Dawn Of War (Warhammer 40,000 RTS)

[lawastooshort]

I've slipped and bought the master collection.

[DaigaroOgami]

I have both games, but no expansions.

I am very cheap and therefore would find it difficult to shell out for them... but if I get chance to give the single player another go and I can get the hang of it I may be swayed...

[DaigaroOgami]

Argh.

But I could play Tau if I did buy it... bouncy bouncy (oooo such a good time) mechs...

I've slipped and bought the master collection.

Me too - the last of my Xmas money

Since it seems some people have it I will try & get it on steam too, I think I have to contact the publishers to convert my CD/DVD copy into a steam copy.

Dunno. For Dawn of War 2, I only had to put in the code off the CD box and it was registered in Steam (same for Blood Bowl and Bioshock Infinite for that matter) Which is a good thing, as the DVD drive on my PC is pretty knackered.

It accepts Dow CD Retail keys in this format Dawn of War Keys in this format: BCD-1EFG-HIJK-2LMN apparently

The first one is vastly more fun in my opinion and if you get all the expansions you can play as any race in 40k

[DaigaroOgami]

Well I hope you're all happy because I caved to peer pressure and bought it.

That's nearly 3 pints of Bathams LESS this month now too. argh.

[Gandalf]

Given it's catch-up week perhaps we can try for a game on Sunday?

[Moose]

Well I'm up for a game whenever prety free this week

[id3nt1ty]

It turns out I had a different 40k game.

Now I have the Master Collection too.

[Raveen]

Argh.

But I could play Tau if I did buy it... bouncy bouncy (oooo such a good time) mechs...

What the bloody hell is a Tau?

I presume that I could play as squats?..

[notjarvis]

haha.

Squats. Blimey I remember them>

Tau was a robot race wasn't it. I dimly remembering them being new, as about the last time I actually played 40k on a table top...

[Raveen]

Is my old school showing?

[notjarvis]

lol.

I played 2nd Edition 40k and Squats had been almost entirely excised from history by that point already :-)

I enjoyed playing Orks due to the variety of the units, and the potential for comedy.
Bored me when they created about a 1000 different Codexes for different versions of the Human/Space Marine army, felt like they got the vast majority of the designer love and storyline interest.

Never played any of the later editions though.


Anyone ever play Necromunda? I loved that game.....

[Raveen]

I played 2nd Ed epic which still had Squats hanging on although I never had them. My favourite game apart from bb was Space Hulk despite it being so derivative of Alien.

[Moose]

I see, am I the only person currently playing 40k, also you guys will probably not recognise necrons anymore they look a bit different
