gaggle64 Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 New teaser vid and shots. This what the term "hot shit" was invented for.
Dan_Dare Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 i'm going to put this out there and see how you guys wanna deal with it: that last screen made me soil myself.
Climhazzard Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 i dont understand why this game hasnt got more hype, best rts out there in my opinion. Probly a little biased being a 40k fan anyway.

I'm with you there. Few outside the immediate Warhammer fraternity seem to know about it, but it's easily one of the best RTS's made in the last decade.
Mundi Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 New trailer: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36029.html
gaggle64 Posted July 13, 2008 Author Posted July 13, 2008 This be hot shit. I also read somewhere that you can personalise your commanders command squad in the campaign mode, which will be a Mass Effect esque non-linear mission job.
Dan_Dare Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 ooh excellent we talking an extension of the imperial guard command squad? that was kinda cool.
Noodleman Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I bought the Dawn of War boxset thingy with all the expansions last week, it should arrive tomorrow. I've played the main DOW previously but none of the expansions, it satisfies my inner geek no end. The 2nd one looks the shit but I have no doubt my PC would melt just looking at the DVD let alone trying to run it.
Dan_Dare Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 i play the first online a fair bit noodle. you should join the fray!
Mundi Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Awesome. According to my warhammer 40k loving friend the ending stuff is tyranids. Also, STRIKE FROM THE SKY BROTHERS!
Guest Jordan Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 So essentially, what we're getting is Dawn of War 1 with nicer graphics? I mean, they are only including the three factions? No new units/factions not seen in previous games?
gaggle64 Posted July 17, 2008 Author Posted July 17, 2008 Those are the only factions they've shown so far. It's not due out until spring next year, so I imagine they'll be unveiling stuff up until release. Destructable environments look good too.
Dan_Dare Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 so far we've got 4: Orks, Marines, Eldar and Tyranids. Presumably, Chaos and The Guard will make an appearance too.
Mundi Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 I´ve been wondering, after nids is there anything new they can add as a faction?
Dan_Dare Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 not that I know of. I'd like to see them try sub factions. In the case of marines, Blood Angels would get their beserker marines and dark angels would have Deathwing (super elite) Terminators. Chaos could have different units for the 4 chaos gods. stuff like that. I'm not sure what Eldar would get but the guard have hundreds of thousands of worlds, most of which have their own tactics and such. I'm sure they could do a few of those.
gaggle64 Posted July 17, 2008 Author Posted July 17, 2008 There are quite a few units they could add in that weren't in the first DoW for each faction, or were recently introduced into the tabletop game - psychic Ork units for example.
Mundi Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 I think their called weird boys right? Also an Ork terminator would be grand.
Dan_Dare Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Also, I was never sure why Landspeeders never got weapon options. That, please. And those smaller wraith droids the eldar use. Orks already got their 'terminators'- Mega Armour Nobz.
Mundi Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Sorry I got terminators confused with Dreadnoughts. So correctly: Ork Dreadnoughts would be grand sorry.
The fish Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 they already have those, too. Killer Kans. I remember reading a review of the original DoW in an issue of PC Gamer I purchased at random some time back, and if memory serves, Killer Kans eat Marines, don't they? I've thought about getting the original + expansions for a while, I just have doubts over my laptop's capabilities...
