* The twin psykers are very frightening. They are almost the same height and build as the Astartes, wearing golden masks shaped into an effigy of a human face, but that's just the least scary aspect. Both of them boast telekinetic abilities that are potent enough to knock aside Space Marines with a single blast, catch bolter shells in midair and hold an Astartes in a psychic grip that he can only barely move in. They're the first real resistance the Retributors encounter, to the point that they have to use a whole other set of tactics to beat them. But the really scary part is that, all things considered, these two aren't actually that powerful in terms of psychic might.
* Part 5 is a grim reminder to the audience that as powerful as [[SuperSoldier the Adeptus Astartes]] are, they are still near the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to the [[EldritchAbomination actual eldritch powers]] within the ship's vault. A mysterious orb that resists the Astartes attempts to contain it and drags them into itself. The space marines are unable to even move once they make contact, and are helpless to stop themselves being slowly absorbed by it. Not even a point blank plasma pistol shot is enough to stop it. The unfortunate marine who tries that gets his arm blown clean off for his trouble.

When he warns the Astartes watching him that the "free" one is going to attack the Astartes, the other does something to the psyker that leaves him twitching spasmodically until he loses control of his powers and is ''immediately'' killed in a brutal fashion by his watchers.
