Taste Ork blood ahead of the game's release

THQ has announced that they will be releasing a demo of Relic's third-person shooter Warhammer 40K: Space Marine later this month.

There are two different sections to the demo that will give WH40K fans a taste of the some the game's jump pack sequences as well as the shooting action.

The first section sees Captain Titus face off against hordes of Orks at the gates of a munitions factory and features six of the game's weapons including the visceral chainsword and the Space Marine's weapon of choice, the bolter.

The demo launches on Xbox Live and PC on September the 23rd followed the next day by the PlayStation 3 version on PSN.
