Does anyone else (other than caragarapdf) play WH40k games, such as the Dawn of War series? Just sayin, they're what helped get me into all this.

Somebody dose, becasue they keep making games.

I play all the DoW, and I would play DoW2 if my PC could run it. Its also what got me into gaming. So I play.

I played the original DoW, but I could never get a hold of Soul Storm (which was the only expansion I wanted), and my laptop can't run DoW2 either, which was kind of upsetting because I bought it before I realized that. I spent about two days trying to get it to play...

And then recently my laptop's hard drive broke, so I had to get a whole new one and not much was recovered from the old one, so I haven't re-installed DoW. (It's usually just a no-internet fallback game for me though, because I don't care for the campaign of the original DoW.)

Yeah, the Dawn of War games are pretty popular among Warhams and RTS buffs alike. I'm really looking forward to Space Marine, especially now that it's been announced it's coming to PC as well as Xbox 360. As for the MMO, I hope it's absolutely fantastic or absolutely horrible. I don't want to spend 12 bucks a month on something I don't enjoy.

Played DoW and all expansions. Playing through the Soulstorm campaign again as IG for kicks... played Space Marines the first time I beat it. Artillery makes everything easy, as it turns out!

Played DoW2 and Chaos Rising multiple times (the whole corruption mechanic lends itself to LOTS of different second-to-last boss battles).

Will play Space Marine and the MMO.

I played Dow in Afghanistan, but only an "evaluation" copy was annoyed by the multiplayer mode only tau vs orks. Don't know if it was better in any other but wtf.


On a side not I'd love a game that is I identical to the table top version that would be awesome. And good for play testing armies

Awesome. Me and cara play dow2 and he intro'd me to all the tabletop stuff. I'm having a hard time deciding whether to get space marine or not. I llllllove 40k, but usually dont have too much fun on RPG games. Still, going around with a chainsword does sound fun.

Ever heard of Vassal?

I play DoW (original), DoW 2, Warcraft (Which would have been a Warhammer game if GW weren't asses to Blizzard) and Starcraft/Starcraft 2 (which would have been 40k games if GW weren't asses to Blizzard). So yeah.

SaintHazard...what is Vassal. I'm very intrigued now.

AHH He is talking about me as if i am not here!

Meh. I'm just a guardsmen wtf do I care.

Google vassal 40k and you will find out :p it seems cool
