Gah, you were quicker, FFFFFFFUUUUUUU!

On a more serious note, so far it looks good. Only if it wasn't "just another Cadian-looking regiment". Sigh....

Muhahahahahhaha... you can blame having to get up early to go on a road trip...

So, the other race packs (if you don't have CE) will be available as DLC. Yes, they grant you only a few pieces of wargear to SP campaign, but anyways. Also Tyranid race pack is THQ store only (maybe only until launch, that would make some sense).
I can preorder it in some local retail e-shop, but there is not a single word about which versions will be available (but I doubt they will have CE).

I'll be waiting for a price drop anyway... and then there are always modders to give us this stuff...

STOP BUYING DLC ALREADY PPL!

Since we are talking about unlocking purchasable DLC, only place where you will find such unlocks will be warez forums (unless you will do it by yourself). On official or community sites such "unlock" would probably lead to instant banhammer.

Yeah, that's gonna be a problem...

But damn, the relic news forum is rather lock/ban happy isn't it... and ever since Relic got back to having it's own forums it's rather useless most of the time for them to be that uptight...

Well yes, they are, however I bet topic like "where can I download Heroes 3 for free" here on CH won't be met with joy either.

EDIT: also Relic employees sometimes post there (Ruined and I think Thunder or how he is called too), so that's probably why.

CH never removed leaked pictures or video's... heck, Kalah himself just added the leaked Naga pictures...

And back during H5's development some Ubi people posted here too...

Well, I can understand removing magazine scans. On the other hand, maybe Relic/THQ members demanded such acting from mods/admins, who knows?

Btw a few new pics including IG sentinels and troops with Commissars:

And one of Eliphas in SP with the new skill tree... nice.

But what's that sign that Kain has... Eliphas has Undivided, Neroth has Tzeentch and Varius has Nurgle... and that doesn't look Khornate at all... but it's not Slaneeshi either.

EDIT: It's a pre-heresy Sons of Horus (Black Legion) badge! Interesting.

January seems to be "leaked before" month for both Ubi and TQH...

Too bad the Sorceror is Tzeentch only... would have been nice to see some Nurgle and Slaanesh spells for him too...

EDIT: Noise Marines are Tier 1?! Damn...

klaymen · Unread postby **klaymen** » 14 Jan 2011, 09:36

Nurgle's/Slaanesh's sorceror would be nice, however I think he would have 3 mutually exclusive paths (= 1 for each god) lest you could take a few spells from Slaanesh, then get that good one from Nurgle, etc., so he would be still dedicated to one particular god.

ThunderTitan · Unread postby **ThunderTitan** » 14 Jan 2011, 14:09

Nah, what they should have done is allow him to choose one god for some sort of bonus and access to the last skills from the god's tree while not being able to have any spells from the other gods or let him be undivided and be able to use spells from every god but unable to use the ultimate spells, maybe with some undivided bonus...

IGN preview video: http://uk.ign.com/videos/2011/01/19/daw ... eo-preview

Looks awesome.

klaymen · Unread postby **klaymen** » 21 Jan 2011, 13:54

Awesome, indeed.
Imperial general in TLS along with the new map, Catachans, new Army Painter, yay!

Also, what is the third Commander item at 1:17?
Looks like a gas mask and that might suggest something like Armageddon Steel Legion, Death Korps of Krieg or maybe Elysian Drop Troops summon, or is it just Stormtrooper?

ThunderTitan · Unread postby **ThunderTitan** » 21 Jan 2011, 14:03

Someone has been out of the loop lately... those are Storm Troopers.

See everything at the official site: http://www.dawnofwar2.com/us/retribution/campaign http://www.dawnofwar2.com/us/retributio ... erialguard

You know, for a moment there i thought that i made a mistake not posting these straight from work, and that you scooped me... guess not.

Oh, so their DoW2 site is already up?

Baww, I was hoping for some cooler IG models. Nevermind then....

ThunderTitan · Unread postby **ThunderTitan** » 21 Jan 2011, 15:08

Yeah, for some reason the new IG portraits are a somewhat inferior to the ones of the previous armies... those Storm Troopers could use more detail to make them look less cartoony...

But the graphics seems as good as ever: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/multi ... war/709515 (ok, bolter instead of bolt g pistol on General looks weird)

There, fixed it for you.

Compared to these, it looks very weird.
Also the artworks from IG codex look much better.

However I agree, some portraits are really weird.
