>two days after the trailer, nobody cares
fo shame
>>336542228
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.
Should I get DoW 2 Retribution DLC? Or can I pirate it
>>336542228
What the fuck do you want us to do, just endlessly repeat the same "Looks cool/Artstyle sucks/Give bases pls" speculation?
We have a cinematic trailer and like 5 screenshots, there's nothing else the fuck to talk about until we actually see some gameplay.
>>336541734
Why is he smiling?
>>336542772
Because he gets to die for the Emperor.
>>336542772
He's happy :o)
>>336542371
Buy DoW1 with all the expansions.
Fuck DoW2.
>NEVER EVER
>>336542869Soul gets sent to Chaos.
>>336542359
Its confirmed one of the heroes for Ork is a Gorkanaut
Im actually excited to see how the game comes out, I don't feel right judging a DoW game based on a few alpha gameplay screenshots
>>336542496
I just like talking about crazy shit that happens in Warhammer, I picked up Ultimate apocalypse and have been playing that a lot, mostly the Demon hunter inquisition
I used to hate warhammer (because I thought bolters were stupid weapons) but I realized I just didn't understand how fucking badass it was
I'll leave this pic here to generate some discussion I suppose, I always like this one necron sounds like a true bro
>>336541734
No Tau, no buy.

>>336543417
It has basebuilding.
No one wants Beta Bolter Bitches.

Will we see Force Commander Hairgel ever again?
They're gonna be in Dawn of war 3, right?

Don't get DOW 2 then because it's COH tier.
Not a huge fan of pure CGI trailers but this was a good one. Fucking Angry Joe going full tourettes in his reaction video because a reveal trailer didn't have gameplay in it.
>>336544038
w-whats wrong with CoH?
>>336543850
Titanium Wars mod, go do it now.... tremble and despair as the AI kicks your shit in.
GUARDSMEN VERSUS CHAOS STRONGHOLD, AHAHAHAHA.
I went through that grinder nine times before I beat it. I wish I took screenshots of it though.
>>336543894
Fuck me that's rough
>>336544084
Yea, but at least you could see it has quite a high production value, so at least they are valuing quality. Compare that to that sad excuse of a warhammer game that was planned to be the 40k mmo.
>>336544084
Angry Joe doesn't know a single fucking thing about WH40K, he can go choke on that fat "Other Joe" gayboy beaners nutsack
>>336542371
Absolutely, DoW 2 is better than 1.
>>336543434
How do you change currency from € to KR?
>>336542984
>Terrible fashion sense
Am I the only one who always thought the Noise Marines looked like the coolest marines?
>>336544468
If you live in a non-EU country it does it automatically. Norway is not part of the EU.
>>336542973
Unless that Marine is a psyker, he wouldn't even be aware of the afterlife.

This has got to be the happiest fucking spesh maareen that I have seen in a very long time I mean just look at him. Pure. Fucking. Bliss
>>336544470
Do you think a Noise Marine gets pissed of if another Noise Marine is louder than him? Is that how they measure worth?
>>336544470
They look fucking badass, some of the coolest guns as well
I really like the way chaos marines look in general, especially plague marines
I thought Space Marines were supposed to be tough, yet they get their shit kicked in by orcs.
>>336544764
imagine sniffing the armpits of what is left of the man in that suit
>>336544764
>>336544470
Is a squad of Noise Marines called a band?
>>336544470
>how to kill your enemies?
>blast them with really loud music until their ear drums explode and their bones shatter from the sheer acoustic force.
I've always wondered what kind of sound blasts from their boomboxes though, is there any description as to what the sound is?
>>336544891
I imagine the armpits have melted/sloughed off and pooled up around the knee or waist
Just imagine him taking the suit off and basically pouring out of it, fucking metal
Gorgutz confirmed back
>>336544629

>>336544891
You'd probably die, like your skin would literally melt and your lungs would implode.
>>336545037
They couldn't move then
>>336544854
Yeah, I don't follow the lore or anything, but from what I've seen from other discussions I thought Space Marines where Mary Sues.
>>336544854

They're not. Writers can make them out to be though. Space Marines getting their asses destroyed gives you a perspective of how scary these aliens are for normal people
>>336544854
Because Orks are stubborn and also tough, and there are many more of them.

>>336545249
Does anyone have that video of the Guardsmen in the bunker talking to each other and then the noise marines appear outside and start knocking on the door?
>>336545113
When I was in highschool my friend mentioned something about wh40k and he said "it seems to be something that people that like to overcompensate in everything and for people who will never amount to anything" Of course, the latter was just his ignorance peering through, but he didn't realize that former hit the nail directly on the head.
everything is equally horrifying in the wh40k universe
>>336542984
Looking for "something to put up a struggle", is that Ork fine with groups or only strong enough individuals?
>>336545465
No, there's plenty of official material. Novels are inconsistent across different authors, subject to bias, and are little better than fan fiction in terms of legitimacy.
>>336545570
Well what do you consider official material? It strikes me like star wars, there's so many fucking books
>>336544978
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcyFv0AnX6M
It's not just the loudness that kills, it's the sheer incomprehensibility of bliss/agony that it brings in its purest form that destroys the mind and body.
Is this band liked among 40k fans? Someone linked me it but I have never seen anyone post it in threads
>>336542984
Will the Adepta Sororitas let me hump her leg like a dog?
>>336545617
Codex/army books, campaign books and supplements, etc. Novels are always inconsistent with regards to details of the 40K universe.
>>336545465
>>336545570
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.

INITIATE
>>336546018
It was fine for what it was. The problem is that it was a different style of game to DoW1 which throws a lot of people off.
What we need and will never get is a 40K Close Combat style game.
>>336546094
I'm guessing all the DOW2 lovables will remain unmentioned or brief cameos
>>336546012
>>336546012
Kek. I'll have to listen to more of these guys. Can't find a torrent sadly, youtube it is
Hey guys, just a reminder all these games are on GoG, first time digitally ever

I wonder if the old torrent I made for /tg/ with all the old WHFB and 40K games is still floating around.
We need a Final Liberation 2.
>>336546459
That is what happens when you save scum through a mod with an experience system that resets, this applies to enemies too.
>>336546604
I know, he is GOAT no matter his role. Sgt. Merrick was a good role for Scott too.
>>336546610
Is the guy playing COMMISAR HOLT still around?
It won't be a good sequel otherwise.

I hope the Necrons are in III. Someone in a previous thread said the passages the narrator is quoting is from a necrons codex or something, so I'm hopeful.
>>336544461
Thats cruel man, why are you trying to trick him like that.

Maybe try reading anything they released on the game? You are such a child http://www.allgamesdelta.net/2016/05/warhammer-40000-dawn-of-war-iii.html
>>336546703
The fact that they just added a Necron DLC character to DoW 2 Last Stand mode seems like a hint that they will. I really hope so at least.
I hope there will be Imperial Guard DLC.
I just want to see swarms of Tanks and Infantry advance across the field destroying Xenos scum.
The emperor is dead
>>336543434
Get it from G2A, it's like $3
The DoW franchise pack is only $16 on G2A also
>>336546651
I tried Titanium Wars a month or so ago as IG. I failed miserably in my very first battle against the Necrons.
I shudder to think what their stronghold is like. I'm playing with DC with the Skirmish AI Mod right now, after that I hope to "graduate" to Titanium Wars.
>>336546198
I wouldn't count on them being completely forgotten.
>Hairgel
Now around eye of terror, busy being punishedby daemonette dicks in his ass..
>Tarkus
Either dead or alive, depends on if you take the game, or the novel as canon. So 90% chances of him being alive, possibly returning as some honor guard sargeant tier unit.
>Avitus

It's not a trick, it's the truth.
>>336546680
Even if he is not, the mantle could be passed.
I just want more turn based stuff with Titans and what not. Armageddon was ok for what it was, though still not necessarily worth their asking price, but I want another Final Lib complete with live action cutscenes. Tis beauty.
>>336545113
Then you dont understand the lore at all
>>336546831
I'm reasonably sure they will add IG. Not before Chaos though, assuming it isnt in the game.
>>336546925
Never go after the Chaos stronghold until you have full honor guard, you'll need them to hold your base.
>>336546972
The billion hp only happened because I was a dumbass on that playthrough of the necron stronghold.

There are a bunch of Super Heavy tank variants. The Baneblade is just the most well known.
>>336547021
The ONLY good parts of retribution are Ork campaign and last stand. Everything else is mediocre.
With all campaigns being literally the same missions ork one wins by the virtue of playing orks.Shame it wasn't Gorgutz 4.0 - Aurelian boogaloo
>>336546420
I don't care who he's voicing. As long as he, the Dobson brothers, and Brian Drummond as Gorgutz are in the game I'm happy.

Its at that moment when you realize just how fucked you really are when they start mowing down your shit like swiss fucking cheese. Mind you I only just one that game by a hair in getting one of my squads to drop directly into their power generator and blow it up with a charge. God bless those magnificent bastards though.
>>336546703

They're just big silent robots, unless the latest Codex retcons that.

Maybe oldcrons were like that but last I heard they are more along the lines of WE WUZ TOMBKANGZ N SHEIIT YO. Sort of sucks in a way because they took some of the spunk out of them that made them a force reckoned with.
>>336541734
Is that not DoW 2's Force Commander?

>unless the latest Codex retcons that.
Thats exactly what it did. Now the lords have some pesonality.
I know it wont happen but I wish they put in Zahndrekh. He seems like he'd be a fun villain.
"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."
—Nemesor Zahndrekh to Vargard Obyron, prior to the crushing defeat of WAAAGH! Bludtoof
>>336547617
For the glory of the Imperium.
>>336547483
The unstoppable horror aspect is all you need for them to be a good villain. Make the game a desperate battle for survival as they just keep coming and it's all good.
Which of the original dawn of war games should I buy?
What is the difference between all of them?
>>336547683
Right now its basically a janky Space Marine

I will say this though with the Apoc was how amazing my Kill/Death raito was man. One game I remembered spesically was a 6 free for all against the AI with my playing the IG, My forces took out a total of about an estimated 20,000 units against a loss of about 50 of my own. My actual face when I was playing the Imperial Guard so wrong but it worked out so brilliantly in the end.
>>336547669
No, the Force Commander wasn't bald
>>336544854
Fluff has them as ultra hardcore fucks but they really comparable to troops of all other races. Their sue-ness comes from a handful being able to absolutely wreck shit when its needed.

>>336547728
DOW, Winter Assault, Dark Crusade for single player:
DOW = best introduction to the setting, campaign is Space Marines only
Winter Assault = best mission variety, shit story
Dark Crusade = best heroes, good risk style campaign
Soulstorm for multiplayer and mods
>No Necrons
>No Nids
>No Chaos
DROPPED!
>>336547728
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.
>>336547728
Soulstorm, its the most up to date version of the game.
>>336547808
You lucky fuck I barely get out of each battle A.I or player with my hair carrying some hint of none gray hair prior to the battle. How did you turn the tide if you were playing wrong because I find myself cheesing the hordes once and awhile.
>>336547698
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.

There will be one of these, Anon, I'm absolutely certain of it. No way are they gonna do just SM, Eldar and Orks. They gotta have one wildcard.

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.

Did something happen to where Dark Crusade and Soulstorm had their reactions switched? I remember DC being THE way to go MP-wise up to 2009, with Soulstorm being hailed as a soulless cash-in with flying units hacked-in that did nothing for the gameplay

Vanilla = Pretty good campaign, dead as shit online
WA = Mediocre campaign squashes races together in a good vs evil scenario
DC = Awful campaign, dead as shit online, broken mess of a game, horrendusly unbalanced and full of glitches that were never fixed
SS = Pretty bad campaign expanded version of the DC one, online is still active, by far the most balanced version of DoW1 with the most content.
>>336548729
SS got some basic bugfixes and now DC multiplayer is dead. It still has a better single player campaign than SS.

Oh yessssssssss, Chaos stronghold is hell prepare to kill multiple daemon princes at once if I'm remembering right.
Oh right, I'm remembering the Ork stronghold being absolute hell... good luck with that.
Never got to even kill the blue commies, they were taken out early in the game by the blood ravens.
>>336547808
But this is exactly how you were supposed to be playing IG.
Early on your units are piss weak, and you just hide them in buildings making some sort of a bunkerwall, later on you just obliterate everything with superior firepower before it can come close (emperor protect you if anything comes close tough).

DC in general has good banter. Alexander has nice jab at Thule when you capture the temple in the BR stronghold mission:
>Thule: You tread in places for which you are ill prepared, Governor.
>Alexander: I'm quite comfortable in a temple of the God-Emperor, Captain. But perhaps you are not?
Not quite on Gorgutz level but still pretty good.

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.
I think thats how it is, at least. Havent really read all there is to read about them.
>>336549603

>>336549502
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.

>>336550120
Why exactly are they immune?
>>336549963
The whole sterilization thing is just from the DoW games. It doesn't exist in the actual TT fluff anywhere. The shadiest implications against the Tau in the TT are that the Ethereals control the other Tau via pheromones, and enslaved the Vespid with the Communion helms.
Basically their fledgling empire believes in strength from unity. And all work towards a greater good for their people. However the way they get you to join the greater good if you don't just do so willingly is to put you in a position where you don't really have a choice.
That being said they have excellent diplomats, and the way their empire works is very appealing to your average Imperial citizen given it isn't as stifling as how the Imperium works.
They also have some pretty advanced technology for such a relatively young race, and there used to be implications that their creation and ascent (as well as their protection) was planned out and enacted by some higher power. Like maybe the Slaan/Old Ones.
>>336549963
>They're like greater good fags and let everyone fight with them
Yes, more or less.
>but they sterilize you
It should be noted that was only in their (non canon) victory on Kronus. We havent heard about something like this anywhere else. Its not outright stated but it is implied.
Its also been implied that the masks they gave to the Vespid leaders, ostensibly in order to communicate with them, does something to them and makes them more obedient. Again, only implied, never outright stated as fact.

Deployment is a big fucking deal, and having starting positions which give you a better angle on the enemy can outright win a match.
White Shirt is playing a cheese strat: hold his entire army of motorbike troops in reserve, then deploy them on his first turn. This means the other player, Shit Eating Grin, can't predict how Whitey will have his forces deployed, and Whitey can deploy with full knowledge of Grin's position. Whitey plans to hit the weakest enemy group, then roll the rest up from there.
However, Grin is wise to Whitey's cheese. Grin composes his army entirely of scout troops, which can be deployed anywhere that's at least 30cm from an enemy, instead of only his side of the map. Those scouts are deployed in an exposed line on Whitey's side of the map with less than 5cm between their bases, totally fucked if they come under fire.
Grin ends his deployment, match is declared started, and Grin announces he was won.
What the fuck happened? Deployment rules only allow reserves to enter the map on the player's edge of the map, at least 5cm from enemy forces. Grin's troops are placed such that there's no edge of Whitely map that's valid to deploy reserves from. Since Whitey can never deploy his troops, Grin has permanent control of the map, and wins.

For fucks sake this again. They aren't immune. They just have a lesser presence in the warp compared to humans. This makes them harder to corrupt for Chaos, and ultimately not really worth their time. On top of the Tau's complete lack of psykers which means no really viable hosts for daemons.
Imagine it like this, if you were some hungry lion would you eat the scrawny as shit smelly vegan, or the fat bacon guzzling not mentally impaired person?

The biggest porblem with DC is really the balance. I personally think it has the best campaign of the lot.
SS has a campaign but its kind of mediocre, in my opinion. Aside from the voice acting being hilariously bad, producing no less than infamous memes, there is issue of the stronholds, the most: as far I am concerned, DCs strongholds are superior in every way, with a few exceptions.

The Tau are the newbies to the setting. While humans and Eldar were fucking each other in the faces with swords, the Tau were jerking off with mud while drooling on themselves. Then one day the Tau's planet is surrounded in a warp storm, for years. When the storm fades, the Tau have advanced to a high tech space fairing society. They are basically socialist, in that they believe everything belongs to the 'greater good' of the race, and everyone must contribute. Taus are separated into various castes that do different jobs (Earth=workers,Water=bureaucrats, Fire=warriors, Air=messengers. Ethereal=the ones in charge) and are the only faction that are willing to integrate other races into their empire, giving them citizenship and having them contribute to the war efforts (many humans have even left the Imperium to join the Tau) The Tau's major aesthetic revolves around laser weaponry and mech suits, they excel at ranged weaponry. However despite their impressive technological level, the Tau are extremely naive to the vast majority of the galaxy. Their entire empire is incredibly small, they have no knowledge of the Warp (and thus have no FTL travel, making them the slowest faction in terms of space travel) have no knowledge of Chaos or the greater threats to the galaxy (there was once a story of a Tau planet trying to throw Necrons a party for killing a bunch of Nids) and in general act like bigger than they actually are (the Tau don't even think Hive Cities exist, nor do they have any Titan-class weapons, beyond a really big bomber ship) so they really are new players to a game thats been going on for millenia

Which one of the Deathwatch books is it? And whilst everything that goes into those books is signed off by GW's loremaster, it is still technically non-canon since GW themselves didn't write it. Everything in those books exists in a grey area where each company can't use use existing stuff from the other's.
>>336550472
In general? Try the Lexicanum-wiki. It's a bit outdated but a good entry point.
If you're looking for a book to pick up try the Eisenhorn trilogy (Rise and fall of an imperial Inquisitor) or Storm of Iron (invasion from the pov of traitor Space Marines).
>>336550886
I know, that is why it should be mandatory in dow 3. For all races.If you will not serve in combat, then you will serve on the firing line.

Dark Crusade is the better game.
Soulstorm has actually working multiplayer, better Steam implementation and therefore, better mod support, but shitty singleplayer.
And that's about it. People arent "split" on DC, that's just SS fags being salty. Its only natural that SS with its better Steam implementation is the choice for many people, but if you want to play single player, then by all means, go for DC.
It should also be noted that SS without mods is literally shitty fangame tier, since its an outsourced expansion. So only buy it if you really want mods or multiplayer.

Kinda depends on the world. I mean, the Imperium has literally a million planets under its control and its been stated that some planets, though they ultimately answer to the Imperium and have to obey it, are democracies and elect their Governors (of course, democracy doesnt necesarily mean everyone gets to vote.)
If you wanna bring in the BL, whose canonicity is admittedly in a sort of grey area, there seems to be reasonably normal worlds in Eisenhorn and Ravenor. A penal legionaire in the Last Chancers trilogy describes his agri-planet homeworld as pretty idyllic, before the Guard draft came knocking and he had to leave.
Of course there some very shitty places to live in the Imperium. But at least the risk of reality being split and demons pouring out on such a world is (relatively) small.

Not an inkling. A Hive City is pretty much a basic thing in the Imperium, it's just a city of absolute massive proportions, full to the brim with billions of people. When a human told a Tau...engineer I think? about Hive Cities, the Tau just laughed in his face about how ridiculous it sounds.
And again, the only faction without any form of titan weaponry, because the Tau believe machines that big are pointless and illogical, until they started running into Imperium Titans. The only thing they had that could come close to fighting titans was the Tiger Shark, which was pretty decent, since it was more nimble that Imperium titans and could still dish out some damage.
However recent times show that the Tau have finally caught up to the idea and have this thing, called Supremacy Armor. But it still shows how fresh they are that it took them so long to finally get a Titan, and even then this thing is a HUGE drain on their resources.

It's interesting to note that the grandfather of RTS's, Dune 2, actually had a retreat button for most units. Except for the Harkonnen Devastator which had a self-destruct button instead.
If I remember correctly, pressing it simply told that unit to move back to its original spawn point, or maybe sent it to a repair facility.
>>336552214
And wasn't it a pretty bad thing for the Tau? Since it brings an influx of billions of people without providing any resources besides a horrible monstrosity of a city

As long as they jump through the right hoops and don't piss off the Puritans too much, they can get away with just about anything short of Chaos. Kroot are relatively common since they usually don't give a shit about anything except getting paid.

>>336552493
It was probably bad that it set the Empires eyes on them. The Hive world itself left the Tau puzzled on how to deal with it, but it likely provided them with more than the lost provided that the Empire doesn't shit on them right away. The whole thing didn't get entirely solved.

Oh absolutely, but for the Tau to advance they have to realize those complications, and this was a fine first step should they be able to control it. And as I said the manpower and production the city could provide is likely a good thing.

Now all of this is true, but don't be fooled, the Tau are not weaklings.

I don't think Hive Cities have anything in terms of production, at least nothing of significant use, they are pretty much just giant apartments to stuff more humans inside.
But yes, it's a very good step for the Tau. The Tau may be small and naive, but they are exceedingly fast at adapting and making up for their lack of galactic experience. I imagine it wont be long before the Tau discover the truth of FTL mechanics in the galaxythey might even discover a different way to go FTL, like the Necrons and Eldar have.

Depends on the Hive. Some have proper manufactorums, others are just for housing.
For example Necromunda makes most if not all of its weapons in-hive. And exports off-world from memory.
That is why certain gangs there have better quality weapons than others, because they control the manufacture.

>>336553782
>I was really disappointed when the Scouts became just canon fooder in DoW II : Retribution
You should try looking at Elite Mod top player casts in 1v1, Scouts absolutely aren't cannon fodder in Retribution. They have high movement speed for backcapping, insane energy regen, can infiltrate to tie up setup teams via flanks, throw grenades and have knockback on demand with Explosive Shot. They're an asset throughout the entire game to a skilled Space Marine player
I sure hope this turns out better than DoW 2
>>336553923

Aaaaand all the points are wrong.
I know you believe in them hard though.
The cover point got me though, nice laugh.
>>336553875
Well that would likely never happen for many reasons. First being I don't think there are any of note near their Empire.
Also they would be utterly appalled at them. They have their own manufacturing which is arguably superior, they need resources more than shoddy Imperial and Mechanicus facilities.
>>336553897
Necromunda is an awesome setting, and a fucking fun game if you can do up a proper campaign with mates. Power armor isn't really a thing in it though. Closest you will get is Orrus Spyrer armor. Spyrers are uphive Nobles kitted out with offworld hunting suits that go to the underhive to hunt people for fun.
Later when the Tau became a thing it was heavily inferred that the suits came from them. But in true GW fashion nothing was ever done with that so we never got fun Gue'la auxiliaries in badass suits wrecking up shit for the Greater Good.
>>336553773
i've literally never seen an account getting dumped on for having third party keys or activated gifts revoked, you just lose the games attached to said key

All I hear about space marines is that they are few in number, ancient and almost unmatched in combat, can take on tons of orks by themselves etc etc, then you watch the cinematics and they are picked off like flies.
>>336554040
Hive worlds are pretty much what happens when you cover the surface of a planet in Mega City One and dig a little further down to make extra room. If you wanted to you could make an entire vidya from just one Imperial hive simply from the amount of variation that is contained within it from the likes of muties, surface level, roaming gangs in the wastes, gang warfare in the hive itself and derelict tech scavenging in the depths of the great hives. Sadly we won't see a Necromunda vidya anytime soon.
>>336554274

>>336553632
DoW 1 and 2 both had light and heavy cover you fucking clod
>>336554296
Yes, yes, I know.
But the Tau are a minor xenos faction, iconic of the thousands that beset the length and breadth of the Imperium. It's a big galaxy.
Think about what humanity seems like to all those aliens. Sure, a lot of them are inhuman monstrosities it's impossible to empathize with. But a lot of them are probably also like that apocryphal earth-caste engineer- laughing at the sheer absurdity of such a psychotic setup.
Then realizing it exists.
Then struggling to come to grips with any kind of context in which it would make sense.
Then realizing just how small you might be, and just how impressive the Imperium's scope and concerns are in comparison.
And how unpleasant the galaxy is that a force like that is barely clinging to life.
>>336554524
negative cover
>>336554524
Not to mention it also had directional AND zone cover while DoW1 only had the last one.
I just want fun single player and skirmish and base building. Multiplayer can do whatever.
>>336554296
>Sadly we won't see a Necromunda vidya anytime soon.
With the way things currently are this is arguably a good thing. I wake up in a cold sweat some nights from a nightmare where Bethesda got the rights to make a Beth-Fallout style Necromunda game.
The thing is that that style of game could actually be really fucking cool, but not if Beth did it. Something like Stalker would probably work out better though. But you would also want the gang aspect in there, with maybe some sort of command stuff like The Bureau or something.
>>336554568
The Tau are not that minor since they actually have a standing military, have fought in various battles and have carved out their own in this hostile galaxy. An actual minor xenos faction are more along the lines of Kroot, Hrud, Slaugh and Umbra. The last three of which still cause problems for everyone despite not even showing up on the grand scheme of things.
>>336554583
Oh shit my guy that was a thing.
>>336554583
its applied on the other side of cover
>>336554274
>Few in numbers
This is true, in comparison to every other fighting force. There are thousands of Marine Chapters, but each chapter can only have about 1000 Marines (some can barely get that much), and the more popular chapters actually create off-shoot chapters specifically to hold their run-offs.
>Ancient
The concept of them is ancient. The truth is there are only like, two Space Marines old enough to count as "ancient" (Marines who have been around since the origins of the marines and such) and one of them is a Dreadnaught.
As for combat abilities, they are very much unmatched in combat, because they are the peak of humanity and above, they are war machines in flesh, which makes them exceedingly strong in combat, they just have the misfortune of coming against enemies who can match them. As for Orks, Orks vary in power scaling. An average Ork is fodder plain and simple, they can give Imperial Guards difficulty, but are barely a thought to Space Marines, but Orks, even the rank and file of the Orks, can very much grow strong enough to give Space Marines more than just trouble.
When it comes down to it, even if you boast a single kind of unit in the universe as something great, there are only a handful of things in the 40k verse that would not get picked off like flies in battle, because thats just what the setting is like.
>>336554416
The only thing devastating about the Eldar is their own butthurt.
>>336554753
>Beth-Fallout style Necromunda game.
>>336554803
Which Dread?
>>336554753
What about a CDPR Necromunda vidya?
>arguing about cover
DoWII had the superior cover system, this is an objective fact. Light cover, heavy cover, 'perfect' cover in the form of energy shields deployed by Guardians, field fortifications Guardsmen could deploy, garrisons and functioning shotblockers which could deny unit line of sight. Vehicle wrecks could also be used as heavy cover in the middle of a battle.
DoW1 didn't even have proper fucking physics. An especially retarded example of this would be the Etherieal's Shas'Ui bodyguard and their extremely long firing range. As long as you had a Stealthsuit scouting ahead, the bodyguard could shoot at units two screens away through fucking walls and mountain ranges and still hit.
>>336554876
Bjorn the Fell-Handed, he's been alive since Leman Russ' era, and one of the only people left in the Imperium whose old enough to have not only known the Primarchs, but the Emperor in person.
>>336554932
Too bad it wasnt enough to cover up an entirely shit game
>>336554932
Great job arguing with yourself there.
And the Tau honor guard was awesome
>>336554774
They were originally introduced as a generic example of a minor xenos empire, the kind that the Imperium encounters on every frontier. Sure, they're a bit more successful, and they had to have infinite plot armor once they got models/army issued because yeah.
But they're a relatively small one. They aren't a galaxy spanning entity like Orks, Necrons, Eldar, or Tyranids. Or even Deldar.

All I can say is that I never imagined my dick could get this erect.

>>336555161
I just threw the name out there because I'm waiting on their other vidya Cyberpunk 2077 and I'm hoping its going to at least match an atmosphere similar to Necromunda with various factions duking it out in shitty cyberpunk like setting.

>>336555313

I hope you're referring to the fact that Retribution's campaign was more or less the same for every faction save for dialogue differences and not inferring that Eldar play exactly the same as Tyranids, or that Orks play exactly the same as Space Marines. Also
>thinking Soulstorm or Dark Crusade's campaigns weren't the exact same shit
DoWII and Chaos Rising had the best campaigns, Retribution's is pretty much always considered mediocre
>>336550208
Also note that they are well below the average for psychic power which is half of why they have such stability in their boarders. An equally liberal human sector would be flirting dangerously with corruption and demon incursion.

>>336543551
At least they came back in 6th Edition as a background abhuman offshoot. And not in the endangered section.
Still would like them as a army in their own rights.
They could even give them a debut by landing on Baal and helping the Blood Angels and their successors with overwhelming firepower against the Nids (against which they have a murderous grudge), and Ka'Bandha and his Khornate host.

Not only are the IG and maybe Eldar the only ones that should actually use it, but by the time you have everyone in position the battle is over, and if you somehow manage to get a good position where they can't touch you they can just ram your shit with a troop transport

Mentioning physics/functioning shotblockers in the same post as mentioning cover doesn't mean I equate them to be one and the same, retard. But they're both tied to eachother and related. The enemy physically not being able to fire on one of your units because line of sight is blocked can be just as effective as having one of your units in cover and not out in the open.
I liked retribution multiplayer a lot more than dow1, fuck nostalgia faggots
>>336555689
