DAWN OF WAR 3

>>336445128
So, can anyone confirm that most probably what we see in the trailer is essentially a Khorne battlegrounds in the Warp where all warriors go after death?
>>336445128
Wow, space marines guys sure are a bunch of cry babies, and they are getting their ass kicked by everything.
Must suck being human in that game lol
>no baddies space marines
dropped
>No Tau
>No Necron
>No Chaos
No buy.
>>336445207
They are bullshots, people have been doing comparison images to show where they've just photoshopped the same things over and over. We don't know what the game actually looks like.
>>336445841
So you'll buy the three expansions with those races?
>>336445450
That's the thing. The pile of bodies is extremely reminiscent of Khorne, but it could also have something to do with the weapon everyone is fighting for on that world.
Or, most likely, the two are very much related, and the weapon is an artifact of Chaos. Some of the journalists that Relic spoke to said that the three races are what's revealed "so far," and that Relic never officially stated that there would be only three on release.
>>336446097
Sure, 5 years down the line when the whole package is 10 bucks on sale.
>>336446097
It's Sega. I will buy DLC for this races and another DLC for campaign with this races like COH 2...

You are on /v/ at 5 AM, and you play video games.
I wanna play the first game. I've got four things in my steam library - GOTY edition, Dark Crusade, Soulstorm, and Winter Assault. Is there any particular order to playing them or do I just dive in to whichever? I assume they all have different campaigns? If so, which one lets me fight with da boyz?

About This Game
Step into a brutal battle between three warring factions
Source: Steam store page.
>>336446635
>>336446635
Not that guy but there is actually a good bit on the actual website that points towards Chaos being involved; just not as a playable race.
>ancient and deadly weapon at stake
>eldar are one of the playable factions
>something more dangerous than expected on said planet
We both know that the Eldar are always involved because of the forces of Chaos, their great enemy. It obviously isn't a Titan at stake because why the fuck would Eldar care? Which leaves us with an powerful, magic artifact just like in most of the DoW games. And who is always looks for those? That's right the Bloodravens.

Wouldn't surprise me, it's Sega after all. It's amazing how much shit they get away with while people are busy (legitimatelly) shitting on Ubi and EA.
its finally habbenign
praise the Emperor
>>336446631
Chronological order is
>GoTY, WA, DC, SS.
When I got them, I played them in order and I don't regret it.
>>336446635
Planetside: 40K edition.
>autists demand huge battles and base building
>there will be 100s of threads at launch about performance issues and latency
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
>>336445128
Is there a specific class of space marines that are thinner than the other ones or is GW just retconning their whole physique?
It makes sense that the emperor had armor like that, as he wasn't superhumanly muscular as far as I know but it looks weird for the astartes.
>>336447441
That sounds pretty awesome actually.
>>336445207
This, going to be an easy mode game trying to pander to non-gamers. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up becoming an actual fucking MOBA. Art style seems to point that way.
The trailer was also atrocious despite all the people getting hyped about that.
>>336447551
And how is that the fault of the players, and not the devs who can't code worth shit and/or sega for rushing the game out?
>>336446157
Are the bodies really reminiscent of Khorne? No brass, no sea of boiling blood, and their whole bodies rather than just skulls.
I get a Great Devourer maw vibe from it but its probably not that, metaphor for just the meat grinder that is war? Iunno, I found this whole trailer very artistic so maybe I'm reading into shit that ain't there. God it was fucking metal.
>>336447551
>Graphics look worse than DoWII
>Implying performance issues
>>336447552
Thats how their physique has always been, when compared to other marines they look thin and normal, but when up against normal humans it's clear just how huge they are.
I mean look at their size compared to the Orks in the trailer, they are pretty thick.
>>336447552
Well, this is what they look like in the current codex.
>>336447697
they look like minis
but I don't feel like they should look like minis
>>336447628
Its going to be MOBA you only have to read this http://www.pcgamer.com/dawn-of-war-3-inside-relics-biggest-rts-yet/
>>336447697
Those Wraithguard are too big.
They are almost wraithlord sized.
>>336447749
I know this is poor bait, but I'm going to bite for another purpose
>Blood Ravens
>even slightly mentioned just once in the current codex
I shiggy.;_;They don't care about any chapter that isn't first founding anymore.
>>336447759
They don't even look like the friggin minis, at least not decently painted ones.
They look like cheap 3d models with some weird cell shading going on, nothing more.
>>336445128
Limited base building of DOW2 > basebuilding of DOW1
its shallow anyway and all it does is distract you from battles
>>336447775
What are you talking about? I have some wraithguard minis right here. They are taller than the current terminator casts by a good amount. In fact, I'd say they are perfectly proportioned against Gabe right there in the front of that screenshot.
>>336447697
Looks like concept art, the game is probably not finished
>>336447121
>Ubi
fuck Ubi, they have in the past simply refused to release a patch on steam, even though people were asking for it a lot (its there for retail, but not on steam), they didnt even have the decency to explain why the patch isnt released on steam
>>336447697
It fucking should. I imagine that the clear art style might be for easier microing closer to traditional RTS.
Previous games looked more realistic and a lot of the control was left to floaty feeling AI.
>>336447954
See here:
>>336447853
Yes, the new Wraithguard are big, but not as big as they are in that screenshot. The Dire Avengers in that picture barely reach to the kneecap of the Wraithguards.
>>336447843
For what it's worth there was a Blood Ravens character in that new Genestealer game.
>>336447853
the falcon really looks like a plastic mini while the imperial titan looks like a warmachine warjack
>3 races
why are games workshop so jew?
>>336446923
sounds more like crons desu senpai
>>336448065
I think the point is better presented as the other eldar are much too small. Compare the DA to Gabe.
>>336445128
How is this possible?
It looks realer than real life
>>336448065
>>336448138
I mean, look at this.
That said, I get the feeling they aren't going for proper proportions. They seem to be attempting the thing that WCIII did so well with units being exaggurated in certain ways to make them stand out easier in combat. For example, the torsos of ork grunts grew like 40% when they swung a weapon. In this case, basic troops will be left small and out of focus, while the big, important ones are bloated to stand out and make it easier for you to pay attention to (as well as click on).
>Dem Deff Dreads
IT'S A GOOD UN, BOSS
>Gabriel Angelos
>Gorgutz
>...Macha?
So I guess this game takes place before Retribution?
eldar in the trailer have some great textures, I always hated how in all previous dow games they looked like cheap plastic, I wonder if their in-game models look like that
>>336448138
>>336448290
I think that it is both the Wraithguard being a bit too big (compare those fuckers to the Falcon), and the Eldar being too small, which ads up to the Wraithguard looking about the size of fucking Wraithlords when they stand in the midst of the other Eldar.
>>336448351
after, you can see gabes new cybernetics from after he got slammed by kyrus
>>336446157
>>336445450
It's a reference to the fact that the game is a moba with base building. The piles of bodies represent the mobs you're going to be churning through while controlling your elite squad(s).
>>336448290
>basic troops will be left small and out of focus, while the big, important ones are bloated to stand out and make it easier for you to pay attention to (as well as click on).
That's gonna look like utter shit.
why are blood angels so much better than the other space marine factions?
>>336447960
>>336447697
This is a mockup
Real assets copy pasted together.
So what you're seeing is what you'll actually see, but this isn't an actual screenshot, it's a mockup of what they want the game to look like, with units copypasta'd from some other source.
>>336448565
>Blood Angels
Those vampire faggots can go back to getting eaten by nids and allying with necrons. Blood Ravens and Black Templar are where its at.
>>336448367
Can confirm after busting out old models they are just about size of wraithlords in trailer
>>336448290
These troops are literally copy pasted into the screenshot. The perspective is all kinds of fucked up.
>>336448626
That would explain why shadows are so hit and miss. Especially with the assault marines.
>>336448309
They're civilized enough for using toilet? I bet space marines just poop in their armor.
>>336448364
Google Zdzisław Beksiński and Wayne Barlowe
pretty obvious where they're getting their inspiration from.
>>336445128

>>336448650
>even necrons give gifts to BR
>>336448309
>orks are more civilized than poo in the loos
>>336449130
Well obviously. Blood ravens are the most popular chapter in the universe. No wonder they receive so many gifts.
>>336448907
Gotta have somewhere ta do your drops when away from The Drops
Yes, Orks have communal shit holes
>>336449130
Wait just one fucking second. Is this Cypher's plasma pistol? His is the only Imperial plasma gun in all of 40k to never misfire, and he wields it in his left hand. There isn't any reference to Cypher apart from the name (Left Hand), but that description is spot on.
>>336449608
>>336449130
Woops, attached wrong image.
>>336449597
do you have the story of the goff boy who drives his buggy into the drops, visits some mech boyz making a portal gun to launch grotz through, then starts a fight between the goffs and the deathskullz since they're trying to loot his buggy?
It is the most orky story I've read and it always gives me a laugh
>>336449917
Fraid not, friendo, sounds like a blast though. Will the story of the first Gargants suffice?
>>336447551
latency? in campian? why would I play with dirty homos from internet?
Nope.
Trailer was good, what I dont like is how Mahreens are kinda thin. On the other hand Eldar narrator gave me diamonhard boner.
Also worth noting...Eldar armour is fuckin WRAITHBONE MADE, it looks creepy as hell and I love it.
![italian-white-alabaster[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/CwEKofH.jpg "italian-white-alabaster[1].jpg")
>>336448364
So what is wraithbone supposed to look like?
I dig this new style, but I thought it's supposed to be smooth matte white, something like alabaster.

>Vidya on his left shin
>>336450135
Oh, I actually have no idea, I havent played tabletop and dont know much about the lore, I am talking purely in term of visuals, and the trailer version is amazing, while in dow1 adn dow2 they looked like toys
>>336447905
fuck off to your lol
>>336450290
have you played dow2 multiplayer? its a lot more fun than dow1, even the way it handled the limited building was well done, you had to choose your commander before battle and, for example, the SM and CSM had an engineer who could build turrets, fortifications and healing stations. The IG could request bunkers, and a range of smaller fortifications and turrets/mines. Orcs didnt build at all. It gave different factions distinct flavour and mechanics on the battlefield
>>336450160

>>336450479
Vidya means knowledge in Hindi or whatever, it's not a /v/ reference
>>336448886

>>336450416
Its Warhammer, you play it with units and/or heroes/uber units.
Dont call it RTS when you dont have full units.
>>336450667
How do you know that /v/ isn't a hindi reference?
>>336451106
Because we poo in the loo
>>336450416
Sounds like you should like DoW3 - they are trying to mix the best of both worlds. Yes, the heavily requested base-building and larger-scale battles from DoW1 are back, but the pre-determined commanders, the unit special abilities and customization, and tactical side of DoW2 is also staying.
More importantly, for me, it seems they've also taken a page out of UA's book and have given everyone superweapons and titans as a way of closing up late game. I always thought UA was a good example of how DoW1 and 2 could be mixed (accepting engine limitations), and I'm stoked Relic also sees merit in it.
Having 3 elite choices before battle, which mixes HQ's and Lords of War, will also be an interesting change.
>>336451331
>>336450416
Oh, and to add, it seems that space marines get drop pods stock now for marines. THAT will be the fluffiest way of deploying them out of all the games.
>>336450014
That is great, lemme try to find the other story, it's just like that but it's a slice of life for orkz.

>>336450479
Azariah Vidya - The Librarian Azariah Vidya was the Master of the Chapter Librarium during a campaign in the Gothic Sector, in which the Blood Ravens had taken terrible losses putting down a series of Chaos-inspired rebellions against the Imperium. During this campaign, the Chapter Master and the Master of Sanctity were both killed in a trap, and it seemed that the Blood Ravens were to be exterminated as a Chapter. Azariah spent much time studying the movements and reactions of the enemy, using the Imperial Guard and his own depleted Battle-Brothers in a series of feinted attacks. Using this information, as well as his potent psychic powers, he launched a series of raids against seemingly empty areas that turned out to be important staging areas for the Chaos Cultists. For his skill in crushing the rebellion, Azariah was raised to become the Blood Ravens' Chapter Master, as well as continuing to hold his previous position as the Chapter's Chief Librarian. Vidya is the single Space Marine most revered by Blood Ravens. While he is not believed to have been active at the time of the Chapter’s Founding, he is credited with being the true founder of many of the Chapter's traditions. The Blood Ravens refer to him as the Great Father, a term that other Chapters might use to identify their Primarch or even the Emperor. Such a degree of idolatry expressed towards a fellow Battle-Brother is certainly uncommon but seems to fulfil the void in the Chapter’s iconography due to the lack of knowledge concerning which Primarch's lineage they can call their own. Vidya's apprentice and successor as Master of the Librarium and eventual Chapter Master of the Blood Ravens, Azariah Kyras, succumbed to the taint of Chaos during his time on the derelict Space Hulk Judgement of Carrion.
I add this to the discussion.
The factions in the trailer and screenshots had a certain colour to them.
Space Marines-Red-Blood Ravens
Eldar-Green-Biel-Tan
Orks-Yellow-Bad Moonz
We are missing blue, I will assume that it is Chaos and it's a Tzeentch Warband allied with Thousand Sons. Greater Daemon is the Lord of Change. Blood Ravens discover their past and leads to epic storyline.
I feel the trailer was implying that the three factions so far are being lured in to fight each other so that Chaos can take advantage.
>>336448364
Id welcome a more organic looking wraithbone, maybe limit it to a specific craftworld though.
Just imagine what they can do should they make a trailer for tyranids or chaos or the mechanicus on the same vibes of this one.

Everything is made by a Bonesinger. I'm more of a Deldar guy, so I can't/won't fight the point, but I don't see why or how it wouldn't be wraithbone when all of everything else they make is.
Failing that, there's nothing stopping them from painting their sword ashen.
>>336453371

What reason could they possibly have to add a pick ban phase if this wasnt the case?

so its a power sack.
>>336453158
I always wondered why these settings don't make up more words. Like, scorpions, that's probably a long extinct animal from a human planet, why the fuck are the eldar using that word y'know? shouldnt they be named after some native animals from eldar worlds?
In case any of you STILL haven't figured it out, it's a squad based moba where you build creep spawners.
>>336453409
Earlier games and everything else always had eldar swords made of some kind of metal or similar stuff

I actually feel like they are setting themselves up for the long run.
I mean first they were testing the waters with that free necron hero for dow 2. Now they announce a 3 race only dow 3, i feel like they plan to add something like IG and chaos in an expansion and then slowly the rest.
I mean the thing in the cinematic does look a lot like the skull throne. And eldar usually are around when chaos meddles in someones affairs. And IG is a nice canon fodder adition to the game.

As usual, Anons flip their shit because they can't read and most of them have never touched warcraft 3 or even dota for that matter.
it's clear they're going for a more competitive multiplayer friendly approach because that's what todays gaming is all about,you gotta fit in or fall to obscurity

There is nothing inherently bad about counter picking, and this is the way to go if you have to decide on what units you will be able to use before the game begins.

>>336463686
They addressed why they decided to do that though.
They got extra money from sega to do a chaos as a pre-order DLC as they didn't plan on having chaos be a major player in the first game. And sega are willing to allocate money to a pre-order DLC because it does boost first day sales.
>>336464056
Not the guy you replied to but even if that's the case, most people won't know that and will take it as a dick move and hurt sales more than not.
>>336463764
you install apocalypse and/or stop reinforcing squads
>>336450719
how else will they be able to release it on console?
>>336464175
Yeah. That was the problem, poor communication. I can't blame anyone for thinking that was cut, not necesarily. They released a big post about the whole thing later on.
https://forums.totalwar.com/discussion/164869/total-war-warhammer-dev-blog-chaos-warriors-pre-orders-and-dlc
"
So in TW: Warhammer’s case, we had our four main playable races sorted, and we’ve planned for Chaos to have a big role to play later in the trilogy. But we really wanted Chaos Warriors in the main game, even without DLC – to give a big, bad end of game "boss" enemy Race for all players. But we couldn’t do that within the resources for the main game. So we added it as the pre-order incentive that also gets sold on day one – making Chaos Warriors fully playable but also giving us the extra resources to add them as an Ai race for everyone."
But yeah, the problem reamins the layman doesn't know how games are budgeted and certainly doesn't know the ins and outs of your budget.

>>336464614
Well, one of the few positive things about SEGA's DLC policy is that I'm pretty sure they will make Relic fill the game to the brim with DLC armies, so we might see factions not usually seen in vidya.

>>336446631
Play DoW first, then Winter Assault, since it has some backstory (tiny amount, honestly) present in Dark Crusade. Winter Assault is a lot stricter in terms of objectives than DoW though. Dark Crusade next, it has 7 indentical campaigns.
Ignore Soulstorm - just read about the Dark Eldar and Sisters of Battle on the Lexicanum
>>336466801
Can't tell whether that's a Nurgle or Slaaneshi cultist
>>336446923
The Bloody Magpies are fucked though right? I mean their chapter should be well and truly fucking depleted along with their recruitment world so..I really hope it's not those guys again. Need me some Dark Angel shit
>>336467151
Pretty sure it has to be blood ravens becuase GW don't let them fuck around with story stuff for the other chapters. so if they want to have a story that matters they need to use their own chapter.
>>336467041
Do the sound marines actually bring bass beat with them to battle?
>>336467151
Why not bring in Ultrasmurfs or Gay Knights and place Matt Ward as lead producer and CS Goto as lead narrator.
Excellent game 10/10

If any army should benefit from the larger scale, it would be them.

have you forgotten what this entire setting was made to sell
>>336467530
Nids, Orks and IG. Those should be the first announced factions but we have to have muhrens.
>>336467530
The things falling from the sky are bodies.
What confuses me is that there isn't a 'rainfall' so to speak of random bodies like they got flung or gravity was inverted, but at least 3 'spouts' with bodies falling in showers.
That smacks of something bigger.
>>336467530

watch the cinematic again.

Doesn't look like a bullshot to me, just early stuff.
Bullshots are flattering, this is an actual environment with individual shadows, a shitload of projectiles and a ton of effects for something that's hardly worthy of Photoshop.
Where's the idea of a bullshot come from?
>>336449082
Noticed that too.
Pic related is Beksinski as fuck.
That actually hyped me up for some E.Y.E.
>>336445128
what the hell where those space marine mechas at the end?
also, did wraithlords get a revamp?
>>336468286
I hope so because it looks like ass
>>336467892
>3 'spouts' with bodies falling in showers
Those 3 spouts are only at the end to line up with the III in the title.
>>336467942
They could be both a reference to the amount of death in 40k and a subtle nod to the nids.

Take an eldar unit remove interesting psyker powers, lower defence, add spikes, poison damage and the mascara you wore during high school then strap everything to an under-costed jetbike and you have Deldar.
DE are the least interesting and least fun race they only exist because warhammer must have drow.
Which imperium chapter is closest to the chaosfun?
>>336467956
They used to be heavy metal, but that stopped being loud and edgy and cool to the general public sot WUBWUBWUBSCREEEEE took over.
It's kind of funny looking at the history of this game going from a sort of cheesy glamrock aesthetic to the brown n bloom grimfest we have today.
>>336467443
I'm not up to date with Wardhammer, Grey Knights Dreadnought Terminators or some shit right? A Dreadnought for dead Dreadnoughts, Grey Knight only, with them so individually powerful each one can destroy a greater demon on their own and carve their names onto their hearts..etc?
I hope none of that makes it into the game.

why are the bodies falling from the sky?
portals or something?
the warp is tossing back all the dead bodies of a consumed planet?
>>336468684Blood Ravens
>>336468979
Why do the Astartes shit on the IG?
Do the Astartes have no respect for their brothers in arms?
>>336468352
These are the Imperial Knights, warmachines of the semi independent fraction allied with Adeptus Mechanicus iirc, and the other ones are Wraithknights, both are just something between big walkers or dreadnoughts and the proper, epic scale titans.
>>336465567
Pros:
Loads of content
Tons of fun
Battles get HUGE
Several added factions
Cons:
Games can run really long if people manage to reach higher tiers
Some players will just sit around until they can afford nukes
Some stuff is pretty poorly balanced (DEldar super structure is a pain in the cock, SM orbital beacon upgrades make Eldar shrouds within 1000000km useless, Nuklear Bomma is a waste of resources)
Crashes become more likely, esp. on crap machines
