Someone called for a.......Earthshaker?
Anyone playing the Unification mod of DoW?
>>744636272MOAR CORPSES
>>744636815It's fun, but highly unstable. Shit seems to break often the moment some of the larger titan units come out to play. I don't mean it slows down or units bug out, I mean it crashes the game. Fuckers exterminatus the program the moment they enter sometimes.
>>744636505brother i am pinned here
>>744636881I crashed the game just trying to run more than 3 or 4 modded factions in one skirmish.
>>744636881Are you playing the classic game or the remaster? The classic has a very outdated engine, the remaster fixes that problem IIRC, so the mod can now work more properly (it now has other bugs, but they are minor)
Witness your doom
>>744636925STEADY YOURSELF BRATHA
>>744636994Last time I played it was the OG version. Admittedly DoW:DE does fix a lot of issues with the stability of some mods, but UA still has its quirks. Being everything all at once is likely why.
BLOOD RAVENS INVENTED A NEW SPORTWHICH INVOLVED PUTTING ELDAR INTO CAGESAND SEEING HOW FAR THEY COULD THROW THEMINTO TYREAPRESSED HARD BY THE AVALANCHE OF CAGES, THE ELDAR FOUGHT FRANTICALLY, THEN WERE CRUSHED UNDER TONS OF CAGES

YOU HAVE CAPTAIN DIOMEDESFARSEER, LET US DO ITAH, A WARP SPIDERDIE AGAIN GHOST MACHINEI HAVE FACED MORE FEARSOME TAAAAAAAANKSOGRYNS, AGAINST ME?!THIS VEHICLE IS... HALTED
Keith Szarabajka is actually a very good voice actor. He was Joshua Graham for fuck's sake. Why did he drop the ball with Diomedes so hard?
>>744637416I never saw any problem with it, just a couple of lines get memed beyond proportion
>>744637416What do you mean, he balled hard as Captain Diomedes:>That, noise... CANNOT DEFEAT ME
>>744636435Brotheriamhitbrotheriamhitbrotheriamhit
>>744637416Diomedes is one of my favorite DoW voices ever. Yes he is over the top, but I like to think Appollo likes theatre so he just goes for it.
>>744637416He didn’t, he just hammed it up to match the rest of the cast and went above expectations.
>>744637530It was also nowhere near the best bit of characterization in the game. The Ork pirate captain and even the Imperial Guard commander/big game hunter are more interesting. Shit, it is rather odd that of all the campaigns, the Orks got additional side characters who have speaking roles but most of the other factions didn't.
>>744637631steady yourself, brotherYOUR WEAKNESS SHOWS
>>744637730Even the Eldar are more interesting than Spees Mehreens this time around.
>>744637792An easy target… for me
>>744637837BRASH! FEEBLE! foolish...
>>744636323Maybe don't shit your pants next time and it'll just be one.
>>744637730I hope Bluddflagg comes back in TW40K
>>744637416meme combat barks aside. i like him. the entire arc of him finding out that he serves a traitor is cool
>>744637730Space marine characters are boring by default, and largely just vary on how much anguish they feel about whether or not their honor is really honorable ENOUGH
>>744638124Cpt. Thule from Dark Crusade was cool as hell, and routinely shit talked the other commanders during their stronghold missions or when they assault the SM stronghold. Sad that they had to kill him off so damn fast into Retribution, or that they turned him into a dreadnaught at all. Dude deserved better then that.
SINDRIIIIII YOU FUCKING CONNIVING NIGGER
I miss pre Primaris 40k
>>744638207In Warhammer people dont get what they deserve.
>>744638216Cope nerd, we ain't going back to manletrines or ugly eldar.
>>744635887Why did they switch the DoW1 voice actor of Eliphas to Steve Blum? I preferred the DoW1 voice. They even had the original VA in DoW2
>>744638338This is technically possible because felinids, and you can't convince me otherwise.
>>744635887MAKE THEM SUPPER
>>744638495https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azZZaGAmvcY
>>744638432There hasn't been a single abhuman Sister of Battle is probably the biggest reason why it hasn't happened.
ABONDON REASON, KNOW ONLY WAR
>>744636435THATNOISECANNOT DEFEAT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>744635887Just played it the other day.
>>744638301Instead you will get trans right 40k. I bet you're happy
ALIEN BEANS
>>744638432>Sister of Battle>tolerating a mutantEh, no.
>>744638664>mutantOut, foul tertiary.
>>744638216The last 40k game that featured trueborn Marines is likely Warhammer 40k:Space Marine. That or DoW3, but then you'd be playing DoW3. Not exactly a great choice.
NO I WILL NOT GO TO THE BASILICA OF COCK AND BALL TORTURE AGAIN
>>744638707Rogue Trader?
>>744638620What about this one?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7AC5M7F4ys
>>744638725Probably should've said "played" and not "featured" but yeah, I guess that one counts.
SHOW ME WHAT PASSES FOR FURY AMONGST YOUR MISBEGOTTEN KIND
WITNESS YOUR COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
>>744635887I always liked he was the only calm and collected Chaos Lord in DoW1.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRlYSE6kWAg
>>744639667He's a psycher from Korn however
>>744639709Nobody is perfect, anon.
>>744638209How did they get away with having him say that?
>>744639709You're confused, no he's not
>>744638209I couldn't put my finger who that fucker from Rogue Trader reminded me of.
>>744635887No, nyehehehe
>>744636323Maybe you'll stop being a faggot this time around.
How can people hate DoW II/Retribution when the voice acting is just so fucking KINO.
>>744637631Brother I will take it
>>744639948This is the 2 wieners kid, but grown up after having been given a lifetime of wiener privilege.
>>744638716I'm sorry sweetie, attendance is mandatory for jobbers
>>744639998Because it went from a standard base building RTS to whatever you would call Company of Heroes.
>>744639948Rogue Trader has a named chaos guy who you can presumably interact with? Are RTs so free that they can hang out with literal chaos legions?t. tertiary who knows nothing about the setitng
>>744636501I prefer the version with two Titan-grade gatlings
>>744640092>standard base building RTSThe fact you have to hold points to get resources always made it feel like a tactics game to me, even though I still just turtled until I was at unit cap which I do in every RTS
>>744640093You have three alignments, for lack of a better word, Dogmatic, Iconoclast, and Heretic. Uralon only shows up on the Heretic path.
>>744640163So the Inquisition doesn't rape heretic RTs? I know they trade with xenos and shit but they can just worship chaos if they want, too?
>>744640114Ah yes, the horde mulcher pattern.
>>744640192They do, but RTs are on the short list of people in the imperium that when accused of heresy can respond with "Yeah?" "Prove it."
>>744639709>Chaos Sorcerer Sindri says "Blood for the Blood God">Korn is so pleased he makes him a Daemon Prince>Crull makes huge shrines and performs complex rituals and sermons to appease Korn>Korn is so pleased he summons free Bloodthirsters for him>Librarian Chapter Master Kyras makes speeches, subverts his chapter, does a lot of underhanded shit and also cooperates with Shit Unclean One of Nurgle while not doing much of killing personally to appease Korn>Korn is so pleased he makes him a Daemon PrinceThe MARTIAL god of Chaos, everyone. Khorne is a cheap whore with no principles, as expected of one the dark gods.
What's the most fun campaign in the entire DOW franchise?
>>744640192RTs are the nepobabbys of the Imperium. Touching them is akin to high treason.
>>744640249*Carron, not Crull.
>>744640248>>744640263Interesting. I assume the entire profession was invented for the tabletop game so you can roleplay whatever you want?And I already got the game on my backlog but I haven't even played Kangmaker yet
>>744635887>>744638209>>744638716>>744639667Man I sure do love Chaos Marines.>>744639948Not you though.
>>744640249>Korn
Dawn of war 4 is gone suck so fucking bad
Post marinesWIP
>>744640093>Are RTs so free that they can hang out with literal chaos legionsNo. Chaos is a strict no-no for everybody.
>>744640249Khorne cares not from whence the blood flows, only that it flows. Most of those examples offered huge sacrifices of blood and skulls to the Blood God, and this pleases him. Kyras offered a whole fucking sector as a big offering to him, and he really likes that kind of thing.
>>744640384The primaris drip is truly sub-mediocre
Warhammer used to have such SOVL.I fucking hate how marvelized and corporate it has become
>>744638693abhumans are mutants in all but name, its just they are often to convient for the Imperium so they invent some cope about it, but make no mistakes among many in the Imperium they are viewed as mutants, especially the very zealous ones like your average sister of battle, there are even some sisters that view space marines as disgusting mutants despite being made by their god, in other words to most sisters the only difference between and abhuman and a mutant is red tape
>>744640249Kyras was dedicating the slaughter of the entire Aurelia sub sector to Khorne. Even if he did it in a somewhat Tzeentch like manner, he still offered the sacrifice of a couple million people to Khorne, which is enough blood and skulls that I imagine Khorne was willing to overlook all of that.
>>744640093on paper no, but due to how much autonomy rogue traders have its very easy for them to flirt with cultists and eventually get corrupted by the promises of chaos
>>744640447abhumans are described as fairly consistent mutations that would logically make them a subspecies of humanity. Your run of the mill mutant suffering from chaos taint are not the same, even if both are technically mutants to some degree. It's the difference between an Ogryn, Ratling, and Longshanks to some warp infused motherfucker sprouting tentacles, eyes, and teeth in places where they shouldn't be.
>>744636505STEADY YOURSELF BROTHERhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNK5-uE5JFg
>>744640192No, chaos worship is the highest crime one can do. >So the Inquisition doesn't rape heretic RTsThey do, if said RTs get caught. But RTs have a lot of resources and mostly operate on the fringes on the imperium. Its like solving a murder case in rural Alaska.
>>744640415>jungle world and Angelos's home planet got exterminatus'd>desert one holds, Meridian is contested>snowy one is Nurgle's if anyone'sVery cheap.>>744640303Traitor Guard in Space Marine were pretty cool, unlike their boss who was like the shittiest nothingburger around.
>>744640249Khornates still uses sorcerers to navigate the warp and utilize sorcerers to open portals to bring his berserking retards in. His NO SORCERY EVER only applies to combat, not strategy.
>>744640384Why would you not want to have your robot foot armoured as much as your real one
>>744640447The ecclesiarchy that the sisters work for are the ones in charge of sanctioning abhumans, are they not(or is that the administratum)? So if they say it's okay then that's it. Also the distinction between mutant and abhuman is very clear. Are the deviations from baseline humanity cause by warp exposure? That's a mutant. Is it a result of environmental adaptation or deliberate genetic engineering and as such breeds true with zero or near zero deviation between parent and child? That's an abhuman.
>>744637730I'm still mad the cool commissar with the cool voice was a non-character with no actual story relevance.
>>744640114This seems like such an overly-specialised variant. In what situation would you ever use this?
Our enemies hide in...METAL BAAAWKSES! The cowards! THE FOOOOOLS! We... hrhhhh....we should TAKE AWAAAY THEIR METAL BAWKSES!
What do (you) think about Total Warhammer 40k? I watched that chink video, they made it seem like it's all strategical like you're playing fucking Sudden Strike, but it still just looked like ramming lines into each other will be the best
>>744641092It's going to be the same shit as Fantasy Warhammer. Blob warfare where melee is fucking useless and ranged unit spam.
Offtopic, but my favorite Chaos Champion portrayal is a Slaaneshi CSM from the novel Farseer:>got kicked out (but not killed) of the Emperor's Children for raiding his captain's pleasure palace and destroying it while killing all of the slaves over a perceived debt>as a hedonist one of his pursuits is smoking lots of exotic alien weed>smoked so much he actually surpassed his limits and did something he himself considers impossible: he overpowered his "perfect" immune system and gave himself extensive brain damage>constantly forgets stuff like not knowing where one of his servants is and then pats himself on the back for his perfect memory when he remembers that he threw the guy out of the air lock some days ago for dull poetry>when his master, a powerful Daemon Prince, entices him with an offer of power to trample all of his lessers, he says something like "And even you will get some, master", doesn't understand why the Prince momentarily makes a very mad face, wonders if he slipped up AGAIN and said his thoughts out loud before thinking "Nah, I am too clever for such a fuck up">doesn't understand why an Eldar Aspect Warrior doesn't find his offer to make her his pet even remotely interesting
>>744640894> In what situation would you ever use this?Cockroach infestation has gotten out of hand and needs a more aggressive solution.
>>744641220>melee is fucking uselessThat's why I always play on normal battle difficulty
>>744641239Slaaneshi Chainsawman...
>>744641092There really was no need to hide some vehicles in reserve for a "surprise flank attack". I doubt the AI couldn't see them and even if didn't it didn't affect its overall plan: attack the player's army.
>>744641239>So stoned that he gained negative IQ.>The epitome of "I AM A GENIUS!" and then "Oh no!" Lol. That is pretty funny.
>>744640447>there are even some sisters that view space marines as disgusting mutants despite being made by their godA reminder one should never give a fuck what women think no matter the universe.
>>744640384you ARE replicating a chapter, arent you anon?
>>744640894Any horde type enemy, like orks, nids, other IG. Also, in-lore those are really good at overloading void shields
Do they still whore out the license to anyone making a shitty mobile game?
>>744641239That's hilarious. Is the novel actually good?
This any good? The only thing I remember from reading gaman magazines at the time is that there's a duel mechanic for your heroes
>>744640289Back when Rogue Trader first appeared, the entire setting was much more light-hearted. The premise of RT is that they are your dudes going on wacky space adventures with their alien friends and allies. When GW decided to turn the setting into Grimdark, something has to be changed to reflect that. However changing the concept of RT is disrespectful because it was one of the oldest thing in 40k (in the real world), so the RT can still go on wacky space adventures with xenos but they are actually sanctioned directly by Big E to be above the law in unclaimed space
>>744641240you WILL be eaten by ze bugs!
>>744641754As a proud tertiary, I refuse to believe the setting was ever not grimdark
>>744635887>MASTER OF HOUNDSwhy did he feel the need to mention he owns some dogs?
>>744641240When you think about it, being eaten by nids is the best thing that can happen to you>get turned into this guy after you get assimilated>become immortal because if your body dies you just get respawned as another nid
>>744641696I want to know this too. I've been on a WarhamFan binge and I want to play some game set in the setting that's not Total War.
How did dow1 and dow2 have such superb memes and voicelines? I'm not sure if it's even possible for dow4 to competeThis thread reminded me of the good old youtube dow shitpost days https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpBngmCpUrU
>>744641857Nids aren't zombies anon, they don't "recruit" you
>>744641857>born again as a nid>Immediately die seconds after you're born because you were the first wave on an ice planet and freeze to deathSure, great alternative...
>>744641886Good voice actors.The thing the industry is trying to do away with.
>>744642003Lets be honest though american voice actors are spiritually jewish with how retardedly overpriced their services are. imagine spending hundreds of thousands for some guy to say 5 voice lines.
>>744641635I think it's a pretty great adventure story. MC is a Rogue Trader who's fallen on hard times and the secondary MC is the titular Farseer (male). It's by William King, the guy who wrote first Gotrek's books.>>744641696>>744641874Haven't played the expansion but I think it's good. It's basically Total War without the strategy aspect or like Dark Omen but 3D.Also has one of the best Warhammer intros:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5enBMSH5ghc
>>744642380I remember that intro from Unskippable
>>744641886because no one gives a fuck about a franchise anymore which is pozzed beyond repair.Its just like gun and military guys. They managed an ultra masculine space look gay and lame.
>>744642417Hiring a bunch of faggots, women, and faggots larping as women will do that sadly.
>>744640249Khorne doesn’t care where the blood flows from, only that it flows>b-but khorne hates all warpcraft!Just think about this secondary bullshit for a second and you’ll realise how stupid it is. How the fuck do you think his cultists summon daemons or even travel the warp if he hates all warpcraft? He hates psykers killing with it, which is why Sindri got his soul eaten while Kyras, who abstained for the sacrifice, did not.
>>744637416What do you mean 'dropped the ball'? He was fucking great, and he also provided a bunch of funny as fuck memes.
>>744642256That's every trade ever. You want good kill sync animations, pay more for good animators and don't outsource to India.You want good art, spend more and hire talented artists and not some AI slop firm.You want good voice acting, hire credited voice actors with experience in the industry like SCOTT MCNEIL, MIGHTY IS HE and the MLP VAs.
>>744641696It's fun. It's smaller scale Total Warhammer, but with an actual plot. And it's nice to see a Warhammer game that isn't actually grimderp. The main Empire guy is a very nice and pleasant dude and even elves are nice to him. I do hope him and Aurelion fuckedm
>>744642530Yeah, I get it, just think it's funny that there's still people thinking there's anything noble or positive about chaos gods.>which is why Sindri got his soul eatenWasn't that secondary knowledge like some novel interpretation?
>>744641886They were made when great actors could be grabbed for reasonable rates without being forced to drag some bottom feeders along for the ride
>>744642380Sweet. I'll have to give the game a try, then.
>>744641092Cover looks ridiculuosly overpowered from the clips they've showed, unless you field tons of melee assult units or transports it's going to be a artillery campfest.Flamethrowers and grenades are not enough to break through without number advantage
If I wanted to discuss söyhammer I'd have to wait until all imperiumtrannies ack.
>t.Marazhai
>>744641092I still don't trust that they can translate 40k into Total War gameplay, especially considering the scale they show.
>>744643613Well like every new Total War game, I expect it to be riddled with bugs, broken or otherwise poor AI, and some mechanics just not working at all on launch. Which has been a consistent theme as far back as Rome 2.
>>744644998>Rome 2Nah, think Empire.Yes, that game existed.
>>744640249It seems a lot of people forget that the only reason Sindri and Kyras went to Khorne's side in the first place is because the Daemon of the Maledictum was a Greater Daemon of Khorne and somehow he can turn you into a Daemon Prince which is funny as far as lore breaking goesHis influence on Tartarus was strong enough he made 25% of the imperial forces go full blood cult when his seals were weakening thanks to Sindri
>>744645068Oh I remember it, it had naval combat (that hasn't returned) a heavy emphasis on ranged combat, and had some really cool ideas....that CA never went back to because the new team working at the company just removes ideas that don't work rather than refining them until they do. I mean, sure, I get why, but it's such a lame excuse that you would on one hand try to innovate your own mechanics, then give up when you can't think of a way to make it work.
I like to dabble in 40k, started reading the Gaunt's Ghosts books because I like imperial guard stuff and now I'm desperately trying to find a game to scratch the itch. Couldn't really get into Darktide, thinking maybe Helldivers 2 is the closest I can get.
>>744636925>>744637028lol'd
>>744645472Dawn of War:Definitive Edition has most of the tabletop factions available as playable, and is still one of the best 40k RTS games, and one of the better RTS games from its era.Warhammer 40k:Gladius:Relics of War also has a lot of factions that do play very differently but you go from RTS to turn based strategy 4X game that focuses almost exclusively on the exterminate of the Xs. Fun, but has some quirks to its mechanics you don't really see anywhere else in 4X games that make getting used to it a bit of a hump. Expect early games to have negative happiness spirals until you understand how much you can expand into new cities.Mechanicus is another turn based strategy game but more squad based tactics, where you play as the Adeptus Mechanicus (naturally) investigating a Necron Tomb World. Very fun, but sometimes total bullshit as both the map and the objectives can change suddenly and you get sucker punched to lose a tech priest you've been building up for a while. Still good, the 2nd game isn't as good I hear.Oh yeah, Dawn of War 2 is fine but unlike the first game it's on a much smaller scale and focuses pretty heavily on cover mechanics and hero units, but can still be fun. Has 3 expansions and only the last one lets you pick your faction that isn't just Space Marines. We don't talk about DoW 3...Hopefully that helps you pick a new game to try.
>>744641437But they're completely right
>>744645472If you like the whole small regiment working as a part of a larger war machine aspect of the story then I recommend Battle Brothers and Mountain Blade. They're not scifi but you can certainly get the same named characters doing heroic feats and possibly dying terrible deaths vibe of the series.
Can we talk about Fantasy here too?How is Vermintide 2's public multiplayer nowadays for new players? Are every remaining players just level 200 speedrunners who can solo entire level on their own now? Am I fucked if I can't get my friends to buy the game and play it with me?
>>744642380>MC is a Rogue TraderI somehow never read a single novel with a RT before so this should be interesting.>Farseer (male)Dropped. Literally unreadable.
>>744646259last time I played was in February plenty of nooblets were present, there is occasional sperg who will rush ahead, get pounced, babble something in bumfuckinstanian language and rage quit personally I find it more fun chaperoning new players and show them what each respective class can achieve.
>>744645226>naval combatOh fuck, imagine if they add naval combat for 40k Total War. They could use the same system as Shogun 2 and it would kinda fit.
>>744646259Still fine, but one of Vermintide 2's big features I liked was that whatever build and equipment you had on a character, the AI will then use. Not as well as a player, mind you, but it means you can slowly build up a team to take on Legendary and Cataclysm solo if you feel you're tired of literal who's ruining a run by dying constantly and failing to stick together, do the objective, or just being generally retarded. Strangely, it's a very friendly game if you feel like playing it by yourself as well as with other people. Obviously a group of organized, and well communicated players will outshine dipshit AI, but the option is nice to have anyway.
>>744645472I recommend Necromunda: Hired Gun
>>744646596>>744646775That's good to hear, thanks. I've been reading Gotrek and Felix and now I just want to kill all skavens.
God I want to play Dark Crusade again. Is the old game (Steam) playable on modern systems or do I have buy the remaster? Is it worth buying it anyway?
>>744646856based StreumOn chad
>>744640192Rogue Traders are the only people in the Imperium who have comparable power to Inquisitors, so if they're accused of Heresy, the accusing Inquisitor has to actually give them a trial and prove it, rather than just executing them summarily. The Custodes and Guilliman are the only ones who can tell the Inquisition to fuck off outright
>>744645472This >>744645705 and to include on top of that Chaos Gate: Demonhunters if your into turn based games. They even got the sequel to it where it's deathwatch instead.
>>744647054Isn't Daemonhunters that game where Grey Knights can die to random cultists with lasrifles?
>>744647097So just like the tabletop?
>>744647097Based flashlight cultists dabbing on the fag knights.
>>744647128Touche.
>>744640384My dudes
>>744647097That's if your a zug zug brain on high difficulty. As a guy who's played the shit out of Xcom, I played iron man on hardest difficulty and it was a very decent challenge with some cool voice acting in it. Hell you can go full multiplanet exterminatus and get told by the higher ups to "NOT FOLLOW KRYPTMANS STRATEGY.". I played when it first released but I heard there were updates and dlcs added so it might of changed a bit.
>>744647054Is the Deathwatch sequel good? Is it like XCOM where you command a squad of your own dudes or is it all prebuilt characters?
ready for KINO?>full on series of 40k animation from the secret level studio
>>744647238It's not released yet. But from how the customization was in Demonhunters for grey knight units it'll probably involve complex squad customizations. They also got more enemy variety in it so that games on my radar.
>>744647285>from the secret level studiolol
>>744641092Ask /twg/ of Creative Assembly is a competent developer for your answer
>>744646316B-but the Farseer's companion is a girl Eldar...
>>744647318Sounds good then. It better not be just tyranids, orks, and eldar again.
>>744649067There's like a trailer and screenshots on steam, tau are in. And there will be chaosfucks again, which justifies leaving Chaos Gate in the title.
>>744647285I've only recently become a warhammer fan, thanks to that secret level episode. Absolute kino.
>>744645472Maybe try 40k mod for the Openxcom, sprites and you can savescum to heroically save every last guardsman you want. Or let some die because Gaunt's ghosts die sometime. There's also ROSIGMA submod which makes the mod even fatter but adds some questionable shit like Chaos Battle Sisters of every chaos flavor as enemies.
>>744647182Nice Starcraft marines.
>>744640384I need to finish 'em.
SSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
>>744641239I was entertaining the idea of a custom Slaaneshi CSM warband where the gimmick is the leader is a competent and powerful fighter, but is just totally in love with huffing his own farts thinking he’s some great Robin Hood esque figure, or he’ll blast huge amounts of drugs to write poetry glorifying himself that lasts for days. He’s magnanimous and beautiful and he’ll even bring slaves to great banquets he orders prepared. But obviously once he leaves the room, they will be eaten by the rank and file.
>>744641696i played the game, its super linear and i would say its ok, you really can't play around with armies in the campaign, you have to set up a skirmish battle with AI. The campaign with orcs and dark elves is super hard i hated the stealth level
>>744636487>>744636925You are my Brothers and I shall stand here pinned with you.
>>744650989I'm a strict campaign only nigga
Can someone explain to me the mindset of doing Dawn of War 4 and Total 40k at the same time? They look basically identical except one has token basebuilding and the other has basebuilding tokens.
>>744640192Inquisitors have all their power in the centre of the imperium, where they can commandeer a fuckton of enforcers to do whatever they want. Rogue traders on the other hand have all their power in the fringes, where the RT is likely the only power a bunch of planets know. If an inquisitor finds a heretic RT, they've gotta try and slip assassins into the RTs retinue and/or slip away to get a force to deal with them, confronting them directly is a quick way to get disappeared. Conversely if a RT visits the milky way you'd better be damn sure he's on his best behaviour because any inquisitor with a grudge can have them deleted.
>>744645705Dawn of War 2 was so close to being great, evidenced by OPs character, but Jesus Christ are the base game’s missions a slog. I couldn’t bring myself to complete Chaos Rising because I was so burnt out from the identical 6 levels of bug hunting to complete the first campaign. And it’s a shame because I actually like the stuff CR ads and the levels have more going on.
>>744641857Do you think you're piloted around by a bunch of farm animals?
>>744640093They can't but they can hide it better than regular humans thanks to having almost unlimited freedom to do whatever they want
>>744651441Best summarised by this.
Any of the main mods work properly on Definitive yet?
>>744640192Rogue Traders can be in control of multiple Star Systems and call on enormous armies, Imperial navies, and some can have their own Space Marine allies to call on depending on the size of their realm they could have an entire chapter within their 'domain', along with other special factions or 'heroic' characters. They're individually weak as a 'person', but that's not really the point. The point is they're pretty much Kings of their own kingdoms that are 'loyal' but really have their own agendas.
>>744651441>—Not surprised this game was written by ChatGPT
>>744640384I keep going back and forth between Blood Angels and Black Templars, they're pretty much the only two chapters that do anything for me.
>>744640384My Iron Warriors
So, lemme get this straight. DoW 4 won't have elves?But I like elves.
>>744640192Fraternising with chaos is one of the few things that can get a warrant of trade torn up and a RT dynasty ended. Inquisitors often have to rely on a RTs troops to enforce their will out in pioneer regions however so it's difficult to carry out.
>>744651113Total War = map painting simulatorDawn of War = base destruction simulator
>>744652165>dynasty>>744651648>Rogue Traders can be in control of multiple Star Systems and call on enormous armiesThese niggas are basically feudal lords?
>>744652245>These niggas are basically feudal lords?Yeah that's one way to think of them, Space Feudal lords.
>>744652245>These niggas are basically feudal lords?They're basically space explorer-conquistadors
>>744640249Kyras gave a really good speech so he gets a mulligan
>>744652245Yeah the Imperium is essentially a neofeudal realm. The centralized administration is overburdened by bureaucracy and by fighting losing wars on every front, which leaves a power vacuum that local merchants and warlords can easily fill.The dynamic can be formal, like an officially appointed sector administrator misappropriating the wealth and resources of their sector to pursue personal goals under the Imperium's nose, or it can be informal, like wealthy merchants whose influence and loyalties effectively give them more power over a sector than its official admins.
>>744651235I still like DoW2 as this incredibly experimental game that mixed RTS and ARPG mechanics together for something generally different from what was on offer at the time for RTS games. I do admit that the base games campaign could drag on due to lack of map variety, and also how you can break the games difficulty with just Cyrus and his infinite infiltration and det pack charges. Who needs a whole army when you have 1 man and his 2 scout cheerleaders?
>>744640093Nah, uralon is a main anragonist for and youbcan only recruit him way late as a heretic. By that point all your regular character either left or got corrupted themselves and you are heading out dark stars where no good servant of the emperor would thread.And the lord inquisitor is there
>LET US DUEL THEN, LORD OF FOOLS>you don't actually want your Eldar Warlock to "duel" a Chaos LordI love this little elffer like you wouldn't believe.
>>744639709DoW has a long and proud history of Khorne sorcerers. Hell, the very first expansion of the first game had World Eater sorcerers. And not to mention Sindri and Kyras.
>>744642451its amazing how much mental gymnastics these faggots do trying to justify that the average 40kfag is a kamala voter who blows his paycheck to paints tyranids for his over/underweight blue haired girlfriend who cheats on him. Their idea of manliness is shaving with a single blade razor instead of a safety one.
I liked Idira despite benching her
>>744653382She's great if you wanna Heretic.Useless for anything else.
>>744640384Respect for being an Iron Hands fan
>>744636323FOR EACH 40K THREAD THAT DIES 10 MORE WILL TAKE ITS PLACE
>Give soulstorm a try and fall in love with the sisters of battle and their units>Find out they're the weakest faction in the gameI just wanted to purge my enemies with fire and flame.
>>744652568I really don't think the devs tested their own game on hard or primarch or they would have realized how insanely weak Thaddeus is. I don't care how squads are set up in tabletop, he desperately needed some kind of gimmick besides getting himself insta-supressed.
>>744640093The situation is a bit special because the other two rogue traders in the region are batshit insane and the lord inquisitor is giving (You) a lot of amnesty to somehow wrangle the Koronus expanse back into orderBy the time you recruit the chaos space marine you're already way past the point of caring though
>>744651681I fucking hate how em dashes are a sign for AI writing now when I use them all the time before AI was a thing.
>>744655756Well, good writers like them because they're great for formatting your text, and unfortunately AI crawled all that text by good writersSucks to be you, just press the - button
I want more thousand sons, when are they gonna have an event and we get more named units besides Ahriman?
>>744653559Is /tg/ so dead that fa/tg/uys have to talk about 40k here?
>>744656316Is /v/ so shit that they complain about it?
>>744655450When he finally gets Terminator armor, he makes for a great bullet sponge so all your actually important squads can do the real work.
Ok am re-installing Chaos Rising and Retribution, any funny build for the company
>>744652568I recently replayed DoW2 again and I'm baffled that younger me never noticed that they only had nine maps in the campaign and just switched the camera angles around for each mission.
>>744656659Melee Avitus and Tarkus, ranged Thaddeus and Vanilla Ice.
>>744656683It's criminal how they are all totally symmetrical. There's no flow to anything.>>744656527Game should have had an option to put Cyrus in terminator armor. I think that would have been funny.
>>744656527Does he? I remember Tarcus being the perfect sponge, the most unkillable guy in the game you if you upgrade his health to maximum. And with Tarcus there's no need for another meat shield
>>744656920The Blood Ravens don't have the tactical genius necessary to have scout terminators.
>>744636323The thread broke before anon did.
>>744657010Thaddeus surprisingly does it amazingly well, because outside of that, he doesn't really provide actual ranged firepower to the team that isn't done better by the force commander, Cyrus, or even Tarkus with a top quality plasma gun and some grenades. Hell Dreadnaught Thule does it better while occasionally Kool-Aid manning himself through cover and smaller buildings.
>>744656920>It's criminal how they are all totally symmetrical.Oh yeah, you're right. The game's still really fun though, despite how repetitive it is.And it made me think that a Diablo/Path of Exile style game with 40k skin could absolute work because of the loot drop and leveling system.
>>744657267That game exists though. It's called Warhammer 40k: Inquisitor: Martyr. Or Warhammer Fantasy: Chaosbane if you want the non sci-fi version. Both are....okay. Not the worst ARPG I ever played but I have played better ones.
Dow2 had a super fun multiplayer, it's a shame that the only people left playing it now are playing some community tranny balance mod that fucks the game balance with retarded shit
>>744641857This is like saying being eaten by a bear is kewl because you get to be a bear.
>>744657353...I totally forgot Inquisitor - Martyr exist. I think I played Chaosbane on launch but it was insanely clunky.
>>744657524Worked for that one film director who really liked bears. Didn't work out so well for his girlfriend who was with him at the time.
>>744640192RT have their own fleets and armies, so if an Inquisitor wants to mess with one, he'd better have more ships/troops, and a LOT of proof behind him. Also, since the Imperium very much belives in guilt by association, you best belive that all the RT troops will fight to the bitter end
>>744640384
40k is lame as fuck, marines are lame as fuck, it's only good when you have a ridiculous character that basically shuts down all the dumb ass shit around them
>>744658041damn you're so cool
>>744657880I don't like how ornamental modern muhreens are. They look better in 90's getup.

>>744656316/tg/ is worse than dead; a dead board has no one to discuss things with. /tg/, however, is anti-discussion. think of your favorite vidya that has a dedicated schizo intent on ruining each of its threads: we have one for every single thread on /tg/.
>>744658583So the old adage still has some truth? If you want to talk about a boards actual topic, go to a different board?

>>744635887One of the biggest letdowns in DoW 3 was the voice acting feeling so stiff and lifeless compared to previous entries. I hope DoW 4 gives us the sovlful voice acting back.
