Ultramarine lad Lieutenant Titus returns for the sequel, having been transformed into one of those even-bigger Primaris Space Marines but demoted from Captain (presumably due to that whole ‘suspected heresy’ thing). After mowing down Ork boyz and forces of Chaos in the first game, now he’s fighting the Tyranids. He’ll be blasting that bolter and swinging his chainsword, force sword, and thunder hammer everywhere from cities to muddy jungle.

Honestly, I’ll miss the Orks. Tyranids look neat and are a serious threat to the galaxy, sure, but Orks have such personality. A battle is so much livelier when your enemies are having a grand old time fighting you. And especially when they keep shouting SPOICE MUHREEN and SPICE MAUREEN. Sinister alien hive minds aren’t as much fun as fun-loving green cockney lads. I do prefer my 40K to beweird, loud, and mucky, like Darktide.
