Its a nice trailer.
I'm wondering what the Ork Giant Walker will be.
Gorkanaut or a Stompa?
I'm also wondering if they'll update the actual 40K rules for Morkanauts to make them comparable to Knights.

Things have constantly changed over the ages with various revisions. Hell for a long time even just a Marines height was hotly debated over.

However one thing remained true though and that is Marines are not for stand up battles like in the trailer. They are for surgical and brutal precision strikes utilising their rapid deployment and redeployment abilities. They are shock troops of the highest caliber.

Put them in a situation like in the trailer or protracted fights when they can't utilise their strengths and they will start dropping.

Thats exactly what it did. Now the lords have some pesonality.

"See, Obyron, the separatists come – attempting to outflank me just as they did at the Fourth Battle of Vyndakh. How they calculate that daubing themselves green and roaring like savages will produce a different outcome, I cannot fathom; but it is of no account. Ready my legions – another glorious victory shall soon be ours."

I'd say 1, Winter Assault and DC are all damn near mandatory. SS is a bit too similiar to DC for me but I still enjoyed it. Its kinda buggy, you need community patch if you're gonna play it.

1 and Winter assault are "regular" RTS in the sense that each campaign mission is hand made. In DC, the formula is changed up: now you're conquering a whole planet, over two dozen regions and you can pick one of 7 races to play as, though Blood Ravens are the canon winners of DC. To win, you have to conquer all six of your enemies strongholds

The problem is that most of the regular regions are just skirmish maps from multiplayer that have new names, some descriptions and flavour text slapped on em. Dont get me wrong, I think DC is overall the best DC but that was kinda cheap. The Strongholds are hands down the best part of DC. IMO not a single one of them is bad.

The Necrons Lords always had some personality. They were the only ones with it. The changes to the Codex just gave some of their minions personality too.

There was a good fun short story about a Necron Lord impersonating an Inquisitor trying to break into a Necron tomb with the help of some Mechanicus so he could get his staff back.

The rank and file Necron warriors are still the silent death machines they always were.

>>336548315
Well the reason for why I would be technically playing the IG wrong is because I play them like Elder or Space Marines in the sense. I load them up with good weapons, I attach them to a vehicle or a drop-ship and speed around the battlefield doing hit and run attacks. Majority of the kills comes directly from the Basilisks though because they end up pieplating entire swarms of squishy targets while my troopers acted like bait. Problem is that I'm actually a coward and so when I see my troops in real danger I pull them out and position them elsewhere. I don't like to see them getting chopped up unless its for a worthy enough cause.

My actual secret lies in the artillery because thats how I win my wars and I was always playing 1 vs 3 against the AI. Also because I was playing on a shitty labtop I had to stay away from the pitched battles because my games would end up slowly down to a crawl of 8 FPS and thats no good for heated battle against Nids, Necrons and Orks.

Not sure what mean here. Recent books and codexes just kinda pretend they've always been there.

Dont think so. The Knights have "Houses" and like with regular Titans, most imperial commanders have to kind of ask nicely for them to join their campaigns.

The guy is playing against a force you keep entirely in reserve, and enter from your opponents deployment zone on the second turn. Very cheesy.

So this guy fucked him over by deploying a blob of Kroot spread out across his deployment zone so that there would be no valid entry point for the other guy. He wins by default as the other guy never had his army enter the board.

That is a pic from the rules being confirmed.
