Arcane Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Yes.. that's right. Relic is working on another Dawn of War expansion. This one will include TWO NEW RACES, one of them which is confirmed to be the Tau. I'm so freaking excited. This is going to bring the total up to 7 playable races. And the Tau are so fucking awesome. Anyone have any guesses about the 7th race? I kind of want to see the Necron myself... Link to comment
Baltar Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I would guess the necrons as well, however thats going to be so much of a n00b race. Dark eldar could come into play or the tyranids, both are pretty popular races tabletop wise. Link to comment
Belial Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I wouldn't mind Dark Eldar, though I think Necrons would be lame. They've already set it up to be Necrons though, what with the ending of Winter Assualt and all. Sisters of Battle would be awesome, but they really don't have enough different units to work with.

Ceraziefish Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I hope it's Nids myself. Tau are sweet. When I played Warhammer 40K, I played Tau (and I may still pick the game up again, at some undefined point in the future when I have money). Tyranids are probably my second favorite. I don't really like Necrons. Very boring, IMO. Dark Eldar I don't really care for. I wish they would make a Gorkamorka expansion, though. Or stand alone game. I don't care. I want Gorkamorka.

Galkar Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 As a Tyranid player (well, I never really play, but when I do I'm them) and a Tau collector, the Tau part makes me very happy and I really hope and expect that the other race will be Tyranids. Link to comment
Belial Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Its going to be Necrons, like I said. Too bad there's no way to change Relic's mind. Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 But Necrons suck. "What, you killed him? Alright. There's still a 2/3rds chance HE'S STILL ALIVE." Link to comment
Belial Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 But Necrons suck. "What, you killed him? Alright. There's still a 2/3rds chance HE'S STILL ALIVE." Exactly, thats why they'd be the new Lamor race, replacing Chaos and Space Marines. Link to comment
Arcane Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 Exactly, thats why they'd be the new Lamor race, replacing Chaos and Space Marines. I have to imagine they'd need to severely nerf their reviving ability in order to keep some semblance of balance. Link to comment
Baltar Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 or make them expensive as hell like in the table top game. Link to comment
troN Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 or maybe space marines > all Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 or make them expensive as hell like in the table top game. All I know is that the one time I played against Necrons their revive ability was entirely too good. I could kill 50% of them every turn and my enemy got at least 1/3rd of them back (he wasn't rolling very well, either). While, on the other hand, with average rolls he could destroy my army.

Excel Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Tyranids will never work out, since they're such an obvious rip off of the Zerg. Link to comment
Belial Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Tyranids will never work out, since they're such an obvious rip off of the Zerg. I just shit myself from the outrageousness of that statement. Warhammer 40k was created in 1987 and Tyranids where one of the original races. Link to comment
Excel Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I'm saying that's what they'll be seen as, not that's what they are. Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Xenomorphs from Alien --> Tyranids --> Zerg This is the hierarchy. There is no deviation. Link to comment
Belial Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Xenomorphs from Alien --> Tyranids --> Zerg This is the hierarchy. There is no deviation. While it would be hard to deny the influence that Alien had on Games-Workshop's development of the Tyranids, it is still an influence, where as the Zerg come dangerously close to blatant rip-off.

Ceraziefish Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Yes, yes, the relationship is not as blatant. But it is still a strong relationship. EDIT: And anyway, I see no reason why the Tyranids would have to play at ALL like the Zerg. Link to comment

Arcane Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 Hot diggity dog. Link to comment
Belial Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 The new single player is going to be like Axis and Allies or Risk, but all 40k like.... There are no words for my excitement. Link to comment
Arcane Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 The commander customization looks cool too. I just hope that if they implement that in online play that it isn't over powered, like the heroes in LotR: BfME 2. Link to comment
