I see the Eldar ending as a win for the Imperium too. The Eldar indirectly returned the system back in Imperial hands. Sure Kaurava 3 was off limits because of necrons but having the others is decent compensation
Exactly. People may label the Eldar as cowards but it's quite the opposite. To go to war knowing that when you die and (given the nature of most 40k weapons) your spirit stone is broken that you will be raped/tortured by Slannesh for all eternity must take a lot of courage. It's also strange how everyone thinks they're pansies when they leave to not take unnecessary losses. The Tau do the same thing. ANY real army would do the same thing. "Balls of Steel" don't win wars.

@@diepssuarez2676 i heard that he died on Tartarus, i mean, he finally joined to the forces of Chaos and died. In the ending of first DOW there is no Colonel Brom shown, in the last missions there is no help from Imperial Guard, so i stay in opinion that Carrus Brom and all PDF guardsmen died on Tartarus.
Hey, it's Col. Brom from the original Dawn of War! Looks like he got a promotion or two from Tartarus. He sure as hell deserved it. After Sturnn, he's definitely the best IG commander in the series. Neither Stubbs nor Alexander had to go through what Brom had to go through.
Agreed. He actually had guts unlike his troops and followed every order given to him. After what he went through, he damn well deserved a promotion and showed that he was Guard material.
In the Imperial Guard ending they leave the planet alone because the necrons were on it, so why don't they Eldar just show up and say, "Hey you don't wanna colonize this, its a tomb world." The Imperial Guard wouldn't want to deal with that spooky skeleton shit and would leave it alone!
TheAtomicGoliath Eldar don't explain anything. Thanks to this stupid arrogant high-horse manner they have lost the buried craftworld on Typhon Primaris.
Antoine Winterborn Studying Necrons is impossible. Mechanicus has already studied their weaponry and claimed that they break the laws of physics. No working specimen of Necrons can be recovered because after death - or maybe rather temporary malfunction - they all are teleported back to the planet's interior to be repaired.
I love Eldar. Their tactics is awesome.I'm making portals to everywhere when enemy is starting to attack my base,I relocate eveything.After that I'm using portals attack to their base. But what I hate what happens after battlefield. They vanish. They dont hold what they earned. Kill the Necrons and Chaos then begone.
What would be the point of holding a planet for the Eldar? Resources or living space is not something they worry about, and trying to contain the imperium of man would be pointless.
The whole presence of the Eldar in Kaurava is pointless beyond stopping the necrons and maybe chaos anyway. What stakes do they have in the tau, the orks and the Imperium killing each other?
This is one of the best endings for the great system war to end. The Eldar mostly stay on the 3 planet keeping the Necrons in check and the Imperial Guard stomps all other enemies. Funny, how the Eldar even lets the IG build up the systems again but making sure they leave the 3 planet alone.
Her'es how it goes with Eldar: "Hmm, it will take me approximately 1000 years to figure out how to beat this monstrosity" Here's how it goes for Space Marines: "Alright men listen up! we're gonna drop T4h Empr4's B0mb and finish teh fight!" Eldar:"IMPOSSIBLE! IT WOULD BE ME A THOUSAND YOURS TO FINISH THIS AND YOU ALONE COMPLETE IT IN 5 SECONDS! FEEL OUR WRATH!"
WOOHOO! I love how they used Colonel Brom from the first DoW to be the Governor. Yep. No matter who wins this system, the Imperium will ALWAYS return. There can be no doubt of their eventual victory.
That's Imperial Guard Colonel Brom previously in command of Tartarus Planetary Defense Force, clearly his aid to Gabriel Angelos did not go unnoticed :)
Let us all face it, the eldar just showed up to deal with the necrons. Everyone else was just in the way, and they decided to let the imperial guard keep the other 3 planets so long as they keep Kaurava 3 (just like they wanted in winter assault).
The Eldar merely wanted to ensure that none of the other powers would win and use the system as a means to threaten the Eldar craftworlds. Based on what the other powers do if they win, this objective on the part of the Eldar seems reasonable.
I just just love how some IG dudes escape from a disaster then make a Guerrilla war just like the Kasrkins in DOW:DC when you defeat IG with the Tau =]
I doubt the Eldar are THAT driven to kill the Dark Eldar. They'd probably fight when the situation came to it but they wouldnt actively be out to destroy them. They are still kin after all, dark or otherwise.
If you have been reading the codices and the novels, the Eldar are indeed the most powerful race in the Warhammer universe! That's way before Man even stood upright! They had sophisticated technologies to do their everyday labor for them and even crafted massive self-sustaining wraithships the size of planets called Craftworlds!
this ending is realy the best of all. but just 1 question: are my eyes playing tricks on me or is new general of imperium colonel from original dawn of war? he looks the same
@1:47 Hey, it's Colonel Brom! I wonder what he's doing under command of the 242nd Kauruvan Regiment, last ime I checked back in DoW1, he was Colonel of the 37th Tartarus Regiment!
Dark Eldar are the most undervalued race in W40K and yes they're getting a codex update this year. Hopefully it'll renew interest in them amongst tabletop players. A truly interesting race.
Tau: LETS BE FRIENDS (or you die...)! Humans: You're all filth, heretic and charged with death penalty!!! Eldar: We killed your planet you say? Can't hear you over the noise of my awesomeness. Orks: Gutz, Gunz and WAAAAGH! Chaos: DEATH IS AWESOME! MULTIPLE BOOOOOBS! Dark Eldar: Whats this pointy thing do? Tyranids: EAT Nekrons: 01100100 01101001 01100101... 01100010 01100101 01100101 01110000.
Not even close, given the bizarre and arcane magics those poncy freaks have access to, like wraithbone, distort technology, and the infinity circuits installed in their craftworlds. We Tau can stand up to them and their depraved kabalite kin because we know how to mass-produce our technology and mobilize far more force than any craftworld (also, we don't play with the Warp and spawn heretical gods out of our own sheer carelessness, but that's beside the point.)
Eldar are the oldest existing species in the galaxy, unless you count the Necrons as a species. So it makes sense that Eldar would be more technologically advanced.
Kinda. As far as I understand, the Eldar consider it a victory if their objectives are met. Who claims victory is pretty much irrelevant, especially with the amount of respect they have for the IG.
I always thought this was the most 'realistic' ending, but Relic confirmed (Can't find the source, sorry) that the Imperial Guard under General Stubbs were victorious.
DoW 1 started with Space Marines, Orks, Eldar, and Chaos. DoW 2 started with Space Marines, Orks, Eldar, and Tyranids. So, they both have the same number of races. I don't know whether DoW2 will get as many expansions, but I think we can count on Chaos and Imperial Guard at least, and hope for Tau and Necrons someday.
They have adapted pretty well. They are incredibly dangerous when you attack a craftworld. The Imperium once lost an entire Battlefleet trying to destroy one of them.
@Seekerz3996 The Eldar are not out to conquer the galaxy, they're out to keep their craftworlds from falling, and from Necrons being released. They don't care about owning the system - keeping the Necrons underground is enough for them. They probably picked the IG because they originally ruled the system, or because the Farseer saw it would work out best if they were in charge as opposed to, say, the Orks, who would go wherever destruction was, or the DE, who could follow them into the webway.
Firstly, the Eldar are just on a colision course to destruction while the imperium is actually trying (and often failing horribly) to save the planets that support thier kind.
"The So-called imperium cannot catch us, for we are your shadows, turn your back on us, and we will strip the meat from your bones, and parade it threw halls of torture, for your souls, while pathetic, are very good indeed." ~Mandrake Czar-huz Kabal of the Splintered Sword
@gta1771 They somewhat started from scratch with DoW2, I think they will either slowly add more races and units, or just more races (there are only so much a single base building can build giving the limit of the hotkey squares that are available.
i have the ftrst 3 games , but not played much, should i start playing from the first one to understand it? sorry not played the lead figures since i was about 12 lol
@TheKristof91 Almost everything the Eldar do are known only to them as they must have a secondary aim to what they do, like they probably don't want the other factions becoming a threat to them. Plus they must have decided that "if you want something done right you gotta do it yourself".
hey can u tell me how to get 3 to 1 kill with the eldar.i got it with all races but not with the eldar.i use only vehicles to attack the enemy base but still i does not get any 3 to 1 kill ratio.pls answer quickly
I know that Brom was killed by Captian Angelos, but I still liked how Brom was portrayed in both book and game, and was glad to see that he had at least a small returing part. Even if all it means is that THQ was lazy and decided to NOT use a special model, or even just use one of the old generals, like Alexander or Sturnn. Oh I just can't wait for DOW II!
@Henners1991 depends which craftworld your dealing with, some will help humans from a distace knowing that they sand bettween them and chaos and others will just kill every one.
thats true only in the case of guardians, and they happen to be quite a good support unit. if you go for early howling banshees, they kick slugga ass. in the early game theyr great, and with the call for war upgrade they also have potential. with the later eldar units such as darkreepers warp spiders, you dont have any problems with durability whatsoever. and the avatar is probly the best unit in the game, making eldar production go extremely fast, and making their units immume to morale.
The 3rd Planet is where the Kaurava Necrons sleep beneath the sands. The eldar are rather testy about people waking up the Necrons, that was part of the impetus behind the entire previous expansion, Dark Crusade... the reawakening of the Necrons on Kronus.
"I didn't really have a "governor-general" model and the closest thing that looked like him would be Stubbs, but that wouldn't make sense to use him. Instead, I thought it'd be a neat fan service to throw in the model that hasn't been seen since the original Dawn of War. Either he's a twin, or Brom got promoted, or it simply is a guy who strikingly resembles Brom but isn't actually him. Or whatever else the fanfiction crew can imagine.": ILE_Silvey who made this ending on the Relic Forums
As much as i know only Abaddons Planetkiller would be able to blow up planets (and the guy works for Chaos) and considering not even an exterminatus can purge all the Necrons (this including the ones still underground unawaken), you go try that! Also you help them by destroying the planet and lifeforms for them! Perfect for making it a tomb world.
@warriorfar9 yup,they have a habit of putting old guys in endings.eliphas has a maledictum in his hands in dc chaos ending,in space marine dc ending the inquistor that came looks like toth including hammer.
Question, the first. What is that amazing music in the background of this video? Question, the second. Mayhap someone tell me why the Eldar are so far up their own asses that their insides resemble life-sized plastic casts?
+Christian Plante well thats because the Eldar use some sick twisted warp powers to gain farsight into the future. they then see what crazed shit will happen, and try to stop it. unfortunatly they forgot to tell everyone else about these kind of events, and are now pissed of at everyone for not understanding the technology they refuse to share.
Their senses, metabolic rates, reaction speeds and psychic power are much greater than humans. From their perspective, humans are slow, crude, stupid and dull, little more than primitive barbarians. if people were veichles, an Eldar's body and mind are a finely tuned, top of the line fighter jet, while a human is closer to a clunky world war one biplane. In all honestly they have every right to feel superior, because they pretty much are, apart from the area of physical strength.
I sort of like that about them. Got in, did what they wanted, arranged for the aftermath to be more or less acceptable and got out. The Imperium, Tau and possibly Chaos care about planets, Eldar don't (with a few exceptions).
Quick question, but aren't the Eldar in the Kaurava campaign from Ulthwe? I don't know what colour scheme the Farseer has, but it definitely isn't Ulthwe. Anyone know what it is?
TheScribeInYellow It may just be the wargear that you can equip your Farseer with over the course of the campaign, that causes the colour change. Also, if I remember correctly: despite how the game portrays it, generally the colour schemes of Eldar armies isn't craftworld specific, but rather, Aspect Warrior specific. For example, all Dark Reapers have variations of black/dark colour schemes, all Warp Spiders have red/white colour schemes, Striking Scorpions have greens, etc, according to the codex-books that Games Workshop release.
artificialisdeus I think the Guardians, Vehicles and Wraith-constructs carry the Craftworld's color scheme, plus the Aspect Warriors carry the name or logo of their Craftsworld on their tabard or somewhere on their armor, if I am not mistaken.
game developers fuck ups when filming, and then going bust prior to release, so a third party had to cobble it all together and sell it quick, hence why certain races films have conflicting colour schemes, one shot they're all the black and white of Ulthwé, the next they're farseer looks like that of Lyanden, then again back to Ulthwé in next shot. Same with the Tau, and I think one or two other races, I forget which now since my games broken and I have to rely on these videos uploaded.
Yes, individually, they are good units. Again though, it is a problem of both meneuverability and durability. They may be alright when you look at them individually, but collectivly, they are still lacking. Also, with the maneuverability part, I find that they tend to be easy to destroy because I fortify my base and they run up and they get torn apart before they can run. Also, the rest of the units I find tend to depend on the banshees for cover from the enemy. Kill the banshees, and their done
@Fr3k3 lore whise yes humans always favored in dawn of war. out of all game sonly time humans didnt come out on top was winter assault and thats cus eldar only ones who properly equiped to handle necrons (had secret weapon)
Thats quite a significant loss. The way they're willing to sacrifice large amounts of land such as in the defence of Alaitoc simply because it's the best ending is also good considering other factions would probably lose more lives defending inpractical areas.
Well, the thing is half the time the Farseers don't quite know what they mean. Regardless, if there is some heavy-duty Necron or Chaos stuff happening, they are likely to... be interested.
Bloodraven654: I don't know. It seems in the 40K storyline the Eldar would be willing to do anything to preserve their race. The Tau also seem to be very good diplomats. If they did the Imperium would likely be crushed.
that is why they have intense loyalties to the god-emperor. And if that fails their are thousands of imperial forces ready to crush any rebelion lead by the week eldar. Face it they are just as good as imperial guardsman.
Only the exodites have planets and there aren't a lot of exodite planets. The Dark eldar live in commoragh which is a big pirate city deed in the webway. And the craftworld eldar live in giant city ships called craft worlds. There some plantes with eldar ruines inside the Eye of terror I believe, but I doubt there still eldar living there.
"Imperial Guard troops who survived" yet again the four Guardsmen of the apocalypse from the chaos fortress are kicking ass.
It's because they handshaked with the Emperor Himself.
Stealth detection should be prescribed if your sectors have symptom of "slender and swift-moving figures vanishing without a trace".
or some kind of comunist blueberries
I see the Eldar ending as a win for the Imperium too. The Eldar indirectly returned the system back in Imperial hands. Sure Kaurava 3 was off limits because of necrons but having the others is decent compensation
Of course, I feel sorry for the governor that was forced to abandon Kaurava 3. Good luck explaining what’s happened.
Exactly. People may label the Eldar as cowards but it's quite the opposite. To go to war knowing that when you die and (given the nature of most 40k weapons) your spirit stone is broken that you will be raped/tortured by Slannesh for all eternity must take a lot of courage. It's also strange how everyone thinks they're pansies when they leave to not take unnecessary losses. The Tau do the same thing. ANY real army would do the same thing. "Balls of Steel" don't win wars.
Spoken like a true commander. Our territory is intelligence and focus, it's our units who should take heart when we give them orders
Ok this was surprisingly one of the coolest endings.

Even if all it means is that THQ was lazy and decided to NOT use a special model, or even just use one of the old generals, like Alexander or Sturnn.
Oh I just can't wait for DOW II!
@Henners1991 depends which craftworld your dealing with, some will help humans from a distace knowing that they sand bettween them and chaos and others will just kill every one.
@Fr3k3 urrr... was titan even out when the eldar took the maiden world?
thats true only in the case of guardians, and they happen to be quite a good support unit.
if you go for early howling banshees, they kick slugga ass. in the early game theyr great, and with the call for war upgrade they also have potential.
with the later eldar units such as darkreepers warp spiders, you dont have any problems with durability whatsoever.
and the avatar is probly the best unit in the game, making eldar production go extremely fast, and making their units immume to morale.
The 3rd Planet is where the Kaurava Necrons sleep beneath the sands. The eldar are rather testy about people waking up the Necrons, that was part of the impetus behind the entire previous expansion, Dark Crusade... the reawakening of the Necrons on Kronus.
"I didn't really have a "governor-general" model and the closest thing that looked like him would be Stubbs, but that wouldn't make sense to use him. Instead, I thought it'd be a neat fan service to throw in the model that hasn't been seen since the original Dawn of War. Either he's a twin, or Brom got promoted, or it simply is a guy who strikingly resembles Brom but isn't actually him. Or whatever else the fanfiction crew can imagine.": ILE_Silvey who made this ending on the Relic Forums
As much as i know only Abaddons Planetkiller would be able to blow up planets (and the guy works for Chaos) and considering not even an exterminatus can purge all the Necrons (this including the ones still underground unawaken), you go try that! Also you help them by destroying the planet and lifeforms for them! Perfect for making it a tomb world.
1:36 "Met with inexplicable disaster"........ ya got that right, they decimated an entire base in 5 seconds O_O.
@warriorfar9 yup,they have a habit of putting old guys in endings.eliphas has a maledictum in his hands in dc chaos ending,in space marine dc ending the inquistor that came looks like toth including hammer.
Question, the first.
What is that amazing music in the background of this video?
Question, the second.
Mayhap someone tell me why the Eldar are so far up their own asses that their insides resemble life-sized plastic casts?
+Christian Plante well thats because the Eldar use some sick twisted warp powers to gain farsight into the future. they then see what crazed shit will happen, and try to stop it. unfortunatly they forgot to tell everyone else about these kind of events, and are now pissed of at everyone for not understanding the technology they refuse to share.
Their senses, metabolic rates, reaction speeds and psychic power are much greater than humans. From their perspective, humans are slow, crude, stupid and dull, little more than primitive barbarians. if people were veichles, an Eldar's body and mind are a finely tuned, top of the line fighter jet, while a human is closer to a clunky world war one biplane. In all honestly they have every right to feel superior, because they pretty much are, apart from the area of physical strength.
And creating slaanesh...basically they're f4 phantoms that see us as clunky, slow biplanes when we are actually A-10s
High and mighty thanks to enhanced senses and emotions. Hm. Explains a certain meme I found...
Also, I found the music: *Eldar Theme 2*.
Hay who new that Colonel Brom was living still.
They also make great smoothies :3
I sort of like that about them. Got in, did what they wanted, arranged for the aftermath to be more or less acceptable and got out.
The Imperium, Tau and possibly Chaos care about planets, Eldar don't (with a few exceptions).
Not according to the novelisation of the first game.
It's more likely they simply reusing Brom's model to represent some important. commander.
the best ending of this game
Especially when you consider that Guardsmen need Commisars to keep them from retreating.
necrons: Machines somehow able to live and beat the galexy once, then hibernated for no reason, and then were surprised when everything is alive again
the Farseer have the fastest regen rate of the game and a lot of good psyk attacks
The Eldar do not need resources, they need more people.
Quick question, but aren't the Eldar in the Kaurava campaign from Ulthwe? I don't know what colour scheme the Farseer has, but it definitely isn't Ulthwe. Anyone know what it is?
TheScribeInYellow It may just be the wargear that you can equip your Farseer with over the course of the campaign, that causes the colour change. Also, if I remember correctly: despite how the game portrays it, generally the colour schemes of Eldar armies isn't craftworld specific, but rather, Aspect Warrior specific. For example, all Dark Reapers have variations of black/dark colour schemes, all Warp Spiders have red/white colour schemes, Striking Scorpions have greens, etc, according to the codex-books that Games Workshop release.
artificialisdeus I think the Guardians, Vehicles and Wraith-constructs carry the Craftworld's color scheme, plus the Aspect Warriors carry the name or logo of their Craftsworld on their tabard or somewhere on their armor, if I am not mistaken.
game developers fuck ups when filming, and then going bust prior to release, so a third party had to cobble it all together and sell it quick, hence why certain races films have conflicting colour schemes, one shot they're all the black and white of Ulthwé, the next they're farseer looks like that of Lyanden, then again back to Ulthwé in next shot.
Same with the Tau, and I think one or two other races, I forget which now since my games broken and I have to rely on these videos uploaded.
this ending is pretty cool it makes eldars look good :)
i only had dawn of war and winter assualt and dark crusade and i might get this 1 if i know which factions are in this 1..?
Imperial Guard:FOR TEH EMPRA! We dont care how many millions of men we lose as long as our leader is happy!
Yes, individually, they are good units. Again though, it is a problem of both meneuverability and durability. They may be alright when you look at them individually, but collectivly, they are still lacking. Also, with the maneuverability part, I find that they tend to be easy to destroy because I fortify my base and they run up and they get torn apart before they can run. Also, the rest of the units I find tend to depend on the banshees for cover from the enemy. Kill the banshees, and their done
@Fr3k3 lore whise yes humans always favored in dawn of war. out of all game sonly time humans didnt come out on top was winter assault and thats cus eldar only ones who properly equiped to handle necrons (had secret weapon)
Thats quite a significant loss. The way they're willing to sacrifice large amounts of land such as in the defence of Alaitoc simply because it's the best ending is also good considering other factions would probably lose more lives defending inpractical areas.
Eldar and Space Marines are my favorite factions
the eldar came,kicked ass,then left
Gotta love the Eldars for letting the Imperium colonize all but a single planet
@PopeWithDaScope boreale lost thou . it says it in the dawn of war 2 story line . not sure who did win
@Fr3k3 That was the Cannon, yes
@donlovedog
"aaah... longest piss in imperium historae, I do hope they get the fething latrines up soon and.. wtf?!?! WHAT HAPPEND TO MY BASE!?!"
pylons make a good anti-warp generator. Its what protects the Cadian Gate
eldars are the fewest of all races, so they have to spare every soldier.
Well, the thing is half the time the Farseers don't quite know what they mean. Regardless, if there is some heavy-duty Necron or Chaos stuff happening, they are likely to... be interested.
Bloodraven654: I don't know. It seems in the 40K storyline the Eldar would be willing to do anything to preserve their race. The Tau also seem to be very good diplomats. If they did the Imperium would likely be crushed.
that is why they have intense loyalties to the god-emperor. And if that fails their are thousands of imperial forces ready to crush any rebelion lead by the week eldar. Face it they are just as good as imperial guardsman.
@pingaspwnspiness they only wanted to prevent the necron to be awaken there again and they would be awaken if there is a force there and settles there
As much as i know Imperium hasn't got one but GW might get some ideas for one!
1:46 is that Colonel Brom?
Only the exodites have planets and there aren't a lot of exodite planets.
The Dark eldar live in commoragh which is a big pirate city deed in the webway.
And the craftworld eldar live in giant city ships called craft worlds.
There some plantes with eldar ruines inside the Eye of terror I believe, but I doubt there still eldar living there.
