I must say the idol animations looked proppa orky. Deff dreads looked pretty fun.

The trukks just fired the ork boyz out like missiles at the enemies....

Y'know, the over-the-top animations and general haphazard approach to how units move and fight REALLY works well for the Orks.

The rest of the armies? Not really.

And yes, catapulting boyz out of a trukk? Yeah, that's awesome.

Yeah, they totally stole the catapult idea from Red Alert 3's Bullfrog APC




And yet DOW3 will not allow me to fire War Bears out of a Man Cannon at my enemy. 0/10 do not buy.

Hmm, got some lore stuff for Gorgutz. The reason he's wearin yellow is because he's apparently working Mercenary.. I wonder who he's specifically working merc too.

Boyz getting shot out of a Trukk? I'm sold.

TheEyeOfNight- I swear, this thread is 70% smack talk, 20% RP organization, and 10% butt jokes

Space Marine flyers are shaped for the greatest possible air resistance so that the air may never defeat the SPACE MARINES!
Sternguard though, those guys are all about kicking ass. They'd chew bubble gum as well, but bubble gum is heretical. Only tau chew gum

That looked sweet. Loved the number of boyz on the screen in that last clip. Also bomb squigs!

I chose an avatar I feel best represents the quality of my post history.

I try to view Warhammer as more of a toolbox with examples than fully complete games.

So let's see if I can accurately get all the units shown..

Gorgutz (Warbozz, Gigantic Power Klaw)
Shoota Boyz
Nobz (With Electro-Axes? They spark a bit)
Weirdboy (Elite I'm guessing)
Trukks
Tankbusters (With multirockets and SQUIG BOMBS)
Deff Koptas
Deff Dreads
Big Mek (in Mega Armourwith Tellyport blasta, Elite likely)
Lootas.
Converted tank? (Unknown Weapon)
Killa Kans
Morkanaut (Elite)

I wonder how well the scrap system will do (And why they aren't deathskullz as a result of their new lootin wayz. )

I saw what Gabriel Angelos looks like now. He looks like he got ran over by a Battlewagon. I love it!

He may as well have been after the brutalisation he took from Kyras It suits an antihero such as him, who has been through a lot more than the average Marine would expect over their lifetime, physically and emotionally.

I once heard a phrase that there are no good guys in 40k. After reading the Blood Ravens omnibus I have to agree, but Angelos is now my favorite Marine character in the lore

Anyone who thinks there are good guys in 40k, doesn't understand 40k.

Anyone who thinks the Imperium will 'win' 40k, doesn't understand 40k.

Oh yes, absolutely not But the devs of DOW3 put it right by saying that we can sympathise with such "heroes" in certain aspects, despite their track records making us hesitant from time to time. Angelos certainly has more blood on his hands than most, but we still root for him despite that; if there's one thing that I will say that defines Dawn of War from any other strategy game, and even amongst all of 40k's lore, it is the depth they manage to put into characters who are usually expected to be very one dimensional and very single minded.

I have only played DoW: Soulstorm (Sisters campaign) and watched the (in)famous METAL BAWKSES and STHEEL REINS video, so I missed it .

To be fair, plenty of people remember several characters from that one as well. I mean after-all you aren't forgetting Carrion and Boreale no matter how hard you try.
