"Operators are only as strong as the oaths they keep," said the official Call of Duty Twitter account, announcing that Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 will feature skins based on the gothic space satire Warhammer 40,000. Expect skins based on Adeptus Astartes, Adepta Sororitas, Astra Militarum, and more. That means superhuman Space Marines, Battle Sisters, and pathetic Imperial Guard civilians. The Marines are not supposed to be 8 feet tall, because that would make headshots too easy.

Before the words "Fortnitization" start popping out of my mouth, let me say this is not the first "Call of Duty" crossover; CoD already has Tomb Raider, The Boys, both Godzilla and King Kong, Diablo, Spawn, Evil Dead, He-Man, and Nicki Minaj, who is an actual human being, have enjoyed cross-branding. It means there are certain precedents in the marketplace.

I used to play Quake as various Transformers and Snorks characters (basically Smurfs, but underwater), so I understand the appeal. So I can see the appeal. But it wasn't something you could actually pay for, it was an unofficial skin that you could download for free.

In other surprising 40K crossover news, the first-person hose-using PowerWash Simulator was recently blessed with an expansion that lets you clean various vehicles in the 41st millennium; Sean Martin described the game as surprisingly fun, and said, "'The Purification rituals' (or, in 40K parlance, 'watering the dreadnought like it's deep in a Nargle's asshole')," and praises the game's "ability to put you in the shoes of a mechanikum tech-priest who spends his days performing 'rituals of purification.'"
