his foes with Focused Fire, [[MoreDakka massively increasing his fire rate]] for a short time.
45	** The Librarian wipes out nearby enemies with his [[PsychicPowers Psychic]] [[ShockwaveStomp Shockwave.]] For bonus points, [[YouWillNotEvadeMe it draws in nearby enemies]] before triggering.
46	** The Vanguard fires up his JetPack and [[FoeTossingCharge charges forward,]] cutting down anyone in his way before finishing off with [[StuffBlowingUp an explosion.]]
47	** The Techmarine summons a Tarantula SentryGun onto the field, which auto-tracks and engages foes with [[MoreDakka twin-linked Heavy Bolters.]]
48	* TeleportersAndTransporters: The Orks use "Teleporta" pads to get around the ship quickly. One level has you stuck in the main teleporta complex, which has been isolated from the rest of the ship due to an infestation of Tyranids.
49	* RPGElements: You earn new weapons and perks as you play.
50	* ScoreScreen: After every level.
51	* StuffBlowingUp: And then some. Ork tech tends to be a bit... unstable.
