>>52946064
It proves Gorgutz was the one who massacred Boreale, which was my headcannon. His BALD and FEWLISH head deserved to land on the pointy stick.
Also using deep strikes to defend against endless green horde sounds like a retarded plan. It's just throwing marines away to be eaten by the orks.
>>
>>52946118
It makes sense if you're using deepstrikes to wipe out nobz and other faction leaders within the WAAGH.
>>
>>52946118
>using deep strikes to defend

Wasn't that Dark Crusade?

Or, if not, what was the DC space marine base assault?
>>
>>52946699
That was Soulstorm. In general, the vast majority of the stupidest and idiotic character actions and voice acting are from Soulstorm.
>>
>>52946699
The DC space marine base assault was orbital bombardment and First Company boyz.

What the fuck is with the campaign? No one sounds or looks like themselves. Hell, Diomedes doesn't even FEEL like Diomedes, and Jonah looks younger for some fucking reason. And don't get me started on the obvious villain inquisitor.

I played DoW III and all I can say that the story is shit.
Apart from primarch sized terminator jumping terminator, Gabriel Angelos is uniting himself with Gorgutz in the end. Not to mention all other shitting on their own lore.
ButI liked few missions, the one where you have to rescue chaplain, it reminded me off DoW II style singleplayer.

How will they ever recover?

Honestly, Stubbs was such a retard. He lost 100 baneblades, and when he was losing, he ran away like a pussy. He probably got executed like bitch by a commissae as he ran into the vulture.

Gorgutz, proper, won.

From what I can tell, it doesn't say that Gorgutz WON Soulstorm. At the very least, he's the one who destroyed the SM stronghold (makes sense, he's right next to it) and that he obviously survived the campaign. It doesn't mean he won outright.

That's still a thing?
>>
>>52953457
Alternatively, it makes perfect sense, because it's isolated away from all the other factions, and if you can wipe out the Chaos forces right away, you don't have to worry about them corrupting and infiltrating the other factions you're enslaving.
>>
>>52953522
Maybe? I dunno. I hope the French VA are as on point as they were before. They were better than the English ones (had more people) in the previous games, and apparently the english VA aren't as good i thsi game.
>>
>>52953439
Just. Because. They. Were. There.
>>
I don't care. In my Kaurava the 252nd conservator regiment banner still flies high!
>>
>>52953540

I'm going to chalk it up to the writers not thinking things through. Like for instance, the in-universe reason you use the webways to travel between planets is because the warp storm is making normal space travel to and between the planets impossible. Now that's fine for both Eldar as they normally use webways, the Necrons were there already, and Chaos are aided in the warp. But everyone else flew there normally. HOW? THE WARP STORM SAYS THEY CAN'T.
>>
>>52952510
I know, the voice acting on the SM and Orky sides is heresy of the highest decree. Hell, they even removed the hilariously overblown way of talking Diomedes had.

For the orks, war is the win condition, thus they cannot lose

Yeah, but Gorgutz's lines are... odd, they feel like they're missing something and i can't for the life of myself find what.
>>
>>52954083
Gotta agree with you in the dialogue bit though, Gorgutz is as kunnin as he is brutal.

And then the way they move it to their base.

But more than that, the fact that both the Eldar and Smarines are Grim. Dramatic. Gravitas. All. The. Time. So the Orks are the only ones who actually cut across that in any way.

God I hate the writing in this game. DoW 2 was so much better.
>>
>>52954672
Oh, see they are the mysterious enemies in the game. And I was afraid that it would just be daemons.

>>52954672
Honestly I'd be down for them to push off IG and Chaos for an expansion and have the first one for DoW3 be Necrons vs Tau.

They're newcrons I guess?

I know that is likely the case but it is disheartening to believe because almost every time they do that, Tau/Dark Eldar end up getting shafted and not included.

Nope, they were the owners of the world. They are pissed that it was blown up and their daemon prisoner escaped.

>>52955035
It's actually easy to understand how/why. It's the faction where you can have proper fun, where for it to be good, it has to be fun.
The others can quickly turn into writing solemn warrior/smug wizard #8417. They require a lot more actual effort to pull off WELL, although they are the easiest to write at all. As I said, you can make them fairly easy, but writing them well requires effort and talent. There'sa reason Tarkus is so appreciated. He's a simple concept, the typical space marine. But he's done well, and that's a lot harder to do.
>>
>>52954892

There's something very comical about necrons just freezing a demon, i mean, they could just seal him in a tiny cube or something, but they decided to put him on a ball of ice instead.

Yeah I agree. Orion's design here is fine, pretty different, but fairly cool. And black guy with glowing eyes is archetypal, like pale elves with black sclera.

its too bad the whole campaign was mediocre as fuck. The rest of the game is as well, feels like a 7/10 beta, like dow 2's release desu, except without dow 2's great campaign. Maybe expansions and shit will iron out the metric ton of issues it has, but I'm not really holding my breath with how relic's treated a lot of its games in the past.

>Honestly, Stubbs was such a retard. He lost 100 baneblades, and when he was losing, he ran away like a pussy. He probably got executed like bitch by a commissae as he ran into the vulture.

This. I simply can't understand his popularity. Stubbs' character starts as a generic 'human space army commander', and then the details they add are that he's shit at logistics and is a coward. The guy in Dark Crusade was crap too.

Sturn and Castor are miles above these plebs. Sturnfags and Castorfags are the only respectable IGfags in the DoW fanbase.

The thing that got me is that he thought sending Rhinos full of Baneblade parts right past the front of the enemy base was a good supply line.

It doesn't make sense even if he didn't know the enemy base was there, because it's still going the long way around.

no one really knows, him and thaddeus just kinda went away. Only thing he's mentioned in is a piece of wargear.

They probably just left him out of retribution because of budget reasons, same with thaddeus.

>>52956574

Yep. Sturnn is the finest. My head canon is that he was assigned to a penal legion after Winter Assault so he's still out there being grizzled and badass in service to the Imperium.

>>52956998
People like Stubbs because if he won the Karuva campaign, he did so after taking over a severely depleted Guard while under siege from the Sisters, Marines, Eldar, Necrons, Orkz, Tau, Dark Eldar, and Chaos. The normal Guard strategy is to throw men at the problem, but we're explicitly told most of the men are already dead.

The Baneblades thing is just funny, because 100 Baneblades appearing at all in the context of the game mechanics is insanity. Pluasible with a mod, but otherwise so overkill that if he'd kept the stupid things, he'd never lose. Not so crazy in context of the universe - but players don't get hands on with the universe, they understand that statement in relation to the game. It's like if the Eldar said, "We don't have the Avatar of Khaine right now, we already summoned him to a hundred other territories!"

If Stubbs didn't win, then he's just the guy who finished losing the battle of Kauruva.
>>
>>52957570
>a severely depleted Guard while under siege from the Sisters, Marines, Eldar, Necrons, Orkz, Tau, Dark Eldar, and Chaos.

Well that probably helped him more than anything since they were all fighting each other. As soon as the IG secure their starting world they become pretty much unstoppable. Cut-price Forward Bases is hardcore.
>>
>>52957570
This. Stubbs is literally the most heroic faction. The majority of the guard was killed or converted to chaos and he literally takes command into this situation.

And I like Gorgutz far more; Because the mother fucker is everything an Ork should be. He is a loud, brutish, stompy bully thats brutally kunnin. At the beginning of the game, he is almost a joke. Afterall, he cannonically lost in Dark Crusade. Not to mention nobody sees this silly, cockney rugby-fan as a actual threat. Orkz are never a major threat.

But through out the singleplayer game, Goregutz smashes all expectations. From nothing but a rugged, splintered, and defeated force of practically savage Orkz, he forges a mighty WAAAAGH! He brings down the high and mighty Space Marines, Knocks the Eldar off their high horse, and puts the Cron' back underground. He stomps those Tau flat, steals their dakka, and blows the Spikey boys to oblivion.


After thousands upon thousands of years of waiting, and despite the schemes and strategies of intellectually superior and better prepared enemies, all of their best efforts are ruined by one green barbarian hell bent on havin' a roight good time. Neither technological superiority or divine intervention can stay the WAAAAAGH!

Wat. HFY is always about how humans are inherently superior to aliens. The IG are very clearly not superior to any aliens, with the possible exception of the Tau if you ignore their tech, but even then, it's not like humans have super strength compared to Tau.

Marines are HFY, since they're inherently superior to any soldiers aliens can produce, even aliens that are more advanced like the Eldar or Crons.

If anything, the Guard are the opposite of HFY since in the fluff it's generally shown you need about five guardsmen to take out your average Ork hand-to-hand. Guard are 'humans surviving in a hellscape through courage and willingness to sacrifice because they have nothing else' not the 'hurrr HUMAN R SUPERIOR' shit you get in HFY.
>>
>>52955140
It's entirely in character though. Some wacky Phaeron decided he wanted to test his new Freeze-O-Matic 5000 and big bubba bloodthirster there was the first thing handy. For everybody else it's ANCIENT EVIL AWAKENS but for the 'crons it's just "oh hey that's where I put that."

>Wat. HFY is always about how humans are inherently superior to aliens.
No, it's about how humans always rise up and overcome, even against foes that should by all logic be superior. In HFY, humanity's lack of special superpowers is taken as a virtue, because they're "BADASS NORMALS" who still "GET SHIT DONE." Marines, by contrast, are no longer purely human, and are special, which means they don't have the all-important everyman appeal that HFW fags put on a pedestal.

I will absolutely grant that the fluff points them as frequently cowardly and typically useless piles of dregs so inept they need a dedicated unit to shoot their own men, but this is rarely how you see IG players interpret their armies.
>>
>>52962037

You know, it's kinda weird that Guard are used as the poster child for HFY when the SOB are just as human and a lot more potent people.

M8, Space Marines are not superior to Eldar.
For fuck's sake, the most basic bitch Guardians are on par with Space Marines in terms of skills with blades and guns, and that is not even taking into account the Aspect Warriors, many of whom are far superior to marines in their given field of war.

>>52957256

>>
>>52962573
Marines literally will own Eldar in a fight. The best Marines at a job will always beat the best Eldar at a job. Close combat Aspect Warriors? Just put them up against Terminators with Storm Shields and Thunder Hammers. Guardians? Tactical Squad will wipe them out. Not to mention that even Eldar who can be over a thousand years old will still, at best, have equal skill to a marine, even if they are literal war priests who've been absorbed by their War Aspect until they no longer have much of a separate persona from their War Form.

Also you realize every Guardian could have centuries of experience, right? I'd say taking centuries to get to the same level of skill marines do in a few years is pretty clear evidence who's the superior species.
>>
>>52962115
SOBs received a hell of a lot more training and is backed by one of the most powerful and wealthy factions in the Imperium. Even storm troopers don't get power armor or bolters by default.
>>
>>52962810
M8, Exarchs are far more skilled than marines are. You need special character marines to compare to Exarchs. Your run of the mill Marine is no compare to an Exarch or even really an aspect warrior of the given field of war.
Comparing Terminators to the basic melee aspect warriors is hardly a fair comparison, given that no aspect warrior really fills the role that terminators fill. However, if you compare howling banshees to assault marines, the Banshees win easily.

If you compare Wraithblades to Terminators, it might be a fairer comparison, as the role of termies is filled by wraith units in the Eldar army.

Also, Eldar are innately capable of superhuman feats as they are superhuman beings.
A freshly vatborn dark Eldar is more dangerous unarmed than a human.

You need massive surgery and augmentation to lift humans to the level of Eldar, as they are in Space Marines, while Eldar innately exist at that level of combat prowess. Do not forget that the Eldar are genetically engineered warrior race, just like the orks are. Both were made to fight against the necrons. Eldar are superhuman creatures and you need the absolute best of the best of humanity, augmented and heavily modified, to stand on par with the Eldar or exceed them on some fields.

It's really not. Go find any description of the HFY trope, HFY is all about 'hurr humans breathe rocket fuel n shit'.

It might have a 'ayys underestimated us and now they're fucked' element to it, but the core of HFY is that human beings are individually badass, or that we're some warrior-species compared to other aliens. Guard doesn't have that at all, individually, they get their shit handed to them by the billions every day, they're hardly poster boys for human superiority.

I can under getting bored of guard players harping on about 'muh everyman heroism' and 'mere humans defying gawds!' but that doesn't make them HFY: The Faction.

To give examples from other IP, the human in John Carter of Mars is HFY, the humans in Starship Troopers are not, despite both eventually being victorious.

Spehs Muhreen > Eldar > Human

Eldar are a bit stronger than regular humans and faster than Astartes but Astartes are significantly stronger and much more resilient than Eldar in the fluff. A few hundred marines utterly rekt the nobles of Commorragh, after a single strike cruiser managed to hold out against the city's forces trying to board it for weeks, that wouldn't be possible if Astartes were just roughly equal to your common or garden Eldar as you're claiming.

Campaign is okay. It's nice that you get to play as all three factions, rather than locking you into the Marines, or forcing you to pick one of the three (and the non-Marine campaigns being declared noncanon).

Skirmish is a load of heaping shit though, it just doesn't feel like a real RTS game any more. I'd suggest holding off until the price drops down to £20 or so and just running through the single player.

Marines are way superior to Eldar in fluff. They constantly surpass them in eveything. Literally everything. Artemis and Tigurius can outpredict Eldrad, Raven Guard can out stealth Rangers and Pathfinders, Terminators with Storm Shields and Thunder Hammers will mash any Aspect Warriors in combat, A single ship of space marines fought Commorragh alone for ages.

Honestly it's just the SM's that look too clean and toyish. Kind of like basecoated minis without any extra detail, but they look a little nicer up close. The Orks are actually super detailed though and really steal the show. I'd imagine Necrons would have the same amount of scratches and and dark details considering their age.

I'm pretty sure the models themselves are better than they were in DoW 2, i think the fault lies entirely in the textures. Which means that as soon as it's possible to edit textures, it will be very simple to make the marines look like they are supposed to look.

Some of the standard units are nice, like Dark Reapers, Wraithlords, Deff Dreads, Nobs and boyz and Supa Kannon/Fire Prisms. Those look pretty good.

People who bring up the space marine incident in commoragh clearly have not read the lore about it.
First off, that entire situation was engineered by Vect and caught the nobility of Commoragh off guard.
Secondly, the Nobility had no desire to just kill the marines. They wanted to fucking capture them for their slave arenas. If they wanted to just destroy them, the whole mess would have been a lot quicker.
Thirdly, the efforts of the Nobility were covertly sabotaged by Vect so that he could rise into the supreme overlord of Commoragh.
Fourthly, the only reason the marines escaped from Commoragh was because once they had served their purpose, as in, fuck over the nobility, Vect had no further use for them and basically let them go.

That incident is in no way indication of marines being anything other than blunt tools Vect, the magnificent bastard, used for his own gains.
>>
>>52966124
Keep telling yourself that. One Battle Barge lasting that long clearly shows how crappy all of Commorragh is. If one Dark Eldar Ship rocked up near a Space Marine Chapter Fortress from the main chapters then it doesn't matter how sabotaged it was, they'd annihilate it.
>>
>>52966261
Except again, the Eldar did not desire to destroy the fucking ship. They have the capability to do that with ease.
They wanted it's content, the fucking marines, as captives for their slave pits.
That was their motivation to fucking board the ship.

They wanted the Marines Alive, so that they could torture them and force them to fight in the gladitorial pits, because an enslaved marine is a fine price for the Dark Eldar.

Yeah, they are more skilled than Marines, but Emps's super soldiers have better armor that mitigate this. Not to mention that Eldar are S3 and T3 while your average Marine is S4 and T4.

Eldar Guardians may be more skilled than Marines, but the latter makes it up with staying power.

I bet that he's somewhere in the warp, polishing his Custodes Armor and having Worldbreaker while he's bashing Chaos Marines.

Worldbreaker is so powerful it remakes the surface of a world it's used on.

If levelled enough, it decrease by 25% the cost of abilities until the end of the mission.
Meaning using it 4 times will make the abilities of your squads cost nothing, only abilities that drain energy over time will still consume energy.

>the Nobility had no desire to just kill the marines
The nobility had no desire to just kill the marines in the captive strike cruiser (because they wanted to obtain and torture the space marine captain trapped inside), but they were definitely trying to kill the invading crusade fleet.

Them seriously trying to deal with the threat was WHY vect could do all that shit behind their backs.

This is what it looks like when you're playing with or against Orks.
Those guitar solos kill it, especially in a normal game where both sides set up their bases around the middle and suddenly you start hearing it from a distance. Overall makes for a great carnage.

Ok guys, so I am really on the fence about DoW 3.
I think I could have fun with it, even though I'm not a MOBA guy, and I really want to see the story. I've looked at varying opinions about what is good and what isn't, and what I take away is that while it is a bit disappointing, it is by no means a bad game.

I guess my question is, is it worth it?
>>
>>52968071
not really right now. In a year maybe, kinda like with coh 2 and dow 2's launch situations. This one is just a 60$ beta.
>>
>>52968071
If you have any reason to play while it's new, yes.
If you don't then why are you even considering buying a new game in the first place?

It looks good, it's fun to play, it has a lengthy campaign and it has a map editor.
It's in the same situation Dawn of War 1 was in. It's a good 40k game. If you want a new game (plus if it's 40k related) to play, it's definitely a top pick. If you just want to play Necrons, then you can just wait until the next teased expansion just as people slowly waited back then for Dark Crusade.

>>
>>52951123
I'm just glad we know who actually won the Soulstorm campaign as the canon victor. I'm playing the game again as Orks.

So we have;

Dawn of War 1-Blood Ravens, obviously.
Winter Assault-Taldeer's Eldar
Dark Crusade-Blood Raven
Soulstorm-Gorgutz Orks

Dawn of War 2-Blood Ravens
Chaos Rising-Blood Ravens with Avitus as traitor
Retribution-Blood Ravens with Gabriel becoming Chapter Master after killing Kyras.
>>
>>52969393
Retribution is actually Blood Ravens plus Eldar victory, given that Taldeer's soulstone was recovered.
>>
>>52969447
It's mainly Blood Ravens but that is a fair point.

Soulstorm was always a problem for me but we have that solved.

Only Winter Assault still annoys me. Even though it seems to be Eldar due to the Governor Alexander in Dark Crusade there is the Shield of Sturnn armour which states "The Shield of Sturnn is a suit of armour that belonged to General Sturnn of the 412th Cadian, who heroically led his Regiment to recover the fallen Imperator Titan Dominatus on the planet Lorn V. but the FFG Only War states Sturnn was cut down upon reaching the Titan by the Eldar.

So much contradictory information on Winter Assault is annoying.
>>
>>52969597
Whenever we Chaos it'll probably clarify whether or not it had some elements of their victory as well - given that all it'd take is for Eliphas to appear as a Demon Prince.
>>
>>52971389
Chaos lost Winter Assault with Crull being killed.

Eliphas appears in the first mission of Retribution's Blood Ravens campaign and dies. I doubt they would kill him off like that though.

I want to know what happened to Thule, Martellus, Cyrus, Tarkus, etc but there is a comic that might answer that (if they die, I'll rage).

How the fuck do you even play Soulstorm? Its absolutely boring, what incentive do i have to do anything apart from rush the enemy hq with my honor guard? The buildings and points don't get saved like in Dark Crusade, im a newb i admit but i just don't get it. It could be a pain to fortify in DC, capturing points and getting them up to level 2 outposts, but it was worth it. In Soulstorm its just annoying, i don't feel like i need to build anything apart from a barracks and rush. Am i missing something?
>>
>>52963486
>>52962090

Both of you shitlords are defining it too narrowly. HFY is just about Humanity triumphing. It can be the high road or the low road, it doesn't matter, they just have to be the winner.
>>
>>52972832
So, War of the Worlds is HFY?
>>
>>52972300

I thought Dark Crusade's persistent buildings was a completely dogshit feature. It just made me want to pen the AI opponent in their base and hold off on finishing them off while I built a shit ton of defensive structures. Then when an enemy attacks in future turns, they are instantly buttfucked by my turrets and by the units coming from my barracks/factories right outside their base. It made defensive battles completely trivial.

Soulstorm at least had the right idea by removing most persistent structures, but again, defensive battles are usually too easy because you can still rush the AI base with garissoned troops.

Honestly I think the campaign skirmishes were bad in both games, and that the only enjoyable maps were the two Tau strongholds. Everything else was either dull or too easy. If they'd gone with a simpler campaign map where everywhere was a tough stronghold type mission it would have played better.
>>
>>52972847
...a little bit? It's kinda shit if you try to make it HFY themed, like "HUMANS HAVE ADAPTED TO THE TINY PARASITES LIKE IT'S NOTHING, OH MY GOD FULL RETREAT". Like, we'd be just as fucked if we tried to invade an alien planet without adequate protection.
But I'm sure there have been a few terrible HFY stories that use the exact same device.
>>
>>52972847
>bacteria kill the Martians
>"hurr HFY"

KYS.
>>
>>52972937
What I like about persistent buildings was that you didn't have to fight the same maps over and over for hours.
Like oh, they're attacking the same place they've been attacking for the last eight turns? Looks like I'll just rush a jump squad with melta bombs and blow them up in five minutes.
Like, it made what could have been aggravatingly monotonous, only tedious.
>>
>>52972960
Humanity prevailed, after all.
>>
>>52972937
Given how much ridiculous bullshit the AI got for their honour guard, the permanent buildings were a necessity.

Fighting off fucking Chaos Predators with Imperial Guard from scratch was just sadistic.

I completely agree with you tho i agree with them about the persistent buildings

>>52973004
>>52973052

The only enjoyable maps in DC were the Strongholds and maps like Pavonis that give you some kind of benefit, because there was always something interesting to do, gather servitors, or use energy, as retarded as that soudns, without wargear, or the prospect of honor guard all the other maps were just single player skirmish maps. They could have made it more linear, by giving you objectives, basically every map was a tiny campaign in itself. The wargear is really cool but to me, the best DoW game will always be the first, followed by Winter Assault.

Also a gripe i have with Soulstorm is, that the Alpha legion is just a regular Chaos legion despite the Alpha Legion being so unique, the Chaos Lord is dumb as fuck, but Alpha were known to be pretty fucking smart. It would also might be cool if they did a DoW game without the fucking blood ravens, any other chapter would do.
>>
>>52973193
That is Deathwatch my dude
>>
>>52973398

>>
>>52973367
My personal theory on why the alpha legion acted like dumbfucks in DoW vanilla and Soulstorm is that they deliberately rounded up all the utter spastics in the legion and sent them out to do as much damage as possible.
Sindri was either the only one in on the plan, or got wind of it and used them to his advantage, which was why he wasn't an utter retard
>>
>>52972937
>>52972300

Personally i disliked the campaigns in Dark Crusade and Soulstorm, i liked the strongholds(obviously), but everything else to me just felt like boring filler generic skirmishes against the AI, it was just dull and boring and at some point it felt like a chore to play the campaign just to make a path to the strongholds.

I'd rather have scripted linear campaigns in all honesty and i would say in the DoW series my favorite campaigns are the ones from DoW 2 and Chaos Rising, specifically, Chaos Rising's campaign is awesome. DoW 2 suffers from a similar thing to DC and SS imo, there are a lot of missions that are just boring filler sidequests.
>>
>>52965009
>Why are you so butt-hurt about it?
Actually I don't really know. I guess I just take it too seriously when people seem to take pointless shit too seriously.
>>
>>52973530
I felt the opposite. Every time I got to a stronghold, I groaned, because nearly all of them are a long series of heavily defended points, so all you can really do is turtle up to a full strength army of your most powerful units, and then attack, taking away the significance of map control, resource management, and tech path planning. Strongholds just felt like big grinds, while every other map was just a straightforward match, except with honour guards and commander upgrades to make things more interesting.
>>
>>52954672
How did people not know that crons were going to be a faction in the game. The game's tag line is "There is a terrible darkness descending upon the galaxy, and we shall not see it ended in our lifetimes." That was attributed to the crons by Czevak
>>
>>52973893

How though? Sure, they were grind fests, but there plenty of objectives to accomplish, the AI did its job, more a less, you had character interaction, cut-scenes e.t.c. As opposed to "you have destroyed the enemy's hq".
