Thanks mate! Some really cool screens. I love the idea that you can customize your comander. Do you have the armour uprgades for space marines too? Got some screens? I love the DoW games, have them all exept dark crusade. I'll wait to buy it until I got my new computer. I will also by warhammer online and marhammer mark of chaos, can't wait ;D ;D

This is all double dutch to me... if i cant stick it in an xbox I generally don't know about it, but the screen shots are great for inspiration painting minis... may investigate more...are these games PC based and are they only for online play or can you thrash it out on your own?

The games are pc only, but you can play either on-line or by yourself, I was going to by the DoW with Winter Assault double pack but I think I will wait now and see if there is a set with all of them coming out.

DoW stands for Dawn of War, the first Expansopn was Winter Assault, and now there is this new one too.

I got this a couple of days ago....It really rocks. The campaign mode is very nicely done....kind of a RISK like overall game, then you fight the battles DoW style. You gain objectives and bonuses for taking over territories.
And a very cool feature, is that you DO NOT need to have the original DOW to play this. Everything you need is right in the box. You would only need the original to play any of the first 4 races (chaos, space marine, ork, eldar) ONLINE. But you can still play all 7 races in the campaign or in skirmish mode.
But, as Tim said, the first two games (DoW and Winter Assault) are availible in a 'gold edition'. Both very worthwhile games!
I wasn't even into anything Warhammer 40k until DoW came along....now I am started to collect Tyranids...(even though they don't make an appearance!!)

Seems you all find this entertaining. im getting dc today, so i'll get some cool screenys, plus customization officers for.. EVERY RACE! Oh yeah, menace, the demo is pretty annoying (i kept getting beaten until i gave my commander a fusion blaster and used a ton of krootox) but soon you get the hang of the tau.

I will wait until they release the anthology and get the whole set, and then I might be offline forever.

I will by a brand new gaming pc in november/december and I will buy Dark crusade and the two new warhammer games. Then I might be offline for.......half a year? ;D ;D
The demo kinda sucked, buy Tau ruled. Use the commander and five or six tau warrior squads + some skyrays against dreads, then you'll own both missions (if you use your army right).
Can't wait to play online ;D
