    Eldar rape ridiculous amounts in this game.

    Dark reapers, seer's council, and avatar. Utter pwnage.

    Plus you can make chains of support platforms and have one of the most well-defended bases in the game.

      I can see that idiot Gavin Thorpe had a hand in the video game's balance, then. The eldar in the table top game have always been unbalanced. Stupid wraithlords, dark reapers, and warlocks/farseers have always been way too powerful. Any time you see one race having a clear advantage over the others, you know the designers did a poor job of balancing. I refuse to play them just for that reason alone, even though I love their background.

        My thoughts EXACTLY. You said it perfect.

        Gav Thorpe + Eldar + Wraithlord = hate and frustration.

        As a LONG time 40k player, since first edition, I'm really looking forward to Dawn of War. Man those pics look good. More can be found here:



        Release date as of now is 9-20-04. Hope that stays that way.

              i played warhammer 40k for a year or so, not so much playing, but more buying and painting the units, when i saw this games preview i was amazed, i am going to upgrade my comp just so i can play it. i cant wait, it looks so awesome.

                    The game is going to me moddable for different armies as well.

                    There are already projects in the works for Imperial Guard, Tau, Tyranids, and Necrons, I believe.

                      Yeah, UM are a bit vanilla. I love the DA, but they lost a few cool points when I discovered that their chapter name comes from a poem about homosexuality. Oops. I think I might do white scars or bloor angels next.

                      Thordic, liking the upcoming armies. It'll be cool to see IG tanks roaming the fields, and the Tau have always been nicely balanced. But the NECRONS? Ugh, they better do them the right way. In the tabletop they are horribly unbalanced, cheese-o-riffic.

                        Man I wish I would've downloaded it when I had the chance. Bummer.

                        A few people at my work love it. Makes me wanna play it.

                        Back to watching my TRIBES VENGANCE download finish...lol.

                            No, thats the GAME background. The REAL basis for the game is the poem "Dark Angel" by Lionel Johnson (note the origin for the primarch Lion'el Johnson

                              My brothers friend is sending me a copy of it I'll let you guys know how I like it when I get it. Coming from a person who has never played warhammer 40k before.

                                Dang, that sure takes the wind out of the sails when it comes to making/playing/collecting a DA army....
