^ I have indeed done that already, Insider.

Thanks for that link though! Looks like I'll be buying it off Amazon - almost £10 off with free shipping; great deal.

Although somehow it's supposed to be £39.99 when American's have it at $39.99. Exchange rates 'n' all that.

Thanks for everyone who tried to help me with my problem, They got back to me and I know whats wrong: My Video card driver thing is outdated, and I need to purchase a new download, so I will have to wait till tomorrow to play it.

I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.

Strange, downloads are usually to fix existing programs, not parts of the computer.. eh, whatever, I'm glad to hear it's working for you (or will be..).

Slarg232 - do you mean the drivers for your card?
They're normally free, at least in my experience. I'd suggest looking at the manufacturer's site.

Yes, I did, thank you for that correction.

I was redirected to Toshiba's site by the guy I was talking to for the e-mail. After it's diagnosis, it said that I was using 47 outdated programs

Chaos info on the DoW2 community site. Noise marines are their new unit.

Nice, though I wish they were an upgrade to the Chaos Space Marine unit, like giving them the Mark of Khorne/Mark of Tzeentch. Though I suppose they fit alongside Plague Marines in being their own thing.

Also, I hope they add in more than one unit, so you can get an entire Slaanesh force going, but I doubt it.

Well, every race is getting its own super heavy unit, and that's suggesting that the GUO is not super heavy.

So.. Baneblades and Land Raiders everyone!

Any word on additional heroes?

Wouldn't mind a Slaaneshi focus lord, then you have a hero for all the gods.

You're stuck with Eliphas..The Inheritor? He seems to have grave-robbed Araghast the Pillager's body and stolen the armour. Now he looks like a slow.

I'm more interested in the Imperial Guard Commander/General, Lord Commissar and Witch Hunter Inquisitor. Oh, and the fact that when you start off with Diomedes, he's about a million times crapper than in CR.

No, just the ones that don't have one yet. The GUO and Avatar are already superheavy units, and they're going to be on par with land raiders and baneblades.

Ah, right. So Land Raider, Baneblade and one of the Eldar Super-Heavy vehicles?

The Avatar is just pathetic, I reckon. I highly doubt that in a competetive game it will be used regularly. Money is where mouth is.

Nah, they'll definitely be sticking with three. The Eldar Autarch proves that.

Sad day, I really liked how I could pick a different god, and a completely different playstyle, per game. Not having Slaanesh included just feels kind of.... lazy? to me.

By the way, do we have any news on the other units/heroes for the Space Marines and any of the other races? Because Thaddeus, Arkus, Cyrus, Thule, Tarkus and Jonah won't be in it for sure.

The Chaotic customisation award will forever be with zureal13.

The game is just that. A game. It's not made for its background correctness, but for seeing spacemans blow stuff up.



Edit: I will be pretty annoyed if we have another IG vs SM thing.. that was the only downside to DC.

Nope, the Eldar get the Autarch as their new unit. The superheavies are like this:

Chaos: Great Unclean One
Eldar: Avatar
Imperial Guard: Baneblade
Orks: Battlewagon
Space Marines: Land Raider Redeemer
Tyranids: Swarmlord

Chaos and Eldar get the Noise Marines and Autarch, respectively.

Well heck, my brain really isn't working considering I've just realised I already knew that stuff, Melissia . Except for the Battlewagon and the Redeemer, which is pretty nifty. They just want the pred, Devastators and Terminators to be the anti-tank.

Yes, as soon as their website starts working, go look it up on DoW2's community site.

But still! The Gods demand it!

.... The Gods also demanded a Greater Daemon entry with it changing per Lord, too. That would ahve been far to much work, though. Despite how awesome it would ahve been.

Well actually, I will say some more. It's got basically every single rule/unit in the official codexes for all the DC races.

Edit: Plus everything's the right size, armour saves/stats are taken into account and hell, there's even some forgeworld stuff in there!

Yeah, AFAIK they still haven't adapted it to Soulstorm, so I couldn't be arsed to care. Regardless, this is a DoW2 thread, not a whateverstorm over kronus thread, so let's stay on topic.


Obnoxiously enough, it seems like most THQ sites are down for maintenance right now.

A bit of off-topic is healthy for a thread, as wierd as it sounds.
