    Bags being a Chaos Dwarf! (I've always had a soft spot for those chaps.) ;)

    On a related note, I honestly can't wait for the next Dawn of War expansion pack; my money's on 'Nids being the second "secret" race being introduced along with the Tau.
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Ooooh, I havent even heard of another expansion. Cool. :)

    Yeah, Ill probably be a Slaanesh-worshipping Darkelf if thats at all possible.. :D
  • Morden279Morden279 Genius
    Mmm... Slaanesh... The kinkiest of all the Chaotic powers.

    Chaos has never really appealled to me, outside of the Chaos Dwarfs who are just evil engineers. There's always a rather nasty set of side-affects that tend to accompany worshipping the dark powers, and I'm not just talking about Nurgle. :D

    Oh HELL NO. I can handle Orcs, Tau, Chaos Marines, even Necrons.. BUT NO NIDS!!! NIDS BAD!!!

    Nids are sooo damned overpowerd, it makes me wish for the good old days of 1st edition 40k when terminator power armor saved on a 2 and up. Or if you were Imp Guard you got pie plate bombardment templates...

    Anyway, I'm pretty sure they're not touching nids, seeing as they don't think they can ever do them justice.

    My bad the original save for the terminator was 3 on two D-6, it was however modifiable.

    And The templates for dropping orbital bombardment on something were huge.


    And Nids are EVIL EVIL EVIL. and almost impossible to defeat.

    The Zerg from Starcraft were done pretty damn well in terms of how both units and buildings were modelled brilliantly (oozing and pulsating, etc), and I really do think GW can do the Tyranids justice if they simply do what Blizzard did. Heck, the Zerg had more thought put into them and looked a hell of lot better than the 2nd edition 'Nids ever did, IMO!

    I've only played against 'Nids twice and both were extremely close fought battles with myself only just being the victor. The key is to just sit back and pour on the fire before lauching selected counter-assaults to kill off-isolated or weakened units. (SM Assault Squads are great for this.) Because there's so many 'Nid models on the table, them being spread out so much really does tell after two turns of shooting. After that, you just mop up with whatever you have left.

    Anyway, let's say the secret race in the next expansion isn't Tyranids... What race do you guys think would accompany Tau? The only other viable option is Dark Eldar, but GW have left them pretty much untouched since the release of 3rd edition...
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Grey Knights, Other SM chapters, Necrons, Harlequins, Demiurg and Hrud perhaps?
  • Morden279Morden279 Genius
    They're really too minor to be that good an addition, and not very expansive. Apart from the Hrud and Demiurg, (which are unlikely to feature because GW haven't actually created models/rules/proper fluff for them yet), the others aren't technically individual races; merely sections of existing ones. (The Imperium, The Eldar, etc.)

    However, you may have a point about Necrons. Winter War expanded the IG, who were only a feature of Dawn of War, so they may do the same with the Necrons in the upcoming expansion. However, they were ridiculously powered in WW, (Monoliths!) so I don't know the devs would make the Necrons a challenging race to play.

    On reflection the Ordo Hereticus (Imperial Witchhunters) would be fantastic to see. Lots of potential units there.

    I might give the game a go when it comes out. I've been meaning to get Dawn of War for a while now too. I never used to be that into Warhammer-type games until this year when a mate introduced me to Battlefleet Gothic. Havent tried 40k or anything, but we're doing BFG campaigns now so we're talking about introducing a ground element in the next campaign.

    Wish I'd gotten into it earlier:rolleyes:
  • KeithiusKeithius Mr. 3000
    Really looking foward to this game. Been burned out on WoW for awhile now. But, all these games always look good at first. Time will tell I suppose.

    Ah a new member! Welcome to the forums! Beer's over there in the fridge, and the nuts are all over the place!:D
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Welcome to the board! Grab a beer in the fridge and post a lot!
    (No, I wont say anything about the nuts, Ive already done that too much)..

    Oh and Morden: Imperial Guard and Blood Ravens are also part of the Imperium, but the Imperium is also popular, so I wouldnt rule out Sister of Battle either.. ;)
  • KeithiusKeithius Mr. 3000
    heh. thanks. Not really new, I have lurked for awhile, just never made a forum account. :)
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Well, time to do just so. I lurked for a couple of years before posting, so its never too late.. ;)

    They'll probably Bring out a DoW+WW box set at some point mate, so keep your eyes peeled. (It's pretty much inevitable in the games industry.)

    BTW: Welcome to the boards, Keithius! :)
  • KeithiusKeithius Mr. 3000
    Ive got DoW 40k for the pc. I like that game alot. The only real game I have played in the Warhammer universe. Plays alot like Starcraft with a few twists. Like having to capture and hold the resource points to win.

    I may consider picking up the expansion to it as well soon. But, I am also playing Eve at the moment. Friend of mine is helping me get started in that. So not a heck of alot of time to play so many games. But I might get it later. Also got Oblivion to play to. Bleh, so many games, so little time.
