View Full Version : Dawn of War: Dark Crusade RobtheGuru August 12th, 2006, 19:05 Just so you know, Grey Knights are going to be able to be taken as Allies in the Space Marine armies. Go to here (http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/warhammer40000dawnofwarexp2/news.html?sid=6155709&tag=topslot;action;4) for a write up and video clip. They seem overpowerful, although thats based purely on the fact i've never actually lost a berserker squad to a squad of Grey Knights in CC :lol:
They do however look cool as hell :lol: Crimsonfist Guy August 12th, 2006, 20:27 are you sure its not a movie with the daemon hunters mod? RobtheGuru August 12th, 2006, 20:42 Because its Gamespot and i dont know them to ever make a mistake? I aint saying it couldn't happen though lol Tenozuma August 13th, 2006, 04:13 No I think thats for real as i've heard from someone that grey knights are the new space marine unit, chaos get daemon princes, orks get flash gitz I think... and eldar get.... HARLEQUINS! RobtheGuru August 13th, 2006, 06:26 I would have preferred to see Bloodletters or Flesh hounds <E!_Mance> August 13th, 2006, 10:14 What about the Good old LRC? When will the Marines get that? Lordofchange August 13th, 2006, 12:27 No to the LRC, but the videos are indeed authentic. You'll also get a much greater level of character customisation - this COULD lead to such things as a nurgle, tzeentch, slaanesh or khorne lord for chaos, most definitey things like marine commanders with specific weaponry and gear like jump packs.
LoC Da Mighty Camel August 13th, 2006, 22:01 Wow, this seems to be awasome! I just need to see them Harlequins then! sentinel5000 August 13th, 2006, 23:50 What is an LRC? Apparently, you can only have one unit of grey knights because they are so strong. GIJedi August 14th, 2006, 00:10 Grey Knights, YEEEHAAA!! Now I really can't wait for the expansion now. Lets hope they will be better than the daemonhunters mod for DOW. Well with one squad, you should be able to pretty much mop up most of the map with them. Da Mighty Camel August 14th, 2006, 00:20 What is an LRC?
Land Raider Crussader. Oafe August 14th, 2006, 05:39 There is a Harliqen (or however you spell it) mod for DOW:WA. Ive played it for a bit and I can say now that it is very, very different from any other race, and hard to play with as well. If Harliqens are going to be part of this next one, it will really add a new level to the game. DEADMARSH August 16th, 2006, 13:06 I'm kinda disappointed in the Imperium's new units. GKs for the SMs and heavy weapon teams for the Guard? Whatever.
As for the SMs, I would've much rather seen something besides another late-stage infantry unit. I never make terminators as it is, I can't imagine I'll be using the GKs. I mean, what about bikes? Or as E Mance said, throw in the LRC.
For the Guard, I dunno. A valkyrie or some other flyer would've been cool and unique. Unless they come out quick, I'll never make a heavy weapons team either. Hell, half the time, I'm so set up with russes, bassies, and the baneblade, I never bother making ogryns or kasrkins.
I don't usually whine about stuff like this, but this is just kinda disappointing.
Ah well. It'll be interesting to see what all units the Tau and Necrons end up with. | |
