[Khan]

Yeah that's the one, it looks so awesome!

[Cyborg]

The latter was one of the best ingame screenshots I've ever seen.

[thomas]

I like like it alot too, oh anf the game comes out fall of 2004  ;D

[Anathema]

The graphics look awesome. Will there be a demo release?

[fremfedeliteNIAC]

The warhammer 40,000 universe sounds so good. I can't belive don't know anything about it, im gunna read about it I think.

I hope this game really gets into the plot.

NEW SCREENS!!!!!

[Terror]

cool... although the orcs seem to be a bit powerful here :) . Chopping down space marines with blunt axes :)

[Jack Leaf]

Those look awesome, but I seriously think those orcs should get mohawks. ;)

[Procyon]

I don`t understand the Warhammer universe. Is based on sci-fi or fantasy/medieval??? And why orcs in space!!

[fremfedeliteNIAC]

I don't think the orcs are like.. floating in space.. theyve just inhabited loads of planets.

[Procyon]

lol orcs floating in space!!  I mean what you said: Why orcs in other planets instead of aliens.

[Jack Leaf]

Lol that's one of the most stupid statements I've ever heard... Orcs are just as aliens as Zerg in SC...

And WH40k is sci-fi based. It's year 40 000 and there is some kind of massive war waging around. Or something.

[thomas]

orks are very primitive tribe like race

[Jack Leaf]

Makes me wonder how they have changed only that little in almost 40,000 years. :S

[EWS]

Yes guys I am pleased to announce this.

THQ reveals fourth race in Warhammer strategy game

THQ has revealed the fourth playable race in Relic's upcoming real-time strategy game: the Eldar.

Publisher THQ has revealed the fourth playable race in its upcoming real-time strategy game, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War. The game will draw inspiration from Games Workshop's sci-fi themed Warhammer 40,000 universe, and previously, THQ had revealed that three of the game's four playable races would be the human Space Marines, the Orks, and Chaos, and the fourth race will be the Eldar, a race of humanoids with powerful psychic abilities and an excellent military infantry.

Quite possibly the best news for a long time!

[lowzeewee]

Er...how did the orcs land on the planet? If they were not there all along, then could they have used space travel to get there? O_o They can't be using spaceships while they still hold axes...

How come the orcs can't get exterminated though their weaponery is so sucky?Wouldn't their numbers start decreasing at the rate that technology advanced? O_o

[Jack Leaf]

They are space orcs, they have spaceships. And some were already on Earth.

[thomas]

wrong wrong and wrong again.

the onlt race on earth are humans, the orcs developed on other planets far from earth and got their crude technology from human explorers who they promtly killed and used their stuff

[Jack Leaf]

Well at least I tried....  :'(

;)
