for all the negativity some 40k fans rightly get, playing skirmish was the first time a stranger took the time to clue me in on a game out of the kindness of their heart, showing me some of the basics of getting a good build planned - it was a bit like a chess lesson but far more entertaining. thank you, unknown DoW player, you own

What's to understand? Tau claim to be working for a "greater good" but enslave their own people through pheromone manipulation and relegate other species to second class citizenry. Eldar are almost exclusively responsible for how fucked up *everything* is yet waste time and their dwindling numbers on a race war against "lesser" beings. Dark Eldar only care about murderfucking. Chaos is self explanatory. Necrons are tied in to the whole Chaos/Eldar thingy and are... Well they're Necrons. Tyranids are eventually going to eat *literally everything and everyone* sooner or later. The only somewhat redeeming race is the Orks and that's only because they are behaving simply how they were DESIGNED to behave by a race that has long excused itself from the scene anyway. But still are as much a threat to any sort of stability as any other faction. That's all Mankind needs to "understand."

Starcraft got ideas for Zerg from a combo of Alien movies for looks and Tyranids for lore - and GW actually liked the Zerg look so changed Tyranids to look like Zerg/Xenomorphs more as in the beginning they had a retro 50s B-movie look instead (genestealers are the main remnant of this look which is why they don't "fit" the look of other nids well)

Well done, you presented your points effectively while also incorporating some comedy in so it wouldn't be too dull. While it'd be nice for you to go a little more in depth with the way the game is played, rather than just the factions, this still does very well on its own. What, you were expecting me to say something stupid? Uh, shoes.

I just love how you use all the familiar sound effects (for me at least), how you are cleverly and profesionaly commented and montaged this video (it feels like you were you, not forced any jokes), the natural feeling of this video. It feels like home. And warp magiks. But mostly home. Can't wait for more. (Now to wait 9 months for the second part, the usual Alfa Legion procedure.)

Well I`ve got to say, for your first review, that was pretty excellent. It was funny, informative and well structured. Good job mate. I´m looking forward to your future reviews and other projects.

Dude you deserve way more subs and views. This was bloody brilliant

That DOW opening intro is still one of the greatest gaming cinematics of all time. No slow build here, we are going straight into the deep end baby. Edit: Got to the part about the quotes andthe chaos line actually gave me chills hearing it again. Epic VA.

one of the best game reviews ever. you are awesome in doing these videos.

Doing my yearly pilgrimage to this video. Blessed is ThunderPsyker.

Fantastic look and review of such a timeless game, nice one!

Great Review! Bought a tear to my eye for such a great game review of a great game!

Picked up DoW one and its expansions beating each one in turn. Glad to watch all of your reviews and hope you get back to content soon. Was happy to watch your reviews after beating the OG campaign and moving on to winter assault

This review was wonderful. Quite well done, ThunderPsyker. i cannae wait to see how this'll go.

Man, hearing Custodes Kitten discuss this game is just awesome to watch... i love these retrospective videos!

I really enjoyed this and the other DoW retrospectives. I truly loved this game and continue to do so. As a game developer, I can honestly say you do a good job from that perspective as well. Finally, so many game bloggers rely on really obnoxious video techniques and your jokes are just enough to mix things up quickly without making me want to pull my own organs out. Bravo!

About a memorable lines. My friend a huge fan of CoH, we played it a lot, but never actually use any voicelines as a joke. And when I found about Dawn Of War, few month ago (thanks to you my friend!), I immideatly show it to my friend, and after two games he keeps screaming in discord: "SIR! YES, SIR!", "It will be done!" and other lines, which we were using even while playing CoH

Good review, nicely written. Made me chuckle a few times and even made made me want to play the game again.

these vids are so good ive rewatched them 3 to 4 times

Back here after the thumbnail updates, good work my guy!

Considering his last video, bowls of hell is a much more fitting allegory.

This game was my entrance into Warhammer 40k. I've been in love ever since.

I had to watch this again today just for that barbaric warhungry savages joke xD

I think I watched it at least five or six times already, this is probably one of the best balanced reviews I've seen when it comes to mixing informativity, subject related humour and more general oriented jokes.

Awesome review of an awesome game! Subscribed. =)

Gotta admit, I wasn't expecting a review that would shock me but I was definitely pleasantly surprised by the in-depth look you presented and a good standpoint on a lot of what the game has to offer. Not only did you compare how the game was by RTS standards but honestly it was how you managed to incorporate how the game felt by 40K standards which was what impressed me the most. Looking forward to everything else man.

Goddamn, you are amazing. Your style of presenting and sense of humour are perfect.

Eager for the next vid. Good job.

1:52 that was very VERY good. and of course very accurate too.

LITTLE KITTEN!!! IS THAT YOU???

Dark Crusade was what originally got me interested in Warhammer/40K, so definitely looking forward to these videos.

this was really damn good, nice job mate

I liked the video and most of all the humor, have my upvote good sir.

I feel sorry for you ThunderPsyker. There were those of us that played this when it first released and it was our everything for at least a few years. I spent more hours than I can remember crushing foes in the multiplayer. By the time the last expansion came out, "Soul Storm" that gave us flyers, and Sisters of Battle, the game was complete and fun as hell. But of course, the fun ended with the collapse of Game Spy. How you do Online Multiplayers now with out the Game Spy host, I have no idea.

You'll have to get the Steam version: From what I remember, you can put your CD code for DoW 1 and Soulstorm into Steam and it'll redeem it as a full copy. Winter Assault and Dark Crusade will require you contacting Sega support directly, however. (they usually just ask for a photo of your copy, including the key)

I believe that, aside from steam servers, you can use GameRanger to set up multiplayer games, but i would recommend getting some people or a joining a group for such, as it can be frustrating to set up a gameranger game sometimes.

Just picked this up on Humble Bundle. Was deciding which games to checkout from. The bundle first. You've sold this one to me. Looks like fun!

You convinced me to buy it thanks to your splendid review!

Ive never even seen half of these games before, would really like to look into them

And here we see thunder in his natural environment, a small room in front of a computer, with a very fetching beard.

Great, fair, and funny review!

So many hours of my teenage years lost to this game, they just don't make them like this any more.

Wow. That was a well thought out review. I learned about 40K through reddit, and just heard that Dawn of War 3 will be released soon. Thank you for this comical and well articulated review. I will now buy the game. Thank you.

ThunderPsker your take on this is epic verbal, and review is spot on! O_O

I like how this video makes it clear the game is being judge on it release without directly stating it

One of the best reviews i have ever watched. This is Angry freaking Joe quality. Fucking awesome. Thanks Kitten :D

Great review!

Ive played Dark crusade more times than i can remember and its still amazing.

*LITTLE KITTEN! MY THERMIC REACTOR IS PULSATING WITH EXCITEMENT!*

11:04 oh my gosh is that the mission where you find the two imperial guardsmen that held out against chaos and eldar forces on their own for two weeks?

Good job, you made me want to listen to the music again.

Great RTS, remember loving it. Part 2 was the first RTS to lure me into online play with the great matchmaking systems they used first in windows live then in steam later on.

I was born when this game was made. Played it at 4,played dark crusade at 10, discover the lore at 13. Didn't understand all the quotes until I discover them online. 10/10 game.

ultimate apocalypse makes this game perfect

So I'm watching this in 2019, laughing my arse off wondering how I've never come across you guys before... Subbed all day long.

I used to set my PC to execute dawn of war at 6:30 am so I'd wake up for work to the sounds of the glorious battle in the intro. Made for a decent morning and got me in the mood for work.

playing the DOW 1 campaign again after 10-12 years... (at work) and damn this is one excellent game

Love how this video is almost ten years old

That opening cutscene was so mind-blowing in 2006 that I spent the next several months emptying my bank account on Space Marine minis and even got a Space Marine tattoo within the year. I had never seen so much concentrated badassdom before.

still one of the best videos on youtube.

Great Review!

Bless this man

Love this style of video.

That intro summs up all my feelings towards how this universe / setting is treated by game developers and film makers.

Now it looks even more retrospective

I liked that bit about the music.
