It’s a unique twist about the 40k background. So everything’s in shambles and Roboute Guilliman, after having saved a lot of people (I did have a hearty laugh at the thing with the Blood Angels), is now leading a crusade of Custodes, Sisters of Silence, Imperial Fists and a bunch of strike forces from other SM chapters to relief besieged worlds across the Imperium. It is made clear that many other chapters since have adapted the new technology (new technology! In 40k!) to make their own big-leg- or Primaris Marines. It’s been hinted at since 2nd edition of course, but nobody thought they’d ever actually do it, but the Primarch of the Ultramarines has returned and in true deus ex machina fashion a pal of his had been working on making bigger and badder Marines for 10,000 years and just so happens to be finished now. Things look really, really bad, as they always do in 40k and which of course is the very core of the setti- WOOPIDOO, here’s Roboute Guilliman and his time is now! We of course also learn about the big rift in reality a ton of warp storms emerged, cutting communication within the Imperium, and all kinds of bad things happened. It’s funny how for every new edition of the rules they come up with a new diagram to depict the inner workings of the Imperium and how the different organisations interlock. On the first 180 pages of the book, we learn about the background: the Imperium, the alien races, Chaos, all of that.
