This is the lore that DEMANDS a MMO! Good.
I hope the Tech-Priest is playable. I will be looking forward to it.

That footage at the beginning of the ships passing through the warp is directly from DoWII...

Tech-Priest is indeed playable. It's the very first class they announce.
 
All that action stuff makes me scared that the whole game will be instanced guild-wars style.

If they do as good a job with this as they did darksiders this could be a good contender.

Why does so many companies feel the need to make an MMO these days?

A long way off until release but not sure if this has enough popular appeal (beyond the usually Warhammer crowd - even the Games Workshop fan only likes their preferred title).

Yeah, I noticed that.  Both THQ properties but still kinda weird.  Oh well, I hope this game turns out solid.  The world could use a good MMO that isn't fantasy based, and the 40K universe is a great one.

 Wonder how much grind people will have to go through. Probably enough to ruin the whole experience like pretty much every other mmo out there.

Yeah, humans, orks, chaos, probably eldar, and maybe tyranids if they're feeling crazy.

So I guess Inquisition stuff will be separate which makes sense since that encompasses quite a few elements.

God I love 40k.  Real space marines are nine feet tall and have no testicles (possibly)

It's kind of sad that even if this game ends up being terrible my dedication to the 40k franchise will result in my playing it anyway :\

Still a few years off but it looks good thus far, even if IoM is an obvious choice.

I think I literally just came a little in my pants after watching that video it got me so excited. This game has potential to be sooooooo good. Please don't be another Tabula Rasa, I don't think my wittle gamer heart could take another space MMO failing.

If your THQ and you need a "transporting troops shot" are you going to pay thousands of dollars to code a new one or use a perfectly good one you currently own.... don't be stupid.

The idea they could balance a Guardsman against a Chaos Space Marine is almost as crazy as Jedi being balanced against a smuggler.

Naturally, the video screams "LOW PRODUCTION VALUES!", but you have to keep in mind that it's an MMO. Compared to every other MMO on the market, it actually looks rather visually intensive. Try out Aion Online or Warhammer Online and you'll instantly see what I mean.
I'm a fan of the 40K universe, and I trust Vigil Games as developers, so I'm looking forward to this one.

Hope it's not like that other Warhammer MMo... 
 
Also, Zaeed is a badass.

Hmm, I wonder if the Chamber Militant and the Officio Assassinorum are going to be put in with the Inquisition if that ends up being a faction all to itself.  But what I kinda hope doesn't happen is what they did with Warhammer Online and they try to force the 'evil' and the 'good' races together, but rather let them all fight each other but I doubt that will actually happen.

There was a bunch of recycled footage from DOW2 in there, right?  Not just the ships exiting the Warp, but some of the gameplay stuff too.

if they're lumping space marines under the 'imperium of man' racial option, then it pretty much confirms Tau (or at least should) considering the variety of different races that make up the Tau, which would lend pretty good to classes, 
 
but yes saying 'you can play imperium of man' in a warhammer trailer is like saying 'you press buttons or click a mouse to play the game'
