Warhammer Dawn of War 3 - DAMNATIO MEMORIAE

Here's hoping for an unlikely necron return - loved them slow bastards back in the day

Part of me wants Necrons, but at the same time I dislike the "Newcrons," which basically are Tomb Kings/Space Egyptians. I thought the Dark Crusade Necrons were great though.

What you don't like Necrons and Space Marines working together and respecting one another and then deciding on a truce? What is wrong with you. That's the best part about the Newcrons.

I realize that the Necrons overlapped with Tyranids for being soulless killing machines that erase all life, but what made them unique to me was the C'tan and being leftover weapons from a prior war. Of all the changes GW could have made, it had to be the one that makes them Reasonablecrons.

Thanks Doc.

I hope those crazy colors mean that we will get an army painting tool in the game. A much more robust one that the one in DoW 1. Like picking kolors for individuals sets of parts. Arms-pads, weapons, helmets, armors, boots etc.

Hard to say. They're dire avengers, so their armour is meant to be blueish. And we're getting the farseer from DoW 1 who was biel-Tan (green+white armor) which accounts for the green highlights.
We're *probably* getting some kind of army painter DLC at some point this being SEGA. (Just like Chaos will obviously be day 1 DLC). But the screenshot palette is just regular, canon eldar faggotry.

Are SM legs supposed to be that skinny?

Leg days are the first things to skip when Emperor calls.

At last! The wait is alsmot over. I hope Sega will be more reasonable with DLC than they were with CoH2.

From what I can recall, Biel-tan have usually been green with white elements although that depends on the medium we're talking about.

Dire Avengers have blue armour and white helmets, at least according to the wiki: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Dire_Avenger

Old Necrons were Terminator with a good amount of almost.... lovecraft-lite horror. Forgotten machines built by ancients Gods by enslaving an alien race, bent on eradicating all life, what's there not to love? A competent writer could have done great things. And of course, less stuff we knew better we could fill the place by ourselves.

New Necrons are like all new GW's fluff, mostly stupid. And if not stupid, bland. Dark Crusade had a great, if simple, set-up, with the Pariah guy narrating, and a proof that you could give a smug personality even to soulless machines. Who could have guessed? But nooo, we need zany and retconned Dynasties in Speesh.

Whatevs.

Trailer looks like someone played too much Dark Souls. Don't know why. Space Marines look skinny and out of proportion (compare them with the intro of DoW1&2). Maybe they got a less competent studio handling the cinematics.

Whatevs.

Graphics look like DoW2 with DoW1 unit sizes. Could be interesting, but if it has the CoH2 "DLC EVERYTHING; BATTEL BROTHAZ" model it will be a disgrace and an abortion of a game.

Whatevs.

The trailer really threw me off, DoW 1 and DoW 2 had overall better cinematics, both in direction and in visuals themselves.

Female narrator felt odd too, but I guess that was the eldar farseer speaking?

DoW 1 trailer was shit and it made no sense. Why leave your perfect entrenchment to randomly die in open field?

Terrain's been under-utilized in DoW so far.

By the way, the music in the trailer is really awesome. I want it.

All this whine about 3 factions. FFS

Protos - check, terrans - check, zergs - check

have fun with your starcraft 2 clone

Starcraft was the one which bit off WH40K, so WH40K can never be a SC clone.

Because it is better to die for the Emperor than live for yourself?

Watch the trailer again. Orks were pounding them with mortars, that entrenchment was already compromised. And they only left their positions when they had fire support from a Dreadnought that disrupted enemy fire. Also Orks because of their nature are incapable of refusing a challenge so it was an easy way to force to leave their entrenchment. It was actually a decent way to take the hill from the Orks, rather than die to mortar fire and machine guns cowering under a chest high wall.

So despite my autism you are a dumbfuck.
