Dawn Of War (Warhammer 40,000 RTS)

[Moose]

Also Gandalf I belice I have a friendly scheduled with Avon on Sunday so can't do that evening and am away Saturday (so I guess I can't do any day after all) apologies but other than that am free most evenings this week

I remember squats!! The really cool kid who lived over the road had some.

And a Nippon Army for Warhammer. How dope would a Nippon BB team be eh?



YES PLEASE.

The Tau were/are all about the greater good, space hippies that just wanted everyone to get along with robots designed like manga mechs crossed with bunny rabbits. They were so ridiculous and out of place in 40k that I thought they were great.

I had a handful of models, played at least one skirmish game and even manged to paint at least two models.

What's a Necron (genuine question this time)?

Also Andon and Red Leader are 40k players, start a thread in the general forum for 40k chat or general GW chat (bitching .

Space Khemri

[Raveen]

That sounds dumb. Then again I was never keen on the fantasy Khemri, I preferred the lone necromancer raising an army and marching on the lands of the living.

[Raveen]

As for BB Nippon, Google Hoshi Komi

[Gandalf]

Ah the Necrons looks way cooler than Khemri though.

Also if you upgrade their base enough, their main structures basically turns into a slow moving death star!

[Raveen]

So they're Undead Terminators?

[lawastooshort]

I'd be more in favour of teaming up against AI rather than playing directly against others, if that changes things for you Rav.

How does that work then? I can't figure it out, myself. Keep pressing the wrong buttons, anyway.

[DaigaroOgami]

Installed all the add-ons?

[DaigaroOgami]

PS. I would like to sign Hoshie Komi for the Black Stars please.

Remind me chaps, which version of DoW are you buying into?

[DaigaroOgami]

The Master Edition of the first one with all the expansions.

Well, thats what I got; I think thats what everyone else got too...

although that says its full pice again now... try G2A?

[Gandalf]

Daigaro is correct. I was missing one of the Master Edition expansions, but I figured, £2.49 to make sure we all had the same one.... so I bought it.

I have sent my request off to Sega to get steam keys for my retail-bought copies.

How does that work then? I can't figure it out, myself. Keep pressing the wrong buttons, anyway.

Fairly straightforwards from memory? Just pick a 3v3 map, get 3 players to sign up and choose 3 AI's. Of course it may have changed since I last played it. The back end for online multiplayer was Gamespy (which was the impetus for moving it to Steam). There's definitely a skirmish mode, so you can play 3v3 with 2 AI's beside you, that was my usual game mode. I enjoyed the larger kill count & feeling of chaos. I would win 60%-70% of the time which was a nice balance between challenge/enjoying all the slaughter.

[lawastooshort]

Yes we figured it out eventually, thanks
