Dawn of War - Warhammer 40000

The latest download of DoW2 on Steam did some good stuff. The first thing I noticed was Chaos showing up in some of the selection windows. "You must purchase stuff to use this" I was upset that I had to sit through a massive download for them to tease me with the expansion stuff. Fuckers.

That is, until I played another skirmish. Space Marines can now add Lascannons to the Pred and Dread. Eldar came at me with some Wraithguard who hurt my infantry FAST. The Marines now have a librarian unit as well as some other unit upgrades. That's all I've noticed so far. I think Troy is the only one that plays this right now. But if others have it, I HIGHLY recommend checking out the new content to the main game.

I heard the expansion added a few new units for each side, I'll have to check it out.

I got your message, and I am down. I'll log on to Steam through out the weekend so you can contact me.

It's been a long time since an update to a game has blown me away. This one does. Just fought the Chaos army. Holy shit do they have some cool units. I've noticed a fair number of changes to my army as well. Plasma cannons fuck infantry up. In groups. I was starting to think Marines were way under powered the way I'd get mowed down by some armies/units. But, I'm learning the new strengths of my army/units and pushing back. Just played an hour long battle pushing forward, getting pushed back, etc. At one point, I thought the AI gave up. I marched across the map collecting all of the resource points. When I went for his base, I ran into MEGA units that were insane. Beat the shit out of me and took the whole map back. He was turtling! I found that assult terminators are the shit and was able to push back again.

I REALLY like the few new units they gave each army. Playing against Chaos makes me want to buy the expansion so I can play as them. I like the new powers the units have. Just all around way good changes. Made a really fun game kick even more ass.

I can't wait to see what they do with Tau (hopefully).
