The Warhammer 40k universe has been going on for nearly thirty years now, and as such its a bit ambitious to expect everyone to know what in the blazing hells is even going on.

And if you're interested in some actual gameplay footage, the developers have just recently posted a preview of all the different units and their 'roles' in the Orkish army.
