Gametrailers have got some new DoW2 vids…including some MP gameplay.
So it looks like base-building in on MP…cool.
Yeah that multiplayer is looking hot yo. im wondering if they are holding back even more by not announcing if there are more races in the cutty
I never played a warhammer game, but this vid makes me want to.

Probably old to everyone, but it’s really well done.
(subscribes) hrmmm,., nice thread. just got into the fantasy table top. picked up 2kpts. in chaos Daemons. primed, based and second coated about half of my blood letters, and i feel like i’ve been doing this forever.
also thinking of getting into witch hunters in 40k. my friend has been trying to get me into the RTS forever. looking at how expensive the table top is, and how they now have the Sisters in the game, i’m sincerely thinking about it.
anyone who paints minis, do you have any experience with an airbrush? i need some tips.
Ok for those who are totally waiting for DOW2 like me.

YEAHHHHH!! im on IT!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!
So I need to get this game for Steam…or what?
I don’t want to miss out on this beta man!!!
But I don’t want to double dip for a game…
Just “Add” your game to steam.
you can add any game you have to steam.

I kinda like it they are making it more “squad-based” than RTS based. Lots of micro-management and the leveling up looks fun as hell.
Too bad I just got back to school, spending money on books/classes so I don’t see myself upgrading my piece of shit computer anytime soon. :sad:
Lookin’ forward to DoW2. I like the scale they have going. The pickable leaders for Space Marines are like… A Techmarine, an Apothecary and I think a Sergeant. Looks like it’ll be a lot of micro but it seems like it’s gonna be a whole lot of fun. Hell! I’m even looking forward to the single player and I don’t like Space Marines much at all!
Christmas got me started on my Dark Eldar army. Wound up with basically every HQ choice, some Sybarites, Drazhar and 8 Grotesques. While it’s a weird place for starting I am pretty damn satisfied. And on the Fantasy front I have a Beastherd and I’m really not sure what army to go with between Beasts of Chaos (Right now they apparently are TERRIBLE) and Tomb Kings. Love both their fluff, models, etc. I can see myself playing every army in Fantasy. At least the choice for 40K was obvious to me.

ok. Now my Eye spies a little interesting tidbit.
Force Commander = Regular Commander Power Armor
Force Commander =40 secs into the Video = TERMINATOR ARMOR!
WTF!
That looks so fucking sick. Cyclone missle launchers, terminator armored commanders, busting through walls, and even the old beaky helmets. Damn.
It’s probably an upgrade or… God forbid a WC3-esque leveling system… We don’t need this to be Herohammer 40K. I kinda doubt it will considering how they were in DoW but still.
its supposedly just a Wargear Armor set you can find during Campaign
the guy who did it was using cheats so im sure this would be far less likely to be found early game.
