I liked the loot and upgrade system for squad leaders from DoW2 but I hated the removal of base building, and the offensively tiny number of units we got to use at once. I'm not sure I want a DoW3 considering how big a step back it was in everything except storytelling, which is always a secondary concern in Warhammer 40k.

Horus Heresy books seem fine, but I just don't want to start them because of the setting.
That whole part should have been remained mystery, as something no one would like to talk about or simply couldn't because barely anyone knows anything about the details.

>>324187568
Try reading any in the top level or try Horus Rising. I find the setting to be more fulfilling than vanilla 40k

Guys how do I become an OP as shit Psyker?

The EMPRAH's a pretty cool dude, being Alpha Level ans shit.

But how do I go further beyond?


Also, I love the Grey Knights - fucking come at me.

>>324186837
I enjoyed Descent of Angels, probably because it had an interesting medieval-ish setting for most of the book. Know No Fear is definitely God tier though.

I want to get into 40k but there's so much fucking lore and so many different groups, (isn't there at least 50 factions of Space Marines alone?), it looks daunting as fuck to get into this whole thing.

>Nemesis
>Not God Emperor tier

Most of the rest of the list is correct.

Dark Angels need their own tier beneath the rest because of how bad it is. Literally the only HH books I just threw away after being done with them because I knew I would never read them again.

Am I the only one who likes DoW2 a lot?

mainly because it did away with the god awful pathfinding of the first game and it had proper fun campaigns again. Also the way you upgraded commanders was really fun. It would be nice if they kept all the new mechanics such as cover, destroyable walls, etc. but raise the number of troops in battle again. I can see them sticking with the numbers they had for SMs and CSMs and raising the number of troops for all other factions

DoW2 expansion was good, it made your characters way too OP.

I've always wanted to get into 40k but there is so much fucking lore, it looks too daunting to start.

I wish I could be a siege dreadnought.

That close combat powerdrill designed to open up buildings, tanks and whatever the fuck else. Wrist mounted heavy flamer on my CCW.

Right arm replaced with a flamestorm cannon or a multimelta.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6g6QdTeJFs

Chaos dreadnought. Wrist mounted melta (treated like a shotgun in the spehss marheen game), dreadnought class lightning claw, twin linked autocannon. Sometimes they have hull mounted storm bolters, (smoke) grenade launchers and vox speakers.

>>324188230
>>324188089

Play Dawn of War, lurk 40k threads, read up on some of the lore like space marine chapters, the emperor, the warp, basically whatever

Continue playing DoW and look at other material like books

It's really not complicated to get into. I was like that myself at first but once you start getting into it there's really no brakes on the train.

>>324188089
Pffft. Read up on the original chapters. All these newer-ish ones of like the.. third founding? Are all off shoots of the fucking Ultramarines, the mary sue's of the Spec Marhens.

Read Guants Ghosts, Ciaphas Cain, Eisenhorn, Ravenor. For like a general setting and the fact they're a pretty good read. From there you can read those god awful Space Marine novels.

there were 20 original legions with 20 primarchs.

Two primarchs and their legions we know absolutely nothing about.

18 legions, 18 primarchs, 9 loyalist, 9 traitor.

All other chapters come from these legions (Primarchs were made in the image of the emperor and space marines were made in the image of their primarchs via gene-seed).

Power in the imperium very much comes from just how useful you are to the emperor. It is a top down system (power comes from the emperor) rather than a bottom up system (like a meritocracy where power comes from the people who voted you in etc).

Reading some of the codices is a great way to start learning about the factions. As can simply reading some of the novels. Anything by aaron dembski-bowden or dan abnett is amazing, avoid anything written by c.s. goto.

The problem with this response, is it's missing the point of the article. The article was bullshit, but they're wrong. The article was "Why isn't there more female models?". Essentially the guy was going

>Why should a publically owned company try and make as much money as possible? They should pander to minorities!
>They should make expensive new models for the small amount of people who want them!
>It's not like they've been in the business for 40 odd years and are likely to know more than me (at least now Kirby as gone)
>It's not like those who WANT female models can't buy models...Oh wait, they can. At least half a dozen companies provide proxy SoB and Imperial Guard (women). Oh and it's not like an ENTIRE COMPANY is designed about providing female minis.

What genera would be best for a 40k game

It basically made the point of saying that people on Terra knew of Horus' treachery before Garro's flight from Isstvaan V. It also did nothing spectacular for the overall plot.

>>324191292
>it detracts pretty far from the first one in terms of characters.

Not really, it has returning characters from the first game. Particularly Gabriel Angelos, Thule and Eliphas. Kronus campaign and Kaurava are mentioned fairly often

It has different mechanics, but it's still a great game. Autists just get mad over it because instead of managing xbox hueg armies you now only use small squads and don't get access to a lot of shit like land raiders.

The campaign for DoW2 is still fantastic though

Turn based tactics can work quite well.

Imagine a final fantasy tactics (or fire emblem or tactics ogre) type game.

Base units that you can recruit are Guardsmen, Adepts, Space marine scout, Sororita and Psykana.

Guardsmen may advance into arbites, squad commanders or w/e, maybe even into assassins.

Adepts can maybe advance into mechanicum adepts and the like.

Space marines scouts advance into marines (tactical, assault, devastator) and then into more specific jobs (librarian, chaplain, champion, apothecary etc). They may eventually be able to turn into dreadnoughts.

Sororita are kind of like guardsmen, but better, and eventually get some miracle bullshit.

Psykana are verymuch the WITNESS YOUR DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM type.

For non-mechanicum/ecclesiarchy mortals, they can via fulfilling special requirements advance to the ranks of inquisitor.

Obviously this is because GW is sexist pigs, not because just about nobody plays or buys Sisters of Battle and it would be a money pit to update them.

>The pc version is pretty good
No genestealer AI isnt' good. They took the board game rules for single player and put used it in their game because they were lazy fucks. Shortest path to closest marine is stupid and makes the game too easy because you can easily set up kill zones that the genestealers have almost no chance of getting through unless there's a gun jam, so you keep an action point free for the auto-unjam.

Vect thinks Lady Malys is trying to take his power.

But he isn't. He's trying to PREVENT that from happening. But Malys is misunderstanding the situation.

Lets be honest, they're not asking for female models, they're demanding female hero characters. Partly because they don't know the Sisters of Battle are a thing and also because they want generic tough bad bitch butch lesbo looking characters.

There's this weird as fuck mental gymnastics shit going on where women are just as capable as men on the battlefield, but they are just so gosh darn awesome that they can under no realistic reasons in their minds be susceptible to all the horrid shit that makes war stories so interesting in the first place.

No PTSD, no severed limbs, no bullet trauma, none of that shit, that's far beneath the amazing female heroes!

I think they ignore characters like Kat from Halo Reach and Lt. Mira from an actual fucking 40k game because they were treated as people trapped in a war instead of an overwhelming force that exists to empower people through war.

Got retconned, just like Khornate Knights.

That even never happened. It's been replaced by Shield of Baal campaign. Dante joined forces with the Necrons, but didn't trust them and planned to backstab them when the Nids had been dealt with. In the end, Dante and his forces escaped and like 70% of the fleet was destroyed. Not enough though.

While some of the factions like IG, Orks and Tyranids could actually use a boost in squad sizes and number of squads you can use in battle, the mechanics in DoW2 are far superior to those in the first game by far. Not to mention the campaigns are also much better than the pseudo campaigns from DC and SS

As for CoH2, it's good now.

But, you're forgetting ONE thing. Relic produced those on a budget. They're now OWNED by SEGA, who don't mind giving out the cash (but do demand that cash back with DLC).

So, I think you have too little faith.

How is it bait? Name me a single thing DoW1 did better than DoW2 except accurately representing numbers for SOME of the factions

If you think in any way having base building was a plus, you're fucking retarded. It had absolutely no purpose in game other than fucking with the pathfinding even further. It was such a non element it might as well have not been there.

DoW3 should really be a combination of DoW1&2. Keep the new mechanics from DoW2 like cover, destructible environments, using buildings for sniping/improvised bunkers, small squads for SMs and absolutely no base building for them but incorporate large numbers of troops for IG, Orks, and Tyranids, keep some of the buildings depending on the faction but also keep the hero system from DoW2 that allows you to upgrade your commander units

I love the first DoW but it has some of the worst fucking mechanics I've ever seen in an RTS

>>324193289
>Space Marines don't build bases.
Depends on the chapter and the reason that they were made.

Fleet based chapters don't build bases. Some chapters are literally made just so they can staff a fortress monastery in some bumfuck place.

>>324193407
No it fucking isn't. I'm not that guy, but see >>324193289

Show me one piece of fluff where Space Marines build bases and train dudes in them. Or build factories on the floor to shoot out tanks?

Orks and IG are literally the only people who might build bases. Space Marines are strike forces. Eldar uses Webways. Dark Eldar use Webways. Necrons use Webways (or have a Tomb World already). Tau use Manta's and other shit to land troops down. Nids don't build bases.

Get it? Get why DoW2 is more like the setting?

If you don't like it, fine, that's perfectly fine, but DoW2 had better cover system, better graphics, better sound. The RPG and loot system was fun.

Instead of having to build bases to actually get fighting (and deal with the retarded AI) you could jump down and get into combat straight away.

It isn't PERFECT, but it's more like the fluff.

DoW3 needs to be a combination. It needs minor base building, but it needs to be better implemented.

They build a base, give it to the IDF, then leave. Imperial Fists and Black Templars build bases for IDF and for new recruits to try to become Space Marines. But DoW treated Space Marines like easy things to produce.

IG don't build factories on the planet to produce tanks to kill the enemies on the planet.

Well sure, DoW2 could take a lot from CoH to be really great but it's also mechanically a step up from DoW 1. For one maps need to stop being literal alleys and go back to the larger maps of DoW1, we agree on that. More tactical moves like blowing up walls to flank enemies, creating artificial barriers through terrain, blowing up bridges and such. They were present in Retribution, just need to allow them in skirmishes. Also adjust unit size according to faction. Have Nids and Orks have massive numbers, but factions like SMs have much smaller numbers while being tougher. No retarded shit like techmarines building bases to pump out predators and land raiders

>>324194098
>None build bases to produce units in to fight on THAT planet. At best they build defences and then leave.

>>324194854

i fucking knew that would be the response

seriously though this guy draws the cutest sisters of battle

The best way to handle unit production for a hypothetical DoW III would be to make it faction specific.

Space Marines drop units straight into combat, no base building whatsoever.

Eldar build webway gates that they reinforce from, no basebuilding beyond the gates. Gates can also be used to transport units between them.

The first units of the orks arrive on roks, and the next thing you must do is build a tellyporta platform so you can teleport in more orks. Limited basebuilding after that, mostly fortifications.

Imperial Guard functions the closest to the gameplay of the original DoW, with buildings like barracks and tank depots, but even then most units are not actually produced in these facilities but are flown in off-site in Valkyries.

Chaos uses warp fuckery to summon units anywhere, functionally the same as the drop pods of the space marines.

>>324194379
>I am mad because a game uses some abstractions at times for sake of balance.

There's a reason your resource was called requisition. There's a reason that all of your buildings were orbital drops. The place where they 'build tanks' is a fucking landing pad idiot.

And yes, space marines BUILD STRUCTURES AND FORTIFICATIONS ALL THE DAMN TIME, that is *literally* what the iron warriors and imperial fists did in the great crusade you fucknugget.

That's because /v/ is full of retards who think spamming hundreds of space marines makes for an accurate or even fun WH40k game

>>324194650

Way to miss the point. When SM chapters go on a campaign they don't just suddenly go and setup bases to mass produce vehicles and SMs there. Either they already had an established base of operations there, or they bring a fleet which basically works like a mobile space-based headquarters. SMs don't just make barracks and pump out reinforcements as they see fit, neither do they mass predators and land raiders at the enemy

Same goes for the IG, unless you're on a planet with like fucking factories or something you're not going to see them pump out tanks like it's nothing

Base building in WH40k is literally non-existent and retarded. At most, maps should have pre-built bases or they should allow you to build up defenses. Nothing more because it makes no fucking sense and it fucks with the gameplay when you're able to continuously spam squads of SMs as if they were disposable fodder

Marines errant were founded specifically to deal with pirates in the region (this was because of a request by no less than two rogue trader dynasties to the highlords of terra). They also had a manufactorum in their fortress monastery and their fortress monastery was noted for its anti-air defenses.

How would that affect balance in a negative way? If anything, having most factions not build bases levels out the playing field, and those that do build them rely on the buildings staying intact to keep their flow of reinforcements.

This has been said before and I still agree. It isn't exactly reasonable for shit like a Baneblade to be produced on the planet unless its been stationed on the planet already (which defeats the purpose of a facility) or if the place in question is a forge world.

Maps should be changed to this as well so it isn't some enclosed arena, but something like invisible walls. This can also be another way reinforcements arrive to aid in the escalating conflict if there needs to be more reasonable ways for IG, SM, Orks, Ad Mech, etc. bring in more troops from supply lines or off-map forward bases.

Khorne takes the Conan approach to killing. As long as you do it with your own two hands, it doesn't matter how you kill someone. Magic users are in direct opposition to this idea, because the powers they wield are not truly their own.

Proof? Since CoH2 was made when THQ funded Relic. Not SEGA. If anything, it'll be DoW1/2 with more DLC.

Base building was complete shit in DoW1 anyway so good riddance. Unless they completely revamp how it works then there's no point to it other than aesthetics

Admittedly using the Eldar webways for fucking with your enemies was fun, but it was literally the only building with an actual functionality that wasn't "SPAM MORE TROOPS"

Literally all Relic needs to do is increase the squad sizes for certain factions and bring back some of the CoH1 mechanics and the DoW1 maps, because all DoW2 are fucking garbage and all you do in them is run along an alley until you reach your objective

>Garviel Loken and Iacton Qruze were sent to Caliban to ascertain the loyalty of the Dark Angels garrison there. Loken was captured by Luther who interrogated him for information, and determined that Luther might be tainted but that he did not know of the Heresy and not to mention anything lest it be what tips Luther over the edge into betrayal. Freed by a Watcher in the Dark Loken reunited with Qruze, who was forced to shoot a Dark Angel so they could escape. They were then led to freedom by a mysterious Dark Angel who knew of the Heresy, Cypher[6].

Are you mental anon.

Giving SM and Chaos essentially just free reign to just drop anywhere, making Eldar just fucking spawn wherever a gate is, same with Orks, and yet making IG, the most defensive oriented guys around be delayed by base building, do you really fucking think you could even try and balance this.

Think for 7 seconds. If people could barely balance shit when everything was ona leveled playing field, with the same mechanics for everyone, how the fuck would they balance it around all of this shit.

You trust game devs today to not completely fuck this up too? Look, you can be as batshit insane as you wish to, but be realistic, there would be no way to incorporate this right. Plus, why try and revolutionize what isn't broken, when what ain't broke fuckign works great..

>>324196691

I don't know why people keep using this meme

SS multiplayer became functional after how many patches again? Not only did it have completely retarded balance thanks to aerial vehicles, it also had the utterly bullshit broken SoBs. Yet for some reason people still think they were better balanced in multiplayer than the DC eldar

Not to mention the terrible VA, the piss poor optimization and the god awful campaign

Well, SM did this on their games, troops landed from drop pods on their barracks instead of being trained there, same with eldar, troops were summoned, not trained, and necrons were revived so we assume the battle takes place on a tomb world (which is true, in DC, Kronus is a TW).

>>324196713
>I am silly.jpg

It's fucking retarded. The simple way this can be fixed is, you build landing sites + defences and "recruiting" involves calling down reinforces. You protect the LANDING SITE, and if that's destroyed, you lose as the fleets above won't land without a proper landing site.

That's what people are complaining about, everything else is fine bar SM (regardless of the way they arrived, the entire thing wasn't need).

>>324196713
You're an idiot. I never said that factions should deploy all their units at once, but have something more reasonable than literally building barracks right on spot to mass produce units. Having some form of beacon or whatever that lets you call in reinforcements in a similar fashion to how buildings produce units is not only more accurate fluff-wise but also better mechanically simply because base building in the first game was fucking awful

So say the IG can have units to build makeshift trenches and deploy guns as defenses and then have vehicles and squads deployed onto the battlefield, rather than having dozens of buildings just blocking movement and fucking up the pathfinding

I was mocking the argument. I pointed out earlier that all of the space marine stuff was orbital drops that essentially function as the pieces of deployable terrain you get in tabletop.

What you are talking about was *exactly* what the base building was in the first game retard.

The 'barracks' was dropped from orbit for most of the races, bolted to the ground so it was secure and then used as a place for squads to be 'requisitioned' (either via drop pod, teleport homer or whatever the fuck for each respective race).

You are being a retard.

>>324197216
Khorne is kind of neutral on the whole affair. He likes the work, but not the methods.
well, as neutral as Khorne can possibly be

really though, if a psyker doesn't use his power for combat and goes out and kills for Khorne, he's a cool guy in Khorne's book, even if he uses his power otherwise (although ideally, said psyker would have no other time for that shit, because he should be killing for Khorne every waking hour)

>>324196932
The barracks is redundant, though. If troops can be dropped in from orbit in drop pods, why would you limit yourself to dropping the pods to a static building somewhere instead of dropping troops straight to where they are needed?

>>324197126

>>324197490

>identical to Dark Crusade

Except for the fact where they fucked up the concept of how it worked by making you sit through 30 attacks per turn. Where in DC normally the campaign took you around 5-6 hours, this time tripled in SS because you had to defend a bunch of territories every single fucking turn.

The SS stronghold missions are shit, the campaign is super tedious and the balance was broken for the longest time. Anyone who says aerial vehicles were not a mistake is either lying or never actually played the game at launch. The single biggest complaint about SS is air units and yet you dumbos are defending it

>>324197337
if they released 3 expansions, with SM, chaos, IG, eldar, tau, necrons, orks and tyranids, in the 4+2+2 model, then the third expansion could introduce subfactions like chapters, that are variations on the factions. The problem that dawn of war games face is that there's just so much stuff you can put in the game that you always will have to pick and choose, you can never have a perfect warhammer RTS.

>>324197153

Besides the most important part of this is how mechanically it's better to not have retarded useless buildings as opposed to other ways of calling reinforcements. You're bitching because you can no longer make non-functional "bases" with buildings that are only there because Relic couldn't come up with a better way to let you deploy reinforcements at the time and that only clog up the maps and make a clusterfuck of unit movement

Drop pods are sent in at ballistic speeds and have various means of attempting to avoid dedicated anti-air weaponry. They're meant to be front line deployment methods, that's why some of them don't carry marines but carry a weapon system. The exact name of that variant eludes me at the moment.

>Johnson not on the very bottom

>>324198635

Except fucking not. Campaign in SS was so irredeemably broken that you would most likely lose the territory to enemy forces because of the new retarded way in which the enemy commander could move around to any territory they wanted instead of being at the last territory they captured like in DC

Meaning they also could carry their huge ass army and forward base with them and fucking crush any hopes of you holding the territory without going into skirmish

>>324197759
Yeah, it is definitely a problem trying to add everything from the table top game into an RTS. I've noticed in mods they have so much shit added but the balance is out of whack most of the time. There's so much I want but I can understand why options were kept out to keep things simple enough for a game.

I do like how some mods compromise this by doing things like having variants be possible by having it as an upgrade option. Like Choosing a Space Marine's chapter tactics as an HQ upgrade buffing the entire army, or changing the weapons on a Leman Russ tank (changing the vehicle entirely) by having the main weapon be an upgrade.

>>324198307
