holy shit.

I drooled…fuckin awesome.

[De4dEyE]

That looks fucking sick. But I agree a little with some of those posts… if you’re constantly doing finishing moves it’ll disrupt the game, won’t it? But the guy said there were hundreds of finishing moves… that’s pretty cool.

But the gun seems useless as fuck, though I know he said he wanted it to be an up close and personal experience.

Couple things:

What chapter is going to be focused on? A new one?

And what the fuck, when did Chaos end up with Thunderhawks?

[MrBlank]

Things to consider about that video

1. Its super Alpha Stage. we are talking about a game that is super early and nowhere near as polished. it was mearly a tech demo of sorts to show us what direction they are going.
2. It was leaked so we arent even suppose to see this video.
3. They might base this on the Ultramarines chapter considering the color of the space marine.
4. God of war had tons of finishers, ninja gaiden has tons of finisher type moves, i believe this game is suppose to play alot like that.
5. If the chaos space marines are attacking a major Imperial fortress, its possible they could have just jacked a thunderhawk.

Traitor Guard seemed kinda sparse. But they are kinda guerilla like The Lost and the Damned are supposed to be, I guess. Kinda hope it has a Chaos Space Marine mode too. Would be so awesome.

Thing is, if you upgrade as time goes on… You’ll lose your Chainsword for a Power Sword. That may not be nearly as stylish.

Also my Tomb Kings armybook got here. Gonna start headin for 1000 points first thing!

My friends confirmed their choices. Lizardmen, Bretonnia and Dark Elves. Who’s gonna give me the most trouble?

[MrBlank]

If any of you are playing warhammer and plan to go destruction hit me up on my server folks. SRK homies are always fam in my guild.

Knucklebuster on Wulfenberg server.

[Geese_Pants]

That reminds me.
Soulstorm players…a patch is finally coming out next week.

[m00b]

Started into the 40k universe with DoW, and moved onto the books earlier this year. Now I think I’m gonna move into the TT world.

I’m deployed right now and I’ve been reading 40k novels constantly whenever I have free time. Anyone else reading any books besides Dan? I just finished the newest HH novel, Battle for the Abyss and thought it was pretty good. The best HH novels were the first 3 IMO, with storyline centered around Loken.

Also finished reading Gaunt’s Ghosts, Ravenor and Eisenhorn (in that order, so kind of in reverse order) by Abnett, and I have to say that he’s probably my favorite sci-fi writer I’ve read. His novels just seem to have the perfect pacing of action / storyline. Definitely got me hooked into the universe.

Also reading the first Grey Knights book by Counter, and while I did like most of the HH novels, reading about Space Marines just isn’t as fun to read.

Anyway, I’ll probably be looking at starting a TT army when I get back, probably DE or 'nid. I watched a game before I left for Iraq, but neither races were played. This is just from reading the codices and online info on their styles of play, as well as the fluff associated with them. Anyone here running nid or DE lists?

[MrBlank]

i run chaos but even then im not versed enough in the games to even provide correct info about army building.

[Xero_Kaiser]

Damn, I want that Liber Chaotica, but that the price of that thing is no joke. Hardcover is $900 on amazon 0_o (paperback is $179, though).

Might just bite the bullet on the paperback version if I can’t find it cheaper anywhere else

[Geese_Pants]

Dawn of War 2 Campaign Gameplay…for the CHAPTER!

[MrBlank]

YESHHHHH!!!

fucking awesome

[Xero_Kaiser]

So…someone on Amazon fucked up and was selling the Liber Chaotica for $5. They corrected the mistake a day later and brought it back up to $200, but not before I jumped on that “sale” :woot:

Also grabbed The Horus Heresy: Collected Visions.

[Geese_Pants]

I can’t seem to get it from online connection…I may have to d/l the patch from a seperate source.

[MrBlank]

Mine downloaded from Steam.

I hope that i will still be eligible for the DOW2 beta even though i bought the game using steam.

[Geese_Pants]

DoW2 Aerial Assault Gameplay…I can’t wait to serve the chpater once again.

[m00b]

I’m looking forward to killing some 'nids.

[FoldoutChair]

DoW2’s gonna be awesome. Space Marines and Eldar are gonna have fewer units just like in Tabletop. Expansions better put in some Grey Knights and Inquisitorial forces. Also Dark Eldar’ll be interesting due to the smaller army deal.

Let’s hope for some Chaos Daemons. Fun shit.

[MrBlank]

Ive been waiting patiently, because the day this is released im going to build a completely brand new pc. from scratch just like i did when i first purchased the original DOW.
