Evil Eye Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 IT'S HAPPENING So, uh, yeah. To say I am hyped is an understatement. I only see Spess Mehrens, Orks and Eldar thus far, but knowing Relic we're bound to get some of the other races in expansions. So who else is ready to sacrifice their wallets to Relic?

Doctor Perils Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I didn't get the whole "it's raining over-men!" but it's still pretty cool :) Do we know yet if it's going to be skirmish-level, or big-battles level ? I'd love it if there were some grand-strategy level, but I'm not getting my hopes up too much for that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think its more of a metaphor, that whole video is laced with them and seems to be a statement on the endless war and death of the 41st millennium.

Combat_Vet Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I took the "raining men" to be a nod to tyranid bio-mass consumption pools. The crater walls around the area where the "rain was" could be a further hint. Though I could be way off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 As long as they don't go back to DOW1 style base building I'll be there day one. Afaik, it'll echo DOW1 more so than DOW2 - though they will be keeping aspects of both. I took the "raining men" to be a nod to tyranid bio-mass consumption pools. The crater walls around the area where the "rain was" could be a further hint. Though I could be way off. To me, the whole trailer was a dream sequence. The whole thing is metaphorical, including the dead bodies raining from the sky. To me, I believe it represents slaughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Perils Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Hum, it's just that it seems a very clumsy attempt. If you want a metaphor, you could make it a bit more criptic then: "it's raining bodies", and it's not like they've ever shied away from depictions of violence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Cryptic is all well and good for the likes of us, brother. We know what's going on. But for the uninitiated? It's quite an apt metaphor. Dawn of War has been a major resource for the hobby in general - countless times I have greeted new members who've told the tale of cutting their teeth on that franchise. Bodies raining from the sky sums up matters fairly succinctly, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Eremon Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Dawn of War was my introduction to 40k, for certain. As stated, it had a very nice, metaphorical, dreamlike quality to it. Like it was less a scene in the actual universe, but a grimmed-up Wreck-it Ralph look into what it's like to be a unit in a Dawn of War game. It was very pretty and had a lot of great moments (++engine kill++), and while I'd prefer the DOW II Space Marine proportions, it didn't detract from the video at all for me.

Chapter Master Valrak Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I got the magazine a couple of days ago and I'm more or less convinced that Necrons are going to be the main threat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYvgk6JVsNM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
