Cringe.

I hate how they dropped the humanoid turrent deisgn of these fuckers for some generic mech with heavy weapons.

Do the enemies still have all their shit again when attacking? I don't mind rebuilding my forces and upgrades as long as they don't start with all of their forces and buildings that they had when you originally attacked them. Shit was stupid.

I can't understand how to use Tau, I rely on turrets too much

Yes. You basically have to replay the map entirely. Luckily there's a mod that makes it work like DC.
Agreed, the current broadside model is awful

I've made peace with the fact. When you think about it, new games would include gay shit like Gorillaman being head honcho while making out with his eldar gf, and all the horrendous Primaris accesories.

Thematically they're just very bland and boring, and a decade of Matt Ward wanking them off incessantly didn't make them any more likeable.

Skirmish is pretty fun, and there's also a mod for the mod that lets you play the campaign with it which is goo for a laff. You can also find people who want to play the game on their offical discord if you really want to play with someone.

Shame about your friends though. I have a similar problem.

I don't hate them like some do but they're just boring. They have nothing going on besides Space Romans and muh 500 worlds.

They have long sync kill animations, making them invulnerable and force the entire enemy squad to keep fighting in melee. Also, they have daemon class armor, the arguably toughest armor class in the game when not fighting Grey Knights.

>I know they're not that good
Play unpatched original DoW1 if you like them that much.

The stronghold missions are pretty fun to play, even if the mod does trivialize a lot of them, but the standard maps kind of get frustrating to do if you're not one of the races that can just rush and stomp the cpu out quickly.

>sync kill animations, making them invulnerable
Oh, so there is someone who held out on staying up to date even more than me.

>ultimate apoc campaign
oh holy shit. how crazy does it get? does it add the mod factions like inquisitors/'nyds?

DC cheated? lmao
DC let you build up a base and keep it there, unless you yourself tried to be a faggot and cheese by building shit in their base zones, which the game automatically cleared
>you could still build a wall of turrets supported by 5 HQs and permanently pin them in their base, unable to claim any requisition points and thus advance while you owned the entire map and every point
>Enemy had honour guard, but they never rushed your base until they'd spent time building up and felt ready to attack you, giving you some time to prepare and position yourself
compared to Soulshit
>entire map is wiped once you leave it, the only way to secure it is to place structures from the campaign map which were always placed in shitty locations that you ended up destroying anyway, plus cost too much to reasonably use on every region plus couldn't be recalled and repositioned anyway

I've always liked the smurf's aesthetics and even their stuck-up personality, up until the great wanking came and made them insufferable.

Same thing happened with Grill Man, He was a fine character being an exemplar leader while also being the cunt who tried to shove codex bullshit into every other legion. Now he's just plain fellated and gets to lead the Imperium while the likes of the Blood Angels get obliterated because he's just so GOSH DARNED AWESOME.

What IS wrong with 1d4chan

Wait, they did change it?

>Primaris Marines
Of all the things GW had to go with, this one is even stupider that the fact that Age of Sigmar exists. Wouldn't have had any problems with them if it weren't for the fact that GW is slowly phasing out vanilla Space Marines for the sake of these guys. It's so bad that even Chaos Space Marines actually badmouthed the Imperium for mingling with the Emperor's works. It says a lot when the main bad guys who turned their backs on Emps will defend the latter's work.

Honestly? They never were bad, but due to 5th ED people hated them until GW and Black Library (along with the Space Marine game via Titus and Sidonius) managed unscrew them and presented Guilliman as a overall cool guy.

Dude. Guilliman leads the Imperium, but it's not bunnies and flowers. Dude has to deal with 10K years worth of bullshit, reform the Imperium to get more shit done and now he's dealing with the bloody state religion trying to fix it. All the time everyone is trying to throw meltabombs under his feet. In case of the Ecclesiarchy, in order to reform it he's about to read a copy of the Lectitio Divinatus (with an autograph of Lorgar back when he was loyal) to find a way where to fix the church. And before that the Inquisition tried to do EVERYTHING so that he wouldn't get his hands on it. Hell, the Inquisition actually hates him for going up against his reforms and creating new organizations (like the new Remembrance and overall making sure history ain't censored).

spergs can't separate the hyperbole and jokes from the actual rules and fluff and so it tends to lead to rampant stupidity. it's usually just someone who's only knowledge of the setting is from 1d4chan acting like a spastic. other than that, there's no real problem with it.

YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO

I last played in 2013 and whichever was the latest patch back then definitely removed the invulnerability part. Most likely much earlier. I remember first playing DC and having to completely rethink everything I've been used to because sync kills became a massive detriment. Bloodthirsters got fucked particularly hard. But ranged overall became much more important over melee. Only very powerful melee units (Nobs come to mind first and foremost for some reason) remained good and the game was more like rock-paper-scissors overall compared to the original.

I didn't get the final upgrade because Eliphas was too aesthetic in his baroque shit, later it turns out I made the right decision

>chadmarines
Oh right I forgot those existed.
I stopped playing tabletop about half a year before they came out.

DC was such a fun disaster.
I remember assaulting Necron capital with IG only to find my Basilisks knocked down (and that was an invulnerable state back in the days) Pariah squad so hard it regenerated faster than I could damage them.
It was a fucking clusterfuck, but it was so much fun.

Eliphas' fucking smooth voice should be the only reason why you don't ascend him.

>Dude has to deal with 10K years worth of bullshit
The problem is that he himself was one of the causes of all the bullshit in the first place, but now he's just the wonderful redeemer of the rotten husk that is the imperium. The dude went and started infighting between the remaining primarchs with his codex and chapters bullshit back when humanity was barely recovering from the Horus Heresy because of COURSE the others would have to accpet his brilliant idea even if he had to shove it down their throats. Nowadays, chapters are isolated from the sight of their peers which makes them easy pickings for chaos corruption, and Guilliman's decision to brutally enforce unit caps for the marines falls flat when the chapters that gave him the middle finger thrived like the Black Templars.

looks like a big fucking gun and a marine standing behind it

A black Legion havoc?

It's just an autocannon havoc. Are you okay?

Everyone makes mistakes. He even realizes that the Codex was in the end too restrictive. Then again he thought that after enforcing the Codex he'd be around making sure no other bullshit would happen and the Imperium would rebuilt itself for the better. Nobody expected him to be stabbed by his brother Fulgrim (at this point a Daemon Prince) with one of his poisoned blades in the throat and end up in stasis for 10K years until some Eldar chick with wide hips who's also quite stacked would rezz him with the help of a tech-priest with a unorthodox (aka: heretek-al) look at technology.

Hence why the whole thing with the Codex Imperialis and him making up for all his past faults.

>make book of advises and ideas
>idiots adhered to it like the word of god
Titus was fucking right

Can Tau do space jumps now?

I miss time when we knew nothing about horus heresy and emperor was a guy who lost because he loved his sons and not an autistic retard

The HH novels are a convoluted clusterfuck. Having that many writers just doesn't work.
Like Horus seems absolutely schizophrenic if you compare him just between two novels from different authors.

>Book of "advises" and "ideas"
>"What do you mean you're not gonna follow the instructions I laid down here for you? Fuck you, go and split your legions you dog-breath!"
The shitty thing about modern Guilliman is that they're trying to save face from the fact that he would be closer to Leandros than Titus.

And was right in the most brutal way imaginable. Guilliman never intended it to be a dogma. Problem is that he could've wrote that on the very firs page of the Codex Astartes. It took the invasion of Hive Fleet Behemoth for the Ultramarines to realize that they were wrong for adhering to it in a dogmatic way (Calgar was the first to realize this) when faced with an enemy that is as insanely adaptable as the Tyranids.

Yep. And the times he shed tears for every soldier that fought for the Imperium.

Technically yes, but these niggas don't have any gellar field. As much Tau and warp don't mix, I doubt you having insignificant means anything if you enter the warp without a gellar field. Oh they also brought their auxillaries with them.

They wanted to make you spend overworld resources on permanent emplacements, of which there were not many. You could spend your points to drop up to 4 generators, a barracks, a t1 upgrade building and a few waagh towers if you're ork. Everything else had to be built from scratch and if you're fighting the main AI stack they're just gonna A move towards your base as soon as the battle starts, have fun fighting defilers while the strongest unit you can build is a fucking shoota boy.

DC had you always face 2 AIs for some reason when attacked

Can someone explain the Eye of Terror to a retard like me?
It's not warp because you can chill there without a gellar field and not get instantly raped by demons, but it's not real space either? It's something between them?

Could you expand on that? Like the main thing about Chaos in DoW1 is that they're like SM, except specialised around certain things instead of being jacks of all trades. Horrors are absurdly good at killing vehicles and shit at everything else. CSM are good at killing infantry and can't do anything else. Khorne dudes are melee specialists.
Obliterator is one of the very few units that can do several things at once.

it's an opening into the warp

Especially when Imperial Fists exist, who are pretty much like Ultras, except fun and interesting and charismatic

Are you kidding me? Have you read the RAHOWA page?

If real space was one side of a coin and the warp the other side of the coin the eye of terror is a sphere with no discernible side because it's an conglomeration of both. Mostly the warp tho.

Seraphim squad game all about being fast and hitting objectives hard before getting overwhelmed

Lmao no, Imperial Fists are overshadowed by their successors

t. Valrak

you can do the exact same shit with your honor guard and drive a leman russ to their base in the first minute

cultists are goofy melee+ranged+heavy weapons
defilers are goofy melee+artillery

Le ebin crusader memes are entry level garbage. The crimson fisters aren't much better, their character starts and ends with them being salty at Orks.
Reading into the rivalry between Imperial Fists and Iron Warriors, that's where real kino begins.

He probably means that Defilers are still shit, Possessed have become massive waste of resources not to mention capped, CSMs are inferior versions of SMs, Corn Flakes are just pure fail unless massed and then they are cost inefficient and I'm probably forgetting something else but I stopped playing Chaos in DC entirely to save myself from disappointment.

Ok, that kinda makes sense in a pretty confusing way. But then again warp is warp and everything it touches goes kinda haywire.

>that's where real kino begins.
That's where the real autism starts, and it's not in the reader. Those stubbon tards are both trying to claim the title for king of the spergs for themselves.

Where do the Iron Hands fall on the spectrum? Because they look pretty god damn autistic to me

Maybe we cross over into an alternate timeline where CA is allowed to make TW40k

True, and Pert is the best primarch

The whole fucking up of the imperium is the result of spergs having their feefees hurt.

how come there's no game like vermintide but for 40k and made by a competent developer?

because there's like 2 actually good 40k games

There is, but It sucks dick.

More like because people misinterpreted the emperor's plan

All of the space Marines are autist since the Emperor is the biggest autist of them all. It's just varying degrees of functional autism with the Ultramarines the least autist of the bunch.

Where is this from?

Would need to look it up. All I remember is that an Alpha Legionnaire said this. He was all but happy.

GW is stingy with its IP for some reason. Sure, they will give some small devs the rights to make games with the 40K name on it, but you won't see something like Total War: Warhammer, in the terms of production and budget.

What's the last good 40k game that was made? And by good I mean actually made by a team that understood the setting and didn't make some eurojank garbage

dawn of war 2

Mechanicus was alright, but it's got a snowballing problem and if you know what you're doing it's easy to cheese to death

Mechanicus which came out...was it last year or this year? Either way it's the best representation of their faction we've gotten in vidya, the fact that they all speak in beep boops while the Necron speak in raspy british accents instead of the other way around is great.

GW is convinced that if too good of a 40k is made then people won't want to play the tabletop anymore. They're ok with TWW since they killed the setting.

Giant chicken is a joke. Slowest relic in the game, no ranged attacks, no area attacks, no special abilities. The only way it's gonna be dangerous is if you drive your artillery pieces up to him to let him stomp them and clear the rest of your army out.

SPESS MEHREENS

WHERE?

Best 1v1 melee damage though. Also you can make sick ass holograms I guess.

Like most of the Tau's melee shit it's just there to be a distraction
The real killers are the 8 fully reinforced fire warriors shitting fury on you from across the map

>we will never get a proper DoW2
FTFY

Southern quadrant, but they were on the move. Current Location Unknown.

Cultists are the ultimate cannon fodder unit, they don't even need a commissar to be annoying. They'll never get as killy as fully decked out IG squads, but they're amazing at soaking up enemy fire and taking their time while your actual units get into range.
Defiler, despite those massive claws, is a dedicated artillery unit. May sound strange, but consider that they were added to the game before IG and their basilisks were a thing, the only indirect fire artillery units in the game were them, looted tanks at ork T3 and those ork thingies with rocket launchers at T2, everything else was direct fire. So defilers are meant to be these squishy artillery units that can decently fight in melee if push comes to shove, but that's not what they're specialised it, differentiating it from the Dreadnought, that can reasonably well melee and shoot.
Chaos unit specialisations weren't always obvious and they certainly weren't always great, but they certainly weren't meant to be jacks of all trades.

>fun
Each had like 700 HP, it was dumb. And you could not reinforce those squads.

sentinels are fucking awesome
shame they gave them a lame multi-laser in dow2 with only some faggy rockets as upgr

Because of how big the characters were, the squad would often split up in the worst possible way, often generating inside your building formation, unable to move out.

That melee damage just doesn't matter because anything can outrun it, and even if you need it to remain in place it can be distracted by free/cheap infantry underfoot long enough that your own relic or equal investment in other units would obliterate the enemy because it's a (utterly retarded) single melee-only unit without area attack, flamer equivalent or any other means to do its job.
It's to slow, inefficient and costly to be even that. By the time it gets to where your forces were you long since slaughtered those fire warriors. If your micro is good enough you can drop on and butcher them before they even make a meaningful contribution.

Now, if you see those fire teams supported by hammerheads, crises and pathfinders ready to light up your costlier assets, that's real trouble. But as far as kroot-route goes any other unit of theirs is a bigger problem all things considered.

The rocket was great actually, the real problem was their armour type - they counted as super heavy infantry. The same armour type that's used by terminators and tyrant guards. It resists most types of damage pretty well, but it melts when faced with plasma or power weapons. Guess when most factions unlock plasma? T2. When does Sentinel get it's rockets? Also T2. So it was a big energy investment into a unit that's gonna probably die next time he gets into range of plasma tacticals or inferno bolter CSM. And shootas did more than enough damage to frag that poor thing even without plasma damage on T1. Damn DoW2 shootas were killy.

>hammerheads
Like 95% of player went Keion for those range and armour upgrades.

rockets are nice, but lascannon in dow1 is awesome
should've let us put autocannon in it
I only play Elite mod tho

That would be Scars.

They are even more awesome in DoW2, straight up broken even.

Yeah, blue boys got shafted with their fork. But still, montka units are always the bigger problem, upgrades or no upgrades. In no smal part because montka players have crazy micro and disrupting capacity, while keion rely on quantity over quality that you can easily disrupt and tie or chase around.

all the melee relics do is get stuck on things and play animations instead of attacking

The campaign in soulstorm jacked up enemy unit stats

Agreed. And that ridiculous goes both ways. They're fucking blind without spotters and upgrades, their sight is shorter than assault range of melee troops, but with upgrades shas'ui bodyguards can pelt death out of their pulse !!!!carbines!!!! halfway across the map(RANGE 70!!!).

>Psyker awakening soon
>most armies are getting new models
Can't wait.

If you're talking about how the projectiles physically come out of the spots for those weapons, I always found that a good detail

It's only a half range of basilisks and the such, but considering that tau's own self-propelled artillery peaks at 50~ish... Yeah, tau are odd that way.

Pretty sure it depends on what they are shooting at. I remember them using their weapons differently depending on unit type.

No and hell no.

Allright, what Dawn of War games and expansions are actually worth playing?

Did you pick your favourite chapter because of their lore or their colour scheme?

All are worth a try except for that one

DoW1 and DoW2. Avoid 3 like the pest

Avoid soulstorm, unless you have 40k friends that want to play ultimate apocalypse. Dark crusade for definitive dawn of war experience DoW2 is MOBA but it tries it best, can be fun for a favorite faction playthrough

>that story of the iron warriors trolling loyalists so hard and making them mad at having to do bad things that they decide to turn into mad as fuck iron warriors themselves
I love it

All DoW1 and 2.

Kinda the former. The flesh is weak.

First Dawn of War, Winter Assault, Dark Crusade, Dawn of War II and Chaos Rising. Skip Soulstorm and Dawn of War III.

Dawn of War - if you like Blood Ravens or SM in general. But good campaign nonetheless.
Winter Assault - if you like Eldar, IG, Chaos or Orks. Shorter compared to original, but four campaigns for each race.

Dark Crusade - if you like Tau/Necrons. Risk-style game of skirmishes, no real plot to speak of.
Soulstorm - if you like Sisters or Dark Eldar. Risk-style game of skirmishes again, but campaign is much more boring and difficult as fuck. Not challenging, just numb grind against the same damn two fully built bases and full armies while you have jack shit all.

Dawn of War II and Chaos Rising - if you like Blood Ravens or SM in general, again. Good campaign, as with the first game. No strategic component to speak of, just light tactics of kitting and commanding four squads. CR lets you turn heretic if you want.

Retribution - if you like Tyranids, IG, Chaos or Eldar. Everyone gets the same missions though, so no real replay value here, unlike WA.

Dark Crusade, Soulstorm and Retribution also allow you to play for preceding factions, orks, marines, chaos, eldar, so on. But you'll get bored on your second, third tops playthrough, so stick with your favourites.

>Everyone gets the same missions though, so no real replay value here
There is some variation, like Imperials caring about destroyed structures in that Calderis mission while the rest obviously don't. But largely yeah, unfortunately.

they should've just updated the Space Marines, the Primaris lore is fucking awful.

Retribution was kino for its multiplayer, probably the only time I really bothered with multi in an rts game. Not sure if the game is still alive now though, probably not.

Nah, they held up pretty well against the white scars. The orks are scared shitless of Farsight. They were timid little bitches at the beginning but a constant string of getting btfo'd has taught them about the horrors the galaxy holds. Their recent little roadtrip into the warp scared them well enough of the ruinous powers. They're already more advanced than the humans in many ways and they've only been civilized for 5000 years. They're also not technologically stagnant. They're probably going to be the next rulers of the galaxy like the imperium or the eldar before them.
I guess they all get chomped on by the tyranids in the end, so it doesn't really matter.

>it would cause a political shitstorm
Yeah, you wish. Some pink haired landwhales with problem glasses on blogs nobody reads aren't a political shitstorm, and nobody takes 40K that seriously.

Because the W40k world in the minds of most people is very small, not unlike how Star Wars is just Empire VS Rebels in the eyes of Disney. Even if the W40k world is exceptionally intricate for a fictional setting, most content creators, especially game devs, will always ignore most of it. If it ain't Space Marines and to a lesser extent, the Inquisition, the Imperial Guards, Orks and Chaos, you will probably never see it depicted in a video game.

Lorelet here, could someone explain the whole deal with Slaanesh and the dark eldar to me? Are their souls really safe within the webway? If so, why would they ever leave? How come they don't get immediately devoured when they go into realspace? Did the eldar ever fall to chaos before the birth of Slaanesh?

HH doesnt work becuse its like 100 books long, and 90 of those books are filler, they story could be told well in 10 or less. And with a dozen different writers, chatacters like horus and the emperor come off as schizos

It could only work if you play from the point of view of a Slaneshii moderate (not the degenerate cultist kind), which is what most represents the 21st century western dogma.

>Adulthood is understanding that the Word Bearers are actually based

They do it because it's one of their best selling series, if not the best selling. But it's like 50 books now and the whole thing mostly reads like clumsy fanfiction. I could barely believe it when I read about the imperium secundus. That entire thing was a whole lot of a wet fart.

>the surivivors live in either mobile fleets ala battelstar galatica, or as degenrate monstrosity pirates who desperately seek to not die, or slasneesh will rape thier souls forever

Lorlet, you forgot the Exodites who peaced the fuck out well before Slaanesh. Craftworlders got out just before, but Exodites saw this coming a mile away

I get that, but the eldar normally protect their souls with stones. How do the deldar protect theirs?

>How come they don't get immediately devoured when they go into realspace?
they top their own souls off by stealing souls from the slaves they take

>Did the eldar ever fall to chaos before the birth of Slaanesh?
that's basically the whole story of the Fall

>The dark eldar (space elves) responsible for why chaos can interact with the physical universe
Eldar as a whole, and not really, there's a fuck ton of warp/reality overlays, the Eye of Terror is just the largest and most important

as far as i can understand, eldar get two choices: either play hide and seek with slaanesh for the remainder of eternity (craftworlders), or perpetually murderrape so much ass it pleases slaanesh enough to not immediately murderrape their asses (dark eldar)

Torture. They replenish their souls and bodies by torturing others.

The good thing about khornates is that they fucking rush into melee so I just unload into them with my bolters plus they only get incapacitated due to having assloads of armor. My apothecary managed to stabilize and capture 6 traitor marines and a bloodthirster and the only things we lost were all the guardsmen and a single scout marine.
the mod comes with imperial fist and blood angel alternative skins, they don't actually change the gameplay though.

It's one of those mods that makes tons of sweeping balance changes every update so it's never closer to balanced, and yet never really manages to add anything more than it already had. Like whatever you were already doing, keep doing it because it's probably still broken and they really only focus on titans.

so whats the strategy for eldar/corsairs/dark eldar in BFG2? always be at max speed and try to manuver behind the enemy? What are the differences between the 3 anyways?

>selling new models?
Duh
But Space Marines were laughably easy to kill compare to how much the lore fellates them

You owe it to yourself play DoW2 for what may be the best single-player RTS campaign (or tied with it for Warcraft 3)

The logic behind it was blatantly obvious. People were clamoring for "true scale" marines for years, so GW gave it to them. At the same time, they decided to not make the old models "obsolete" like the transition from Beakies, so they came up with that plot point. Now people don't have to replace their old marines for the true scale one, since they're both canon.

there essentially upgraded space marines with three extra organs and a big chunk of the flaw removed, though the flaws that do remain seem to be much worse since the Blood Angles started to be worried over how violent their Primaris get when the red thirst kicks in

GW lost a lawsuit because they couldn't copyright tbe word "space marine" so they're giving everything a trademarkable name. Also truescale marines. The lore sucks but the models are what marines should have been, and their rules more accurately reflect their lore

the whole point of space marines is to get a human up to ork levels

It came out around 4th or 5th edition when the Tau codex was at its absolute lowest point. The tabletop broadside were pretty much Terminators (Already a bad unit at the time) with twin-linked lascannons.

What was really crazy was the XV8s being a higher tier unit and only solo, with the standard outfits unavailable. And the relic unit being wasted on the fucking Great Knarloc.

Too bad we'll never get a real DoW3 with Riptides (Stormsurges can shove it.)

Unfortunately 8th edition was written by Cruddace, who has an insane favoritism towards IG and constructed the rules to favor horde infantry and superheavy vehicles.

Tomb Kings in space is much more interesting than 'bland automatons who kill just because'.

I think Inquisitor is pretty okay. Not great but not terrible either.

Dawn of War 2, while extremely different from DoW 1, gives itself a somewhat new take on the RTS genre becoming mostly squad based. It's less to do with multi managing a shit load of things to just focusing on the current battle you are fighting. Its not a bad game by any means and its actually really enjoyable. Plus the voice acting and music is fucking top notch. For Orkz, all you gotta do is get some Nobz like said and just KRUMP n SMASH your way through. Plus playing as the Freebooters during the campaign is shit tons of fun. Bluddflagg is def my favorite warboss.

Primaris have been a thing for almost 2 years but people are still just now learning about them in 40k threads even though every 40k thread since 2017 has talked about Primaris marines.

I wish the old marines got the Thunder Warrior treatment, getting purged after the Emperor ordered reborn Guilliman and his new legions to carry out the task, leaving the only classic marines left to be Chaos/renegades

Which game has the best voice acting Dow 1 or Dow 2

Dawn of war 2 for the wraithguard and chaos dreadnought alone.
>That sound of pure joy when a chaos dreadnaut dies
>My stone p-please take it

2

2 has the best voice acting for any game

But 2 has a stupidly huge number of lines for each unit as well as a system for playing them in context-sensitive situations which I appreciate. It definitely has the best usage of voice acting in any game I've seen.

70% of people that like W40K have never actually played the tabletop game, nor really follow the newer updates.
Furthermore, everything following the awakening of girlyman fucking SUCKS and honestly reminds me of why GW should never be allowed to advance the setting.
>omg you guys now we have space space marines marines they're like, 200% space marine-er, you should totes buy them they're BADASS because they're BIGGER and, uh, YEAH

They either drag it into an alley, rape it, beat it, spit on it and leave it on the floor crying on a cold, rainy winter night, like they did with WHFB, or do dumb shit to sell more models like this.

The last chivalry order did exactly this in WWI.

Best thing? Commissar and orc announcer are the same dude.

But yeah, definitely, DOW2 has amazing voice acting.

2. No unit sounds bad. In 1 all Eldars sounded like shit. What 2 lacks is the same level of meme lines like 1

>implying GW cares about lorelets and poorfags

>13 years later
wait... Where did the time gone?

Fuck DoW1 because it can't be beaten as either Tau or Guard without taking casualties

GW doesn't are about lorefags either, they only like money.

How to play Orkz in DOW2:
1. Start a match as orkz
2. ???
3. Get a Nob squad
4. Win because nothing can actually, reliably hurt a Nob squad

Pyrric victories are for losers.

nobody plays vanilla online

The guard losing several thousand men in a battle isn't a Pyrrhic victory, it's a decisive strategic victory

U literally can't play Imperial Guard without Pyrric victories

Same thing with Retribution as far as I know.

A guardsman who survives becomes a veteran guardsman who will be able to kill that many more xenos and heretics for the emprah, and thousands more veteran guardsmen sounds like a game-changer, tide-turners instead of wasted potential for fighting for the glory of the emperor. Thousands burning bright would bring the light of the emperor much farther, as torches, rather than thousands burning dimly, as mere candles.

In tabletop, it's possible.

becoming a veteran matters jack shit when you're wielding a glorified flashlight against:
>upgraded versions of you
>corrupted upgraded versions of you
>quake players on adderall
>green bois
>armies where everyone, even the artillery, has sharpshooter-level accuracy
and the like

bros this thread made me reinstall Dawn of War 2. Has to be one of my favorite games ever made

Nia is cute

It’s not about balance, it’s about new content.

The british accent of the IG voice overs in DoW2 really do it for me for whatever reason. Microing a Sentinel correctly is the most satisfying thing.
