Warhammer 40k dawn of war.

[I Hate Pants]

Anyone here downloaded the open beta? I got it. What can I say? Its fuckn' awsome!

This game kicks soo much ass. It's exactly like the board game on the computer. You've got your difficult terrain and cover to give you extra defence.

I just want to know because im willing to play a round with some folks here.

My orks will kick your ass any day.

eh website link plz. Ill sign up for beta,im an old warhammer fan.My best army was Imperial,I had like 25000 points alone in them.Next was Eldar i had like 5,000 and i had a small band of Space Marines,i used them for scenario stuff,not sure point wise,but i had 1 main leader,1 sub leader,and like 5 terminator and 8 regular troops,3 with missles rest with reg guns.

Havent played in ALONG time tho,I tried to play like 4 months ago and had basicly forgot all the rules.Still warhammer rules

[I Hate Pants]

Open beta is on fileplanet. Take a number...

I know what you mean. Haven't played Warhammer 40k in a year now. Don't have the time and patience for it anymore. But this game seems like a great substitute.

[cyberkiller]

I've been playin since begining of beta, Closed..WOOO! and yea DoW rocks. hard. :rock:

[Dharkbayne]

16 Eldar Council Seers or whatever, with their double swords, + the Eldar Commander chick = Ownage. They seriously won't die.

[firecrackerNC]

Eh they need to add more races.Wheres my imperial Guard at? they rule.Mass infantry with mass tanks was ownage\

Eh i dont know whats up either tho,it lags on this machine pretty bad.I dunno gonna restart and hope it works better

They just picked the more "popular" and easy to recognize races, for simplicity, and for balance reasons (Pretty hard to balance 10+ completely seperate races all against eachother)

I downloaded the game before I left for work. I can't wait to get home and try it out.

[oddfish]

i'm excited.. yay.

[Pilgrim]

This game really does rock.

My only problem is the entire micro-management aspect.

I give my troops Grenades it would be swell for them to just use them when Apporopriate, not require me to select the squad, click on grenade button, Select target, then do it again for each squad I want using Nades... Or tank bustas, or what have you.

Other then that I find this to be a pretty satisfying RTS... not as good as some, but with the 40k feel and fluff it's worth it.

Oh yeah, and why do ann Gretchins sound like Ghoulum?

I love gretchins, I don't know if you still can, but in v1, you could reinforce with no cost, so you could make swarms of midgets with knives and guns.

mmmmm
Midget Swarm

[JetRaiden]

I saw a video and I thought it was really cool. I need to try this.

[firecrackerNC]

Eh this games weird.Take like 10 minutes for the game to load up,then i get to a please wait loading screen which is another 10 minutes then the game is overall laggy.

[Retroactive]

Downloading

[Glaynor]

No lag at all for me. The game is incredible. The amount of variations you can do make it feel like playing the table top version. I am absolutely stoked for the release.

[Biohazzard56]

Eldars own. Aside from that give me some Land Raiders and 3 Terminator Squads and I can pizzown anything.

[Retroactive]

God this game rules

[Dharkbayne]

Argh, I was playing 2v2, me and my teammate were Eldar, against 1 Space marine and 1 Chaos space marine (I think) on the new 4 person map, we'd set up at a choke point, turrets, mines, tons of troops, they weren't getting through, we had tons of guys, they were about to attack, and then MY TEAMMATE DROPS, :( so BOOM, half the guys, so their combined forces can just run in and rip my fuck to pieces. :mad:

I want to call you on that 25k point army.... even a 5,000 point army took at least 3 months to make. If you had IP, then painting all those li'l guardsmen would've taken a bit, and the tanks would've taken a bit to paint, unless you didn't, but I should shut up now because I think I'm starting to sound like an idiot.



Link please?

[firecrackerNC]

Actually I never painted my own stuff. I painted my space marines but I had pros paint other stuff. I suck as an artist and wanted a pro look. I did put my stuff togethor tho with help from my dad. All in all it took about a year for my army to be complete and LOTS LOTS LOTS of money.

[Everay]

man, i wanted to get into warhammer, but the starter kit is like 200 bucks, and there are not that many people to play with, that i know of, aka, fuck that, looks cool, but isnt worth it, not around here at least.
