Once I finally get it I look forward to playing through the singleplayer of all those expansions I missed, then getting to multiplayer and getting trounced just as I used to before I learned how to win in the original game... DoW is the first RTS I ever really got into, because the unit AI is reasonably good, the objectives make sense, etc. etc. About the MMO: I liked the look of Mythic's Imperator before it got canceled just because it looked to be a 40K ripoff. If only there were preview screens and some idea of how the 40K MMO will play, I would buy into the idea immediately. Something about the grim-and-gritty science fiction/dark fantasy feeling of 40K, makes it the 'ultimate adult adventure'... heh. Somehow fighting plague and decay on a thousand worlds seems more adult than bare breasts in a Conan MMO.

Checking up on the GW website, I see they haven't gotten anything new since their Codex was released immediately after the Third Edition rules. In that timespan there have been several new complete armies released, a steady stream of additional units for older factions, and for God's sake even more Tau models. There is clearly some sort of bias at work here. I have to admit I'm tickled pink that the Dark Eldar color scheme they're showing off is the Black Heart Kabal, same as my old tacklebox. And is that Asdrubael Vect I spy about halfway in?

Absent, alas, Tyranids. Hopefully in Dawn of War 2. I still crave turn-based more-or-less-original-rules 40K games, though. Preferably involving more factions than just the Space Marines and antagonist of choice. (Chaos or Ork seeming to be the preferred options.) Squad Command looks hot, but falls into the aforementioned Space Marines + antagonist of choice trap. Probably won't even let you play Chaos in the campaign.

I'm allways typing faster than I'm thinking.. Or was it the other way round? Anyway... I just remembered this nifty little site called Youtube, where kids upload all kind of movies and Lo and Behold! all the cheesy cutscenes are here for you to watch. Like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMXmLbyPeNw Nazis in Space! Hooray! Though I've allways thought, that Space Marines were a bit bigger. I guess they had problems finding 7' tall genetically engineered super humans to play the role of Space Marine Commander for this clip.. Damn.. I’m allways typing faster than I’m thinking..
