DAWN OF WAR 4

it's nu-40k so irredeemable dogshit anyway

Yeah, the modern Primaris-ified Space Marine army is absolutely terrible and soulless and as an RTS it's going to be impossible to wriggle out of it. Space Marine 2 got away with it by being super zoomed in on an individual guy and his two buddies and then treating them almost exactly as old-school Marines before they turned into Aspect Warriors for some fucking reason. Dawn of War is absolutely going to be saddled with the dumb Primaris units with their even dumber names.

The logic is probably that real threats like nids and orc waghs are too much for normal space marine 1,000 man legions, so primaris can heroically successfully defend against such threats instead of being wiped out
but the real problem was always ammo

hurr 100-400 space marines won Dark Crusade because um they have infinity BILLION ammo and like um each bolter explodes 1,000 xenos per shot (still wouldn't be enough to make up for the numbers difference)

Primaris slop with rigid 1:1 recreations of tabletop models.

remake of the original or Dawn of War 4?

Dawn of war 3 was extremely disappointing, half assed base building and lack of factions.

Posting this faggot's art

Your opinion is irrelevant.

I'm tired of you niggerfaggots posting non-stop porn in every 40k thread.

Space Marine 2

Man i love the game, i really do, but it's clear that it was too big for the devs, every update has new bugs (not counting new nids) and the server connection still sucks, i have lost count of how many operations i've finished just so the game fucks up and stays stuck on a black screen

ive played over 20 matches in the past 3 dats and not disconnected once.

have you tried not living in a 3rd world country?

It also solidifies my position that the Primaris ONLY look good the further away from the new aesthetic GW has been going with them. The more gothic and detailed the armor gets as you rank up, the better each class looks. Otherwise, GW took one of their most iconic factions and started making them look like generic space man in armor. Who the fuck does that? Just strips the aesthetic of their own brand like that?

I give them another chance to correct their mistake.

excuse me sir? You can't post this artist anymore, sir, reddit has canceled him. SIR?

It only happens when playing operations, eternal war is fine

You just know the entire faction list is going to consist of

primaris ultramarines

orks

eldar

Is she in?

Who the fuck does that? Just strips the aesthetic of their own brand like that?

It's clear that they're trying to push the whole tacticool shit since Anon Babbleommando autism is becoming more and more mainstream, especially since Astartes is arguably one of the most well known 40k projects among normalfags

Personalization and unique weaponry

That'll be an extra $35 plus tax per 500pts of dudes, goy.
I started in 9th and getting a Tactical and Devastator squad opened my eyes to how destitute modern marines are. Half the fucking intercessor sprue is just boltgun mag variants instead of anything with extra personality.

eldar

Lmao, you'll get primaris, chaos, orks, and maybe tyranids

I started in 9th

My condolences.

t. started in 3rd

weird, i remember when the laest patch came out their was connection issues for a day or 2. But i havent had any problems in ages.

Kind of why i hope its a DOW 1 remake and not a DOW 4.

they really shit the bed with 3.

Geedubs created the primaris to evade disney suing them to oblivion because of retards pointing falsely that the Errant and Aquila helmets were based on Darth Vader and the Stormtroopers.
And this was in that magic period shitsney was suing everyone prior to the nu trilogy

Given how shit DoW3 was, I don't have much faith in relic anymore

I hope it's about the DoW 2 Force Commander. Put him in his Pentient Crusade and have him recruit other madlads as he tries to survive.

play iron hands

All my upgrdes and transfers are super cheap

winning!

Which is a totally different problem as well. One of the main reasons the guns of the models are comically large is that it's easier to see what the model is carrying, thus easier to identify at a quick glance. A storm bolter isn't just a different bolter variant, it's a new model bit that looks different from the standard bolter. Same for the heavy bolter, and all of the special weapons. All the boltgun variants look too similar, because the base bit is the same, you just swap out the little spinny bit where the ejection port on the upper receiver would be. It's stupid, and accounts for people who either don't play the game or didn't account for that.

AoE2 was superior to IV in all aspects because the retards at relic are still the former blizzard employees aping SC2 Mechanics into a fucking medieval game.

i bought dow3 for liek 6 bucks to try it out recently. i uninstalled it 5 min in and went back to 1.

i hope to fucking god they learn, but they won't

If they do DOW4 the retards will copy Reddit Apocalypse Mod

retards at relic are still the former blizzard employees aping SC2 Mechanics into a fucking medieval game.

Jesus christ that explains a lot why I hated IV too. I hope they get raped and sodomized on a few AM radio stations.

I don't think it was that. I think it has more to do with GW losing a lawsuit over copyright relating to generic fantasy creatures like orcs and skeletons. Cue Age of Sigmar making "Duardin" and "Orruks" or 40k now having "Codex: Adeptus Astartes" and Dark Eldar becoming "Drukhari". It's them throwing the baby with the bathwater to have copyrightable names and images after losing something they shouldn't have fought in the first place.

Relic forgot how to make good RTS games sometime after CoH2

hopefully with the fuck huge success the game has been they will be able to get some more talent for the upcoming space marine 3

Nah it's gonna be primaris and chaos.
This is how their dlc will come out.
Orks will be day 1 19.99 dlc.
Eldar will be 19.99 dlc
Dark eldar will be a 10.99 add on to the base eldar dlc.
After backlash from a dlc to a dlc they will "apologize" release a better dlc based around other imperial forces.
Imperial guard 32.99 dlc. Comes with all your favorite guard army skins! Cadians, kreig, and Valhallans! Also we are enabling skins for all our previous armies (10.99 dlc to enable skins)
Release 1.99 skin packs.

So uh what do you think about Space King?

Reddit.

Retard

nu-40k

nu-Relic

Yeah what could go wrong?

don't care for it

Unserious fun

For Everyone.png - 610x688, 492.19K

First one was good, second one shows they have no further ideas. Should have done a parody chaos instead of trying to mash together blood angels/necron/tyranid

What I would not give for skitarii in a good RTS

Yeah, DoW3 which was the now dead Relic Montreal, was made by these fags, who did not only hated the OG2 games but also pulled the same faggotry blizzard did, there it is the archived thread at Anon Babble about how this shitshow happened.
i think is at the old Anon Babble archive too.
The long story short is that they wanted DoW3 to be more like SC2 with retarded DoW1 mechanics when 2 and COH made under the Main Vancouver Branch became more iconic due to being more accurate to the damn tabletop, and people wanted DoW2 cover mechanics with DoW1 Basebulding and 2's wargear system for flexibility.

Also said vancouver branch went radio silent until the game was done and the damage was done, with GW livid over it, Relic Angry to a point the montreal studio was closed, and the remains were still hired to work for the main relic at vancouver because cucanada laws, and said people worked on AoEIV.

this is fucked up

Hatemonger was truly the best boy

DO YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO?

My guess is that they just want to develop the characters before showing more factions so it can be more than just a simple 40k parody, hell as far as we know they probably won't include any proper psyker/warp shit and it will be just a monster of the week scenario with wildly different aliens

It's gonna be solely focused on online competitive play isn't it?

I kind of wish women would understand that sometimes I'd like to go to a place that isn't filled with them trying to make shit lame and gay on purpose. They have their spaces, let me have mine.

Tomb Kangz in spess

IT IS A GOOD PAIN

Don't they include upgrade sprues in most combat patrols now? I know that was the case for all Blood Angels boxes for 10th

Guy with comically large nose is the best at tracking kids

They also had a JQ joke in the same episode

CHAOS, CONSOOOM US

This is worst than the horus heresy, is it just over for relic/the dow ip in general? RTS games right now seem to be a shit state and I don't know much other devs that could revive dow/40k rts.

Tau, DE, Nids and IG are sold separately

The merchant cries as he swindles you.

As it should be, retarded faggot
CoH3 crashed and burned wasting half the budget on content to pander to Total War faggots.

You retard pvers want to a-move unit spams and will never financially support or buy campaign RTS

I kind of miss DoWII but it wouldn't even be the same because now the tabletop is casualized and if you want things like "where you shoot armor matters" you have to play 30k.

Also GW will never fix the nuSquats because they're basically Capcom now

wow this half-assed attempt we made at introducing/revamping/adding new units to an army that isn't SM or CSM didn't immediately sell out and kill SM or CSM in sales, better just fucking give up on it and never try anything new ever again.

I AM NOT YOUR BOOTLICK

IG and Chaos are in the base game as NPC units again and unplayable factions until their DLCs

Uhm they're the Leagues of Votann now? Jej, learn your lore kiddo B)

NuNecrons still have the "destroy all life" aspect with the Destroyer Cults. The other bit allowed them to have more interesting stories besides being boogeymen that appear at random, kill everyone, and disappear before anyone knew what the fuck happened. It's more an accident that they got a few good characters at all given it was Matt Ward that made them.

DoW3

But is DoW2 cover mechanics and Wargear System

Also More tabletop centered

Also Base Building and DoW1 control points

Maybe some good shit DoW1 mods and COH had

More reasons to hate Blizzard employees hired to any fucking company outside the OG

Nah, Trollzyn is a gem as the angry female yandere tomb queen known as Xun'bakyr who is still oldcrons

Women aren't fucking up Warhammer, Troons are.
Been playing Warhammer since 1997, I could count every biological female player I've seen IRL on my fingers, yet probably a good 30% of the players at my local GW now are Troons.

I knew exactly 1 woman who played, and it was because her husband played and she just liked painting. She played Orks, called them her rambunctious children.

Is that why the EC are being pushed now?

Chaos is almost certainly going to make an appearance and my guess is that it's going to be a Helluva/Hazbin/Digital Circus parody what with those being the exact opposite of Space King.

They were just cooler and more menacing before 6th edition. They're kind of goofy and feel a lot more non-threatening like orks now

Why won't Mossa draw these two fucking already?

Honestly this seriously crossed my mind as well.

Helluva/Hazbin/Digital Circus parody

That's so fucking obvious i genuinely feel like a retard for not thinking about it, it would be funny if they got the actors from the pilot just so twitter fags start a shitshow over them being in a """chud""" show

WHY AREN'T WE KILLING YET

wat EC?
I am still livid that Geedubs butchered any goodwill oldhammer old world would have

weak
t. Fantasy Chad

EC

being pushed

Huh? They were the only monogod legion without an army or codex and its still as anemic as World Eaters and Thousand Sons. How the fuck are they being pushed? lmao. Maybe if they were like Death Guard in 8th you'd have a good point

I understood what you mean by that KEK

Wow, that's actually more disgusting to look at then a Plague Marine.

IT EXPLAINS A LOT...
IT REALLY EXPLAINS A LOT.
mainly looking how is at Black Library and the entire shitshow happening at brittain rn

I think it was a joke anon

Imagine if they actually looked like that, would that be btter or worse?

It would fit the theme of excessive debauchery to a tee. I suppose I'll just stick with the walking sub-woofers instead.

slavic trophy rack

Brutal

Better. EC and Slaanesh have been neutered. Instead of cenobite sex pests and drug addicts like they used to be they're just obsessed with perfection or something gay like that

It would be better if 40k was still edgy, nowadays they would look out of place, don't want to scare little Timmy's mom when she's buying his plastic soldiers

if it plays like dow1 or 2 (unlikely) then I'll be actually excited
if it's like 3, then I might enjoy the cinematic trailer

Hopefully like Dawn of War II and not the abortion that was 3.

THIS is your emperor loyalistsissies?

I didn't like II either

base building

That was the primary issue. It had base building. Dawn-of-war was small squad tactics RTS. Not traditional RTS.

Imagine the smell

HWEE CAPTURED EET
FOR KAYOSS

Better for aesthetic consistency worse for the marketing push unless you are intending to go full Weimar with it. A polished skull on a pointed stick is one thing. Having a half mutilated torso still dripping all over your power pack is another.

god I fucking wish
at least we got new noise marines

Makes me think of that British prostitute who fucked 100 men in a day. Apparently the smell in the room was so bad the camera man nearly vomited and couldn't enter.

I like the characterization, they're pretty much everything the Eldar were supposed to be but executed way better. What I don't like is that their baseline form is too human so they just look like Terminator rip offs, which is all they really were to start with. I think they all should have been cyclopean spider people.

God I love whores

This has always been the weirdest rationalization because at no point did they stop producing product with the mk7 helmet design. This was their thought process for space marines, but they weren't worried for the actual army of black and red fallen knights?

Cant get worse than the last one. In case you need a reminder. It was a MOBA

that's not it at all
they made primaris because they couldn't copyright "space marine"
just like they couldn't copyright imperial guard, so now they're astra militarium
dark eldar are now drukhari
eldar are now aeldari
etc

as long as its got base building instead of being a dogshit moba

relic

2025

lmao
dead studio walking. the bioware of RTS space.

Because they lost a lawsuit against a 3rd party bits company that was making all the parts that weren't included as options in their kits. It could've been an easily solvable problem if they just released a competitive choice. No, GW went full Disney and tried to sue the smaller company into bankruptcy but it failed because all the things they claimed were theirs were too generic to hold a copyright on.

It's wild to think Relic were allowed to just make up shit for DoW 1 and 2
Good luck seeing anything that isn't an exact copy of some sort of tabletop model in 4 if it ever exists

Not really. They just sort of petered out

Place your bets:

Extraction shooter

Battle royale

Whatever live service slop is popular now

We already know it wont be a RTS

I'd prefer either of those over a moba

EC was their one chance to do womarines and have it work and they pussied out
But at least that probably means they will never actually do it

How would a battle royale work in 40k? Dark eldar arena? A loop made by Trazyn? Orks just duking it out?

That'd be fucking stupid.

That'd be fucking cool

It would've put all that tranny shit as unironically evil, and given you can't show a tranny in a negative light at all...that just wasn't going to happen. Even though the EC would be the exact legion to try that shit just for kicks.

If you have any trust in lelic after what they did to DoW and CoH, you are fucked in the head.

Yeah, i know gw is retarded and doing its hardest to appeal to normies, but the canonical rapist hedonists being the one army with female space marines wouldn't be a good look

They just sort of petered out

yeah, by their CEO and main designer/director leaving and them pumping out 5 shit games in a row after CoH1

trannies already like slaanesh though
GW is just out of touch and isn't willing to take risks to give people what they want

CoH3 is good and DoW3 was made by devs that are long gone. I'll give them 1 more chance

Trannies like Tau, Eldar and Dark Eldar. ECbros are alright.

gronmon

Can they still muster a cool trailer at least? I don't have much hope for the game itself.

No Last Stand, no buy

I just want DoW 2 terrain and building destruction with DoW 1 style base building

Please just make Dawn of War 2, 2.

GW has been a pile of shit for the last 20 years and it all boy gets worse. 40k was best in RT/2nd Ed when you scimmed through part of the rule book at your friends house and read articles in the White Dwarf magazines you bought sporadically with your pocket money.

old 40k

shit's fucked, stagnation is the norm at best and declining at worst and everybody does bad things in a misguided attempt at safeguarding themselves above all else against threats within and without, make your own personal stories and find meaning in those

nu 40k

technology and advancements, there are clear cut good guys who sometimes do an oopsie but its ok they'll always win in the end thanks to the Aveng- I mean Primarchs, your guys don't matter anymore, only the Marvel tier main characters do because this is a story now, not a setting

I don't have faith in a DoW4 even being as "good" as 3 was.

Modern 30k/40k Primaris/Primarch wank is Marvel tier capeshittery with added bonus corporate inclusivity.

I don't see any fucking going on in that.

It heavily implies fucking is or was going on.

Ugh…

Imagine a starting roster with the Astra Militarum but no Space Marines

It'd never happen but it's nice to dream

Astra Militarum

Miss me with the corpo safe renamed shit. IN THIS HOUSE OLLANIUS PIUS WAS A HERO OF THE IMPERIAL GUARD END OF DISCUSSION.

Astra Militarum

Orkz duking it out

it'd fit them perfectly and be the only time I'd ever play a BR, imagine picking a techboy grabbing random shit and making extra killy mecha arms or extra speedy mecha legs to chase players around with

Dow1 had base building and is the most popular game.

you're worse than a cop, you're a british cop

All of the above.

They made Age of Empires 4 and that game is dope as fuck and very under rated.
The problem Relic had was being owned by Sega. Relic bought them selves back out. They have also greatly improved COH3 from being a complete train wreck.
Overall Relic has potential again but everything now rides on DOW4 being good. It needs to be like DOW1.

all the builder units in the base game are among the best in the genre I love that lil cultist guy and the gretchin like you wouldn't believe

git.png - 510x546, 83.5K

Because has a Marine ever ripped off a Hydralisk's head with his bare hands?

Insecurity and obsession, unironically. SCfags are nonexistent at this point.

The IG enginseer is peak Admech in my eyes. Mechanicus did their own thing well but that dude was operating on a whole other level. Same with whoever decided to give the Kroot units all those bird noises between clicks.

Too little, too late.

Sex with Chaos-chan

all the WA voices are pure fuckin gold, the guard is perfect from top to bottom

After DOW3? I don't think so.

stupid cat
