Post it on the appropriated section please:I think in the 10 seconds you took reading the op you didn't really understand the purpose of this thread, yes Warhammer 40k had video game adaptions, but it is more then that discussions could range from modelling/painting, lore/40kuniverse, getting into the hobby and peoples experiences with 40k etc. Just because StarTrek online exists do you think startrek in it entirety belongs on that board, No.

Huge fan of the Death Korp of Krieg.
However, I still prefer the standard Cadian Infantry to any Death Korp.
Huge Dawn of War Plat+Soulstorm player, Imperial Guard being my favorite there. (No way to guess that, or anything ;))
Speaking of, I really wish they had Death Korp of Krieg in that! Might give the Imperial Guard some early viability in melee.
But this thread is about the universe as a whole, correct? If so, for Chaos, perhaps at Khorne and Slaanesh aswell?
For the greater good!

Tau should totally be on that poll....

I really want to get into the 40k universe... I know the basic lore and it sounds awesome. Any recommended jumping off point(s)? ;D
Now to face the facts! To all you StarShip troopers lovers!Starship Troopers was published in 1959. If anything, the description of the troopers in the book influenced the design and concept of Space Marines. For the movie however... I can see the Imperial Guard reference: thousands of nameless soldiers lightly armed and armored charging into certain death.(https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.memegenerator.net%2Finstances%2F250x250%2F26425939.jpg&hash=f7c109cdaf0cbbcbf432c5572c5a225f159d8647)

If you do not have any purcahsed Codex's, (Cost 100 or less USD, 800 here) I would recommend studying it here http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Main_Page#.UQttVR13ZRo
I have never heard of Warhammer 40k. So yeah just to let u know and also..well..thats it. :o ???
Got Space Marine for PS3 earlier. I haven't played so much PS3 in about a year.
But cover is for the weak.Got Space Marine for PS3 earlier. I haven't played so much PS3 in about a year.
Good Game. But it makes Imperial Guardsmen seem extremely weak and fragile.
Anything on the origins of the Chaos Gods? Anything?
Also, so far we've seen Fire Warrior, and Space Marine. It's time to play the average joe. I WANT A WARHAMMER 40K: IMPERIAL GUARDSMAN GAME!
Too bad the image is broken.
Gross! Death Korp of Krieg!
I'm drowning in the mainstream!SpoilerHowever, nice photoshopping.[close]
Ah, was but a quick assumption. I can see some of the differences in armor now.
Nice picture above, as well. Makes me have some respect for the Space Marines. some.
EDIT: Wow. 5th Chaos God? http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Malice_(Chaos_God)
Obliterator Plague, is just, what the fuck? You generate ammo?
Reminds me of most of my Soulstorm Comp Stomps.
EDIT: Anyone else having trouble connecting to The Lexicanum? I'm unable to connect.
Aye, it started working for me later that day. My lawd, I'm in love with reading about Chaos. Some of the stuff is so grim, so dark. It's a great read.
He is getting tainted!Windbusche should learn from Horus Lupercal, to never allow the taint of Chaos to take hold.

Thunda, something tells me you're part of Ordo Hydra. I say we burn you alive, just in case.
Also, nice video. :P
Sorry for double post but anyone else heard that the Squats are making a return in codex edition 6? I saw them being listed under the Imperium's Humanoid species (Or something like that)Wiki says so... it must be true!
The Death Korps of Krieg. I am sure many of you love these true Warriors

(Krieg means "War" In German)
Recruitment & Training
By order of the High Lords of Terra Krieg's sole purpose is to produce new regiments for the meat grinder, and its tithes are the maximum possible for the planet's population, supplying over fifty million men per year. This includes the use of unusual methods such as "Vitae Womb" birthing techniques, a practice seen as dangerous and abhorrent by the Adeptus Mechanicus' Magos Biologis but tolerated by the Departmento Munitorium, while others such as a eugenics program to weed out mutants is simply a continuation of policy from the civil war years.
Recruitment starts almost from birth, and the ability to withstand the hardships of living on an atomic-blasted world is enhanced further with brutal training designed to quickly weed out the weak and unworthy. Mental conditioning is a key part of a Krieg recruit's training, their minds purposefully broken and remade stronger, and absolute faith in the Emperor is installed at an early age, amplifying preexisting cultural norms regarding honour and self-sacrifice to create what the Ecclesiarchy calls a "cult of sacrifice." It also emphasis their role as an element in the greater picture, a pebble in the avalanche which will crush the enemies of the Emperor; as an individual they do not matter, which is why medals and other awards are unheard-of in Krieg regiments, especially since bravery and heroism is to be expected. Rates of injury and fatality during training are high, and as a final test all recruits are forced to endure the surface of Krieg itself, performing maneuvers and fighting mock battles amidst the nuclear-blasted battlefields that cover their world. Only those who survive this final phase of training become members of the Death Korps.
The resulting Guardsman is a highly disciplined and self-sufficient soldier, proficient in all basic Imperial Guard weaponry types, with exemplary hand-to-hand skills and expertise in the construction of trench works. Accuracy is desirable but ultimately secondary to the importance of the fire discipline and the ability to maintain continuous fire en mass as part of a larger formation. In particular the Krieg Guardsman is well-versed in hazardous environment survival and exhibits high levels of endurance both mentally and physically. He is also given a numerical designation, such as 769355-637566-Keled or 566-648-87991-72-Draeta, so that his death can be more easily tallied. His near-fanatical devotion to becoming a martyr for the Emperor does lead to a few issues off the battlefield, with a tendency towards insularity and a high degree of fatalism which expresses itself in ways non-Krieg persons can find unsettling, such as refusing to take off his rebreather even when not in combat.
As opposed to other worlds with an aristocratic military tradition, Krieg officers are drawn from the rank and file, achieving promotion through skill, seniority, and in many cases simple survival. If selected during basic training potential officers must complete an additional training course, with most of those being selected having already been chosen for Death Rider duty. In the field new officers are promoted from the ranks, typically having served as Watchmasters or within Death Rider squadrons. Officers right up to the regimental level typically fight on the front lines and equip themselves as such, an expression of the Krieg mentality that all Guardsmen must fight and die for the Emperor. Also in keeping with this mentality, these officers regard their men in the same way other commanders regard ammunition, something which has caused problems in cases where non-Krieg units are placed under the command of Krieg officers.
THEY ARE! ;DGot Space Marine for PS3 earlier. I haven't played so much PS3 in about a year.
Good Game. But it makes Imperial Guardsmen seem extremely weak and fragile.

I'm thinking can you commit suicide with a Power Hammer? i.e. placing your head on an anvil and with your arm smashing it down?
I used to be a massive fan of Ultramarines (-.-'), until I discovered Hive Fleet Behemoth and Necrons; now I play Tyranids/Necrons, just because I don't wanna be no mainstream hipstah yo.

Nothing is more main stream than Ultrasmurfs!
That's why I said I used to be a fan. ::)
Imperial Guards are the drive to victory
Anyone got any good links for the history of the Tau? I read about the invasion of Gorgon, their civil war, their conquests and meeting of the Kroots, so on.
I'd prefer Military History, if at all possible, but I'm fine with whatever.
Titanium Wars and Ultimate Apocalypse are all great mods.Thanks!
But be sure to read the installation guide for UA before installing, it's more complicated than it looks.
Any news on Dawn of War 3?
I hope it goes back to Dawn of War base building I did not like the fixed baseAny news on Dawn of War 3?
I heard that Sega is now going to make it since THQ gone bankrupt and they purchased THQ + Relic (I think) . Lets hope its good.

All we need:
Base Building
Infinite Pop cap
No extremely under powered guardsmen who take 5 damage from bolter and die.
Make Baneblade more powerful, in DoW II they were just a disgrace.
Give us TAU!
Give us Necrons!
Realistic Guard squads, 30 minimum per squad if you want to keep the underpowered guard.
No more of that cover crap.
Remove that Company of Heroes crap.
More varaints of each race/ faction. I do not want all regiments to be based off Cadian war gear. I want Tallarn, Krieg, Vostroyan, Morodian, etc.
Customize every unit.
Yes but, the point is Warhammer battles included Thousands if not millions of troops, battling it out with constant reinforcements.Yeah you are right maybe different pop caps for different armies?
DoW I had the ability to provide us that.
DoW II? Ya I really think an army of 50 guardsmen is sufficient to take out a chaos warband ::)
My god Nutty, YOU ARE A GENIOUS! ;D ;D ;DI deserve more then simple cookies I deserve cookies and milk! ;D
Give this gentleman a cookie.
Base Building
Agreed.
Infinite Pop cap
No. Within reason.
No extremely under powered guardsmen who take 5 damage from bolter and die.
They're OP as they are. Noob Tubes kick too much ass.
Make Baneblade more powerful, in DoW II they were just a disgrace.
Agreed.
Give us TAU!
Agreed.
Give us Necrons!
Agreed
Realistic Guard squads, 30 minimum per squad if you want to keep the underpowered guard.
You're kidding, I hope. The Guard is rediculous.
No more of that cover crap.
Agreed. Or, if they do implement cover, make it like a garrisonable building so the AI isn't retarded and spread out everywhere.
Remove that Company of Heroes crap.
Agreed. DoW2 was a mod for CoH. Pretty much, anyway.
More varaints of each race/ faction. I do not want all regiments to be based off Cadian war gear. I want Tallarn, Krieg, Vostroyan, Morodian, etc.
I guess. This would be mainly for the Imperium, as I can't see Tyranids with base differences from each other as far as aesthetics.
Customize every unit.
I disagree with this, quite a bit. Within reason, MAYBE. But you could have multiple legionnaires from various Chaos Warbands, I dunno...

I play on the hardest difficulty.(https://i.imgur.com/Oo1Hq.png?1)
Meh. Not that hard. AI sucks anyway. They're good in MP too, both DoW1 and DoW2.

Sources.No concrete sources just something I picked up on I guess, I just THINK that it has been cancelled
Well I did read that the community manager at THQ got a new provider of money or something... So perhaps it lives on?We can only hope
Are there people here who play the tabletop board game?
