Relic teases January surprise for Space Marine
by Steve Watts, Dec 27, 2011 7:00am PSTThe combat walker Dreadnought may be stomping its way into Warhammer 40K: Space Marine in January. Relic Entertainment teased an intriguing image (above). Though the studio didn't use the word "Dreadnought" explicitly, that seems to be the reasonable conclusion from a healthy chunk of the fan community.
The tweet (via Game Infomer) says a "big metal surprise" is coming in January. Users of the official forums quickly agreed that it must be the powerful Dreadnought, and looking at an image from the 40K Wiki we're inclined to agree. The teaser image seems like a dead ringer for the mech suit.
The exact nature of the content hasn't been announced, so the notion of Dreadnought DLC is still in rumor territory. We'll probably hear more details of the big metal surprise soon, since January is just around the corner.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of relic's sales lately ARE NOT 'stellar', they're doing a lot to shoot themselves in the foot:
- CE's being online orders only, really negatively affects your player-base that actually WANTS to buy them.
- TOO. MUCH. D. L. C... Companies flooding their games with DLC are causing more and more people to take the 'I'll wait for the Ultimate Version' approach.
- The 2 steps forward, 3 steps back approach of the Dawn of War Series. It's just like The Sims. DoWII (albeit, an excellent game) should have started with the races they had already developed for the first one, then gone from there, instead of starting over, then hitting us with xpac after xpac of the same stuff.
Don't get me wrong, I really like what Relic has done with Warhammer, I just think this nickel and dime-ing is really going to hurt them in the end.
