this game looks awesome and the intro is great it explains everything that each race would like 2 do and u can find out wich character appeals the most to u :) great vid m8 5 stars
When they said Boreale died and that the whole campaign would not be spoken of again... I took that as Relic saying "Sorry about Iron Lore ****ing Soulstorm up."
I love Dawn Of war and I've been playing since the first came out, but I was disipointed with soulstorms capaign, and I was reading last months Blood And thunder, and Goreguts died!! WTF??
And also, if there's gonna be a DoW sequel, do you think they're gonna use the engine that was used in Company of Heroes? Wouldn't it be cool to have a completely destructible environment?
Pretty much. 4 different planets with either 1 or two races holding sway over it. Planet 1: Imperial Guard with the Sisters of Battle. Planet 2: Orks battling the Blood Ravens with Tau near them on a moon. Planet 3: The Necrons being watched by the Eldar. Planet 4: The Chaos Marines making war with the Dark Eldar over the planet. Pretty crazy wars at this point here. Wouldn't ya say?
why do they never let you play as the theranoids even though i have somthing abaout and ekspansion called legion of steel but there werent any advertising enywere
The Lost And The Damned can consist of corrupted Guardsmen, mutants and other things such as Chaos Spawns, Imperial Guard Tanks. I know DOW doesn't have the Lost and the damned but they are an army that would make a fine addition to it. I'd love to see them and the chaos marines work together or see Chaos work with another chaos legion.
Let's just say that the Adeptus Astartes (Space Marines), the Adeptus Sororitas (Sisters of Battle) and the Imperial Guard are fighting mostly on the same side, but usually the Adeptus Astartes and Sororitas have certain reservations against the effectiveness of each other and the Imperial Guard and at times it is not uncommon for one to fight the others.
@Damocles178 My guess is that from The Space Marines point of view, they thought that, due to The Imperial Guard's incompetence of holding back Chaos, they were corrupt and purposely let them open up a Warp Storm. They then decided that this group of "Heretical" IG need to be put down for their actions.
+SuperDarthVader1 It still looks quite absurd... ¿why kill them instead of using them? And the Sisters of Battle are on an even more absurd position... fine... "Let's kill the Guardsmen (wich is of course absurd, they did not do anything wrong)" but... "Let's kill the Space Marines!" - ¿Why? That it's just batshit insane.
i played this game and was blown away bad they wrecked it you have to rebuild your base EVERY SINGLE TIME, your enemies always started with a full base, so it made sense that you got to keep whatever you had built if you won. if you attack a strength 8 enemy base there gonna have two bases and two AIs to fight with, it makes sense they should have to deal with what ever hell you've prepared for them, even worse it means that each battle can take about half an hour since you start form scratch
how do i register online for this?? i try on game and it wont work, when i chose create account and shit it'll say stuff like incorrect username and incorrect password???? i dont get it
I think on this occasion the Space Marines and Imperial Guard should have worked together after all the Space Marines supposedly only came to get rid of the Orks and Chaos Marines. I understand being at odds with the Sisters of battle as inquisitional forces are pretty damn strict and in Gabriel Angelos words about Inqusitor Toth "He is an inquistor. They suspect everyone of heresy". Supposedly 3 inquisitor factions forces exist Daemon Hunters, Witch Hunters and Alien Hunters.
does anyone else have a problem with the game loading times? mine loads fine besides the conquest mode, everytime i take a territory something like 4 minutes pass. but the game itself load fast in less then 40 seconds.
I wouldn't be surprised if there are three Imperial nobles somewhere on Terra pulling strings only to place bets on which of the three would end up on top. It
Whenever they introduced flying units; there wasn't really much reason to use them; the only real advantage was them not being tied up in melee. Though I did find them useful in the Imperial Guard Stronghold. I used a few hell talons to take out the Basilisk cannon before they even considered trying to use it.
in soulstorm, do the forces of the imperium: the imperial guard, the space marines, and the sisters of battle fight each other? like the space marines fought the imperial guard in dakr crusade?
I would like to see an Alien Hunters codex as apparently Games Workshop has plans for one :) I remember they said in a Whitedwarf book in 2005; "Codex:Alien Hunters (When it is written)". God knows when it will come if at all but they have implied they might make it :)
The narrator and this movie just get more awesome everytime I watch it. "It was the sudden appearence of the warp storm at the kaurava system's outer edge that first caught the attention *dramatic pause* ...of the imperium."
Here are your choices: Emperor: worship a dead guy in a chair, Chaos: Slaanesh: FREE PORN!!! Tau: Epic marksmanship, Sisters: chicks with flamethrowers, Necrons: live for EVAH!i'm too lazy to continue...
Funny (or not) how actually the "heroines" of the game, the sisters of battle, are a bunch of genocidal raving lunatics who actually don't do anything useful except to kill innocent people and impossing a brutal system of oppression wich the Guardsmen could only dream about. Thus being an absolutely ineffective military force. Not even the Chaos Space Marines could do a better job in slaughtering millions of innocents than the Sisters of Battle. I sincerely think that the only would be heroes in this story are the Tau, that are protecting their borders, and the Imperial Guard that is worried about the stability of their human domains. If the Space Marines were not headed by Indrick Boreale, this incompetent nutjob, maybe they would qualify too. Really sad.
+Gustavo Molvert "Hence Theocracy is the worst of all governments. If we must have a tyrant, a robber baron is far better than an inquisitor. The baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity at some point may be sated; and since he dimly knows he is doing wrong he may possibly repent.

Theocracy like all governments would not be bad if it were headed by the right people... problem is that this cannot be determined (there is no political system unable to fail). But indeed, it is, at least for me, a primitive system. In the sense that it will inevitably degenerate towards an oligarchy. A republic is my ideal form of government, the best of wich we have developed over the centuries (not perfect, of course, as we see everyday) but as you correctly point out... imagine to live like ages past... not good.
Jadudes Well, their as close as we get to heroes. Though I think we can all agree men like Stubbs and Gaunt, and the Salamanders/Lamenters are the real heroes.
this is a game with genetically engineered humans(space marines), space orks and goblins, Daemons, space elves(eldar), space vampires(dark eldar), robot zombies(necrons), asian communists in battlesuits(tau), joan of arc in pwoer armour (sisters of battle), and a ww1 army (IG) fight on one large battlefield
seems like the tau own a moon already and this tau "space cannon" might be used to blow up some planets. so cool i love the idea of conquering the moons!
The warp storms were occurring before the Imperium was even founded. I don't believe the Emperor is garbage. The Imperium may have become tyrannical but that is not what the Emperor originally intended it to be. Even so, he provides something hopeful and uplifting for humanity to believe in. I still say they are more the good guys than the communistic Tau, in spite of their evil parts.
If u dont see an enemy for a long time it's expected tht u become slack. They also must have thought the Orks not to pose a major threat so didnt bother purging them.
can anyone help(teach) me on how to register my account to play online for soulstorm as everytime i tried it give me this "your password is incorrect" when i havent even login my account yet!
Yes, but in Dark Crusade and Soulstorm, the developers wanted all the factions to have some reason to fight one another. So there's a story of misunderstanding, fanaticism, confusion over authority, etc. added in to create conflict among the 3 Imperial forces (SM, IG, SoB) I imagine if they all worked together like they're supposed to, they would have crushed the other factions fairly easily.
army rundown Imperial Guard: thousands of soldiers who use overwhelming fire power Space Marines: versatile super soldiers Sisters of Battle: highly zealous women who use flamers and meltas with strong morale Tau: communist aliens who use amazing fire power Eldar: space elves who move fast and use deception Dark Eldar: weaker eldar who use fast hit and run attacks Orks: ape like creatures that live for war and close combat Necrons: alien robots who return to life and have really good shooting
I love how the series expands.
"JOIN.... THE ARMY........ OF DEEEEEAAAAATH" - Necron lord
this game looks awesome and the intro is great it explains everything that each race would like 2 do and u can find out wich character appeals the most to u :) great vid m8 5 stars
geez! i was always a fan of the tua . how r they? the Dark eldar are starting to take my interest. are they any good?
The guy who voices these DoW videos cracks me up...he gets so into it!
@GamerGuy249 At 0:20, the warpstorm was spawning things onto Kaurava IV itself, deamons and chaos with it.
@Whiskey21882 One good race is usually the Space Marines or the Chaos Marines. Each race has its own special powers.
the voice makes this sounds like a Disney story...
Yes, buy it now. Wht sort of suggestions are u askin for?
man, cant wait to download this
Holy shit i never knew this continue was out damn gotta download it looks wicked
When they said Boreale died and that the whole campaign would not be spoken of again... I took that as Relic saying "Sorry about Iron Lore ****ing Soulstorm up."
I love Dawn Of war and I've been playing since the first came out, but I was disipointed with soulstorms capaign, and I was reading last months Blood And thunder, and Goreguts died!! WTF??
when did this one come out...i just heard of it from this
the soulstorm narrator fuckign owns. hes perfectly suited for the over the top nature of 40k. id love to have him do the eulogy at my funeral
@TheGreymagi
Correction: Necron kill everything down to the last microbe.
@Rorymclean12 The Tau consider the Eldar the ones most likely to support the Greater Good but can't see why they haven't done anything about it.
what books are these and where can you buy them...without internet
Does anyone know the name of the man who speaks intros for Dawn Of War? His voice is incredible.
And also, if there's gonna be a DoW sequel, do you think they're gonna use the engine that was used in Company of Heroes? Wouldn't it be cool to have a completely destructible environment?

DAMN dude, just for one planet there's like all the races coming together
For Chaos!
@GSNass tyranids are already in dow2?

I CANT WAIT
I have all the others Dawn of wars...woudl you say Soulstorm was worth getting or should I just stick with Dark Crusade?
i played this game and was blown away bad they wrecked it you have to rebuild your base EVERY SINGLE TIME, your enemies always started with a full base, so it made sense that you got to keep whatever you had built if you won. if you attack a strength 8 enemy base there gonna have two bases and two AIs to fight with, it makes sense they should have to deal with what ever hell you've prepared for them, even worse it means that each battle can take about half an hour since you start form scratch

"Neglectful watch of the Imperial Guard..."
That must explain how they lost a hundred baneblades...
For the Greater Good!
Does anyone know the name of the angry british guy who narrates? he's done quite a good job.
my campaign mode doesn't load it starts to load up then has an error and exits
is it out all ready?
does anyone else have a problem with the game loading times? mine loads fine besides the conquest mode, everytime i take a territory something like 4 minutes pass. but the game itself load fast in less then 40 seconds.

Soulstom I CANT WAIT!!!!!

Though I did find them useful in the Imperial Guard Stronghold. I used a few hell talons to take out the Basilisk cannon before they even considered trying to use it.
yea i know the loading time for the campaign is too long
i was wondering was there something wrong with my pc when this happened
So will all races fight each other? Including the Imperial Guard, Space Marines and Sisters of Battle?
what about 2?
Hey is the game out now????
cuz on the DOW website sais it comes out april 3rd.....
Can some1 help me out?
The chaos lord voice in Dark Crusade was pretty cool.
sweet where did u find that out?¿?¿
You're thinking of DoWO (online) which is basically the DoW equivalent of CoHO. Its an online campaign.
hey does this game work on windows vista then ?
why does this not play for me
Lord Macragge himself has fought beside the Tau, Its in the 5th edition Codex
@TheGreymagi actually the necrons dont just kil. Orks do
in soulstorm, do the forces of the imperium: the imperial guard, the space marines, and the sisters of battle fight each other? like the space marines fought the imperial guard in dakr crusade?
I would like to see an Alien Hunters codex as apparently Games Workshop has plans for one :) I remember they said in a Whitedwarf book in 2005; "Codex:Alien Hunters (When it is written)". God knows when it will come if at all but they have implied they might make it :)
necrons over all ♥
The narrator and this movie just get more awesome everytime I watch it.
"It was the sudden appearence of the warp storm at the kaurava system's outer edge that first caught the attention *dramatic pause* ...of the imperium."
I am for the greater good.
where from?
so you have to conquer four planets in this campaign?
Does this mean that if you choose one race you get to only play that certain race for campaign?
wooow u got the game already u lucky i should be getting at my door this weekend
wich programm did you use
Here are your choices: Emperor: worship a dead guy in a chair, Chaos: Slaanesh: FREE PORN!!! Tau: Epic marksmanship, Sisters: chicks with flamethrowers, Necrons: live for EVAH!i'm too lazy to continue...
Yeah that would be great
YES FINALLY< this game is awesome!!!
Is the moon in the campaign? I just wanted to know, I haven't got soulstorm and am planning to soon.
Yeassss.. more blood!

Gustavo Molvert Defiantly. Better that all be given a chance at free rights, not just those that a holy book as old as dirt says to give rights to.
Nobody in this story are heroes, the tau are also just power hunger maniacs wanting to expand their borders.
Jadudes Well, their as close as we get to heroes. Though I think we can all agree men like Stubbs and Gaunt, and the Salamanders/Lamenters are the real heroes.
this is a game with genetically engineered humans(space marines), space orks and goblins, Daemons, space elves(eldar), space vampires(dark eldar), robot zombies(necrons), asian communists in battlesuits(tau), joan of arc in pwoer armour (sisters of battle), and a ww1 army (IG) fight on one large battlefield
seems like the tau own a moon already and this tau "space cannon" might be used to blow up some planets.
so cool i love the idea of conquering the moons!
Maybe because they are more fanatic than marines or imperial guard is?
HOLY SHIT! This is a chaotic conflict!
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!
THANK U
so who won the previous war?
I thought Eldar were composed mostly of men :/
yes i can finally get this game tommorow
The warp storms were occurring before the Imperium was even founded. I don't believe the Emperor is garbage. The Imperium may have become tyrannical but that is not what the Emperor originally intended it to be. Even so, he provides something hopeful and uplifting for humanity to believe in. I still say they are more the good guys than the communistic Tau, in spite of their evil parts.
why the SM and the IG are enemies, i dont get it =(
If u dont see an enemy for a long time it's expected tht u become slack. They also must have thought the Orks not to pose a major threat so didnt bother purging them.
Downloading the video or the game? Because you cant d/l the game.
*tears of joy* gotta the Narrator :)
yea but i don't have vista business
i have got the normal vista
i hope it works on there
can anyone help(teach) me on how to register my account to play online for soulstorm as everytime i tried it give me this "your password is incorrect" when i havent even login my account yet!
awsome ive just braught this game of ebay and its arriving next week
Yes Dark Angel 4ever!
can u play wity all 9 races in skirmish??
Yes, but in Dark Crusade and Soulstorm, the developers wanted all the factions to have some reason to fight one another. So there's a story of misunderstanding, fanaticism, confusion over authority, etc. added in to create conflict among the 3 Imperial forces (SM, IG, SoB)
I imagine if they all worked together like they're supposed to, they would have crushed the other factions fairly easily.
no one is more fanatic than the marines :P
chaos for the win
TAU ! Everyday of the week !
Ironlore didn't finish this game because the Tau cannon for one thing did absolutely nothing to weaken a territory just before your forces arrive.
go on control panel and find the uninstall programs secton if you have vista
im not sure about xp
they look purdy in the sisters intro nice and purdy they are.
@babadef It is when you're drowning in it. Honestly the difference between the two words is not subtle.
army rundown
Imperial Guard: thousands of soldiers who use overwhelming fire power
Space Marines: versatile super soldiers
Sisters of Battle: highly zealous women who use flamers and meltas with strong morale
Tau: communist aliens who use amazing fire power
Eldar: space elves who move fast and use deception
Dark Eldar: weaker eldar who use fast hit and run attacks
Orks: ape like creatures that live for war and close combat
Necrons: alien robots who return to life and have really good shooting
this is in MY opinion, the only bit of soulstorm they didn't fubar
is it just me or does my campaign take forever to load
Or wait for DOW 2. coming in 2009 thought. Unknown if they going to add Tyranid in the game or in the expansion.
