I probably play chaos as well but thats depending on what Traitor chapter's they are going to put in, in the TT game i have armies of DeathGuard, Iron Warriors and Black legion, if i don't play Chaos, probably Space marines.

That's a tough decision. I play the TTWG and all, but I find that most people online that play 40k-based games talk like idiots and think it's fluffy. You're either going to see a bunch of imbeciles across the country typing "4 teh 3mp0r3r!!!!" or "'ere we go! de orkz r comin!" or "Die, worshippers of the false Emperor!" It's been studied and proven.

Your best bet is to play the race who can annihilate the most annoying of these race-obssessed fanboys. For me that would be Loyalist Marines, just because I've already made DIY chapters and such and I think it'd be a lot more fun.

Not to mention, I feel obligated to serve and defend teh 3mp3r0r.

Marines all the way. Since the first time I laid my eyes on wh40k I´ve been a fan of the emperors finest.

The Legio Invicta can only be loyal to The Emperor.

Hard to say. Considering that this game doesn't reflect the gameplay of the TTWG, every race here is going to have its own distinct style of play.

I'm more of a micromanager, so having few number of tough units is probably the way I'm going. So that's either Space Marines or Chaos over the Orks.

Space Marines, hopefully I can use my Highlander Dragoon's Chapter in multiplay also. Mod support!!!

Da boyzs
unless mystery is tyranids or possibly tau
I've always liked orks but the fact is after my tyranid army im kinda burnt out on taking 15 minute movement phase
128 gaunts is just overwhelmingly hard to control

what is a gaunt its not some tiranid copy of the commisar is it ? :spin:

No, he means orks, possibly "grunts"

5th Apr 04, 1:56 PM
No!!! not the bloomin' space marines (NOI)
I don't know what it is... but when I play and the enemy is :censored: space marines, it raises every angry thought in my body. I feel that the space marines on the table top look bland and in the books they worship a dead man in a brass chair. I am prepared for... :bricks: ... but thats my opinion

its Tau, Tau, Tau for me

Maximus Decimus
5th Apr 04, 2:15 PM
nanolathe: you my friend need to keep your opinions to urself cause all you are doing is attempting to start a flame war between the tau and marines. This will get you nowhere and on many diff forums ppl who behave this way are just ignored so if you dont have anything thoughtful to contribute do not post at all.

Hopefully the mystery race will be Eldar, in which case I will play them, otherwise, who knows.... maybe chaos.

5th Apr 04, 2:28 PM
Da boyz or if the mystery race is Eldar then Biel-Tan shall see the empire forged anew!

Maximus Decimus
5th Apr 04, 2:35 PM
Fable: chaos has already been confirmed and so has a blood thirster. I am voting for eldar to be the race but who knows how close we are to the truth.

5th Apr 04, 4:51 PM
erm i was refering tot he 128 gaunts in my tyranid army way to hard to contorl which is what turned me off frmo doing a ork army
orks tend to field similar numbers but with better stats

XSKiith
5th Apr 04, 4:53 PM
We’ll I’ve voted for the mystery race in that hope that it’s Eldar but I’d still vote that way if it was nids or even the IG.

5th Apr 04, 5:19 PM
Im definetly gonna be chaos but only if they have World Eaters and if you can design your Chaos Lord or they have Kharn The Betrayer. If they dont then im gonna be Space Marines.

Gaunt is the basic bug of the Tyranid army, short for Hormagaunt or Termagaunt. Usually come in huge swarms.

Ultramarines are my favs, but I've played them in nearly all the 40K computer games. This time I'm playing Chaos!

BYE

Shakrith
5th Apr 04, 11:31 PM
I hope Eldar are in. If so, then i will play as them. But, if they or the necrons aren't, then space marines.

Imperial Guard
6th Apr 04, 7:06 AM
I hope the mystrey race is IMperial Guard....
with LOTS of tanks:)

** Sir hand me my bolter**

**Runs head long inot battle blasting orkz left and right, limbs flailing and crashing, but wait, there stands a mighty chaos champion teleporting into the fray, he wields a blade of chaos, marine and ork blood seeping his armor, the cries of captured souls eridate from his armour, I drop my bolter and un-hinge my chaisword and run head long into combat with my new foe, then out of no where comes a killer can, lumbering left and right under its massive waddling hydrolics. This is a true battle.**

Now how can I choose a race I wanna play when they are all so fragin cool, I only choose marines because that kinda includes the 2 in one... Chaos/Loyal.. both soo cool... and dont even get me started on how appealing controling a mob of lunatics would be with the orks... especialy when a lunatic is controling the lunatics :p

6th Apr 04, 8:16 AM
If the mystrery race is Necron or Tau then I'll play them otherwise it'll probly be the marines

mr_mich
6th Apr 04, 9:14 AM
It depends on how the requisition system works out. If it allows for frequent reinforcements under most conditions, then I will most definitely be orks.

Otherwise I'll have to start changing colors and making badges for my SM chapter. :)

6th Apr 04, 10:39 AM
Chaos, and maybe marines, depending on what the options are

6th Apr 04, 11:19 AM
I haven't played the table to game (though I wish I could) but I really like the DaemonHunters.So probably Space marines.
BTW Will Blood Angels and Black Templars be included as a chapter?

PlasmaBomb
6th Apr 04, 12:52 PM
The pole forgot the option to play as all the sides, one after the other, or at the same time depending on you mood :cowboy:

6th Apr 04, 12:58 PM
I think it's funny that so many people want to play Chaos even though we've seen/heard just about nothing on them yet.

I chose the Mystery Race. I'm hoping that it's either Eldars :agree: or tyranids. If it's not Eldars then I'd go with Chaos. Cause you just know they are going be evil sons of bitches. :flamer:

TS_ahriman
7th Apr 04, 5:05 PM
Probably chaos.

Eisenhorn
7th Apr 04, 10:45 PM
Why so few orks:( i mean space boyz caos boyz.... its all the same for morks sake:)


If, and only if, the mystery race is eldar i might think playing those. It would be cool seing a skimmer or a eldar guardian outrunning just about evrything:) .

orks rocks the world around didnt u gyes know that:) (=no orks no 40k, get it)

The Dark Angels shall see the Emperor's work done in this game, and I shall make sure of it. The 1st of the 1st, and the best of the best.

I will probably start playing Space Marines for a while, but I got a feeling that I will swich over to the Orks. I would love to ear my Orkies do a long and powerful WAAAAG When they charge.

11th Apr 04, 5:44 PM
id do chaos, they are my armys (Imperial Guard) total enemy so i have to try them out! :talk:

thats my fault. i will try to edit the poll so you can select more then one option. good call btw :).

[edit] polls can not be edited... perhaps in the future a hack may fix this, but as of right now.. the poll stays as is.

12th Apr 04, 5:03 AM
Space Marines.
That'll be my choice.
I will play ALL races, but SM is my optional choice.
And Space Wolves. Accept no substitudes.

12th Apr 04, 6:35 AM
Mystery race. Banking on it being a cool race...

hybris
12th Apr 04, 2:59 PM
"Mystery" Eldars for me.
I pray to Khaine it is, since I it would be yet another waste of game engine, if this game was without this precious race...
Btw; havent Relic figured out themselves by now, the potential market in making follow-ups with add on races for this game? It would be really nice to have at least twice the amount of race choices in multiplayer... Wow.

Uzgah
12th Apr 04, 4:08 PM
Got to agree with you on the amrketable properties of expansions that bring in new races to the game, for multiplayer and, hopefully, new SP campaigns.
Unfortunately, the big 'but' here is, DoW has to be successful first. Otherwise, the publishers won't commission expansions for a 'failing' product. Whcih would be a great shame. I for one would like to see the majority of araces, if not all of them, represented in the game.

ObsceneName
12th Apr 04, 4:17 PM
Heh i like how mystery race is the top its kinda funny everys one hoping it will be the army they play but its probably gonna be eldar or ig but i wish it was tyranids oh well For the green tide

Law_1620
12th Apr 04, 4:22 PM
I will play the Marines and Chaos mostly. If they bring in the Eldar I will check them out too. Hopefully it won't be the Nids, don't need another "zerg" race just yet.

There not zerg..
Zerg are nids... mister
Even then nids are different then zerg closest thing they relly on numbers and they used alien biomass for stuff sure they have control guys but none of theirs can attack and arnt as cool

Tigurius
12th Apr 04, 4:43 PM
Yeah, I dont think the nids should be in the game YET(although it would be really cool!). I do play the Nids, but I think that making another swarm race would be not such a great thing to do. But arnt there 2 secret races? One for the story line and one for multiplayer? For the storyline I highly think its going to be the deamon hunters. Why you ask? Well like I may have mentioned before, it fits in with the story line just great. Your a Blood Raven commander that is set to kill the Orks, you find out there is more going on that you thought(Chaos?). Than once you fight Chaos for a while the Deamon Hunters come in to the rescue. Anywho I have no idea what the multiplayer race is going to be.

More importantly, what's awesome is we'll be seeing all our favorite units (probably)! I can't wait to field obliterators, especially since they were updated.

I cant beleve the Orks have such low ratings, i mean the marine teams are all the same for gods sake....

15th Apr 04, 1:28 AM
Most definitely the Eldar, if they are even included in the game.

Eisenhorn
15th Apr 04, 2:49 AM
yea i totaly agrea with u, the orks rocks, but to se a eldar guardian run on the open plains in this game would rock even harder:)

15th Apr 04, 3:01 AM
whats funny is so many people have voted for a race that hasnt been revealed yet

YOU WILL ALL BE PLAYING SPACE MARINES...............MUUUHAHAHAHA

At least until you finish the single player ;)

Eisenhorn
15th Apr 04, 12:33 PM
I probably wont even play the singel player caus the SM, but after youre post RogueFox i defenatly wont play it. I seriusly hate all cinds of SM team, chaos as loyalist.
so stop scareing people will ya :)

Law_1620
15th Apr 04, 1:49 PM
I will play them all except orks(not a big fan). I think the reason everyone voted for the mystery race is because no matter who it is, you know it will rock.

15th Apr 04, 5:53 PM
I will probably play the Orks, but only after I see how they are played and if I like it. Ok I know about the Orks in 40k and its the same thing. But I would like to See how they are played. I would really hate to go on multiplayer and see 4 Space Marines and maybe once in a while Chaos. It would get boring really fast. I would be one of those people that wouldnt care if I lose(sometimes), just as long I had fun and most importantly my opponent had fun also.

16th Apr 04, 11:15 AM
what will i play as CHAOS CHAOS CHAOS CHAOS CHAOS
