Would Roboute have a dislike towards Titus because of the latter's disregard of the codex?

Nah, Guilliman is like "Guys, it's a book I wrote, a very good book, but is not the fucking Bible."
Exactly. He was quite perplexed after he returned and realized that his book of helpful hints and tips for the battlefield was followed like a step-by-step instruction manual that had to be followed to the letter. He never intended for it to be used the way the Ultramarines have been using it for thousands of years, so he started course correcting almost right away.
Guilliman would probably find Titus to be a breath of fresh air.
Guilliman and Lion are like you've dropped two reasonably normal people into the dark future of 40K.
This looks cool but I hope they push it back to next year when it can actually get the spotlight it deserves. The last game came out right next to Gears 3 and I felt like that slightly doomed it.
"Seriously guys! This so-called 'holy book' that humanity worships, have you got the faintest idea who wrote the damned thing?"
Yup, I want them to meet just for that Guillman would probably be "oh thank fuck"
I am so fucking amped for this godamned game hoooooodoggy
Imagine Robert meeting fucking Leandros LoL it would be like the end of the first game, exponentially more cutting. Like your dad coming to work and agreeing with your supervisor that you're actually a fucking loser :-D
one can dream...

Looks incredible, the first game was so good and this looks to be more of the same just modernized.
So shouldn't Titus of been recruited into the Gray Knights because of his resistance to the Warp?
I believe most of the Grey Knights are Psykers and he isn't. Plus they weren't sure why he had the Warp resistance which is why Leandros sold him out. Grey Knights don't mess with anything they aren't sure is incorruptible.
that makes sense..thank you
are you expecting other factions then Nids in this game? do you think we will fight Chaos as well?
I'm expecting someone else to show up like Chaos did in the first game but I'm curious who it'll be. Would love to see Nekrons or something
The Grey Knights don't recruit adults - they have their own geneseed to implant and it's not the Ultramarines one. It has to be delivered to an adolescent.
What is more likely is what happened at the end of SM 1, that he'd get drafted to be some kind of Inquisitorial attache.
This is always one of my favourite bits of 40k, like how the Space Wolves go from being considered amoral butchers, even by Space Marine standards, during the heresy, to righteous heroes after the first battle of Armageddon simply because everyone around them has become so much worse.
Leandros actually didn't follow the Codex Astartes by going to the Inquisition about Titus instead of going to the Company Chaplain.
Looks great but there better be melee weapons in it as I didn't hear anything about it in the preview.
They talk about the knife and Chainsword and there is no way we don't get jump packs and the hammer back. Hell even the power sword and the axe are iconic af in 40k. They'll be there.
I have this horrible gut feeling we'll see Chaos again and i'd rather it be anyone else. I could maybe stomach more Nemeroth because he's fucking great and i'd love to see him and Titus interact again but Eldar/Dark Eldar or Nekrons would be fucking sweet...
Of course MORE ORKS would be the best possible solution but i'll get over this greivous insult cause this game still looks like solid gold (please SOMEONE give me THIS EXACT GAME where you play as a Nob becoming a Warboss??!! Please??!!)
It's been very refreshing for the 40K narrative to have characters who can openly say "This is fucked, it doesn't have to be so fucked, you know?"
do you guys think it would be cool like if Titus straight up meets with Roboute
think about it your fighting a bunch of nids on a cliff and then you look down and see Roboute just slaughtering 10x more than you are and making it look easy

It would be... interesting to see if they keep his canonical proportions.
Titus will look like a smurf next to him.
Oh there will beLooks great but there better be melee weapons in it as I didn't hear anything about it in the preview.
Nope. In one of the recent books there's actually a scene with him and Uriel Ventris (who infamously disobeyed the Codex), where he makes it clear that the Codex was meant to be guidelines of conduct, and not some rigid combat bible they were to follow forever - especially in the modern setting, when they're fighting enemies that didn't even exist during the Crusade or Heresy.
Guilliman has even come to doubt whether the Legiones Astartes should've been broken up into Chapters in hindsight, which was the most contentious part of the Codex when it was first introduced.
Guilliman yes. The Lion... eh, kinda. Lion El'Johnson is a pretty big asshole. Or perhaps WAS, more accurately. I still hope when the fated meeting between them happens, they bond over their shared disgust at how much the future Imperium sucks lol.
More than the nids? Do people want Titus to die? Just the nids is a System ending event in themselves.
Unless people want the Necrons to show up and ally with the Ultramarines then be too battle weary to fight each other...
The co-op trailer hinted at Chaos, most likely Tzeentch. And we need Chaos for competitive multiplayer if they bring that back.
I mean it's 40k .... there doesn't need to be a good ending LoL
I feel like making Chaos marines and a bunch of different chapter colors and kitbash material stuff for the online could be done without it necessarily meaning they were in the story but yea with Titus as the main character again it feels like bumping heads against some Chaos is a big possibility, your right. Was it some of the dialogue in the CoOp trailer that was hinting at it? time for a rewatch lol
