Tyranids are not in the game.
(*ahem*) Well, guess the Tyranids have been scrapped in favor of the Sisters of Battle (they had it coming all along anyways). So, how do you think they're going to turn out? (I hope Relic throw in the Incarcerator for good measure - it makes for a good convoy scenario and multiplayer fragfest) - Frostmourne 16 06:00, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
The game's structure will be similar to DC, so I doubt there will be such a race-specific scenario, even more since it's not developed by Relic itself (and that will negatively impact gameplay originality imho). Anyway, I would have really loved nids but it was long known that they wouldn't put them in DoW (it was either SoB or WH), they said that they would likely use them in DoW2 (with a new engine ofc): what I hope to see in DoW2 is an army edit mode (point based?) offline that allows you to field custom units in online games, that's the only way nids' variability could be rightfully represented. For now we'll have to stick with Living Saints... Oh well! 84.221.68.252 12:22, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
Ooh... Let's see: the devs will OBVIOUSLY throw in the Canonness as the SoB's main Commander unit. The Immolator and the Exorcist are also going to be in there as well. But what will really take the cake is that if they bring the Penitent Engine in for the Sisterhood. The sight of a half-naked zealot strapped in front of walking, limb-tearing, flamethrowing metallic beast of war is going to make seasoned veterans of both the tabletop game and Dawn of War alike cry with glee (at least in my opinion xD). - Frostmourne 16 08:50, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
They will most likely introduce it, since most races have walker units (even though I'm more fond of Defilers or Wraithlords), and they need to put in as many unique SoB units as they can to prevent too much similarities with IG and SM. Probably they will get another assassin, either Culexus or Eversor. 84.221.68.252 16:43, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
About this... on the Relicnews forum (which is the forum for relicnews.com), there was an image posted for Seraphim. The rest of the units I mentioned are in other officially released screenshots. The gamespot videos show all the units except for the Seraphim. The Seraphim themselves, along with a turret, listening posts, two exorcists, and what the forum-goers believe is a Death Cult Assassin, are shown in a thread by Buggo, a relic employee, in the Relicnews Forums. Not sure if I should actually post a direct link, however, so here's the forums. http://forums.relicnews.com/
Also, I should bring notice to this particular image. This is cropped from one of the official screenshots released on gamespot: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a28/melissiablackheart/Screenshot/SoBFighter.png That aircraft uses the same colors as the Sisters of Battle (who use the Order of Our Martyred Ladies colors due to it being first alphabetically). It has been identified as an Aeronautica Imperialis Lightning, Fighter Craft variant. A model is for sale on Forgeworld for comparison.

Never mind, after talking to the guys at Gamestop (in Liberty, MO) and Wal-Mart across the street, March 4th is the ship-date.

Thank you for being civilized about this and I do see your point. I have added a Canadian flag to the article to signal this to other Canadian users and if I come across any other countries getting this release as I browse the web i'll put them up as well. And it was not really an argument with my failure to reserve a copy, it was merely an example of how people can be confused. If I shouldn't be checking wikipedia for a game release then why even have a date listed? And why do I always see people requesting release dates on the talk pages of almost all major games pending release. Bretonnia ( talk) 17:45, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Alright, I bought the game today, and quite frankly it fails in almost every area compared to Dark Crusade. I've written extensively about it on the Gamespy forums.

It is a let down that you do not get to keep structures when you're on defense. I thought that was a strength of DC. If the enemy wanted your territory back they had to deal with whatever defenses you had. Real bad call on this change. But you know it follows the time honored tradition of conquest. Immediately after the Allies successful landings at Normandy they took all of their supplies and threw them into the ocean. - FormUnknown
I believe once some reviews do come out though, we can address the two serious issues the game had shipping- the Sisters of Battle listening post upgrade bug and the Dark Eldar Observer bug.-- MercZ ( talk) 05:30, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Soulstorm done. If anybody could help me with the DOW and Winter Assault one, because I am letting someone borrow the Gold Edition where it comes with both games and manuals. I can do Dark Crusade.
I am also making a list of all the units, builings, and abilities based off the manuals. Same as before, If someone could add the DOW and WA units, buitldings, and abilities for the races please do so. The link is in the Soulstorm page below the new units.--

I have seen with other pages with very good information bars such as the one on: Epigenetics I think that kind of information bar would be appropriate to this game, and to many Video Game projects. Of course, this isn't about genetics, so it should look a little bit different. The main reason I am bringing this up is because this page is just a relative sub-branch of the rather large game tree, but at a glance, it isn't easy to navigate the tree, as it is on the page I linked to.

I feel that I have reasons to believe that Soulstorm is not on the same timeline as Dawn of War 2. Rather, I think that it splits off after the Dark Crusade.
In Soulstorm, if the Blood Ravens win, it states in the ending cutscene that the Blood Ravens "acquitted themselves." This implies that they were guilty of something before but redeemed themselves. Now, we also know that if the Blood Ravens win in Dark Crusade, the Segmentum Command accuses the chapter of heresy, but the Inquisition drops the charges. We also know that if the Kronus Liberators level the Space Marine headquarters, Lucas Alexander finds evidence that the Blood Ravens are somehow connected to Chaos. (Indeed, Eliphas hints at similar things at times, too)
With that knowledge, we can conclude that the narration in Soulstorm implies that the 1st Kronus Liberators won, and thus Thule died. However, we also know that in Dawn of War 2, Thule is the guy who gives you orders. That means that he must have won the Dark Crusade.
So, my conclusion is that Soulstorm and Dawn of War 2 Do not follow the same storyline. Rather, the two are a sort of fork in the road following the Dark Crusade. Fusion7 ( talk) 18:14, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
