Yay! POW! ZAP! I have WH40K Dawn of War!

[DinoDoc]

Ok I got past the Avatar mission and I've got to a mission where I have to capture Imperial Relics from the hands of Chaos and prevent them from releasing the Maledictum (sp). Any suggestions on the strat I should use?

PS I Land Raiders!

[DinoDoc]

Never mind. 3 Terminator squads appeared and from there the map just solved itself. Now to figure out how to kill the Bat**** Librarian.

[DinoDoc]

Land Raiders prove thier worth yet again. The Librarian died very quickly to 2.

[Jamski]

Heh, those free terminators on that map are overkill. I had 6 free tanks from the Guards, 3 free squads (=45 men) of Guards, my full squad cap of marines, and then ~BAMM!~ I got a bunch of terminators and a force commander, taking me happily WAY over the squad cap

Hehehe, that map was just mop-up after that.

Landraiders are pretty darn good, aren't they. They make up for the Marines not having a "super unit" like the Avatar, Bloodthirster or Squiggoth.

Do we ever find out why he put Cyrene to the torch? Granted I haven't finished the campaign yet but it's an interesting thread I'd like to see tied up.

[DinoDoc]

I hate the Demon Prince and the Eldar are utterly useless allies. I need help figuring out what type of forces are needed to finish the map.

[Barinthus]

Mm I'll have to download the demo if there is one and check it out

I found Dreadnoughts, upgraded with lasers and deepstriked worked wonders. Oh, and send 2 squads of Marines with 2xFlamers & 2x HvyBolters to back up the Eldar. They actually do an ok job of taking a lot of flak for you. As you ramp up the difficulty, the Eldar AI becomes a LOT better, and they become really helpful.

[DinoDoc]

How many Dreadnoughts would you suggest? Would you suggest trying to lure him into a fortified position surrounded by bolter or missile turrets in addition to dropping the Walkers onto the field?

[Barinthus]

Mmm according to a review, only Space Marines have a single-player campiagn with 11 missions. Other races do not have their own single player games. Is that correct?

[DinoDoc]

Yes, that's correct.

PS I finished the campaign using a squad of Terminators, 4 Lascannon equiped Dreadnaughts, a Land Raider, and a Lascannon equiped Predator blasting the hell out of the Demon Prince. The Eldar proved to be more useful one I saved thier asses from the initial assault.

[Jamski]

Oh I'd never build turrets. Its very bad value for money. Try not to get into the turret and turtle mindset, as there's almost no way to compete against mobile agressive warfare if you waste the requesition. For the cost of a turret you can get an upgraded squad that has much more firepower, and can MOVE and CAPTURE.

And if you've hit the squad cap, and the vehicle cap, then its far too late to be base building. All those squads don't achieve anything unless they're out there capturing territory, or at least denying it to the enemy.

This is one game where you have to be agressive.

How is this in multiplayer?

Currently I and my freinds play Starcraft. But that has gotten sort of old for the level we play at (we generally like playing cooperatively, and 2 of us can beat 3 computer players in 20 minutes at normal speed (we don't want to speed up, and playing versus is not generally done, although sometimes is)).

Yeah. Turrets are completely useless except for preventing early scout rush / ork boy rushes. Once the enemy has a single unit with rocket launcher, all of your turrets are basically obsolete.

Awsome.

Although it was sometimes hard to get a game going without lag or drop outs in the BETA... hopefully they worked out some latency and disconnect errors since then.

[DinoDoc]

Turrets weren't useless during the single player campaign in my experience. How ever they likely are useless in multiplayer.
