You half to join the magazine like I do but thenew race will be the Dark Eldar, also it might not be develpoed by Relic because who knows maybe because there working on DOW2? BUT A NEW EXPANSION YES!!! UPDATE, they took it off the magazine site but just look at the relic forums or google it. There saying more info on the 30th of this month.

[Torquemada Coteaz]

It's understandable for an expansion to be Non-Relic, because the gameplay framework and all that is already made. (and true relic probably is working on DoW2)

However, I'm still thinking EWWWW NON RELIC.

lmao sorry =/

[Night Shadow]

That is what I am thinking, there making DOW2 and having a 3rd party to make an expansion in order to hold us over or to maybe link the stoires together or both.

[Torquemada Coteaz]

I'm not much of a fan of Dark Eldar (Dark Elves are a diff story)

But since this is DoW I'll probably buy it anyway.

As will I, just to see what they do.

[Templar Mikeel]

Sometimes non-relic is better. Ever taken a look at the Tyranid mod? Inquisitionaemon Hunt mod? Even though the 'Nid mod isn't finished yet, those two mods, especially the IDH mod are much better than relics quality.
Also, from what I hear, I'm not looking forward to either DoW2 of DoWSS.

[Torquemada Coteaz]

Note that relic gave the framework for all those and it's really just a matter of switching in models and fixing DLLs and INIs and stuff to "do stats"

oh and did i mention that relic didnt take much time in between the games to get next one out with full new armies.
ESPECIALLY when GW is involved with the IP ?

[Templar Mikeel]

Oh, GW IP, good point.

I hate how people always think game coding and **** is so simple...

[Torquemada Coteaz]

lol yeah its not
I would know. I've tried. :P

oh hey, does anyone else feels like they're probably only gonna buy it to "complete the series?"

[Cagarner]

I just hope they dont make the Dark Eldar overpowered. Also, i hope they stick to the fluff aswell. Previous DOW's under Relic did quite well at that, but this is another company and may not be as good as they are not as experienced....

Though there is the chance that it may even better :-)

[Baron Spikey]

hmm I cant see Dark Eldar being that good really...considering the way the game is played (build defensive base and try to keep a strong presence in the strangle holds near it [at least thats how i play])and the fact that players are already used to the trickery of the craftworld eldar, the dark eldar just wont be able to use their speed effectively. Unlike TT, DOW is much harder to use complex tactics that are neccessary for the DE to win- still I may be wrong and they'll bring out some really decent units that will translate well in a RTS.

Im just hoping that eventually there will be some maps with proper fortifications so you can play siege games.

[Night Shadow]

Well there bringing in the DE so maybe the gameplay itself might be tweaked who knows.

[Spartan2154]

I think THQ is having 3rd parties kind of hold us over until thier next big move, this, Soulstorm business is a good way to add another race and keep us entertained for a while longer...

[Night Shadow]

I agree, also maybe some more addedsecrets to. We will find out more on the 30th. CAN'T WAIT!!!

[Wakim]

Don`t think i`ll enjoy it that much, but i will enjoy it 40k + relic = nice

[Spartan2154]

I think ill end up getting it, haha. I need something to tide me over till DOW2 er sumthing else really fun... though im not a big eldar fan...i mean c'mon, when you plays as the orkz and u c the eldar the first time, they say " puny eldar, you can send 'alf da boyz 'ome"
lol

[Templar Mikeel]

Thats why I suggest downloading a mod or two. Everybody likes the inquisition or Tyranids more than the DE.

[Spartan2154]

Yeah thats wat i do anyways, cept the tyranids mod, like you said, isnt finished so its kinda lame... i find comfort in non-race adding mods, like the realism mod. cause with mods like that you essentially have 7 new races cus it modifies all of them.

[Cirative]

Yeah, Dark Eldar don't really seem like the best addition considering the other options, but oh well.

[lord marcus]

we're getting closer to info time!! and also, i'm going to buy both cause no matter what DoW i play, it will still be DoW, ANNNDDD, soul storm has ariel units!!

What other options?

Nids are reserved for DoW 2, that`s been settled a long time ago so we`ve only got the Ordo Hereticus and the Dark Eldars. Ordo Mallous are seriously unlikely to ever get their own DoW army

So basicly, we`re getting all we can get *hint*OrdoHereticuswillbein*hint*

PS That`s unless you`re talking about the other 40k civilizations i`d fullheartedly play a Demiurg or Monkey army

[boundy]

Sisters of battle are cool but i would have prefered tyranids. Dark eldar are awsome, should be interesting to fight whith and against them and the aerial units should be fun to pound my foes with
