[QUOTE=Deiru;32255851]Okay, but out of the ones I have, which order should I play them in, or is Winter Assault non-canon too, so just whenever?[/QUOTE]
Dawn of War, Winter Assault, Dark Crusade.
Also, as far as i know, none of the DoW games are canon.
[QUOTE=RayvenQ;32251208]Ravenor series, as well as Eisenhorn, but yeah, a lot of the smell around jurgen and people not liking him/finding him weird is probably down to his blankness, also, Frauka is a bit of an exception, as he was deblanked by Zael reflecting the psychic energies of the Daemon Slyte, which would be why Frauka is still alive rather than just plain dead.

I dunno, still seems better than any other explanation, and according to the warhammer wiki they are Psykers saying
[quote=warhammerwiki] The grades continue on down through the letters of the Greek alphabet. Grade Sigma and below are levels of "anti-psychic power". Such people are more commonly known as "psychic blanks" since they cannot be detected, manipulated or affected by psychic means and possess the pariah gene. [/quote]
It could just be that he's a low grade blank, not as powerful as Jurgen or any other blanks, just resistant to the warp, not necessarily emanating a field. Think about it like the difference between someone with full blown autism and someone with aspergers, Aspergers can go unnoticed entire lifetimes while autism is generally more severe and more intense.
Then again knowing THQ's take on 40k it's because he's actually a Blood Raven in disguise and he's a hero for the freedom of the universe! Yeah Blood Ravens! [/sarcasm]
Also the dislike is Jurgen is DEFINITELY the fact that he's the most unclean bastard this side of Alpha Centauri. I doubt people get close enough generally to be unsettled by his blankness.

Thanks, and if that's the case then, It doesn't matter. I'll just go through it. I kinda want to play Soulstorm anyway though, I guess it just depends on what I can get now.
made a simple video depicting my experience in space marines multiplayer

[QUOTE=Hoboharry;32255932]Dawn of War, Winter Assault, Dark Crusade.
Also, as far as i know, none of the DoW games are canon.[/QUOTE]I thought that they were all pretty much canon.
Got to level 14 in multiplayer in SM today - my thoughts :
- Bloody snoipers - if not the lascannon then the stalker bolter
- All classes seem to be balanced when you know how to use them
- Open mic is a minor annoyance, compared to the sound stuttering at least
- we could use a ctf mode
It's tons of fun overall, and i think it might have a cult following - so it might not die so quickly.
Also aaaargh i want that corvus helmet dangit
[QUOTE=Deiru;32255419]Is Soulstorm worth getting?
I have Dawn of War, Winter assault and Dark Crusade, (None of the DoW2 series yet), and I don't know which order to do them in.
Dawn of War is first obviously, but after that? As far as I know, Dark Crusade is non-canon mostly, but what about Winter Assault?[/QUOTE]
Soulstorm is amazing, those battle-babes are extremely powerful.
[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;32256349]Soulstorm is amazing, those battle-babes are extremely powerful.[/QUOTE]
Alright, It looks pretty good. I'm really enjoying the first Dawn of War so far, and after that it's Winter Crusade, then Dark Crusade, and I should be okay with just playing Soulstorm after all of those, right?
Me and my friend, chilling on point A. War? Never heard of it.

So Blood Ravens don't exist? Neither do Tau XV22 battlesuits?
The DoW games ARE cannon (atleast the story is)
This is probably late, but I've finished the calculations for my newly acquired Orks. I have 4140 points. Can't wait for Apoc... :v:

I never said that, but thank you for correcting me.
[QUOTE=nightlord;32255771]It doesn't seem to be like that on X360.[/QUOTE]
Or any of the matches I've played on PC.
I've been dominating with a plasma gun as a tactical.
I'm not going to use any weapons other than the standard ones until i complete all the challenges for them.
I [B]hate[/B] the Orks with rokkit launchers, one hit and half you health is gone instantly, then if it's a triple one, you're dead (I haven't got far since I haven't had the time, but by the time I got to the [sp]first Chaos appearance[/sp], I died like 10 times, 9 of which were against rokkits).
From what I see you don't have infinite pistol ammo in multiplayer. Maximo Raptor is sad.

For Titus to have been able to resist the nearly direct exposure to the warp (going along with your theory) he'd have to be a strong enough blank that anyone within range would be able to heavily feel the effects or at least detect the blankness.
Put a blank near a psyker, any level of blank, and the psyker will know because they'll feel the void of them.

Get out of this thread and never step foot in it again.
Oh man just used the Plasma Cannon for the first time. As if on queue half the enemy team becomes laggy assaults and swarm me. The few times I wasn't 4v1'd though were hilarious. Last Dev weapon to complete challenges for and then its more Tactical time.
Raidyr, reminded me when 4 enemy assaults decided to jump my lone assault guy, the didn't notice my final vengeance till it went off in their faces, quad kill ftw.
That reminds me of when I was playing my tactical and saw an assault, he dove on me and started swinging his thunderhammer. I danced around for a bit not shooting then hosed him down with kraken bolts.
Hey guys, I'm about to play some Space Marine on the 360.

Playing multiplayer for longer than 30 minutes will somehow make Steam lose connection. So far only SM does it and no other game. Is this happening to anyone else?

Nope.
I do get an issue after playing for over an hour where my game will start to randomly lock up, and it will grow more and more frequent to the point where I simply cannot play.
