WHY the sisters of battle? GOD TELL ME WHY!!!
I would have preferred Tyranids by miles, i have the tyranid mod courtsey to dow filefront, and there is a few units that need tweaking, but they would have been insane.
But you must remember that Tyranids will almost certainly come out next expansion as there are no more races… unless you count Daemon or Witch Hunters, who are sisters of battle.
I guess we must wait yet another year and a half for the tyranids.

i don’t understand why they don’t fully do the tyranids because i have it and they use some troops from other races but they should fix it and put it as an expansion with inquisition for soulstorm because then it will have all the races then that will be fun

DoW is a very good game… But i agree with Mike. why did they limet the amount of uber cool units like the terminators, kasrkins, and harlaquens . now i thenk that the brought in the sisters of battle because you only heard of the inquisadors in the first DoW game. but come on.. air units … that will probably ruin the experiance, i have built all my stradagys around only ground units. over all i do not care how the single player campain will be played i just like slatering my oponits.

P.S. sorry about my speling i know it is atroshis

-i think u should be able to have 2 of most ubre squads(i.e. obliterators,kasrkins, etc.) and 10 turrets per base and a slightly larger squad cap
-dark eldar seems cool, sisters of battle seem cool also, but kinda redundant
-air units will either be awesome or a complete washout
-new larger campaign=
i just want some new ground units too that would be cool…….

‘Nids would have been better and aren’t the sisters of battle just female space marines? wouldn’t they have the same units its ridiculous at least the dark eldar have some different units

And if all else fails, they can just give the Nids much shorter unit build times, and make them come out fully reinforced.

“Well, they have said, or I’ve read that the Tyranids aren’t practical to implement in the DoW engine, so if they make an appearance, it’ll be 2.”

I’ve heard that before and it’s rubbish. The engine can hack it, as someone has already worked up a mod already. I’ve also played plenty of Survival maps that had insane amount of units on the screen. Tyranids could be scaled to this level.

Remember that DoW has never been about imitating table top gameplay or rule sets. DoW makes a few sacrifices here and there to make the game more enjoyable as a video game.

With that said, I can’t see any excuse for avoiding Tyranids other than perhaps they want to save them for later. We all know they are milking this franchise for all its worth anyway.

Well, they have said, or I’ve read that the Tyranids aren’t practical to implement in the DoW engine, so if they make an appearance, it’ll be 2.

1) I sincerely hope the campaign isn’t just the DC one but longer. If I want to play a row of skirmishes, I’ll simply play a row of skirmishes, no need to disguise it as a bad campaign.
2) I like the idea of harvesting souls. I might have to play as them.
3) Air should be fun, but I bet that there will be one over-powered faction air force.

Sisters of Battle…I’m not too versed in Warhammer 40k universe stuff, but…is there really need for ANOTHER imperium faction? There’s already the Space Marines and Imperial Guard, now a 3rd? Are we saying this is to counter the fact that Eldar have technically two faction’s? If so, that’s rubbish because Imperium already had two. Why don’t they just go ahead and make every damn chapter under the Space Marines, starting with the expansion of the Grey Knights into a full faction, instead of giving them one Godly unit.

I also hope they do a lot of balance changes and get rid of some of the ridiculous limitations that DC brought in. I’m not saying we should be spamming our bases with turrets, but the amount you’re allowed is only good enough to protect one base if you have all 5 of your HQ’s turrets allowance built around one HQ. I predict this will be a good expansion, but only that. 7-8 is my estimate.
