As long as it doesnt interfere with the Blood Raven story line. To have the Blood Ravens also fighting the Tyranids just makes me think "they've fought everyone in the universe now" and doesnt lend itself well to an in-depth and intriguing storyline whereas Chaos would have the better storyline. Chaos factions vary in their methodolgy and some of those factions can be rather interesting with deceptions and plot twists.

The battle for Ultramar would be a useful campaign to do. Ultramarines suffering a large assaul from a splinter fleet of Hive Fleet Behemoth, commanding Ultramarines to victory while the corpses of the Tyranids pile up. Whole terminator squads (their whole 1st Comapny IIRC and the two Titans staged at both poles) were decimated and completely wiped out.

The Imperium's greatest warriors (general speak) barely survived a splinter of a hive fleet.

Trailer was awesome, I especially loved the prt where the dreadnought was like "I have come to destroy you" then torches the banshees head.

As for the space marines getting massacred, it makes sense, in all fairness the second wave should have been slaughtered as well. I know space marines are championed in the fluff because they are the "good" guys in the universe of 40k, but the eldar they were fighting here were a lot of tougher guys. They had a couple exarchs and a farseer, if it was the tabletop game the only thing the Eldar would have had problems killing would be the dreadnought. If anything, its a big stretch saying a veteran sergeant could kill a farseer, she would tear him apart normally lol.

I agree with the people saying its going to be Tyranid, I don't think it could be anything else really.

Also, Eldar are basically future elves, so yeah tha's why the farseer has a human face and pointy ears.
