* ColonyDrop: The Fall of Cadia prologue ends with the Black Legion's ship ramming the carcass of their destroyed Blackstone Fortress to push towards the planet, understandably threatening to kill everyone on Cadia. Heck, the planet even explodes.

Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
The Bullying A Dragon doesn't apply since it's an order from the Cadian High Command to all available vessels to attack the Vengeful Spirit.


* BullyingADragon: Really you're going to attack the Vengeful Spirit. A battleship constructed specifically as the flagship of Horus the first Warmaster of the Imperium of Man. A ship is that has won thousands of battles against thousands of ships and has destroyed hundreds of '''FLEETS''' single-handedly. You're going to attack '''THAT''' ship with 5 light cruisers and a battleship...

* LateToTheTragedy: In the main campaign, Admiral Spire warps out in the aftermath of the Fall of Cadia, arriving just in time to gather the scattered survivors and begin a retribution campaign upon the forces of Chaos.



* RegeneratingShieldStaticHealth: Most ships in the game have DeflectorShields that negate attacks and slowly regenerate over time, protecting the real health that doesn't naturally regenerate. However, shields are a system like any other on a ship and if the system is disabled for one reason or another, the ship is left vulnerable.

to:

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Due to the focus of the game on spaceship battle, almost none of the ground-based conflicts or whatever happens during boarding actions are focused on. One of the most significant examples so far in the game is the boarding of the Wolf Lord Sven Bloodhowl on Abaddon's ''Will of Eternity'', who with the few Space Wolves he brings and no reinforcement, manages to survive inside the hostile Blackstone Fortress full of enemies and who manages to take down its shield, tipping the duel between it and the Imperial Fists' ''Phalanx'' in the Imperium's favour.

However, shields are a system like any other on a ship and if the system generator is disabled for one reason or another, the ship is left vulnerable.

Added DiffLines:

* AsteroidThicket: The battlefields can contain localized Asteroid Fields, which usually act as obstacles and inflict damage to any ship that wants to gor in them, but all immobile ships are considered hidden if they are inside, making the fields useful for ambushes.


Added DiffLines:

* SpaceClouds: The battlefields usually contain several Gas Clouds, localized zones full of gas inside of which a ship can hide. They have their uses as hiding spots and can be used for ambushes.

* BoardingParty: Boarding Actions are an important part of the game which virtually consists of sending your troops inside of a nearby enemy ship to purge the enemy crew or disable key systems. There are several ways to perform boarding, from drop pods to faster teleportation, and not all factions are suited to boarding. A T'au ship for instance may want to keep the Battle Barge and the army of Space Marines waiting in their drop pods very far from it.



* LivingShip: Tyranid bioships.

* EnemyMine: The forces of the Imperium on Cadia are bracing for Abaddon's 13th Crusade but at the beginning, they are also joined by Necron forces led by Trazyn the Infinite who intervenes to raise the planetary forcefield in time. Over the course of the campaign, trailers have shown that the player character Admiral Spire will meet the Ynnari and may join forces with them to control the Eye of Terror.


Added DiffLines:

* SerialEscalation: The first game hinged on the control of the Blackstone Fortresses, but its sequel shows that there are meaner and way bigger ships in the galaxy. The prologue alone showcases the ''Phalanx'', the giant space-bound fortress of the Imperial Fists, designed to house dozens of thousands of Space Marine and dwarfing Abbadon's ''Will of Eternity'' in all aspects.
