I have this idea too, and recently I have been thinking about this like a lot, because... no one knows what is the canon ending to the game, right? Well, this is my idea for a possible Dawn of War 3. There will be four factions (the expansions could add more): tau, tyranids, chaos space marines and the last one will be a combination of the space marines, the imperial guard and the sisters of battle (I know this sounds like heresy, but it feels very silly watching them fighting each other when they are supposed to represent the same nation; also, they are very similar, and that means boring); each one of the factions would have its own individual campaign, without mixings (I mean, there are no relations between their plots). So, the tyranid campaing would be about assaulting the Kaurava system at the end of the conflic. First of all, I will change a bit the things: only Kaurava II would be a jungle planet, Kaurava I would be a megapolis-world and Kaurava IV would be a frozen world (just to add diversity). So, this is what happens, from the begining to the end (I will change a lot of things since some of them feel very silly, like the Tau attacking at the beginign instead of waiting and attack when everyone is tired): the four worlds are supposed to be ruled by the Imperial Guard, but both Space Marines and Battle Sisters want the planets for them, so the political state of the Kaurava System is kinda weird because of this internal conflict, and the Imperial Guard wants both Space Marines and Battle Sisters to get out of their worlds; the big conflict starts with a Tau invasion, wich would be well recibed by the population since they are all tired of their weirdo political state; orcs tribes live in the jungles of Kaurava II, and when the conflict starts orcs from other planets came to join the conflict; also, the dark eldar came, like always, to loot; the conflict grows and, because some strong battles over Kaurava III, the necrons awake, and the eldars, who have keep an eye over that planet during centuries, came to fight the necrons. So, at this point, after everyone else is in the system, is when the warp storm appears, and the chaos space marines arrive. Because of the warp storm, no one can enter or get out of the system. So, the conflict develop: the necrons defeated the eldar, who retired to their craftworld, which would be orbiting Kaurava III, but both orcs and chaos space marines attack the planet; after defeating the Imperial Guard, the Battle Sisters, as the fanatics they are, decide to launch an exterminatus over the planet Kaurava III; only the forces of the chaos space marines survive, retrieting at time to Kaurava IV. The Space Marines then attack Kaurava I to stop the Battle Sisters before they declare exterminatus on more planets. They kill the leaders of the Battle Sisters and join forces with what is left of the Battle Sisters and the Imperial Guard, and they attack Kaurava IV. At the same time, the orcs, leaderless, fall into internal wars, and the tau take the opportunity to expand, conquering most of the surface of Kaurava II. The dark eldars see the opportunity too, going to Kaurava II to loot, but the tau fight them and kill their leader. Meanwhile, the chaos space marines attack Lacunae and defeated the dark eldars. So, the forces of the Imperium of Man (Space Marines + Battle Sisters + Imperial Guard) arrive at Kaurava IV an attack the fortress of chaos. Because of this, the warp storm disappears and the tyranids, who would have been waiting outside the system, now can enter in it. They start attacking Kaurava II, since its the one with more life, and they defeated the Tau, who run away back to their empire. When the Imperium forces realize of this, they run back to Kaurava I, allowing the forces of chaos to survive. The tyranids then attack Kaurava IV, and the remaining forces of chaos are forced to retreat to Kaurava III, where they gather forces and recover strenght. At this point, the craftworld of the eldar has left the system, the remaining orcs have been devoured by the tyranids, the remaining dark eldars have run back to Commorragh, the tau have also left the system, and the necrons have been destroyed after the exterminatus on Kaurava III (which, because of the exterminatus, is now like a volcanic world). The necrons who could have possibly survived to the exterminatus are now destroyed by the chaos space marines. So, now only three forces are left: tyranids (Kaurava II and IV), chaos (Kaurava III) and the Imperium (Kaurava I). The remaining forces of the Imperium decide to launch an exterminatus over Kaurava II while the tyranids are devouring Kaurava IV, destroying half of the tyranid forces. Because they only have arsenal for two exterminatus (which have been used on Kaurava III and II), now the Imperium has to fight. They go to Kaurava III to stop the tyranids before they can reach Kaurava I, and there the Imperium, the forces of chaos and the tyranids fight. Chaos is finally defeated and the tyranids conquer the world. The forces of the Imperium retreat to Kaurava I, where the final battle happens. The Imperium is finally defeated, and they are forced to retreat. The tyranids devour Kaurava I before the imperial reinforcements arrive, and then they abandon the system and move to another. So, at the end, the four planets have been destroyed.

Well the IG units fight for good reasons as well. The units in SS actually came from the planets that are under attack. They are defending their homes.
Out of all the races, each one has it own special way to fight their battles effectively. So, depending on which race you want that will determine which you are great with. Alien Factions: Tau, Eldar, Dark Eldar, Necron, or Orks. Human Factions: Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines, Sisters of Battle, or Imperial Guard. Which do you believe is the greatest faction to fight with?
Hmmm... do the colors in this game more bleak than in Dark Crusade. As the whole game much weaker than DC. I liked the dialogues between leaders during the siege of main city. Ehh....

There is long known knowledge that Relic/THQ has stated that the current DoW engine cannot work with the Tyranids, so they decided to use a later Engine. So in DoW 2 they will surely have the Tyranids Which will be amazing
Yes late but several mods worked a way to have the Nids in game and in campaign as well. So it was less of an engine limitation and more of a human ingenuity limitation.
The Blood Ravens have an unusually large number of Librarians among their forces, but they are still largely compromised of regular marines. The Chapters of the Space Marines do not pool resources except when co-operating during a campaign, and this includes witholding any information and/or artifacts stored within their individual Librariums, unless sharing these things are critical to the succes of the campaign.
The story sounds like a bad fanfiction "So there's this system with Guard on it.. and Orks too.. and Necrons but they don't know that. And then Chaos comes and yea it's cool but then oh no! The Space marines! And the Space Marines also attack the Guard for some reason. And the eldar hate necrons so yea. And Dark Eldar, hell, they can come too. Sisters of Battle want to kill everyone even Space Marines lol. Tyranids are scary so they're the only ones who can't come. Oh, and warp storm ftw."
In the early days of 40k, the planet Warhammer Fantasy takes place in was actually a part of the 40k galaxy, one of many human worlds isolated by Warp Storms. Sigmar was one of the two missing Primarchs as well. Nowadays however, I believe that they are officially two completely different universes. And as far as I know, 40k is based off this world. The Emperor was born in Anatolia, in modern day Turkey.
I must say your humping it through the campaign at a fanatical rate. True dedication thats what I like to see I need this game in my life lol oh whats your fav race in dow soulstorm?
Usually they don't. However, since they answer to different parts and a pangalactic Imperium is a bureaucratical nightmare, they aren't often coordinated very well. IIRC the Sisters are the military branch of one of the Inquisition orders, the IG are the army of the Imperium, and the Marines are an autonomous force within the Imperium. I've read that something like that may happen, but is quite rare.
and ours is don't leave until the planet is the emperors, so if we must fight our huge ass brothers, we will... necrons wake up because of the freaking violence, then the eldar come to destroy them. Chaos is freaking blood-drunk and noticing all the freaking "Chaos" (lol) they attack aswell... FOR THE GREATER GOOD
Well, it is the year 40,000 and the Emperor was born sometime in 8000 BC. There wasn't a Greece or Turkey as we know it, just a region. When Horus asked where he was born, the Emperor was probably just running through his memory, like, "What did they call that place again? Keeps changing every few millenniums, how am I supposed to remember... ah whatever... Anatoly!" At least that's how I interpret it.
again, the emperor can't talk, he was wounded when fighting his only son, Hanus or something like that, that went to Chaos, and the only thing keeping his SOUL alive is the chair his body is in or something like that
@Lucker1992 the sisters of battle thought that everything needed to be purged, even the imperial gaurd and space marines, when they got to kaurava as for imperial gaurd and space marines, i don't know.
In the end it comes down to paranoia and overwhelming fanaticism, and pride. Each side believes its way is the only way, and each side views each other as a threat. Sisters and Marines probably thought "Chaos here, they must be with it" and IG just wanted "To be better then Teched up Uber-Men/Women" (Even if sisters are not as uber-ed as SM.)
@TheWolfBearProject "The fact races have been taken out from GW's works" means, like Big brother would to tell, that they don't exist. The races aren't the same. They have similarities. The undead in Warhammer fantasy are the 40k Necrons. Necrons who have flesh are Necrontyr. they never had flesh before their "immortality." Yet the undead, who have flesh in the fantasy, play similarly to the Necrons in their metal casing.
well in the games they fight each other because they are ordered not to withdrawl from the planets, so if one such as the SM's advances to the imperial guard they will compliment each other briefly, then say sorry, but we can't leave, that's the orders, so you will have to kill us if you want this base... (this is what happened when i was SM's in dark crusade
The Warp Storm widens by being fed the sapient species' varied emotions The T'au species aren't receptive to the voices of the Chaos 4, and the Vior'la Sept has built a huge cannon seen on the vid, should it fired upon the Warp Storm at their volition.
LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR AND THE IMPERIUM! Yes you are correct. Not to mention, he created the Space Marines and advanced human technology to the point where they were able to compete with all the other races out there. If it wasn't for the Emperor, then all of humanity would fall under Chaos. Screw chaos.
@glenpiper11 Well, they didn't even figure out that there was a freaking C'tan god under Mars despite owning it for thousands upon thousands of years until the Necrons attacked it.
one thing i don't like about the dawn of war games is that they have the IG fight the space marines and in soulstorm the IG fight the space marines and the sisters of battle
@erestor629 Because the Tau sept in the campaign is the Falshia sept and its colors are red all the Tau septs are diferent the only army that is equal in al DoW is the SM with the Blood Ravens
No, they are different universe. While they appear to have similar characteristics, (both by Games Workshop)the undead aren't Necrons to the exact point. Orks don't side with Chaos. They always bicker (excluding Winter Assault) The Eldar,elves, don't side with the Imperium. (excluding Winter Assault and the Original Dawn of War, because both were temporary) The Imperium has many planets under its control. The Warhammer Fantasy occurs only at one planet. There are no dwarves in Warhammer 40k.
I'm currently playing as the Space Marines and so far I've eliminated the Orks and I'm at the central stronghold of the Alpha Legion (Chaos forces). Once they're dead, the Dark Eldar are next on my hit list. I also have a saved campaign where I play as the Orks. In that one, I've defeated the Space Marines and am at the central stronghold of the Tau in the saved game.
So the Orks, Eldar, and Necrons plots are recycled from Dark Crusade. The Tau decide to expand their borders by taking on 8 armies rather then just the Imperial Guard. The Sisters of Battle decide to go on a near suicide mission by picking a fight with the Space Marines, and the Dark Eldar decided to attack the area and assume that other armies won't notice them. The Chaos Space Marines appearing out of warp storm is actually something happens in the lore
i just realised something.kaurava 4 looks like mars right?and the void dragon is hidden on mars.necrons used to purge worlds that old ones made habitable.mars is suspected to have had life on it before but just as in the necron victory on kronus everything became sand and the air was thinned.and with different necron serving different c'tan it would mean that there are necrons worshiping dragon just as nightbringer and deceiver.so humanity has a huge army of sleeping robots in their backyard.
They said how everyone got involved except the Orks, oh well the Orks were gonna show up to a waaaagh no matter what so theres no reason to explain why they'd be there
yes, and if you wiki warhammer 40k's imperium, the capital planet is terra, then it has (Earth), i find it funny that the turks would keep the name Anatolia, since it is greek and the two countries are rivals...
In the codex necrons they show Mars, as well as in some other codex (i forget which one) they mention Earth. Isnt the Emporers body on Earth? So i assume it took place 39,000 years from now.
of course its before any Tyrannid arrival. If it would be after their arrival there would be nothing more to play a Game with (because the Tyrannids would have eaten everything) ;-)
Short version: Ages ago, shamans guided humanity. They always reincarnated. but soon, it was noticed that less and less were being reborn. This was because the Warp had become a nasty place. Soon, there would be none of these wise men to guide humanity, so they made a plan. 1000 shamans committed ritual suicide and theirs souls merged, forming a New Man, one who would not die. Thus, in ancient Anatolia, the Emperor of Mankind was born. Google 40K fluff for lore if you're interested.
can't wait to see what may that interplanetary gun can do, they should incorporate space battle in this also u knoe like homeworld, that wud be sweet Tau would own....... FOR THE GREATER GOOD!! :D
however, it is entirely possible in the universe of 40k, that a planet exists that has the fantasy realm on, maybe blocked of by a warp storm. You are forgetting the fact races have been taken out from GW's works. Such as first edition fantasy had a army called Fishmen/Menfish. Tht is wer the idea for tau came from.
I'll tell you this. The game doesn't suck. It could've been better if it wasn't for THQ & Relic pushing Ironlore (the guys responsible for Titan Quest) too much. Thus rather than ending the first Dawn of War saga with units like Chaos Dreds/Terminators, Vanguard/Sternguard, the rest of the Aspect Warriors/Wraithguard, we've got something that the fans didn't want in the game.
you dont need the other games to play but you need them to play as all 9 races in multipkayer or else you will only play as the sisters of battle and the dark eldar in multiplayer
It's said that the Emperor often guided humanity in the past, secretly in disguise. Many of the world's great leaders, historical figures, and messiahs were all actually the Emperor. So one of the possible implications is that the Emperor was Jesus. So, maybe when the Emperor revealed himself at last, he explained all this stuff. He himself was not big on religion & superstition, preferring science. I don't think there's a clear answer, but there's no mention of Christianity in 40k.
@superstrok99 And their set in entirly different universes....WH40K is "supposed" to be the "real" future in a way, while warhammer in totally unrelated and set in a different universe....
LOL. No I kinda like the narrator he's ok though could be better. However some of his narrators I really dig. It's all on personal preference I guess. I really like the narrator for the Eres Badlands.
Well, where was he born the first time? or is it mentioned? Because wasn't it noted that he was somewhat a "Reincarnation cycle" shaman or something along those lines? And didn't he seal himself off from the world at some point? Oh well, I just like Space Marines, Orks, and Nids. That might bias me a bit. Link me books if you can, to either prove me right or wrong, i just love reading the lore.
Can someone explain how can all the freaking races of WH40k attack the same system and why? And why would Adeptus Sororitas fight Adeptus Astartes and the Imperial guard and so on? This game made no freaking sense :D
Just their luck I guess, and the reason the imperium is fighting itself is because the SOB believe that the blood ravens and the imperial guard are corrupted and must be purged, while kyres ordered the blood ravens to purge all life on the planet to recover the relics without anyone knowing what they are while the guard are just defending themselves
inquistor darkheart Nope, pure bullshit. I get that is what they try to say to give some reason to it, but... SoB could not just go and purge a chapter. That is total bullshit. As for the Guard... they cannot do shit against the power of the space marines, so they would just let them take the relics and would help them with it as a Chapter Master is higher than a governor and you do not want to piss him off. And the rest... would never meet in one place. Dark Eldar? Why the fuck are they there? Normal Eldar can get there because of the necrons... The Chaos? Why? Where is this system anyway? Near the eye of terror? That would mean that Chaos could be there, but not the Tau... you just cannot put all races of the universe in one system. Does not work.
CZProtton I know it probably too late to answer this, but here we go. You are right that the conflict between the Imperial Forces is artificial and purely for the purpose that every faction has to fight any other. Which unfortunately undermines all three imperial forces fluff wise. The guard isn't suicidal to fought against space marines without any need. The sister are fanatic, but don't BURN simply everything, without explicit orders. And the Blood Ravens look like traitors which twice in a row right imperial forces in a great scheme. (prophetic perhaps?) The Dark eldar don't need special reason, since they are pirates and slave hunters, things which can work well in a big conflict. If you play the choas campaign to the end, it is revival that a single guardsmen was a secret psyker, which got seduce by the warp and did dark rituals to summon the Chaos Space Marines. Overall, SS is pretty terrible fluff wise. The most daring thing however are still the "100 newly produce Baneblades sent away to the front and NO Baneblade left to defend the fabric, which produce them".
It did make sense sorta if you consider all the problems with the Imperium. The Sisters did have orders to purge the system and everyone in it from the Inquisition and the Ecclesiarchy and the Guard actually was responsible for the warp storm due to a single guardsman summoning the chaos legion. Entire regiments have been purged because of individual guardsmen before so that's not very far fetched. As for the Blood Ravens, the reason they and the Sisters fought was more due to poor communication than real reasons. The Blood Ravens act almost independent of the other branches of the imperium and often act in secret and answer mostly to their own chapter leadership. It looks like they went to Kaurava without alerting the rest of the Imperium, so the Sisters arrived without knowing the Ravens were there and since the warp storm cuts off communications and reinforcements the Sisters could not receive new orders and it goes against their nature to rethink their original orders. the Ravens in turn probably did not know the Sisters were there either until it was too late. The different branches of the Imperium rarely coordinate properly and since everyone is brainwashed to follow orders without question if orders conflict it can lead to some very bloody misunderstandings. The Sisters technically have superior jurisdiction since they report to the Inquisition and the warp storm and deep presence of chaos makes it an inquisitorial matter, the Blood Ravens should not have even been in that system to begin with and even when they were stuck they should have simply retreated to their battle barge and hid until the storm was over while trying their best to stay out of the Sisters' way since they know the Sisters are crazy in their devotion and can't be expected to not interpret orders to the letter. As for the Guard both the Blood Ravens and Sisters had a very good reason to put them down since the Guard were officially marked as traitors and heretics. On Kronus the Blood Ravens were in the right, but in Kaurava they basically walked right into a Purge. A Space Marine Chapter can indeed be purged if it crosses the Inquisition and resisting the Sisters is considered interfering with the Ordo Hereticus. Space Marines are officially just as vulnerable to purges as the Guard, but unofficially it is not usually done because of how valuable the Marines are to the Imperium, but that doesn't matter because the Sisters don't consider unofficial rules or political stuff and exist only to purge. This is why the Adepta Sororitas and Astartes are often kept separate by the Imperium.
Day before: Everything fine.

I have this idea too, and recently I have been thinking about this like a lot, because... no one knows what is the canon ending to the game, right? Well, this is my idea for a possible Dawn of War 3. There will be four factions (the expansions could add more): tau, tyranids, chaos space marines and the last one will be a combination of the space marines, the imperial guard and the sisters of battle (I know this sounds like heresy, but it feels very silly watching them fighting each other when they are supposed to represent the same nation; also, they are very similar, and that means boring); each one of the factions would have its own individual campaign, without mixings (I mean, there are no relations between their plots).

The Blood Ravens have an unusually large number of Librarians among their forces, but they are still largely compromised of regular marines.
The Chapters of the Space Marines do not pool resources except when co-operating during a campaign, and this includes witholding any information and/or artifacts stored within their individual Librariums, unless sharing these things are critical to the succes of the campaign.
All praise unto Steam.
The story sounds like a bad fanfiction
"So there's this system with Guard on it.. and Orks too.. and Necrons but they don't know that.
And then Chaos comes and yea it's cool but then oh no!
The Space marines! And the Space Marines also attack the Guard for some reason.
And the eldar hate necrons so yea.
And Dark Eldar, hell, they can come too.
Sisters of Battle want to kill everyone even Space Marines lol.
Tyranids are scary so they're the only ones who can't come.
Oh, and warp storm ftw."
In the early days of 40k, the planet Warhammer Fantasy takes place in was actually a part of the 40k galaxy, one of many human worlds isolated by Warp Storms. Sigmar was one of the two missing Primarchs as well. Nowadays however, I believe that they are officially two completely different universes.
And as far as I know, 40k is based off this world. The Emperor was born in Anatolia, in modern day Turkey.
I must say your humping it through the campaign at a fanatical rate. True dedication thats what I like to see I need this game in my life lol oh whats your fav race in dow soulstorm?
i love how the narator says space marines :P
Usually they don't. However, since they answer to different parts and a pangalactic Imperium is a bureaucratical nightmare, they aren't often coordinated very well. IIRC the Sisters are the military branch of one of the Inquisition orders, the IG are the army of the Imperium, and the Marines are an autonomous force within the Imperium. I've read that something like that may happen, but is quite rare.
and ours is don't leave until the planet is the emperors, so if we must fight our huge ass brothers, we will... necrons wake up because of the freaking violence, then the eldar come to destroy them. Chaos is freaking blood-drunk and noticing all the freaking "Chaos" (lol) they attack aswell... FOR THE GREATER GOOD
I really want to get this game. The campaign intro is definetely longer than the dark crusade campaign intro.
Well, it is the year 40,000 and the Emperor was born sometime in 8000 BC. There wasn't a Greece or Turkey as we know it, just a region. When Horus asked where he was born, the Emperor was probably just running through his memory, like, "What did they call that place again? Keeps changing every few millenniums, how am I supposed to remember... ah whatever... Anatoly!"
At least that's how I interpret it.
again, the emperor can't talk, he was wounded when fighting his only son, Hanus or something like that, that went to Chaos, and the only thing keeping his SOUL alive is the chair his body is in or something like that
Imperial Guard won the Kaurava Conflict. (Cannon)
Well not anymore... still canon to me.
The orks won and it's canon look it up abdul
No it didn't lol
@@narxes Yeah that was posted 7 years ago before they retconned it with the heretical joke that was DoW 3
@@nildzrecastellanos "DoW 3" is neither DoW nor canon so no worries its still canon that Vance MotherFucking Stubbs won.
We need more Sisters of Battle
@Lucker1992 the sisters of battle thought that everything needed to be purged, even the imperial gaurd and space marines, when they got to kaurava
as for imperial gaurd and space marines, i don't know.
In the end it comes down to paranoia and overwhelming fanaticism, and pride.
Each side believes its way is the only way, and each side views each other as a threat.
Sisters and Marines probably thought "Chaos here, they must be with it" and IG just wanted "To be better then Teched up Uber-Men/Women" (Even if sisters are not as uber-ed as SM.)
@TheWolfBearProject "The fact races have been taken out from GW's works" means, like Big brother would to tell, that they don't exist. The races aren't the same. They have similarities. The undead in Warhammer fantasy are the 40k Necrons. Necrons who have flesh are Necrontyr. they never had flesh before their "immortality." Yet the undead, who have flesh in the fantasy, play similarly to the Necrons in their metal casing.
Not to forget the Weirdboyz for Orks or the Valkyrie for the Guardsmen.
I missed this
1:50 KEEP FIRING KEEP FIRING
well in the games they fight each other because they are ordered not to withdrawl from the planets, so if one such as the SM's advances to the imperial guard they will compliment each other briefly, then say sorry, but we can't leave, that's the orders, so you will have to kill us if you want this base... (this is what happened when i was SM's in dark crusade
any body know who the narrator is me and my friend have been looking for him for ages!!!!
"The Tau came seeking to contain the warp storm"
HOW?!
The Warp Storm widens by being fed the sapient species' varied emotions
The T'au species aren't receptive to the voices of the Chaos 4, and the Vior'la Sept has built a huge cannon seen on the vid, should it fired upon the Warp Storm at their volition.
Squats Rule!!!
LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR AND THE IMPERIUM!
Yes you are correct. Not to mention, he created the Space Marines and advanced human technology to the point where they were able to compete with all the other races out there. If it wasn't for the Emperor, then all of humanity would fall under Chaos. Screw chaos.
Well this was only a way to keep us happy since relic are busy making DoW2 which has just been announced.
Surely the blood would extinguish all the flames
@10Maloy the Eldar and Space marines don't fire lasers.
The Guard does - and HOW!
imperial guard ftw!
@glenpiper11 Well, they didn't even figure out that there was a freaking C'tan god under Mars despite owning it for thousands upon thousands of years until the Necrons attacked it.
one thing i don't like about the dawn of war games is that they have the IG fight the space marines and in soulstorm the IG fight the space marines and the sisters of battle
@erestor629 Because the Tau sept in the campaign is the Falshia sept and its colors are red all the Tau septs are diferent the only army that is equal in al DoW is the SM with the Blood Ravens
No, they are different universe. While they appear to have similar characteristics, (both by Games Workshop)the undead aren't Necrons to the exact point. Orks don't side with Chaos. They always bicker (excluding Winter Assault) The Eldar,elves, don't side with the Imperium. (excluding Winter Assault and the Original Dawn of War, because both were temporary) The Imperium has many planets under its control. The Warhammer Fantasy occurs only at one planet. There are no dwarves in Warhammer 40k.
IG won the Kaurava Crusade. That makes them kick ass.
well so far as i read it said the Space Marines and the orks are fighting when a new terror emerges (probably nids) so thats 3 so far
I'm currently playing as the Space Marines and so far I've eliminated the Orks and I'm at the central stronghold of the Alpha Legion (Chaos forces). Once they're dead, the Dark Eldar are next on my hit list.
I also have a saved campaign where I play as the Orks. In that one, I've defeated the Space Marines and am at the central stronghold of the Tau in the saved game.
So, have you defeated the Dark Eldar yet?
And not just the Imperium.
So the Orks, Eldar, and Necrons plots are recycled from Dark Crusade. The Tau decide to expand their borders by taking on 8 armies rather then just the Imperial Guard. The Sisters of Battle decide to go on a near suicide mission by picking a fight with the Space Marines, and the Dark Eldar decided to attack the area and assume that other armies won't notice them. The Chaos Space Marines appearing out of warp storm is actually something happens in the lore
I'll get back to you when I've played it some more.
Wow, did I unearth the most ancient recording of your channel?
@oogyboogyooy actually sisters of battle do not take vows of celibacy
Yeah, I know it's anatolia, I was just using what the Emperor said in the books when Horus asked him where he was born. He just said, "Anatoly"
I wish in Soulstrom u could use some of the gaurd units from Warhammer stories. Gaunts Ghosts would own all of the armies in a couple of days.
Complete this name Vance .......... Stubs
of coarse (according to fluff) the orks actually praise the elder gods so they're kicking themselves there
MEANWHILE
i just realised something.kaurava 4 looks like mars right?and the void dragon is hidden on mars.necrons used to purge worlds that old ones made habitable.mars is suspected to have had life on it before but just as in the necron victory on kronus everything became sand and the air was thinned.and with different necron serving different c'tan it would mean that there are necrons worshiping dragon just as nightbringer and deceiver.so humanity has a huge army of sleeping robots in their backyard.
Dark Eldar. Fucking epic.
They said how everyone got involved except the Orks, oh well the Orks were gonna show up to a waaaagh no matter what so theres no reason to explain why they'd be there
❤️
yes, and if you wiki warhammer 40k's imperium, the capital planet is terra, then it has (Earth), i find it funny that the turks would keep the name Anatolia, since it is greek and the two countries are rivals...
In the codex necrons they show Mars, as well as in some other codex (i forget which one) they mention Earth. Isnt the Emporers body on Earth? So i assume it took place 39,000 years from now.
of course its before any Tyrannid arrival.
If it would be after their arrival there would be nothing more to play a Game with (because the Tyrannids would have eaten everything)
;-)
0:20 make way for the 12 Barrels of Hell!
@Rocketfist15
Oh sorry, the wiki doesn't say anything about it.
Short version: Ages ago, shamans guided humanity. They always reincarnated. but soon, it was noticed that less and less were being reborn. This was because the Warp had become a nasty place. Soon, there would be none of these wise men to guide humanity, so they made a plan. 1000 shamans committed ritual suicide and theirs souls merged, forming a New Man, one who would not die. Thus, in ancient Anatolia, the Emperor of Mankind was born. Google 40K fluff for lore if you're interested.
can't wait to see what may that interplanetary gun can do, they should incorporate space battle in this also u knoe like homeworld, that wud be sweet Tau would own....... FOR THE GREATER GOOD!! :D
@10Maloy Remind me Bold and the Beautiful. OMG!
@10Maloy thanks, that helped a lot actually xD
best armies EVARH!!!!! Tau Empire,Imperial Guard,Space Marines,and Eldar :P!!!!!
Ah an ig fan thats what im talking about me to lol yea sisters look cool I love the inquistion though shame you cant have daemon hunters :(
so um what was the reason for the space marines, the IG, and the sisters of battle to fight each other?
however, it is entirely possible in the universe of 40k, that a planet exists that has the fantasy realm on, maybe blocked of by a warp storm. You are forgetting the fact races have been taken out from GW's works. Such as first edition fantasy had a army called Fishmen/Menfish. Tht is wer the idea for tau came from.
Man it must suck to live on Kauriva.
@TH3KILLINGJ0K3 im sure if you watch the credits after you beat the game you will find his name
IG, but of the new races I'd have to go with the Sisters.
I'll tell you this. The game doesn't suck. It could've been better if it wasn't for THQ & Relic pushing Ironlore (the guys responsible for Titan Quest) too much. Thus rather than ending the first Dawn of War saga with units like Chaos Dreds/Terminators, Vanguard/Sternguard, the rest of the Aspect Warriors/Wraithguard, we've got something that the fans didn't want in the game.
you dont need the other games to play but you need them to play as all 9 races in multipkayer or else you will only play as the sisters of battle and the dark eldar in multiplayer
It's said that the Emperor often guided humanity in the past, secretly in disguise. Many of the world's great leaders, historical figures, and messiahs were all actually the Emperor. So one of the possible implications is that the Emperor was Jesus. So, maybe when the Emperor revealed himself at last, he explained all this stuff. He himself was not big on religion & superstition, preferring science. I don't think there's a clear answer, but there's no mention of Christianity in 40k.
what would happen when all sisters of battle got their period at the same time
maaktnieuit1 there always on one lol
maaktnieuit1 there always on one lol

Then the demons of Korne would eat them out like Ice Cream sandwiches - Leman Russ.
@@shaydorahl6740 That is THE worst thing you could have said...thank you.
@superstrok99
And their set in entirly different universes....WH40K is "supposed" to be the "real" future in a way, while warhammer in totally unrelated and set in a different universe....
Thats a bit of an understatment...
LOL. No I kinda like the narrator he's ok though could be better. However some of his narrators I really dig. It's all on personal preference I guess. I really like the narrator for the Eres Badlands.
Well, where was he born the first time? or is it mentioned? Because wasn't it noted that he was somewhat a "Reincarnation cycle" shaman or something along those lines? And didn't he seal himself off from the world at some point?
Oh well, I just like Space Marines, Orks, and Nids. That might bias me a bit.
Link me books if you can, to either prove me right or wrong, i just love reading the lore.
man ig got pwned sucks to be those obliterated guys in the name of the emperor they have to over come there enemies
@10Maloy Remind me Bold and the Beautiful
you know, his voice kinda grows on ya....
lol very nice
Gorgutz won this war, canonically. Sorry Stubbs
No? It's hinted by Cyrus in DoW 2 that Imperial Guard won also there is item in Retribution that states the IG won.
That was retconned hard in Dawn of War Three
Patton528 yeah no one consider s Dow 3 cannon
yeah i just saw it.
i agree, yes but still my point remains
Can someone explain how can all the freaking races of WH40k attack the same system and why? And why would Adeptus Sororitas fight Adeptus Astartes and the Imperial guard and so on? This game made no freaking sense :D
Just their luck I guess, and the reason the imperium is fighting itself is because the SOB believe that the blood ravens and the imperial guard are corrupted and must be purged, while kyres ordered the blood ravens to purge all life on the planet to recover the relics without anyone knowing what they are while the guard are just defending themselves
inquistor darkheart Nope, pure bullshit. I get that is what they try to say to give some reason to it, but... SoB could not just go and purge a chapter. That is total bullshit. As for the Guard... they cannot do shit against the power of the space marines, so they would just let them take the relics and would help them with it as a Chapter Master is higher than a governor and you do not want to piss him off. And the rest... would never meet in one place. Dark Eldar? Why the fuck are they there? Normal Eldar can get there because of the necrons... The Chaos? Why? Where is this system anyway? Near the eye of terror? That would mean that Chaos could be there, but not the Tau... you just cannot put all races of the universe in one system. Does not work.
CZProtton I know it probably too late to answer this, but here we go.
You are right that the conflict between the Imperial Forces is artificial and purely for the purpose that every faction has to fight any other. Which unfortunately undermines all three imperial forces fluff wise.
The guard isn't suicidal to fought against space marines without any need. The sister are fanatic, but don't BURN simply everything, without explicit orders.
And the Blood Ravens look like traitors which twice in a row right imperial forces in a great scheme. (prophetic perhaps?)
The Dark eldar don't need special reason, since they are pirates and slave hunters, things which can work well in a big conflict.
If you play the choas campaign to the end, it is revival that a single guardsmen was a secret psyker, which got seduce by the warp and did dark rituals to summon the Chaos Space Marines.
Overall, SS is pretty terrible fluff wise. The most daring thing however are still the "100 newly produce Baneblades sent away to the front and NO Baneblade left to defend the fabric, which produce them".
It did make sense sorta if you consider all the problems with the Imperium. The Sisters did have orders to purge the system and everyone in it from the Inquisition and the Ecclesiarchy and the Guard actually was responsible for the warp storm due to a single guardsman summoning the chaos legion. Entire regiments have been purged because of individual guardsmen before so that's not very far fetched. As for the Blood Ravens, the reason they and the Sisters fought was more due to poor communication than real reasons. The Blood Ravens act almost independent of the other branches of the imperium and often act in secret and answer mostly to their own chapter leadership. It looks like they went to Kaurava without alerting the rest of the Imperium, so the Sisters arrived without knowing the Ravens were there and since the warp storm cuts off communications and reinforcements the Sisters could not receive new orders and it goes against their nature to rethink their original orders. the Ravens in turn probably did not know the Sisters were there either until it was too late. The different branches of the Imperium rarely coordinate properly and since everyone is brainwashed to follow orders without question if orders conflict it can lead to some very bloody misunderstandings. The Sisters technically have superior jurisdiction since they report to the Inquisition and the warp storm and deep presence of chaos makes it an inquisitorial matter, the Blood Ravens should not have even been in that system to begin with and even when they were stuck they should have simply retreated to their battle barge and hid until the storm was over while trying their best to stay out of the Sisters' way since they know the Sisters are crazy in their devotion and can't be expected to not interpret orders to the letter. As for the Guard both the Blood Ravens and Sisters had a very good reason to put them down since the Guard were officially marked as traitors and heretics. On Kronus the Blood Ravens were in the right, but in Kaurava they basically walked right into a Purge. A Space Marine Chapter can indeed be purged if it crosses the Inquisition and resisting the Sisters is considered interfering with the Ordo Hereticus. Space Marines are officially just as vulnerable to purges as the Guard, but unofficially it is not usually done because of how valuable the Marines are to the Imperium, but that doesn't matter because the Sisters don't consider unofficial rules or political stuff and exist only to purge. This is why the Adepta Sororitas and Astartes are often kept separate by the Imperium.
Why dark crusade was so popular but this game receive so much hate?
Yes, why not? Go ahead Boreale! *trollface*
@10Maloy you forgot the tau
