Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/...w_6097578.html
The game looks and sounds really good, but I'm worried that the game won't have a storyline. Does anybody know how well Relic does with storylines for its games?

It looks very interesting to me, I have played Homeworld pretty much all the way through and I though the plot was pretty nicley done. I know only a little about WH 40K but I do rather like the Tau and I am sad that you will not be able to play as them. Anyways, the game looks good to me and I would like to give it a try.

I was hoping the Tyranids and the Necrons would be in the game, but I guess you can't have everything. Maybe they'll be in an expansion:D

Dont worry about storyline dude, when it comes to in depth background and storylines the guys from Gamesworkshop have that covered almost better than anything I can think of. Warhammer and Warhammer 40K have been around for many years and I actually used to buy the books to read from them as I wasnt much of a model collecter heh. Think the game will just need to rely on its Devs ability to create good gameplay and gfx.

I hope your right; the last couple of Warhammer games I've played haven't been that good.

You'll have to download it, the online version doesn't seem to work.

GW has some awesome content indeed. I got into WH40K when Rogue Trader was still kicking around, but a couple of years ago my playing (of the table top game) pretty much stopped after I got out of college. Just took too much time to collect, paint and actually play. I didn't really enjoy the painting aspect either.
I had a pretty big Space Wolf army and a decent sized Khorne army. I even wrote up a PC/Palm program for managing the lists, etc. ( http://forge.thedigitalfoundry.com). 8)
While their table top games are awesome the computer games that have been based on them have completely sucked. I blame the development companies, but you would think GW would have nagged them a bit on the quality assurance side of things.
None the less I made myself play all the "GW" games, even back to the original Space Hulk for DOS. I have high hopes for this new one though as the developer is a good one, but we will see. What GW should do is make their table top game into a PC game and they would make a killing, especially with add on sales where they could add the races in expansion packs or something. The problem is I think they are scared if they do that more of the table top players will dissapear, which is very possible. :no:
Also, they are working on a Warhammer MMO in case you guys didn't know.

Since playing AO I alway said I would never play another mmorpg but I could almost make an exception for Warhammer just for the old memories of playing the tabletop game as a kid like many here.
SS of the Warhammer mmorpg don't look great :/ They did have some realy great artists that did most of thier work in the early days, gave it a real gothic feel in place, that seems to be missing from the mmorpg.
