Well, the Tau are suppose to have low associations with the chaos and since they are barely a blip in the warp they aren't really that corruptible. So they get to remain the noblest race in Warhammer history. Yet they get screwed with a crappy game. I hope they add Tau to Dawn of War 2 though, I always enjoyed playing them in Dawn of War 1.

But they did have a Turn Based strategy game from the eldar's focal point as well.

Honestly with what they're going for here I can see Space Marines being the only viable choice. They're plugging the whole 'heroic badasses with melee weapons and small arms', active combo systems, etc etc etc. Gotta impress people to get them interested, so you have thunderhammers, powerclaws, etc.

As much as I absolutely hate to say it, it kind of reminds me of CAD.

"Pfft, this is lame-"
"These guys have chainsaw swords."
"This is the coolest game ever."

This, of course, gives me a great idea for a Call of Duty/Tau mashup once the franchise gets some video game roots.

I wonder when they'll make a left 4 dead clone where you fight 'nids instead of zombies

This is somewhat off topic but congrats to me. I finally know what Brian's avatar for the last few years has been about.

I WILL BUY THAT RIGHT THIS SECOND.

GAME DEVELOPERS! I SUMMON THEE!

...They could even make different campaigns with different races. And the Guard one could be about Ciaphas Cain!

On topic: I wonder how many Marine vehicles they'll include? Because I took a stop in the local GW recently and found a new Space Marine codex with these motherfuckers in it. Like, just give me ONE LEVEL in one of these babies.

EDIT: You know what? Fuck it. Scrap the game and give me Warhammer 40k: Imperial Dreadnought.

Sweet, I would so get that game too! There is GW computer gaming plan for the next year

Warhammer 40k: Tyranid Invasion. It could have Tau, Guard and Eldar campaigns, anything else would feel to powerful for it.

Warhammer 40k: Imperial Dreadnaught. I would like to think they could add a furioso dreadnaught too, those are always fun to use in 40k

On Topic, I want to know if its pick person your using for the campaign, per mission or if its assigns them to you before hand.

The only thing I have against this is essentially Orkz are hilarious to everyone not fighting an ork. I think a good Orky game would work fabulously.

Space Hulk would be great. You'd have everyone saying it 'rips off AVP.' Hilarity abound.

I for one hope they never remake that game- it still scares me to this day.
I played the board game at first and it was super fun. So I got the game- was like "Yay! This'll be fun". I was wrong. Dead wrong.
There is no fun in space. Abandoned space hulks carry no treasure. Only the slow march to your own death.

Hey, i totally enjoyed that game! My fav Space Marine game so far is Chaos Gate!
