Shame about only playing as Dark Eldar - but oh well, it's only a demo.
I want the full version now! (please)
Thank you god you finally posting this!!!!! it had an 8 hour load on my 4 gig CPU with hi-speed internet and when it finally finished I couldnt unzip it! with this it 25 minutes and unzipped fine!!
cheers filefront! 
lol ive playedbe4 nuthing specile dark eldar vs sm lol is this one demo?
 
All we need now is a SoB demo. Then my life is complete.
to bad dark eldar have no turrets
dark eldar seem pretty good to me, better than i thought they would me. the fact that builders could build without actually building them kinda surprised me, but meh. not surprised we only got to use one of the two new factions in the demo like with the DC, and it was the lesser demanded one, again. i wanted to see the other new units besides the air units, but at least i saw what all the air units look like. although i wonder when you exit the game, it says "7 new units for the existing Dawn of War races" does that mean 7 units for each race or 7 new units total? 7 new units for each race seems kind of much, but then again only air units being new and whatever necrons are going to get just doesn't appeal to me as much. but whatever, i had fun with this demo. and thank god my comp can still run this game. it's so goddamn old.
I would download, but laptops can't take a lot of large dnloads, let alone 10 games and 3 other mods... and yes i have tried my desktop... looks amazing anyway
I played da demo da dark eldar aint dat big of a deal and their relic unit seems like a pussy if it cant use da dark matter beam and if some1 has got the balls its possible 2 pull da dark eldar race off da demo and put it on a mod but u'd get in some serious a$$ trouble 4 doing dat so do at ur free will 
The Dark Eldars are greats ! But the planes ... sucks. They are unrealistic
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA A AAA
the full version should be released instead! 
Ugh, I wasted an hour download this crap. So far soulstorm has been terrible. The air units are a joke, they are basically landspeeder-like units that hover a bit higher than normal. In one case it IS a landspeeder hovering high than normal.
[Please watch your language. Vulgarity is not permitted here. -Inyri]
i played the DoW: soulstorm demo and i cant say it is differnt from the past dow games ... i think we need DoW2 not expensions .. they only add new races, some new units and a few new effects ... you can play only the Dark eldar in demo. dark eldar are really close with other races, all the things are same ... only differnce is: when you make a building you just push to build it and then you can live it alone, it will complete by it self ( like undeads in warcraft 3 ) ... so i couldnt get what i want from soulstorm but it is only the demo, maybe the full game is differnt ...
this is a brilliant game which i hope will be released soon but the demo was a bit disapointing, for example as many have pointed out you can only play as one race which is a bit of a shame 2nd is the air units, i mean it is a good idea but the units should be more powerfull and a bit bigger they should be able to do bombing runs (first cutscene in winter assault where cultists get pwned by valkyries)
i was expecting something like a thunderhawk for sm or a valkyrie for ig but we get pathetic little planeswhich get taken down by light infantry (1 squad of warriors took down a sm land speeder tempest 
P.S the SM commander in the second mission on the demo sounds like a puff
All in all this demo was good, apart from one thing. While its loading the battles it shows you what flying units the old races are going to get. Most of them are pretty good choices, (spoiler alert: dont read the following if you dont want to get annoyed with Relic)but then I come to the space marine one, AND ITS NOt A THUNDERHAWK. Instead, they get the land speeder tempest, which isnt even a flyer. Its a SKIMMER. Im sorry if im ranting, but I'm really annoyed at this. Relic just made one of the stupidest choices ive ever heard of. Thery decide to add flying units, good. they have the model and some of the animations for the thunderhawk, good. they decide to ignore this and give space marines a SKIMMER, just plain idiotic. The thunder hawk is the only flyer the space marines have! If I email them they will just say someting about balance issues, but thats easy, jsut make it cost loads of resources and only let them have one. As far as I can see, theres no excuse. Again, sorry for ranting but I really am annoyed at this and Im sure Im not the only one.
disappointed that DE don't get grotesques
the stupid splinter cannons are heavy weapons??? There supposed to be assault weapons there is like only 1 heavy weapon a troop can choose from this is bull ***** it makes scourges ****ing retarted
Sorry to bother gentlemen but is the "Sisters of Battle" race the "Witch Hunter" race?
Yes. From reading all your comments I don't think I'm going to download this demo now. Disappointing intro scene. 
It is close.zBut Soulstorm won't have arbitres soldiers and also there will be a melle machine and if you look closely at the beggining movie(which the only thing i don't like is how the canoness steps on the ig general) they are white-not gold and black.But basically it is the same race.
The Dark Eldar are Awsome!! totally what i expected: Fast, Powerful but Not very resiliant.
The Raven air unit is perfect for quick scouting and short sharp strafe attacks, you can pull em in from ANY direction... i dont care if the SM get a tempest it will work!
The Demon beasts got re-skinned after the first screenies and now look brilliant, harvesting souls, new build ideas and the Dais of Destruction (AKA Asdrubael Vect for the hardcore members) has the single most visualy interesting and amazingly powerful abilities.
I give this demo 8/10 coz you cant get witch hunter
PS the new SM commander is a lil bland... and weak lol
Well, I tried the demo and I liked it. I'm not a tt player so I 'm probably easier to please. I really liked the corrupted, twisted feel of the dark eldar. Of all the models in the 40k universe the dark eldar models are certainly not the prettiest, but they do grow on you when you play them and the soulstorm modelers have done a very nice job in recreating them for this game.
There's one thing I do not like: The air units. They look good, but they do not feel like air units at all. They are way to small and look and behave like skimmers most of the time. They do not feel like a different kind of weapon compared to ordinary skimmers. They are actually superfluous the way they are implemented. Also I expected special anti-air weaponry to counter planes. But I don't think they are in the game. The dow engine just wasn't designed to handle air units and it shows. Nevertheless I will certainly buy this game.
I just hope there will be an option to disable airunits in the pre-game menu. That way I can play Dow Soulstorm the way it should be played... with my army's feet on solid ground. If not, I'm certain there will appear a mod in no time that will give us this option.
A new engine is needed to implement air units the way it should be done. Maybe air units are not a very good idea at all in a squad based game like this. I'll be patiently waiting for dow 2, and in the meantime I'll have fun with this new expansion.
would of been better if u could play all the races and just play skirmishs but some units were locked i was hoping 4 SoB but Dark Eldar seem to be kewl still 
well i really think the demos bad. first of all the airunits arnt even like airunints. infantry are more powerful than them and the jets(that bascially hover 4ft high) have like eldar pistols for guns.
I knew they should have done what C&C 3 did to planes, with the return to airbase when out of ammo part, or the fly around instead of staying in one place thing.
Still pretty good demo.
WHY DO SM GET A TEMPEST? IT'S A FREAKIN SKIMMER!
Its an expansion... a demo of an expansion at that. New races (trademark of all the other dows) new units (trademark as well). I think many of you were expecting a sequel instead of an expansion. As for air units... i can do without. All i need remotely airborne is orbital bombardments, this games just isn't an airborne kind of game. I really like Dark Eldar and Witch hunters though. Almost every race is covered in some way, and the tyranids are covered by talented modders.
yayayyayayayayayayayayayay yay!!!!!!!!
the warhammer 40k MMO page? its supposed to be coming out soon.
the soul storm demo is pretty good but the dark eldar definitly need turrets
We really don't need another expansion to this game, they don't add anything. What would be really nice is a new game, and it would be even better if it was based off of Warhammer 40K Epic instead. t would be so awsome to use all the tians and super units.
the flufff is yet again not exactly correct for any who have watched that SoB v Tau scene in Youtube (or whatever). SoB are not tanks. they would be more than trifled by hails of tau technosorcery fire too. they would win of course, armour nonwithstanding. the graphics seem a bit better tdetailed, a little more touch to clean the rough edges. or is that just me.
regardless, i wont dl demo, it will make getting the real one all the more sweeter (spitting out the pod that is flying vehicals  )
#30
You mean making the Titans Dreadnought size, and troops smaller than Gretchin size?
Hell yeah. Just add some Superunits for the fun of it, and it will be Epic.
I wasn't looking forward to this expansion, not too excited about either race, but after playing the demo I'm eager. The Dark Eldar are pretty cool and unique in that they are fast moving harassers with lots of powers and abilities. The units are really well done too, great designs and animations. Fighting for a solar system against eight other races sounds like a lot of expansion and a great challenge. Looking forward! For me, the only let down was the fliers, not horrible but, meh...
Lovely. I loved the demo
ow no! they've really stuffed it up this time!
there is no such beam weapon in all of WH40K that holds a sustained beam for 2 seconds, and the beam is blue!
multi meltas which are mistaken for Heavy flamers fire an orange beam for .5 seconds, heavy flamers dont altogther, and las cannons do shoot a blue flame but sisters of battle ( mostly, think they have some kind of devastator squad wif M-Meltas) cant carry them and the beam doesnt last so long. what looks like a heavy bolter in the screenshot is gravely mistaken
when i say a sustainded beam if u see the starting movie for ss then you will see them using plasma rifles the hold a beam for quite some time
this sounds wicked, and I am also pretty sure I am one of the few people who were actually more exited by the Dark Eldar than the Sob, now instead of just leaving it like that and having a bunch of people call me stupid or something, let me tell you my reasons:
1) I collect regular Eldar in TT so that instantly gives them some points for being of the same race, though I have always been more into the armies that ould be considered "good", which in my case is the Eldar and Tau, because from what i can see, Space marines are a bunch of over-rated, intolerant *****s who care for no more than the annihilation of any non human race, good reason or not. As for the Eldar, they fight primarily to survive, as it is a well known fact that they are a dying race, and the Tau fight for the "Greater Good" the details of which I am unclear of.
2) Far too many human armies for me to even care. For me WA was a large dissapointment, as I have very little interest in playing as a race that a) has like 10 different armies, and b) you can play as in pretty much anyother game of any genre. I honestly prefer when I can play as non human armies, as they are the most interesting, and that you are human in almost every video game in existance. The only human armies I have ever had an interest in are the Witch Hunters and the Daemon Hunters, because frankly they are the coolest of the human armies. So I am happy about the Sob, but not as much.
3) Honestly, you have to admit that there are way to many human armies, because (without getting into different chapters and other bullcrap like that, which does little more than confuse and infuriate me, as I honestly could care less about the difference between a Blood Angel and a Space Wolf, as far as I care they are Space Marines with different colors). So without getting into chapter/regiment bull*****, there are 4.5 main armies (the .5 is from the Chaos, who are only partially human) where as the only other race with multiple armies is the Eldar, which only have a good and bad side.
Either way I am not going to download this, mainly because it will just make me want more, and then I will never be able to wait till SoulStorm to come out, as SoulStorm marks, for me, the decline of Dow, as from hre all they can add are the rest of the human armies (lame) and the Tyranids, but I've heard that the original Dow engine doesn't support them (even though there is a succesful mod featuring them that looks fine, so in my head this is some bull***** covering that they are far too lazy to bother with such a diverse army) so I am not too exited about further expansions of the game, just DoW2.
(the following does not regard the mod, but is an important message brought to you by me) SPACE MARINES ARE OVER-RATED, they are only popular because they are the easiest army to use, and they are cool looking enough not to be called a bunch of losers. And I am damned sick of looking at the weekly polls when they involve anything to do with races, as the space marines always win. As far as I can see the only way for them NOT to win is to post polls where there is an actual answer, not a matter of opinion, for example, if the question was, which army is the greenest, and ther were two options, Space Marines and Orks, Space marines would still get some votes on account of the brainless Space Marine worshipping idiots that constantly click Space Marine, regardless of the question, and tilt every single poll in the favor of the Space Marines. Examples of polls that may or may not have been done:
Best Relic Unit: Winner-LandRaider Should have won-Monolith or Avatar (Because he increases squad and vehicle caps)
Best voices: Winner-Space Marines Should have won-Orks (only army that makes you laugh)
the list goes on, and it is obvious to me that in a poll where a bunch of idiots in armor talking about the emperor is cosidered better than orks shouting "We'ze all gonna die! or chanting "Orks, Orks, Orks, Orks" or simply saying "up yours" had obviously had a lot of participation from SM fanboys/worshippers. So in the end, all I have to say is forget about some guy in a golden throne and go fight for the greater good or something, I don't care
I'M NOT CRAZY! YOU'RE CRAZY! I'M JUST THE ONLY NORMAL ONE!
Out of intrest does anyone else get small pink circles with question marks in following the chaplain around the game?
sisters of battle arnt in the demo D:
This is awsome becouse i collect dark eldar But whe, why did the modellers put the most idiet head to the Warriors! it looks stupid!!! (but the spikes are cool) check the other heads at http://www.gamesworkshop.com -> warhammer 40k -> dark eldar -> miniatures range -> dark eldar warriors
Calm down, its just a game. Also at Chaos marines make a hilarious laughing sound when they die and listening to a Force Commander groaning "Emperor forgive me" while hes being eaten by a squiggoth is pure gold!
pretty good although the chaplain has a missing decal
Great demo. Dark Eldar seem rather unique, but will fit in well with the other races. Will definitely be preordering.
Its nice but i dont liek the Dark eldar
(#7 ive got around 10 games + 10 mods for DC on my Laptop and it runs fine)
this is a dissapointing demo for a brilliant game.
and if you dont like it delete it simple as that.
i think the intro movie was epic, its like watching a trailer for a W40k movie
but the air units are...... not so good if anything they could be made more powerfull because they can be taken down by anyone but i like the eldar vehichles like the raider cos its cool to look at and its like a mobile weapons platform
also i love the dais of destruction not because of its power (cos it could be stronger) but it looks realy cool its like they have copied the big platforms in star wars (u know. with the pit with the big monster) and added fire power
i mean its even got the slave girls on it! (look close on the dais of destruction and you will se two slave girls ........ NICE! (add borat voice)
and to all those who have said to make a new game instead of expansions
whats the point? if you made a new game it would have:
same races.
new races.
which if i am correct is EXACTLY WHAT AN EXPANSION DOES!
(and if you think about it DAWN OF WAR 2 sounds a bit gay.)

...it shows u Orks in that pic but only race u use is the Dark Eldar wich is pretty dumb
2/10
1.for the demo releasing
2.for the fact that u get only eldar...
I liked the demo. Im not really interested in playing as the sisters so its cool. I really dont have an issue with the flying units because most races use hovercraft which makes sence why they float. Except for the mon'keigh races then its weird. The dark eldar were how they are in tt(basically) fast, can dish out a hard hit but cant take a punch. The only odd thing is that wyches, scourges, warp beasts (I believe) and hellions are supposed to be light infantry (except for warp beast which I think count as... beasts) But despite this it looks like if this race gets rushed it would be obliterated cause of the weak t1 units and archon is patheticly weak (although soulstorm is an awesome ability he gets)and incubi are only good as meat sheilds till the upgrades. But I digress.
After i post this some nut is going to track me down and shoot me in the head but i think that the dark eldar are OP in the demo (or im just good) because i barely lost any basic troops which i did build so i found that kinda disappointing but it is a good demo and should be a great final game, if it doesnt get delayed
omg i got a 13 hour wait
#47, yea but they are only overpowered because the demo is set to easy
if you play the DC campaign in easy you find ur men litterally walking over even the strongest units... Eg 1 SM is equal to 1 CSM but in easy 1 SM could take out 2 CSM.
Go dark eldar!! Possibly the best race yet... Eldar plus Chaos... what more can we kill freaks crave for??
U know... I think your right, ig, chaos, and orks are my fav races.... DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR AND HIS IMMORAL LACKEYS!!!
As for the air, thunderhawk isnt only sm air, you could also use stormbirds : /
IG needs about 3 flyers on the other hand... lightnings, mauraders (which I hear they are currently getting) and thunderbolts
Orks should get a Kammikaze plane driven by a gretchin or gretchin artillery (rocket with a grot on top guiding it lol).
what would necron air be?.... no comment...
Tau are fine, eldar could be sleek and crap, chaos could use flying deamons for all I care.
anyone know what please insert disk 1 that contains file layout bin means cause it is the only thing keeping me from playing this game
Well i just got done playing mission 1 and 2 and i think the Dark Eldar are as broken in Soulstorm as they are in the Table Top game. I've been playing 40k for 16 years so i know how badass they are i just can't wate to see what the Sisters of Battle are like in this game. The only thing i did not like about the Demo was mission 1 would not end i destroyed everything on the map and the mission would not end. All in all i give the Soulstorm Demo a 9/10
"Eldar plus Chaos"
Did you know that is one of the most hated insults to DE players, and to people who actually know what DE is?
i dont know why peeps are geting upset as there are only dark eldar in the demo if thay put sisters of battle in & dark eldar in the demo then it would just be like the expansion & not a demo you bunch of spoons or if thay just had SoB (sisters of battle) then that would make like 3 humans races which would be very repetative so there for no doing the job of a demo (to help sell the main product) + relic etc will think very carefully about makeing dow 2 as it would make all the other dow games sorta irelivent or make dow 2 irelivent think about it that dont want dow to beacome a flop when thay put that mcuh money into expansions
Dont know if anyone knows yet, but GameReplays.org have reported that this demo is being pulled back and that their releasing a new one.Wrong demo I guess...I'm not sure if its true, but it looks ligit...

Eldar and Chaos together?
Wow. I'm astonished by the brazen attitude of people who have no idea what they are talking about.
Make sure you know something about what your gonna say before you say it
Have a nice day
I'm not even going to get soulstorm. I just think that whoever made this is running out of ideas, and think people will buy this just because they have 2 new races that dont even have some of the weapons right. Plus the whole air-unit thing is just a rushed concept that they probably d
i got cut off so i'll finish.
The air- unit things is just a rushed concept they probably didnt even think through. Im fine with the first 3 games so im going to stick with them.
going back along way, whoever it was who said the space marines only aircraft is the thunderhawk is very, VERY wrong. They also get 3 or 4 fighter/bomber varients, the aquilla lander, a small drop craft I can't remember the name of, and a couple more aircraft.
I can't help but wonder what the necrons are getting, as they have no aircraft. In fact, the ONLY thing the get which isn't already in DC is the necron Pylon, a massive, stationary, guass artillery piece, which has an unlimited range. In DoW, built one of them would be pretty much instant win.
To 60.
Either the necron monolith will get a resaerch ability enabling it to fly, the nightbringer (or deciver if it gets added) will be able to fly. Or the necrons wont get any flying units at all as a way to compensate for their overall ability to pwn other races.
Those of you who are annoyed about the fact that one of the air units, especially you number 12, is just a flying land speeder, well it aint. That particular landspeeder is called a land speeder tempest, its a light fighter, if you play the tt game then it is godly i n a batlle, dont just say everything is crap cos they appear to be, you gotta know the background first.
On a happier note, air units, as far as im concerned are the best thing to happen to dawn of war in a long while. Having space battles would make it complete.
One question though, are there anti air units in the game or the anti air units the air units?
The_Mattster
Well, frankly I think everyone is going to far in saying how bad Soulstorm demo is...because its not!
I loved this demo and I'm not a fan of downloading demos I generally wait for the full game to come out. The_Mattster was right the land speeder tempest is a great Space Marine vehicle, why? because thunderhawks are waaaaaay to good for Dawn of War and plus Space Marines needed a weak air unit, considering they dominate on the ground.
And to all asking, the anti-air turrets are on listening posts, it is a seperate upgrade (at least with dark eldar)
-one last thing: I am a Warhammer 40k player and the Dark Elder are my least favorite race, but dawn of War gave them a fun and cool feel that made me like them more.
#53 and all others who hate me for saying "Eldar + Chaos"
I was under the impression that DE had summin to do with Slaaneshi the Chaos god, not sure which, i never bothered to read about any armies, i find that kinda a waste of time considering i dont find it very interesting and i cant talk to no one about it.
I say Eldar plus Chaos coz they are Eldar... but they got a lot of Chaos resembling things, and it seems even more similar in the game coz of the tortured human = Heretic, Demon beast things = well... chaos demons, DE warrior voices = Chaos voices. Also Wytches and Mandrakes seem a lil Slaaneshi like lol
There are just similarities between em, anyone with eyes could see that. But since i am now the single most hated person by DE standards... i shall now go learn about them, no need to whip me lol
im sorry, i only choose this cause its well frequented as of now. can someone please help me understand the mysteries of Decals and the Pink Question marks. I have all these "Tga" files, and i think they;re in the right place, but maps i use continue to have pink ? marks.
Just a runthrough of what the heck im supposed to do with these would be awesome. my emails ZealotVargas@hotmail.com if ur answer is longer than you'd care to write on the simple comment box.
thanks for the help!
Zealot2021, you may want to ask about modding on the Modding & Editing forum, where people will gladly offer any assistance needed.
I didnt realize there was such a location. thanks a lot.
sorry to bother peeps.
there will be by the sounds of things no flying units for the Necrons in this game for what reason i don't really know but the Necrons i believe are getting or i am lead 2 believe get the pylon in compensation which is AA as well as able 2 deal ownage on troops aswell and the necron airships and so on are far far more advanced than any current races ships and there for would b able 2 own the field as soon as they were built and maybe they might get released in a later dawn of war (if anymore) hopefully that has put some other players questions 2 rest and also a necron monolith won't need flying research since it can teleport in2 battlz anywayz =)
"Chaos plus Eldar"
A seemingly harmless phrase commonly muttered by those who know little about the DE. However, to the few DE collectors out there (I say few because they are pretty much hands down the least popular army in the game, no offense meant by this statement but I find it to be true) this phrase is like burning a bible in the Vatican City, and capable of turning a normal discussion about DE into a thread who's soul purpose is to tear the heart out of the person foolish enough to utter anything of the likes. Now I will admit it, until recently when I actually looked into my army's dark brethren (Yeah, I collect Eldar) I used to refer to them as "the Eldar version of Chaos", but almost everybody has, at one point, assumed this, because at first glance that is what they are. However I am now well aware that they are not, and while I may not be sure exactly how it is they appeared, or if they have a purpose aside from toturing those who they don't kill, I cannot say, as I do not know, Even the Eldar are unaware of this. But for those DE players who devour the soul of someone who dares talk about them in such a way, please try and tell them their wrong and you know because you collect them, because I have seen an argument between a DE player and a SM player about this very matter almost become a fist fight, and is the reason I have references to DE players ripping people hearts out and stuff, because though they are insanely unpopular, those who collect them are deathly protective of them (in general), and I respect those who defend their army in such a way, I know I do when people call Eldar a bunch of weaklings or something like that
I'M NOT CRAZY! YOU'RE CRAZY! I'M JUST THE ONLY NORMAL ONE!
actually looking back on my previous post (srry bout double post) I realize it sounds like I am saying that DE players are insanely unpopular, I was referring to the army itself, and I also feelt hat SM players have no need to defend themselves, as they have chosen the most basic and my least favorite army in the game, SM do not deserve to be defended by people who hate them such as I, aftr all, since they are the most popular army, all the other armies are minorities, and it is common knowledge that minorities are the ones with the true power
I'M NOT CRAZY! YOU'RE CRAZY! I'M JUST THE ONLY NORMAL ONE!
i would have 2 agree wiv sage 62 as a fellow collector of the Actual game DE are the most unlikely 2 b favoured army in the warhammer 40k universe and well a fact is just what he probably just wanted 2 point out but maybe wiv dis release of the DE things might actually change in personal preferance and oh well only time will tell as well don't forget there are still plenty more 2 come out of the DOW series yet like the even new to TT terminus pattern land raider which has lascannons all over its hull or wat ever u call it twin linked lascannons where the heavy bolters are on the front of a normal landraider plus it has da normal twin linked lascannons on each side wiv a nuva bonus lascannon on each side totaling up to 8 lascannons in total, although it can't carry any transports because of the ammunition storage is so great and it can almost explode from the over use of so many cannons but it is something that could have went into the TTRU mod but maybe in an update but maybe, just maybe
In reference to the Dark Eldar, all you people who don't know where they came from, here's how it was:
Basically thousands of years ago some of the Eldar were getting evil and nasty until finally Slaanesh was born. Pretty much Slaanesh is the embodiement of their evil and when he was created it made a massive explosion that destroyed alot of the Eldar Craftworlds and formed the now infamous Eye of Terror. So Basically the Eldar (Dark Eldar really) are responsible for the making of Slaanesh and the Eye of Terror.
Those of you who collect Table Top need to learn more about the history of your faction...you can create some pretty cool armies like that.
ok, sage. You're still flamed at me about my little comment on PotD aren't you. Well heres my response. GET OVER IT. They're just an army as much as any. Yes I respect the DE players because it takes true talent to play with them on TT. What I don't respect are fanatics because all they do is screw up someone else's day. DE aren't played enough because no one has heard enough about them. I only have 500 pts of DE so I really don't know how to play them that well. Almost to 1000pts full assembled and primed.
Hmm, well, I'm DLing it now, with a two hour time, which is taking 3 hours.....
I hope this is worth it!
What exactley do air units do? Are they just ordinary things that fly staying in the air? ie, a new level of battle (literally) EG:
<Raptors> - - - - -(Necron Destroyer>
<CSM squad> <Necron squad>
Hmm, thats not very clear, is it like a whole new battlefield above the ground based one? Can you fight bteween thw two?
no, air units are worthless.
How so, im 18% DLed with 2 and a half hours to go, can they interact with ground based untis in anyway?
yes, they can exchange weapons fire and such from ground or air.
Yay! 67% to go, how long did it take for everyone else to DL the demo?
Air units aren't worthless people. Am I the only one who sees the advantage here. Forget how un-realistic and weak they are, I don't really care about that. The advatage is a scouting unit that completely ingores terrain, in addition to being an obvious diversonary strike unit. Pathfinding issues don't exist with flyers, so gone are the days of horrible bottlenecks between infantry and armour, especally with the Baneblade and Land Raider.
Aside from that, the demo just bugged me, but I can't explain why. It just didn't feel right. Might be beacuse it's a demo, or it just might be me. Either way, I'm getting this game on day one. Dark Eldar and Sisters of Battle be damned, I'm ready to conquer again as the Imperial Guard.
There you have it. Praise the Emperor! That is all.
took me twenty minutes, but I do spend a lot of yen on my computer.
Right, mines just thsi minute finished, I started at 4 XD!
This better be worth it!
Where exactley do I download the demo to? I'm opening it in The THQ folder in C drive.
your lucky coz you have fasta internet than ma dads comp which was going 2 be downloading in about just over 3 hours but it dialed out or wat ever so when i got back 2 ma mums afta hearign da bad news i went and started downloading it there and well i knew it was going to take forever which thankfully it didn't it only took 6 hours and 45 minutes which in my time left me awake til 11: 45 pm and then it was transfering onto ma mp4 so i could take back 2 ma dads and took anuva half hour so all up way 2 long good thing it wasn't the full game coz i know i would still be waiting for it 2 download lol
im wondering if it is possible to take the demo and add it to dark crusade like a mod. if any one knows how plz tell im just doing it for personal play and wont place it online
Lol, and it's probably possible, dunno how though,...
Maybe copy the folders into the DC root directory or somesuch.
i tried placing the whole folder like in mods but that didnt work...
on a differnt note though, y not just wait for the dark eldar and sisters of battle mods to be finished then get combiner mod? its the same thing.
i see soulstorm as a mod u have to pay for unlike all the other good mods that have comeout, witchhunters, deamonhunters, dance macbre, steel legion, and soon the tyranid mod will be finished. like i said before y not wait till all those mods are finished then put them altogeter with the combiner mod?
illl keep trying to add soulstorm to my dark crusade though => its pretty good.
if anyone knows how pleaser let me know!
says here mines gonna take 40 hours and its at 1% 
Thats sad 87 thats soooo sad.
its not bad, but just more of the same
They updated the Demo BTW. It's now 1.17 Gigs, and fixes quite a few things.
I like the demo,
dark eldar are evil and sadistic looking just like I expected and the air units are pretty cool, I find it funny that dark eldar have an ability called soulstorm.
the dais of destuction's dark schythe ability is so cool looking and it's funny how the tank commander has 2 girls for entertainment lol
AAAAARRRRGGG!!!!!!! The file was corrupted I waited 2 hours to download a corrupted file!!!!
all you guys get way too angry over this game, come on man who gives a damn about dark eldar vs space marines all i care about is blowing the hell out of something. as far as im concerned all the races can still be allys in skirmish so i can pretty much make anything up "dark eldar were taken over by space marines and now fight for them" so i realy dont care what race was added where as long as i still get to blow sh!t up im fine. just try to be happy with what you have for a change i mean realy what do you want for free eh?
Its not actually as bad as most of u guys r making out. You have to say though it would of been better with Tyrannids and Deamon Hunters...
#50 - Mate I agree on what you said about da orks, I mean Suicide bomber orks, sound to cool!! not to mention funny
Plus Im not much of a chaos fan but flying deamons!.....cool!!
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN IS DOW 2 COMMING OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLZ TELL ME
HELP!!
I downloaded this and after a 4hr wait of downloading I tryed to install it and it dosnt even want to install @#$%!!
some plez help me tell me what to do
man this demo looks good shame though though it would be deamon hunters not witch hunters
also if anybody had read brothers of the snack the space marines can have a iron snake colour sceam and u can play dark eldar vs iron snakes
when will the full version come???
woohoo! 100th post! well its a change from the usual 'first post' noobies!
First off, I agree with quite a few comments here. I haven't actually played the demo, but I knew that the air units would likely be a flop. Its just not designed for them. They would have to rethink the whole structure of air units for it to work.
What I really want to know is, what's this speculation of a DOW2? A few people have mentioned it throughout this website, but that's it. Are there rumours that suggest there will be another, or is DOW coming to a total end?
This is flippin ridiculous, and by the way the will probably use the Necron's Destroyer for the Necrons Flying unit!!
ok, im dissapointed at all the bad comments cos i thought i will be good, im gonna download it anyway so there, btw, necrons will get a tomb spyder or hopefully a mini monolith for their flyer
Each race is given a new aerial unit which does not obey the normal rule of engagement in the Dawn of War series.
Chaos Space Marines gain the Hell Talon
Eldar gain the Nightwing
Imperial Guard gain the Marauder Bomber
The Necron Tomb Spider's Attack Scarabs have been granted flight ability and Necron Lord receives the C'tan Deceiver entity.
Orks gain the Fighta Bomma
Space Marines gain the Land Speeder Tempest
Tau gain the Barracuda
the dark eldar are chaos eldar, read the bacground info, eesh, am i the only person who does thet, they are ledar, who got greedy and the demongodchaosthigys overtook and warpede them, sounds like a moral/parable from the bible huh
sorry about the speed of speech but i type in a hurry 4 sum strange rsn and im 75% downloaded since my 1st post of the day, yay
i haven't tried the demo yet but it looks amazingly disappointing
mey the sisters prevail indefinately
to save people, to protect things,,
unto leading u s out of m i s e r y
mey the sisters rule and guide u s
out of our imperial mistakes iraq
or otherwise, to help imperieh
