Dawn Of War!
<div class="IPBDescription">WH40k RTS</div> Looks like Warhammer 40k is finally going to have a video game that lives up to the original! I kinda stopped playing a couple years ago but what I've seen so far seems pretty exciting. Apparently you can play Space Marines, Chaos, Eldar and Orks, and they all have customizable colors and icons/banners.
Onto the goods,
A trailer has been released fairly recently... you can pick it up here:
<a href='http://www.thq.co.uk/download.php?ResIndex=11932' target='_blank'>50MB Quicktime</a>
<a href='http://www.thq.co.uk/download.php?ResIndex=11931' target='_blank'>19MB Quicktime</a>
A bunch of videos from E3 are available at gamespot:
<a href='http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/wh40kdawnofwar/media.html' target='_blank'>http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/wh40kd...fwar/media.html</a>
The streams are free but you need to be a paying member to download them...
And here's a pretty neat screenshot:

Never really played/seen WH40k, but this looks pretty nifty, looking forward to it.
I'm gonna buy this game simply on the basis that there's an old guy with a dutty great hammer, who smashes dragon's heads in.
On a very similar note... Wow, I've never seen that screenshot of the jetpack Space Marines (Assault Squad, of course), glad I came here!
well i didnt looks like a good game <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
*proceeds to check the movies*
edit: ...Did I just see a chaplain kicking the s*** out of that demon? That totally kicked ****.

The thing I'm most peeved about Dawn Of War though is it doesn't feature the Imperial Guard which are the coolest army settings-wise. I mean we can all sypathise with a group of men forced into a war a little more than a whole load of genetically enhanced people in huge armour.
Plus the Imperial Guard ave tanks, and Kommissars.....

Nope, the chapter in the game is a successor chapter to the Blood Angels, not the Blood Angels themselves, hence no Death Company.
</nerd>
I hate death company anyway for reasons which I won't go into now. *cough twentyfourinchchargerange* *cough*
I'm wondering how the gameplay is going to turn out - I'm hoping for more RT Tactical than RT Strategy, but the video looked pretty...choatic. Very cool to be sure (those animations and models were lovely) but maybe not so fun to play. I'm reserving judgement until the demo, though, as I recognise that tactics wouldn't have made for as good a video. (:

Bzzzt, wrong. They're NOT a successor chapter. For anyone interested, the DoW foums are <a href='http://forums.relicnews.com/forumdisplay.php?f=90' target='_blank'>here</a>.
I'd also highly recommend you watch the <a href='http://www.3ddownloads.com/relicnews/Dawn%20Of%20War/DOW_E32004_gameplay_HQ.wmv' target='_blank'>E3 gameplay video</a>. You have to wait in que, and it weighs in at a hefty 141.56 mb but its <i>well</i> worth the download, being 17 minutes of juicy info.
played 40k since i was 6 (been 10 years now) and i just love it, and shame onto anyone who calls it childish <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Is anyone else expected an easter egg where you can play as Squats for a level? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
