(Space marines follow Invader Zim's philosophy that the more organs you cram into your body the better.) It helps that my own force seems to have personality, split between cranky veterans of the firstborn marines and the newer primaris variety, who are strengthened by heavier genetic modification. It's just Blood Angels versus tyranids, and fighting the same enemy over an entire game can get old. That sounds promising, but it's not part of the beta so I'm just squinting into the fog of war and guessing at the shape of it. These are only two missions out of a 20-mission campaign, which will have persistent upgrades, loadout options, and a story binding it all together. Though I don't have to scour the fog of war much to find the drizzle of remaining tyranids, playing through foregone conclusions makes for underwhelming finishes to both levels. The previous mission, where I had to take a bunker then hold it for three turns, ended the same way. After turning off all the valves while protecting a librarian dreadnought (a half-dead psychic piloting a mechsuit), the objectives switch to 'mop up the remaining tyranids'. Replaying it, I send my jetpack assault marines instead.
