Vigil is currently hard at work on Darksiders, but the team has another futuristic game starring musclebound freaks in the works, a game it's been working on for years and years. That game is an MMO set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. This explains why Darksiders' main character looks exactly like a space marine, at any rate.
Anyway, details on this MMO have been under strict lock and key, so today is the first glimpse anybody's ever had of the thing. Kotaku has the goods, with concept art for the game revealing a pretty faithful recreation of the popular Games Workshop universe.
Anyway, go check those out if you're interested.

However, I will admit that I worry after what I've heard about the plain vanilla Warhammer MMO. This game I see as having so much potential, but so many potential pitfalls. My fingers are going to be sore from being permanently crossed now, too.
Now ToR, on the other hand...
it would work better as dark heresy rpg or inquisitor table top than 40k mmorpg... i cant see striking scorpions grouping with techmarines
There is a reason Space Marines are in every game, and mostly the focus.
The Space Marine model line outsells every single other model line they have combined.
It's rather absurd the following Space Marines have.
Agreed. WAAAGH!
At least some info is finally coming out so I can decide whether or not I will regret my inevitable purchase.
Anyways, here's to hoping this turns out to be the spiritual successor to Planetside and not WoW-esque. Online-land needs more divesity.
