Subject: Re:New Dawn of War incoming?! (Dawn of War twitter: May 3rd announcement)
As per the orders of Governer-General Stubbs’ sub-auxilliary executive commissioner of planetary affairs, we are pleased to announce… that tomorrow at 1100 hours there will be a formal parade of 252nd Conservator troops and heavy armor, before they are deployed to the field of battle. Attendance is mandatory. Daily Eclipse editorial looks forward to seeing you all there. Among the parade retinue will be 10,000 Guardsmen, two refitted Baneblades, and a newly arrived company of Kasrkin Guard, direct from the frontlines on Cadia.
ou will come and wish our troops well. Twelve processional troops will play anthems of the Imperium, and Valkyries will perform flying maneuvers overhead. We have been asked to remind you to heed all Adeptus Arbites direction immediately, as they are authorized to respond with force of arms.

Or even a spiritual successor that doesn't even necessarily follow the same story. Dawn of War will likely end up as a simulator of the tabletop game. Of course, I could see not wanting a TPS 40K game due to it possibly stepping on the toes of Eternal Crusade.

We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

They've built Robohammer into it, just like 40k is going.
So, despite no fliers being shown, A lot of what else is in the codexes is likely to be there.

Step into a brutal battle between three warring factions
In Dawn of War® III you will have no choice but to face your foes when a catastrophic weapon is found on the mysterious world of Acheron.
With war raging and the planet under siege by the armies of greedy Ork warlord Gorgutz, ambitious Eldar seer Macha, and mighty Space Marine commander Gabriel Angelos, supremacy must ultimately be suspended for survival. UNLEASH THE GIANTS Take control of towering war machines and tip the balance of battle in your favor with the biggest characters in Dawn of War history. Turn the tide with the mighty Imperial Knight (Space Marine), the clattering Gorkanaut (Ork), or the haunting Wraithknight (Eldar). COLOSSAL BATTLES Dawn of War is famous for its epic action and those immense clashes are back - but now they're off-the-scale. Wage war with massive armies across violent volcanic terrain or onboard battlecruisers travelling fast through space. CALL UP YOUR ELITE Take your battle plans to another level by deploying powerful collectible elite squads, each boasting their own special abilities and bonuses that will help you unlock and develop new attacking strategies to conquer your foes. DESTRUCTIVE ABILITIES Cause devastation on the battlefield with powerful super-abilities. Rain down total destruction on your enemies with the Space Marine's Orbital Bombardment, the Eldar's blistering Eldritch Storm or the Ork’s Rokks to counter your unsuspecting rivals. THREE-FACTION CAMPAIGN Learn what makes each force formidable through alternating missions. You'll soon come to understand the combat advantages of Space Marines, Orks, and Eldar and the rules of a universe with no heroes or villains… only war. ONE ARMY TO RULE Build your own universal army from the very first moment you are matched in a melee. Progress through battle after battle with loyal troops by your side across both challenging campaign missions and dominating multiplayer maps. A NEW DAWN ONLINE Your army will wreak havoc in online co-operative mode. Join the multiplayer community and forge new alliances - then turn the tables on your new 'friends' as they become foes in explosive, chaotic and competitive maps.
There's the Steam info.

Even so, it's probably about time to get hype.
Though, I was hoping a stompa would come along and destroy the knight that destroyed the wraithknight that destroyed the deff dread.
Trailer gets extra points for being extra cruel to grots. I love it.
The steampage says they get 'naughts.
They even made the imp knight look dynamic, kudos!
So, SM get knights, eldar get wraithknights, orks get deff dreads? I'd say I'm surprised about orks getting the short end of the stick yet again, but I honestly can't say that I am.
Edit: Oh, Orkanauts. Right. That's only a little less one-sided, at least tabletop wise.
Also, GORTUTZ IS BACK. Good ol' gorgutz.

Among other thoughts I've found Banshee's armour very intriguing. Usually it's easy to imagine clean and polished look of any Eldar armours, giving them more rough but still maintaining organic look is brilliant idea in my view.

Not sure what you're complaining about to be honest. In DoW1, the Orks got a frickin' Squiggoth! Space Marines got... a Land Raider.

Well, this was a weird animation. From the completely nonsensical free-for-all battle, the Eldar living in xenomorph hives, the Marine statue spontaneously transmuting into a large quantity of live Orks, to Space Marine armour apparently being so paper light that it flutters in the wind.
The old meta is dead and the new meta struggles to be born. Now is the time of munchkins.
