I'm fine with him being able to do it, he has a bionic arm. It's just it looks stupid and there's a reason he shouldn't do it. Space marines don't do it.

the problem with your logic is that space marines are inferior to him
Anyone else have the Space Hulk reprint they just did?

The spacing was over a course of 15 or so years, I'm talking like conglomerated. The ones I listed have been announced in a few month time span.

7 years Actually, by your "beforehand" line, you're seeming as if there were no 40K games ever.
Oh, no, I play DoW and chaos gate all the time.

Well space marines are geneticly modified super soldiers in power armour, they are automatically badass.
The Lord General however is a normal man, he has to work to be badass. Thus he fires a sniper rifle one handed at close range and still makes a perfect shot.
Hey, guys, could you give me a little feedback on my Traitor Guard army list for 500pts? I will expand it once I get more dosh.
Command Squad with Bolter for the Company Commander. 52pts.
Veteran squad 1 with Vox Caster (This one is to be using orders all the time) 75pts
Veteran squad 2 with Heavy Flamer, Grenade Launcher, Meltagun and Chimera with 2 heavy bolters 195pts
Leman Russ with heavy bolters sponsoons and heavy bolter emplacement 180pts
[editline]13th July 2011[/editline]
497pts in total.

He doesn't even have to aim, he just points the gun in their general direction.

Considering W40k sniper rifles fire bullets/bolter the size of a mans arm.

He's part of the Imperial Guard. He can just point anywhere and something friendly or not will end up dead.

[quote]Dawn of War 2 made a bold shift away from the scale of the first game. It dropped base building and huge armies and replaced them with a cluster of upgradeable units with skill trees and armour slots. If you felt that the Dawn of War 2 format failed to capture the enormous armies and planet-sized scraps of the Warhammer 40K universe, then you might want to keep a close eye on Dawn of War 3. Relic marketing manager James McDermott told Eurogamer that the sequel will let you “build your own custom mega army,” and aims to capture the sense of a “war that rages eternal.” Oh my.
“Looking at what we had real success with with Dawn of War II – Retribution, with the DLC, and with customisation and building their armies and collecting being a big part of what 40k fans really love, we want to make that a big part of DOW3,” said McDermott. “There’s going to be lots of opportunities to expand and build your own custom mega army. That’s definitely an area we want to invest in.”
“With the 40k universe, the tagline is: there is only war. We want to give you that greater sense of the war. The battle. The war that rages eternal, and make that feel like that’s really imposing and all around you, and you have your own personal, custom army in there.”
“Your army and my army should feel very different. That’s where we would like to get to.”
There are no solid Dawn of War 3 details just yet, but Relic have said that they’re planning a big announcement at Gamescom this year. What would you like to see them announce?[/quote]
Olawd.
I hope they add space battles as well as ground battles, I'd kill for Homeworld style Battlefleet Gothic.
[QUOTE=nightlord;31088267]No they don't.[/QUOTE]
They totally should though.

Oh wow. The ability to customize your army would be great. Not just Pre-set things like Death Korp of krieg or Catachan, but the ability to take parts from them and make your own.
I believe Mark of Chaos had some sort of customization, but i haven't played it so i'm not sure.
Also, Space battles.
Mark of Chaos had something similar yes. Before every battle you chose the units you wanted from a pool of units and you could upgrade their armour and weaponry, give the unit champions, musicians and standard bearers and the like. It was awesome.
Why does everyone keep saying they want no base building as it makes no sense for W40k?
I understand that they wouldn't make permenant buildings in the middle of a battle, but that's not what they do in Dawn of War. They are temporary buildings dropped in from orbit, or from the warp, wraithbone etc so they have a place to regroup and establish a beachhead.
They don't actually make anything.
Also, finally changed my avatar from the Halo: Forklift.

Missile launchers are enough if you want the ammunition to be that large.

How would it work?
I do hope they let you fully costumize it.
Terminators only army everyone with assault cannons OHHHH BOY HERE WE GOOO

Space fleet and a ground army, space fleet engages first then it goes to the ground then any surviving craft can help with the ground battle.

Parhaps segmented battles. Depending on your outcome or the number of troops/resources in general gathered in the first battle you get more stuff.
Like, first you must assault a ground base and take over it. If you manage to take the base in time you can use the planet's defence cannons to give you a boost or even an hability to shoot down the enemy's crafts on orbit
Shit, that would be so fucking sweet, just like that starwars game that had something like that

Could be like Star wars: Empire at War.

If the space fleet is always sure to go to the ground, then it's no fun.
How will success be measured in a space fleet battle?
I'd like it if we actually had a chance to win the whole fight in space.

Fleet Actions in 40K aren't pure win/lose scenarios, they are about creating, exploiting and making gaps and vice versa trying to defend against them. Could be interesting having to use warships to screen and divert attention away from incoming transports.

Why aren't they?
Also, using fleets to distract an enemy while your ground teams go to sabotage their main base would be pretty cool.
