why are the necrons sleeping... UNDER EVERY PLANETS SURFACE??? not at all to be a heretic, but WHO THE HELL WAS CHECKING THIS STUFF? you'd think that after...oh i don't know... ten freaking times we would be ready for this sort of thing? by the Emperor, how many planets have they infested?
Out of all the races, each one has it own special way to fight their battles effectively. So, depending on which race you want that will determine which you are great with. Alien Factions: Tau, Eldar, Dark Eldar, Necron, or Orks. Human Factions: Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines, Sisters of Battle, or Imperial Guard. Which do you believe is the greatest faction to fight with?
@armando429046 i hate their arrogance, and their armours and colours, their icons are ok, and their tanks are weak and horrible XD. pd: IG is awesome right next to the Tau
@theeyeofsauron1 imperial guard would be very powerful if u know to use it, u can overwhelm any army with them, and equip all squads with different leaders,their tanks are very resistant, more powerful than the space marines tanks
They said how everyone got involved except the Orks, oh well the Orks were gonna show up to a waaaagh no matter what so theres no reason to explain why they'd be there
So wait let me get this straight....The sisters of battle are to be the most feared army present? more terrifying than the monsters and traitors of the warp? Or a massive horde hell bent on war just for the fun of it? AND a army of the dead equiped with guns that bring utter devistation to anything alive? and we need to fear women in battle armor? okay I see
@Jpipooly That's because the Orders Militant, aside from being a capable military force, represent the Ecclesiarchy's political pull (which is more than a single IG Regiment of Marine Chapter), and fears that the entire planet may be corrupted by Chaos could easily end in large scale purges of the local population - meaning that even if your side wins YOU'RE STILL GOING TO DIE.
I'd call that a good reason to fear them.
You should read the fluff blurbs of their sectors on the map.
@ThunderPsyker The Guard was suspected to have helped cause the warp storm, but they refused to hand control over to the Blood Ravens for investigation so standard Imperial protocol was to kill them all. Unfortunately, the Blood Ravens were led by what is probably the most incompetent commander at their disposal.
@Lucker1992 for the sisters of battle, the imperial guard are a bunch of cowards, and the imperial guard seems the space marines and the sisters of battle like annoying screaming fanatics, so...
the campains of Dawn of War and Winter Assault was more interesting and not only a bunch of skirmish matches+some cool missions like Dark Crusade and Soulstorm
I'll tell you this. The game doesn't suck. It could've been better if it wasn't for THQ & Relic pushing Ironlore (the guys responsible for Titan Quest) too much. Thus rather than ending the first Dawn of War saga with units like Chaos Dreds/Terminators, Vanguard/Sternguard, the rest of the Aspect Warriors/Wraithguard, we've got something that the fans didn't want in the game.
So the Orks, Eldar, and Necrons plots are recycled from Dark Crusade. The Tau decide to expand their borders by taking on 8 armies rather then just the Imperial Guard. The Sisters of Battle decide to go on a near suicide mission by picking a fight with the Space Marines, and the Dark Eldar decided to attack the area and assume that other armies won't notice them. The Chaos Space Marines appearing out of warp storm is actually something happens in the lore
@hikarisalterio you're kinda behind...THQ or Relic confirmed that Imperial Guard has won the Kaurava system...so yeah the Imperial Guard Dominated over the Space marines...only few survied like Cyrus himself...i believed he disagreed the plans of their actions in Kaurava but he had to follow orders
lol when he says 'the last army to arrive, and probably the most to be feared, the sisters of battle' im like 'WTF?!' my necron lord could practically walk into the middle of the stronghold and go 'sup blud, IMMAH FIRIN A BIG LIGHTING STAFF' and obliterate them all.
i just realised something.kaurava 4 looks like mars right?and the void dragon is hidden on mars.necrons used to purge worlds that old ones made habitable.mars is suspected to have had life on it before but just as in the necron victory on kronus everything became sand and the air was thinned.and with different necron serving different c'tan it would mean that there are necrons worshiping dragon just as nightbringer and deceiver.so humanity has a huge army of sleeping robots in their backyard.
@erestor629 Because the Tau sept in the campaign is the Falshia sept and its colors are red all the Tau septs are diferent the only army that is equal in al DoW is the SM with the Blood Ravens
i still think its stupid that the imperial guard, astartes and sisters of battle all fight each other.....its just stupid....they surly would all ally (in fact they wouldnt need to as that they are already) to claim the system etc for the imperium for which they are all a part of.......
After hundreds of years of planetary depletion, the necrons were awakened exactly at the beginning of this conflict... and then the tau came and builded a giant fortress in 2 hours, concepted and created a unique cannon on a moon, which can fire on every place in the system without a self rotation of the moon... and all factions had no complete voiceacting... oh please... ironlore realy ruined this addon.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
so this "emporer" it's called is a corpse on a golden toilet, being fat and not doing anything for a gabillion years and three factions worship him why...?
Yes you are correct. Not to mention, he created the Space Marines and advanced human technology to the point where they were able to compete with all the other races out there. If it wasn't for the Emperor, then all of humanity would fall under Chaos. Screw chaos.
@DrunkenKangeroo Sarcasm? I couldn't tell. But the Emperor will rise again, greater and more powerful than before. He'll be stronger than Q of Star Trek or the Ancients of of Stargate or the Jedi or Star Wars.
i know right, i mean the emperor only helps stop chaos deamons from destroying the universe, make ships go through the warp safe and soundly and is technically holding the imperium on his own apart from 12 other people (the high lords of terra)
Tau were all like"YEAH we got big guns and giant mechs!!!!!!!!!!!" then a chaos space marine blew up a mech and they wer like"ZOMG IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZOR"
Dark Eldar are like "Ok, that's Bull, Hey I know! Let's finally expose ourselves and try to Kill everyone!" *Dark Eldar Defeat Begins 10 minutes afterwards"
IG says "Come on, Guys! We just want peace!" *gunshot* *IG Ending begins 30 minutes afterwards*
@10Maloy no dark eldar came for souls to eat and take slaves for work the sisters of battle just came because they were going to take over and cleanse the system with their girly habits and kill everyone excpet girls lol u forgot about taus but i think taus came to conquer but was instead cnqured the moon lol
and ours is don't leave until the planet is the emperors, so if we must fight our huge ass brothers, we will... necrons wake up because of the freaking violence, then the eldar come to destroy them. Chaos is freaking blood-drunk and noticing all the freaking "Chaos" (lol) they attack aswell... FOR THE GREATER GOOD
Dark Crusade is the best story... humans doing their thing, taking planets and taking names, oh shit, the Tau have this planet, too bad that a warp storm destroyed our colonization ships that were going to their planet when they were retard 6k years ago. holy shit the orks are here, some how we beat them but some freaking retards shoot down their escaping ships, WHO THE FUCK DID THAT? we have our orders and the BR's have theirs and that is stay at the planet and dont leave until it's ours
one thing i don't like about the dawn of war games is that they have the IG fight the space marines and in soulstorm the IG fight the space marines and the sisters of battle
just to say, i cant believe in the codex now that the eldars are the strongest race! they can crush a imperial guard bone with their bare hands! mainly because they are gatting taller, while the space marines gene seed are now not as best as before. thus, making the space marines now shorter and weaker.
Well, where was he born the first time? or is it mentioned? Because wasn't it noted that he was somewhat a "Reincarnation cycle" shaman or something along those lines? And didn't he seal himself off from the world at some point?
Oh well, I just like Space Marines, Orks, and Nids. That might bias me a bit.
Link me books if you can, to either prove me right or wrong, i just love reading the lore.
Short version: Ages ago, shamans guided humanity. They always reincarnated. but soon, it was noticed that less and less were being reborn. This was because the Warp had become a nasty place. Soon, there would be none of these wise men to guide humanity, so they made a plan. 1000 shamans committed ritual suicide and theirs souls merged, forming a New Man, one who would not die. Thus, in ancient Anatolia, the Emperor of Mankind was born. Google 40K fluff for lore if you're interested.
Yeah, i never liked the Space Marines or the Sisters of Battle because they are too fanatical. Its ok to beleive in your religion, but thats taking it a little overboard. I have a semi interesting question. If the Humans worship the Emporer, does that mean God and Jesus and Cristianity in general is basically dead? Very interesting. Or is the Emperor basically god reborn?
Whoever said that Warhammer 40k is based in this world? It is Sci-Fi after all.
Also, Not every fantasy religion is based off of, or even cares about Judeo-Christian Theology. There is more then one point of view about religion. No-one can tell right or not (It IS faith after all.)
It COULD be said that 40k might have taken place AFTER Fantasy Warhammer (Sigmar = Emperor? The hammer and beliefs intersect a lot.
In the early days of 40k, the planet Warhammer Fantasy takes place in was actually a part of the 40k galaxy, one of many human worlds isolated by Warp Storms. Sigmar was one of the two missing Primarchs as well. Nowadays however, I believe that they are officially two completely different universes.
And as far as I know, 40k is based off this world. The Emperor was born in Anatolia, in modern day Turkey.
Games Workshop has indeed stated that both Universes are independent of one another, they don't want any cross overs between the two. It could explain a lot if the two were connected in some way, but GW has the final say on what is or isn't official cannon.
yes, and if you wiki warhammer 40k's imperium, the capital planet is terra, then it has (Earth), i find it funny that the turks would keep the name Anatolia, since it is greek and the two countries are rivals...
Well, it is the year 40,000 and the Emperor was born sometime in 8000 BC. There wasn't a Greece or Turkey as we know it, just a region. When Horus asked where he was born, the Emperor was probably just running through his memory, like, "What did they call that place again? Keeps changing every few millenniums, how am I supposed to remember... ah whatever... Anatoly!"
In the codex necrons they show Mars, as well as in some other codex (i forget which one) they mention Earth. Isnt the Emporers body on Earth? So i assume it took place 39,000 years from now.
No, they are different universe. While they appear to have similar characteristics, (both by Games Workshop)the undead aren't Necrons to the exact point. Orks don't side with Chaos. They always bicker (excluding Winter Assault) The Eldar,elves, don't side with the Imperium. (excluding Winter Assault and the Original Dawn of War, because both were temporary) The Imperium has many planets under its control. The Warhammer Fantasy occurs only at one planet. There are no dwarves in Warhammer 40k.
And their set in entirly different universes....WH40K is "supposed" to be the "real" future in a way, while warhammer in totally unrelated and set in a different universe....
however, it is entirely possible in the universe of 40k, that a planet exists that has the fantasy realm on, maybe blocked of by a warp storm. You are forgetting the fact races have been taken out from GW's works. Such as first edition fantasy had a army called Fishmen/Menfish. Tht is wer the idea for tau came from.
@TheWolfBearProject "The fact races have been taken out from GW's works" means, like Big brother would to tell, that they don't exist. The races aren't the same. They have similarities. The undead in Warhammer fantasy are the 40k Necrons. Necrons who have flesh are Necrontyr. they never had flesh before their "immortality." Yet the undead, who have flesh in the fantasy, play similarly to the Necrons in their metal casing.
It's said that the Emperor often guided humanity in the past, secretly in disguise. Many of the world's great leaders, historical figures, and messiahs were all actually the Emperor. So one of the possible implications is that the Emperor was Jesus. So, maybe when the Emperor revealed himself at last, he explained all this stuff. He himself was not big on religion & superstition, preferring science. I don't think there's a clear answer, but there's no mention of Christianity in 40k.
i also kind of dont get it still, they serve under one emperor,wouldnt the emperor tell them to stop wasting their time fighting each other and unite against the enemies of the imperium?
In the end it comes down to paranoia and overwhelming fanaticism, and pride.
Each side believes its way is the only way, and each side views each other as a threat.
Sisters and Marines probably thought "Chaos here, they must be with it" and IG just wanted "To be better then Teched up Uber-Men/Women" (Even if sisters are not as uber-ed as SM.)
well in the games they fight each other because they are ordered not to withdrawl from the planets, so if one such as the SM's advances to the imperial guard they will compliment each other briefly, then say sorry, but we can't leave, that's the orders, so you will have to kill us if you want this base... (this is what happened when i was SM's in dark crusade
again, the emperor can't talk, he was wounded when fighting his only son, Hanus or something like that, that went to Chaos, and the only thing keeping his SOUL alive is the chair his body is in or something like that
The Blood Ravens have an unusually large number of Librarians among their forces, but they are still largely compromised of regular marines.
The Chapters of the Space Marines do not pool resources except when co-operating during a campaign, and this includes witholding any information and/or artifacts stored within their individual Librariums, unless sharing these things are critical to the succes of the campaign.
they all fight for different reasons lol imperial guard fight because its there system they have had charge of it for a long time and they have been ordered to protect it and space marines had to come because the chaos space marines appeared there and there chapter couldnt risk a crusade against the imperium and sisters basically the same as the space marines except a lil different
Usually they don't. However, since they answer to different parts and a pangalactic Imperium is a bureaucratical nightmare, they aren't often coordinated very well. IIRC the Sisters are the military branch of one of the Inquisition orders, the IG are the army of the Imperium, and the Marines are an autonomous force within the Imperium. I've read that something like that may happen, but is quite rare.
I'm not sure, they didn't really explain why they fought each other on this campaign, unlike Dark Crusade. But if they were all teamed up, then there would only be victory of the Imperium, there would only be campaigns for those 3 races.
To make things clear, I'm not slagging off Soulstorm completely. I have the game and I love the actual gameplay in it, I just feel Iron Lore did an inferior job.
This introduction doesn't explain why the three Imperium factions start fighting each other. The story doesn't seem half as good as Dark Crusade. If you ask me, the story is basically: A warp storm appeared in the Kaurava system, which screwed everyone... correct me if I'm wrong.
the imperial factions are fighting each other because: Blood Ravens want to cover up there past, IG wants to be autonomous, and Sisters of Battle want everthing that is remotly suspect "cleansed"
you dont need the other games to play but you need them to play as all 9 races in multipkayer or else you will only play as the sisters of battle and the dark eldar in multiplayer
If the Tau has a close border then the games take place in the ass end of the universe.

Dark Crusade is the best story... humans doing their thing, taking planets and taking names, oh shit, the Tau have this planet, too bad that a warp storm destroyed our colonization ships that were going to their planet when they were retard 6k years ago. holy shit the orks are here, some how we beat them but some freaking retards shoot down their escaping ships, WHO THE FUCK DID THAT? we have our orders and the BR's have theirs and that is stay at the planet and dont leave until it's ours

just to say, i cant believe in the codex now that the eldars are the strongest race! they can crush a imperial guard bone with their bare hands! mainly because they are gatting taller, while the space marines gene seed are now not as best as before. thus, making the space marines now shorter and weaker.

Well, where was he born the first time? or is it mentioned? Because wasn't it noted that he was somewhat a "Reincarnation cycle" shaman or something along those lines? And didn't he seal himself off from the world at some point?
Oh well, I just like Space Marines, Orks, and Nids. That might bias me a bit.
Link me books if you can, to either prove me right or wrong, i just love reading the lore.
TheTallestDwarf 3 years ago
Short version: Ages ago, shamans guided humanity. They always reincarnated. but soon, it was noticed that less and less were being reborn. This was because the Warp had become a nasty place. Soon, there would be none of these wise men to guide humanity, so they made a plan. 1000 shamans committed ritual suicide and theirs souls merged, forming a New Man, one who would not die. Thus, in ancient Anatolia, the Emperor of Mankind was born. Google 40K fluff for lore if you're interested.
dunnono00 3 years ago 3
Yeah, i never liked the Space Marines or the Sisters of Battle because they are too fanatical. Its ok to beleive in your religion, but thats taking it a little overboard. I have a semi interesting question. If the Humans worship the Emporer, does that mean God and Jesus and Cristianity in general is basically dead? Very interesting. Or is the Emperor basically god reborn?
Necronlord101 3 years ago
Whoever said that Warhammer 40k is based in this world? It is Sci-Fi after all.
Also, Not every fantasy religion is based off of, or even cares about Judeo-Christian Theology. There is more then one point of view about religion. No-one can tell right or not (It IS faith after all.)
It COULD be said that 40k might have taken place AFTER Fantasy Warhammer (Sigmar = Emperor? The hammer and beliefs intersect a lot.
(Fanaticism is funny as long as it is in game...)
TheTallestDwarf 3 years ago
In the early days of 40k, the planet Warhammer Fantasy takes place in was actually a part of the 40k galaxy, one of many human worlds isolated by Warp Storms. Sigmar was one of the two missing Primarchs as well. Nowadays however, I believe that they are officially two completely different universes.
And as far as I know, 40k is based off this world. The Emperor was born in Anatolia, in modern day Turkey.
dunnono00 3 years ago
Games Workshop has indeed stated that both Universes are independent of one another, they don't want any cross overs between the two. It could explain a lot if the two were connected in some way, but GW has the final say on what is or isn't official cannon.
LerroyJenkinsGT 3 years ago
yes, and if you wiki warhammer 40k's imperium, the capital planet is terra, then it has (Earth), i find it funny that the turks would keep the name Anatolia, since it is greek and the two countries are rivals...
Hellasrulez 2 years ago
Well, it is the year 40,000 and the Emperor was born sometime in 8000 BC. There wasn't a Greece or Turkey as we know it, just a region. When Horus asked where he was born, the Emperor was probably just running through his memory, like, "What did they call that place again? Keeps changing every few millenniums, how am I supposed to remember... ah whatever... Anatoly!"
At least that's how I interpret it.
dunnono00 2 years ago
anatolia... lol there wasnt a turkey until the ottoman empire... and yeah 8000 bc is a while before the greeks lol
Hellasrulez 2 years ago
Yeah, I know it's anatolia, I was just using what the Emperor said in the books when Horus asked him where he was born. He just said, "Anatoly"
dunnono00 2 years ago
In the codex necrons they show Mars, as well as in some other codex (i forget which one) they mention Earth. Isnt the Emporers body on Earth? So i assume it took place 39,000 years from now.
Necronlord101 3 years ago
Well actually, It should be 38,000 years from now because we are in the years of two thousand an the game is called warhammer 40,000

JamesCurtin1 1 year ago
No, they are different universe. While they appear to have similar characteristics, (both by Games Workshop)the undead aren't Necrons to the exact point. Orks don't side with Chaos. They always bicker (excluding Winter Assault) The Eldar,elves, don't side with the Imperium. (excluding Winter Assault and the Original Dawn of War, because both were temporary) The Imperium has many planets under its control. The Warhammer Fantasy occurs only at one planet. There are no dwarves in Warhammer 40k.

thats because warhammer fantasy is in the past....and warham,mer 40k is in the far future, and eldar arnt elves.

DrunkenKangeroo 1 year ago
fair enough
superstrok99 1 year ago
however, it is entirely possible in the universe of 40k, that a planet exists that has the fantasy realm on, maybe blocked of by a warp storm. You are forgetting the fact races have been taken out from GW's works. Such as first edition fantasy had a army called Fishmen/Menfish. Tht is wer the idea for tau came from.
TheWolfBearProject 1 year ago
@TheWolfBearProject "The fact races have been taken out from GW's works" means, like Big brother would to tell, that they don't exist. The races aren't the same. They have similarities. The undead in Warhammer fantasy are the 40k Necrons. Necrons who have flesh are Necrontyr. they never had flesh before their "immortality." Yet the undead, who have flesh in the fantasy, play similarly to the Necrons in their metal casing.
RockyX456 1 year ago
i agree, yes but still my point remains
TheWolfBearProject 1 year ago
@TheWolfBearProject No offense intended.
What point is that then?
RockyX456 1 year ago
It's said that the Emperor often guided humanity in the past, secretly in disguise. Many of the world's great leaders, historical figures, and messiahs were all actually the Emperor. So one of the possible implications is that the Emperor was Jesus. So, maybe when the Emperor revealed himself at last, he explained all this stuff. He himself was not big on religion & superstition, preferring science. I don't think there's a clear answer, but there's no mention of Christianity in 40k.
dunnono00 3 years ago

amerigovespucci 3 years ago
In the end it comes down to paranoia and overwhelming fanaticism, and pride.
Each side believes its way is the only way, and each side views each other as a threat.
Sisters and Marines probably thought "Chaos here, they must be with it" and IG just wanted "To be better then Teched up Uber-Men/Women" (Even if sisters are not as uber-ed as SM.)
TheTallestDwarf 3 years ago
well in the games they fight each other because they are ordered not to withdrawl from the planets, so if one such as the SM's advances to the imperial guard they will compliment each other briefly, then say sorry, but we can't leave, that's the orders, so you will have to kill us if you want this base... (this is what happened when i was SM's in dark crusade
Hellasrulez 2 years ago
again, the emperor can't talk, he was wounded when fighting his only son, Hanus or something like that, that went to Chaos, and the only thing keeping his SOUL alive is the chair his body is in or something like that
Hellasrulez 2 years ago
The Blood Ravens have an unusually large number of Librarians among their forces, but they are still largely compromised of regular marines.
The Chapters of the Space Marines do not pool resources except when co-operating during a campaign, and this includes witholding any information and/or artifacts stored within their individual Librariums, unless sharing these things are critical to the succes of the campaign.
Tzilandi 3 years ago
they all fight for different reasons lol imperial guard fight because its there system they have had charge of it for a long time and they have been ordered to protect it and space marines had to come because the chaos space marines appeared there and there chapter couldnt risk a crusade against the imperium and sisters basically the same as the space marines except a lil different
matthewmcewan 3 years ago
Usually they don't. However, since they answer to different parts and a pangalactic Imperium is a bureaucratical nightmare, they aren't often coordinated very well. IIRC the Sisters are the military branch of one of the Inquisition orders, the IG are the army of the Imperium, and the Marines are an autonomous force within the Imperium. I've read that something like that may happen, but is quite rare.
TheShamanSZ 3 years ago
I'm not sure, they didn't really explain why they fought each other on this campaign, unlike Dark Crusade. But if they were all teamed up, then there would only be victory of the Imperium, there would only be campaigns for those 3 races.

This introduction doesn't explain why the three Imperium factions start fighting each other. The story doesn't seem half as good as Dark Crusade. If you ask me, the story is basically: A warp storm appeared in the Kaurava system, which screwed everyone... correct me if I'm wrong.
SupremeMuffin 3 years ago 5
The story sounds like a bad fanfiction
"So there's this system with Guard on it.. and Orks too.. and Necrons but they don't know that.
And then Chaos comes and yea it's cool but then oh no!
The Space marines! And the Space Marines also attack the Guard for some reason.
And the eldar hate necrons so yea.
And Dark Eldar, hell, they can come too.
Sisters of Battle want to kill everyone even Space Marines lol.
Tyranids are scary so they're the only ones who can't come.
Oh, and warp storm ftw."
