Storyline

The game tells the story of the Blood Angels chapter embarking on a Hulk with a vengeance, 600 years after failing to capture another Hulk. The DeathWing expansion recounts a crucial period in the history of the Dark Angels' Deathwing chapter as they attempt to save their homeworld. The Genestealer expansion describes the heroic battles against a Genestealer patriarch and his retinue. Although, neither the Deathwing or Genestealer scenarios are situated in an actual Hulk.
