Daily reminder that DoW2 looked like poop on first screenshots too, except it was BLOOM EVERYWHERE
Look at the knights, their textures are really nice compared to the rest which are just basic colours, all units stand in the same animation while shooting etc, its obviously unfinished.

Also, I need this fucking trailer in 1080p without shitty youtube compression. Its wallpaper material.

While I'm not exactly crazy about the new style, I'll wait before judging it. Who knows, it might look better later. Some have said its just unfinished. I'm not savy enough to see that but I hope you're right.

What bothers me is the possibility of only 3 factions in the base game. Both 1 and 2 had four and I've gotten used to that by now. Hopefully Chaos is either in the game and will be shown later or will be the race they add in the first expansion, since a new race always gets added then.

Above them, to a certain exent. In the Helseach novel, Grimaldus, leader of the Black Templars in the city, has to ask, ASK, admittedly in the gruff way of Space Marines, a Legion Princeps to join in the defence of Helsreach against the Orks. He cant outright command them. Neither can any but the most high ranked of IG generals either, I imagine

And both Muhreens and IG usually treat their techpriests with a modicum of respect.

Do you mean tabletop or in fluff?

In tabletop, they're Top 5 if they run War Convocation.

In fluff, they have less numbers than IG, but more than SoB and Space Marines.

It's difficult to explain. They're more like IG if IG was willing to remove the bodies of the troops and stick them on artificial ones.

Plus this. Most people hate Iron Hands and Raven Guard. Unless you're Ultramarines (loved due to respect) Blood Angels (loved due to being humble, sexy and respected) White Scars (brash but loved due to riding skills) or Imperial Fists (loved due to stubbornness to give into defeat). You're fucked.

Blood Angels are universally loved, even in the tabletop rules ally matrix. Shame that doesn't translate into them being good on tabletop.

really good, still buggy but getting patches, Eldar are the latest navy, and are overpowered in a couple respects but it's being overblown by scrub players.

Salamanders are distrusted due to their skin and red eyes. Too recognisable as genetic deviation.

Raven Guard aren't just disliked by the White Scars, despite Shryke trying to fix it up on Prefectia. They others don't trust RG because RG often fade away during a fight to go backstab other people which is considered being a coward by some, whilst Inquisitors and IG don't like them because they spend obscene amounts of time and effort fooling the enemy. They say they'll attack X when they actually attack Y. They say they'll support an offensive on the West flank, when they actually hit the East. It fucks people off who plan shit and RG fuck it all up.

WHERE ARE MY BANEBLADES
>>
>>336362580
They play differently.

DoW 1 is a base building RTS with a base game + expansion (Winter Assault) and two standalone expansions (Dark Crusade, Soulstorm) where you need CD keys of the previous games to play as the races from the previous ones online. Definitely play these.

DoW 2 is sort of but not really real-time tactics with a base game + expansion and a standalone game. Not everyone's taste, but I'd say the campaign in all three are worth one playthrough at worst. It also features a co-op campaign and a three-player co-op survival game mode that's pretty good.

That pisses me off so much, mainly cause it doesn't look like Custodes armour, even repainted red.

But it's at least theorically possible. The Companions don't wear their armour (as they're essentially based on the 300 Spartans in Thermopoli) so it's possible they're in their armoury for when attacks hit Imperial Palace (which they have done post Heresy)

No one is mad about going back to DoW1 roots. Everybody loves the scale, basebuilding and less "hero" based gameplay they promise.

However the art direction is nothing like the trailer and nothing like DoW1.

The art direction is apparently: make it look like a mobile game with a hint of blizz cum on top.

>"As the number of dedicated, professional Eldar troops -- the Aspect Warriors -- in a Craftworld are simply too few to meet all threats, those Eldar dedicated to a civilian path serve as Guardians in battle, forming the bulk of the Eldar armies."
>"Guardians are also called upon to pilot and crew the majority of the Eldar’s many war machines,"

Well familia, I dont know how I managed to miss/forget that. I guess I'll change my complaint to this instead:

I'm fucking tired of the Guardians and I'm glad they've been changed in favour of the Avengers.

Who is the art style trying to appeal to? I'm not big 40k nerd or anything, and normally I like this style, but it doesn't worth for and RTS. I thought Planetary Annihilation looked awful because of it. It isn't all bad, but any larger units and the environments look a bit shitty. It looks cheap, like an indie or kickstarted game.

Anyone else disapointed that the trailer just shows the same old Orks, Marines (B. Ravens) and Eldar staples?

I mean W40k is so much more than this, yet this feels more like Dawn of War II 2.0 than an actual DoW III.

Shows us the other factions! Give us new chapters and enemies!

Astra militarum used to be imperial guard, and Adeptus Astartes is a coverall description for space marines, adeptus astartes are all space marines through and through, but the different sub factions (Space Marines - who's also have sub factions of their own, Dark Angels, Grey Knights, Blood Angels and Space Wolves) all play with different rulebooks. They're all on the same side, but they can fight among themselves (Grey Knights and Space Wolves hating each other is a good one)

>Dem raining bodies.

Dem fucking everything brother. I love it when big things are shown fucking big, and this trailer delivered fully in that. There were also some sexy ass shots and music/voice acting were top notch. Sure, it's no dawn of war intro but it does things differently on a very high level.
>>
>>336365442

It's so fucking annoying though. Necrons and Tao are equally, if not more interesting and exciting than space wizards and fungal monkies.
>>
>>336365532

More like chaos undecided. No joke thats the actual reason why undivided was ripped from the tabletop game.
>>
>>336365236

Some copyright bullshit about the words "Imperial Guard". Dont ask me for details but basically, Astra Militarum is the IGs official designation now and Imperial Guard is what they're called in Low Gothic.

>Space Wolves or whatever, can't remember what's in them specifically. What's with that?

That was probably bug or something. AM/IG is strictly normal humans and their abhuman special troopsm Space Wolves are Adeptus Astartes/Muhreens.
>>
>>336362147

They are Space Gypsies. Not that strange given that they come from the Thousand Sons

I never liked the bloom, but the textures have depth, they feel more alive than the Blizzard art style. I don't have a name for this style other than blizzard ues it for their cartoony games.

infact when they didn't want so cartoony of a game they used better art styles. Look at overwatch. It has the similar themes, but its not flat and soulless

I have a feeling it will be, or at least a cross between an RTS and MOBA. I hope I'm wrong but I can definitely see the game having buildings that just mass produce units that you dont control that run at the enemy's base... while you control the "elite" unit squads. It wont be a full RTS or MOBA it'll be some unholy love child. That's why I'm hesistent to give into the W40k hype even after all these years

sounds like a hero moba like game to me. You start off with using "creeps" and having really weak heroes. Then you progress to uber hero levels and creeps no longer matter.

However it could be im just bitter because of the god awful art direction of DoW 3. That sweet 10/10 trailer those 1/10 screens....

Warhammer has always been a traditionally brutal, grimdark setting, and by giving it a "warcraft/dota" vibe (for lack of a better comparison), it betrays entirely the atmosphere of the WH40k setting.

Warcraft 3's graphics suit the setting because warcraft has always been a more PG adventure universe, contrary to WH40k which embraces the brutality of war as its core theme.

what really bugged me is that they portrayed WH40K almost PERFECTLY in the trailer and i wish they had gone with that gritty realism over whats shown in the screenshots so far.

TL:DR
artstyle doesnt fit universe
fuck relic and sega if the game stays that way

I really don't want to be that guy, but the screens from the DoW2 announcement look better than these.
Not just 'comparative to the year it was released' better, I mean straight up looks shit when compared to DoW2, and thats assuming that they are alpha screens and not 100% mocked up bullshots for advertising the game (Which they most likely are considering this is what PC gamer will be publishing)

That amount of space marine death COMPARED to not a single ork dying is a pretty big fucking thematical/toneal error when showing off the different factions. One of the few things DoW2 got right was the spacemarines having smaller elite units, compared to 1s, 'throw hundreds of centuries old, super elite warriors into a meat grinder', this trailer along with unit sizes in the screens point towards this being the case in 3.

Also there's nothing wrong with that Beksińskis style itself, it's just stupid and out of place when used with eldar

>space marines getting killed enmasse again even though it's meant to barely happen in fluff

The trailer is pretty inspired though. Very good. But Space marines being the replacement for guardsmen when someone needs to be cut up or butchered just seems kinda weak.

In Inquisitor these fuckers can bench press a leman russ, run at 75mph and punch harder than their bolt guns can fire.

Not sure I like the cartoony style that every game seems to be going for these days. But graphics aren't everything I guess...

The end of the trailer, those are all corpses of the three different races. Same fuckhuge numbers.
The only thing to which I agree is that it is stupid that SMs from one chapter die in this number but the whole thing was artistically overblown by purpose.

>Also there's nothing wrong with that Beksińskis style itself, it's just stupid and out of place when used with eldar

From what I've understood Boreale lost 500 on Kaurava II. I heard some say that it was alter scaled back to 300 but I havent seen a source.

Tarkus describes the the Chapter as "dangerously undermanned" at the beginning of DoW 2.

If I were to guess, factoring in the events of DoW 2, Chaos Rising, Retribution and the purges that Angelos mentions in Retributions Blood Ravens ending... Half strength, at the absolute most, probably less. And that includes any scouts.

But hey, Chapters have come back from worse. They also have not recovered and then been annihilated. Not that thats gonna happen, this is Relics chapter and Relics game, after all.

You're talking about incidents that occur over 10 thousand year periods. Not to mention that Space Marine chapters that don't have the means to replace their scouts with geneseed anymore are pretty fucking rare and keep going even when they should really be fucking resigned.

>to barely happen in fluff

That's bullshit. Entire chapters disappear in space hulks, bio ships and naval engagements. Every faction has their marine equivalent.

>space hulks
The worst space hulk tragedy ever was when the blood angels lost their entire first chapter. That's it. That's a thousand men.

At first i thought its shopped but no. Its the real shit. My eyes are bleeding along with my heart.
>>
>>336371886
How does total war do it then, with thousands of units with proper textures and lighting?

You are a cancer.

That's not even the only time it happened to the BA. They lost their entire chapter in a campaign against the BL.

I don't think anyone was expecting Tau to be in the base game so nice b8.

>In Inquisitor these fuckers can bench press a leman russ, run at 75mph and punch harder than their bolt guns can fire.

They can do none of those things. Marine fans are the biggest faggots in this fanbase.

Please.

Dude, in the friendly rainbowness of the far future there is only happiness

You might want to go read the BL supplement then. Making more marines is as easy as slamming thousands of teenage boys into the sarchophagi.

Tabletop rules aren't meant to be fluff equatable. Inquisitor is.

Show me where the entire chapter is killed. I'll wait.

Never played Dawn of War.
Should i buy Dark Crusade or Soulstorm?
Or is one of the DoW 2 games better?
Is this one going to be closer to 1 or 2?
>>
>>336372125
It's probably the truth, the reason why DoW2 was so small-scale is because of the increased poly texture and lighting quality. They used the excuse of "UHH.. WE WANTED SMALLER ARMIES SO SPACE MARINES FELT MORE CANON. YEAH."

but then when you see ork armies consisting of 1 warboss and 1 squad of boyz, you begin to question their design.

>a small scale DoW
>the game which has nids
>hilariously bad in multiplayer, small packs~
>epic in singleplayer, the only redeeming factor.

It's less manic. Hard to explain, but total war's battles are surprisingly simple, they LOOK busy, but it's really not. When you zoom out, the troops take on incredibly low poly forms, they're just masters at LODs.

The lighting? No idea. Perhaps a better engine.
