DoW2 Official Website

I dont know about you guys, but I've got a pretty raging clue right now. Sadly, Tyranids still aint confirmed.

[via Kotaku]

Ohhh and I got a package yesterday from a certain Muscely Red Dude. Looking within I not only find all the figures I ordered but also a lil transformer dude who turns into a ball (and, presumebly, spies on ping pong players in transformed mode)


From left to right; Rei Ayanami from Evangelion, Transforming ping pong ball, Nibbler!, Kaneda Tetsuo from Akira, Major Motoko from GitS, and Street Fighters Ken

Looks like Xiahou Dun and my Windwaker figures have some pretty new companions to hang out with and/or raip.



Thanks again, UnstoppableJuggernaut!

Which one is Dawn of War again?
Genmo DaCombs's Destructoid Blog
The first series was too low budget, although I am kind of in love with the WH40k universe. The fiction behind it is insanely deep for something that seemed to have started out so basic and shitty.

Relic has Company of Heroes under their belt now though so maybe some more money will be pumped into this franchise. Like Warcraft III production values I'll settle for.

Oh and thanks for breaking this story for me.

@Genmo

Yeah, the 40K universe is great. War on such an epic scale is, well...epic!
Tragic Hero's Destructoid Blog
OMG! YOU'RE THE ASSHOLE WHO BOUGHT MY KEN FIGURE!!!!! I'LL KILL YOU!!!

I mean...where have you been man? You seemed to have disappeared for a bit. And I am so stoked for Dawn of War 2
Simmons 2pt0's Destructoid Blog
I was looking forward to the MMO because I'm a whore but I'm also looking forward to DoW2 now as well. The 40k universe rocks but I was also a bit disappointed in the first Dawn of War.

@Tragic: THE VERY SAME ASSHOLE! *twirls curleh moustache*

Yeah ive been pretty busy with my animation deadline coming up at the start of may, so I may dissapear again for a whiles - I just wanted to drop this story so I could share my joy with fellow Dtoiders. And many fappings.

@Genmo: Yeah I reckon this is going to be a higher budget and all round higher quality game. Ive heard the CoH engine was pretty awesome, and DoW is certainly bringing the sexy back in full force.
mistic's Destructoid Blog
Wow man I can't wait to get my hands on this, DoW was the best strategy game I ever played!
Gemsi's Destructoid Blog
I can't wait for this, hopefully all the main races will feature this time
longrunripper's Destructoid Blog
@AgHz. Only cause you can't handle DoW you noob.

yeah, it looks pretty, but im not so sure about the down scaling. I would have like an upscalling if anything. A few hundred marines, for example.
I imagine it will still be good, but i'm not entirely sure why they have called it DoW. With only the rumored six units, i'm presuming theres little to none base building going on, and therefore passes little resemblance to dawn of war.
time will tell (@AgHz: and i'll still be better than you at it...noob)
Silverhertz's Destructoid Blog
@ longrun: Im not one with the newb avatar! :-P Also, im going to train over summer and then kick yo ass bitch! More marines would mean more multitasking - fuck that, I think its going to be easier to handle and less of the zerg rushes from imperial gaurd an the likes
longrunripper's Destructoid Blog
Sp long as DoW2 is more like the table top, allowing for a greater range of wargear (jump packs for example) i'll be happy.

 about me

Maybe ill go next-gen one day...the PS3 is looking pretty tempting. At the moment im content playing on my PC, DS & Gamecube.

Top 5 Games
Chaos (ZX Spectrum) - One of the earliest games I played, and I still enjoy it today.
Zelda: OoT (N64) - Cliche I know but this game made me open up my heart to consoles.
Eternal Darkness: Sanitys Requiem (GC) - Only got a GC recently but I couldnt put this game down.
Dawn of War (PC) - Multiplayer RTS at its best, unlike 2 - Relic WTF?
Total Annihilation (PC) - The original rocked so hard, wasn't that impressed with the 'Spiritual Successor' Supreme Commander.

Favourite Series of Games
Dynasty Warriors - Square, Square, Square, Triangle.....Circle MUSSSOOOOUUUUUUUU!!
Age of Wonders - I have a strange love for these turn-based time consumers.
Battlefield - Ever since 1942, best multiplayer action Ive found.
Delta Force - The other FPS series I enjoyed, shame Joint Ops sucked
Eye of the Beholder - Old school RPG <3
Mechwarrior - Giant mechs blowing the crap out of each other? Whats not to love. I miss you FASA.
