http://relicnews.com/archives/2007/03/dark-crusade-12-patch-live/

[catchafire]

I’ve been playing Company of Heroes lately, which is another game by Relic, and they have butchered the game with the recent patch release.

[MrBlank]

yeah i pretty much got all the relic RTS games with the exception of impossible creatures.

i love COH but i need variety i finished playing the campaign on it and the multiplayer is just too crazy for my tastes.

be nice if we could pick the germans, americans, brittish or the japanese all seperately.

but yes the COH looks ownage on hell on my PC…

[MrBlank]

Peep it out

http://www.bargainbingamer.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2_114&gclid=CL229prewIsCFSnKggoddjdBJg

for those who care.

[MrBlank]

So i didnt know this but at Tier 3 ORKS get free Slugga Boyz…

Fuckkkked UP! as if it was hard enough to keep their large numbers in check they get freebees with Torches…

[Geese_Pants]

Aint that some shit…but now I’m cool with it because of my new PC setup.

Intel Core Duo + 2GB RAM +Raptor HDD + Geforce8800 GTS = Eye candy ALL DAY!!!

I’ll be re-installing all the DoW games shortly…can I still load the games without the CD’s?
I want to see of I can have an 8 player all orc match w/ all the settings maxed out…drool!!!

[MrBlank]

yeah you dont need the CD to play the game.

for some reason Relic RTS games dont care about the CD.

dude i got everything maxed out myself and holy crap the game doesnt chug.

[Zazzarius]

yeah you dont need the CD to play the game.

for some reason Relic RTS games dont care about the CD.

dude i got everything maxed out myself and holy crap the game doesnt chug.

well the original game came out the few years ago, so the graphics aren’t top of the line anymore

still fun as all hell

[MrBlank]

so ive been playing chaos and any MASS race seems to get the best of me. like ORKZ and fucking NECRONS and IG. i dont know how to handle thousands of units considering my shits so expensive.

[Geese_Pants]

I installed Dow and the expansions on my new comp…and it kicks ass.

Much smoother gameplay, even with all the eye candy on.

Necrons looks so pretty…

[Takahashi]

Last after seeing the StarCraft II Cinematic trailer,
I was thinking of how I always thought, and still think that the implants
of Space Marines from the Warhammer 40.000 universe are so scary.

And suddenly some video games names popped in to my head and I found them:

Space Crusade
http://www.abandonia.com/games/928/download/SpaceCrusade.htm
Here I started to dislike PC speaker sound.
I have this game original somewhere.

Space Hulk
http://www.abandonia.com/games/421/SpaceHulk
I paid more attention to the tabletop game then this actually.

At that time I was also playing the tabletop game Warhammer Epic 40.000.
After finishing high school I eventually sold everything.
I still have a Titan left for keepsake.
Never came around to actually build it, it does have a layer of Skull White.
I came that far before quiting, now it is just there in the box.

Damn they where much more expensive back then.
I now also remember that I hate getting Games Workshop Super Glue on my fingers,
Or any super glue for that matter.

[MrBlank]

wow didnt realize EA made a space hulk game. 1993. thats pretty damn oldschool too.

yeah i got an entire Chaos Megapack sitting there unopened. i promised myself i would get it painted but now i work so much that doesnt look like anytime soon.

Warhammer 40K invades handhelds

Earlier this year, THQ announced it had signed on Vigil Games to bring the Waaagh!! invasion to the massively multiplayer online scene with an as-yet-unnamed Warhammer 40,000 MMOG. To help humanity prepare for the oncoming horde, THQ announced today Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command, a portable turn-based strategy game that centers on the conflict between the Imperium of Man and the malevolent race known as the Chaos. Squad Command will ship for the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable this fall.

On both handheld platforms, Squad Command will feature single-player and multiplayer modes. The single-player campaign follows the Imperium’s Ultramarines over the course of 13 missions as they fend off Chaos forces.

In multiplayer mode, players will be able to join together online to compete against opponents from a worldwide pool in one of nine missions. The multiplayer mode also lets gamers play as either the Imperium or Chaos factions. According to THQ, Squad Command will fully make use of the two platforms portable functionality, including the DS’s dual screens and stylus controls, but no mention was made of local or ad hoc play.

Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command has not yet been rated or priced.

I’ll probably be on the lookout for this game…since I got both handhelds.

[MrBlank]

For those interested in seeing the many painted armys broken down into their respective classes some guy has a really nice site.

Necrons:

some of those are really clean paintjobs. so hopefully this works as a lil inspiration for those who were interested in looking at how the necron army tends to look.

my favorite race…

Im actually getting my battleforce painted by a friend as we speak. The only reason i cant have it painted myself is i dont have the time. in turn i will be hooking him up with a Eldar Set. but in general he loves painting so yeah its a pretty nice deal we got going.

Hey guys, been getting a stronger interest in Warhammer MMO daily(set on being a Chaos Chosen) and was thinking about buying the miniatures in the meantime, maybe picking up Chaos army peices. Is it hard/expensive to learn/play? What do you need to get started besides an army?

It is expensive, yes, but not so much that it’s more expensive than any other hobby (a friend of mine kiteboards, and he laughed in my face when I told him my hobby was expensive and started rattling off numbers).

The first thing you need is the rulebook. Now, the $50 OMG super-mega-hardback is awesome and pretty much indestructible, but the little booklet you get in the Battle for Macragge starter kit has all the rules in it, just not all the pretty pictures, and is only $45 and comes with miniatures (no Chaos, but minis nonetheless).

As far as the army is considered, you need the appropriate codex for the army, in yor case Chaos. Now, you may not want to buy the Chaos book, as the new Chaos army book and miniatures are coming out in September and they’re changing a LOT. www.warseer.com/forums is a great place to start checking out info and asking a lot of experienced Chaos players on their advice.

When building the army, buy it in small chunks. You never know how effective a certain unit will be, or even if you will like the ‘feel’ of it on the tabletop. Go with a Lord and two squads of marines, maybe a squad of raptors or havocs too. Should give you a nice little core force. Definitely don’t buy the Chaos Terminators yet, because the new plastic ones are coming out with the army book, and oh my God are they the hotness. Warseer has pics of them somewhere.

Thanks a lot for the wealth of information Dan?, definantely gonna take your advice and wait on the army/miniatures, would coincide nicely with my birthday. I’m definantely gonna check Warseer out for strats and whatnot.
