is a very lean app.

unfortunately, you have to sift through the muck to put it to any use. I'm thinking that the guy who lost his 's' key and just went ahead and used 'z' instead should think very long, and very hard, about what he started. 

I just took a look at it. Am I going to have to run it through a Python interperter? What's the deal?

cant complain, this is looking like the 40K game that fans have wanted for a very long time, I si teh happay! 

The deal with what? You install it, venture over to www.suprnova.org and click a link. Instant piracy! Just like Al Gore intended it. 

so much to steal so little time to steal 

I don't see any porn on that sight. If I'm not ripping off Larry Flynt videos I'm not properly contributing to society'd demise.

Just sign up and it's porn porn porn thru bittorrent! And don't worry about spam or your email being sold, it's run by my buddy who coowns www.spawnpoint.org with me, and the only reason he wants people to sign us is so he has ways to trace RIAA/MPAA types or Pedo/Illegal porn/etc people. He's not selling your email to no one. 

it's fine to have Beavis on line...
hardly gets the point of instead...
most times sending an obscene sign...

You should write a book. I'd buy it. 

It is a shame that line of work doesn't pay much.

thanks Scampie -- that could be useful to burn some DVD's for my next kegger 

[nt] 

but he always writes in nonsense :) 

that looks nice...

but FFS WHERES THE TURN BASED STRATEGY...!!!
RTS's games are a whole other matter.... tabletop games are delicious for the time you have to make strategic maneuvers and plot the demise of your enemy.

RTS games just get my blood pressure going the wrong way :(


I still think a proper turn based 3d necormunda/mordheim with campaign support would seriously rock hard


someone mod that

I am going to try to work that line into my next map review. =) 

Correct. Indeed that only looks like last generation tech rather than 2-generations-old tech like all other GW games... So one can hope eh.

P.S. Pope you suck. 

Its relic entertainment doing the duties (Homeworld, Homeworld 2 etc) so they know what they are doing RTS wise, and yeah the graphics aren't top notch but they are still very nice.

Pope, I think you have a point, would be nice if you could pause the game at any time and plan things out, give orders etc before letting rip.

I'm not sure what the plan is on what races will be supported, I for one would love to see Tyranid and Eldar forces (cos they are cool) and replace ultra marines with blood angels dammit, do they have no taste?! :D

I wonder how much detail they will go into with setting up armies before games etc, as with WH40k you set points to spend on units and equipment, so you had to think wisely, would be cool if they implemented this into multiplayer, so you could have 5000 point army servers, and 20,000 point army servers etc, and you would be able to create and save armies before you go online...

Blah, Im just excited that someone might actually do the unthinkable and make a GOOD games workshop game :) 

they were the coolest looking (esp Lictors and Warriors). And then the eldar, especially some of their big creature/machines.

Dont know about their actual playing capabilities because I never played, just checked otu teh miniatures.

Oh yes, I remember now when it was announce, yes definitely a good thing.

P.S. Excellent idea about points-based servers. 

Pope, I think you have a point, would be nice if you could pause the game at any time and plan things out, give orders etc before letting rip.

I am told this is a feature in the game at the moment, it sounds like it's gonna be good. Also, rather than building units like in starcraft, you get points for reinforcements by capturing locations, and they arrive by transport or drop pods, which seems to fit better with the background. 

So less C&C, more Ground Control style?

Sounds like it might actually be good then. 

I'd of surely hated having to scrounge for resources In order to magically train up some space marines.

as for what armies will be in it... I doubt many... the ultra marines vs orcs is obvious choice due to the red vs blue idealism. Future armies I'd suspsect would be included in "expansions" in order to turn a buck, and get this game out the door sooner.

being able ot pause will be nice, but in Multiplayer how will that fare?

I most certainly will still invest in this product, as I have been a fan of GW for a long time and this looks like a game that I can enjoy. I still stand by my original idea of simple transplanting the tabletop formula to PC. I mean c'mon it has so much opportunity!
With skin support , there'd be a vast community trading excellent skins for their 'boyz' and whatnot. Individually naming your champions, marking kills on your dreadnoughts. Oooooh I get giddy thinking about it.

and my opinion on tyranids... the default GW color scheme on them is fugly, thus making me shun them until I'd seen some creative paintjobs that just oozeds alien hive activity 

I've read, and mind that all of this info is third hand now, that the races are space marines, orks, chaos marines, one other race in single player, and one other race in multiplayer. I'd like to think the 'nids are going to make it somewhere. 

it wouldn't be 40k without them, evil bastards =) 

Play.com have UT2004 (6cd or DVD edition) available for �17.99 for people that are interrested, I haven't been able to find a better price elsewhere...
