Dark Crusade - Intro

[kingkong381]

Man this video was the first 40k thing I ever saw (a friend let me borrow the game). Little did I know that would lead me to being something of a Warhammer fanboy XD Seriously I'm a sucker for just about anything with the Games Workshop labled on it.

FOR THE EMPEROR/GREATER GOOD/DARK GODS/DA WAAGH/THE HIVE FLEET/C'TAN/KHAINE!!! (delete as appropriate)

[haxajerta2]

@MBrepository9 You insult to the Greater Good! How could you spell TAU wrong?!?

[BuzzKillerize]

7 armies clash on this one world.... 2 were from the same side..... and they still kill each other.... lol...

[MBrepository9]

The Elder and the Necrons have been fighting on Kronus for thousands of years. They have been awoken by the invasian of the Space Marines, Chaos, Orks, Imperial Guard, and the Tao Empire.

[interviewproject1]

The battle of the 7 armies

[shan9usfc]

The secrets of Kronus shall not pass my lips - Davian Cool

[Jhon47807]

@shan9usfc *Puts on sunglasses* (Your comment)

[Tyiedren]

This was the best DoW I still play it time to time gotta love it lol just SS fucked everything up with it's flying units that sit there and sisters of battle who suck LOL

[jliu2003]

The inquisition would use the zergs as exterminatus target practice.

[MrStupidjoker]

tau rock!

[TH3KILLINGJ0K3]

any body know what the narrators name is me and my friend are in love with him and have been searching for him for ages!!!!!

[viewer8D]

anyone else has no clue what's zerg?

[KillerFishStick1]

Dark Crusade was the best original Dawn of War game.

[LoveNoteProjects]

@KillerFishStick1 yeh i really hate soul storm....army abilities and flying support was NOT a major part of the original table top game. and this add on fked up the beauty of how well this game adapted the table top concept. it wasnt about spamming abilities and crap...it was about relying on tactics and having each unit play a part in a grand plan. e,g. few units have infiltration? get some and protect them while they find ur foes. TACTICS!!! objectives and team work! thats how an army runs!

[Agent1W]

@LoveNoteProjects The cost of making such a game into real-time. Now what would be interesting if there were to be a 3D turn-based WH40K game.

[Blastroid9]

Wait, don't both the imperial guard and space marines fight for the emperor?

[VlogsWLawson]

@Blastroid9

Yes but they explain why they come into conflict in their intros

[Truth118]

@Blastroid9 I really liked Dark Crusade, but Space Marines fighting Imperial Guard was dumb. 

[Replican815]

Fuck Space Marines! The Imperial Guard are the true heroes of the Imperium!

[mstrblik]

@Replican815 not...

[Replican815]

@mstrblik Fair enough, even without posting any evidence, I could see where you are coming from, but still, there are only a million Space Marines, and billions and billions of IG... even though they die much more easily...

[colboy1fish]

At THE end

Ta Ta Ta Ta ......... Taaaaaaaaa

[Donciu89]

THIS IS EPIC

[kingturkey2]

I bought both Starcraft and WH40K.

I liked both.

Suck on neutrality, bitches.

[duskcrawler]

@kingturkey2 Both epic sci-fi series. Plus Halo, but SC and W40K top it. SC has an incredible gameplay and W40K has incredible stories. Horus Heresy is impossible to top and I'll be as modest as I can be, but I don't think even Starship Troopers can top it. Because of the epicness of SC and W40K, I'm writing a crossover involving the Protoss, Eldar, and Tau against some of the other factions of their respective universes.

[Karskin009]

@duskcrawler Well that sounds interesting, do you mind if you could post it on some site like Deviant art for us to read about it?

[duskcrawler]

@Karskin009 If only I had a Deviantart account. I've got a Gaia one and I may PM you the links when I get it up and running. So far, only the first part of it has been written, but the difficult thing about this alliance is how will the Protoss communicate with the Tau since they're non-psychic? My guess here would be that the Khala/Void would have to be separate from the Warp for that to work, but Idk for sure. I just go with that idea since its two separate univeses and that each race has its

[duskcrawler]

@Karskin009 own way of communicating. Terrans have biological means, Zerg have no means at all unless you count the Overmind and its Cerebrates, and the Protoss have gestalts from two different sources. This would be logical to differentiate them from the Warp, plus, it gives no means of FTL travel just some serious psychic power. If my buddy, Will, ever gives me his review on what he thinks of the introduction, I may very well finish it. So far, it involves Zeratul, Selendis, Karandras, Taldeer

[duskcrawler]

@Karskin009 Shas'O Kais, Shadowsun, and Kerrigan as the main baddie. There's also Tyranids in there because we all want to see the Zerg and the Nids tear each other apart.

[mstrblik]

@Karskin009 pwnd.....w/ the p....

[therealziman]

noob here

arent the space marines and imperial guards on the same side?

[colboy1fish]

I just don't get it why is kronus so important tHat seven alians battle to gain kronus for them selfs

[cotloner]

Ive watched this video a bilion times and i still cant get enough of it

[Kaiserhawk]

Anyone else notice that the Tau and the Imperial Guard are running up the same road?

[DeathToChaosGods]

@Kaiserhawk It's the Tau stronghold Or'es Tash'n, originally called Asharis by the Imperium.

[crackshack2]

starcraft takes place in a hillbilly sector of the galaxy

Warhammer takes place in the entire galaxy bitches

[layzienoy]

If you want to get into who copied who, they all copied starship troopers (1959)

[Virgil077]

@layzienoy

Pretty much. Particularly sci--fi universes that involve armored super humans. Just like how the fantasy universes owe their existence to Lord of The Rings.

[Totalwarcrazyman]

anyone who says sc copied warhammer 40k is rong, warhammer 40k is the original and all others are failed copies. and if you look it up at all, warhamer 40k lore is 10000000x more badass and more powerful than any other lore out there, there is no comparison between anything. maybe 1 space marine vs 100 sc marines and tyarnids simple scouting fleets could wipe out all of sc universe.

[boxtears]

@Totalwarcrazyman lol you are a stupid fanboy

[TheEMPEROR800]

@Totalwarcrazyman Not the gameplay dude , SC is total success of gameplay while Warhammer is great as a lore .

[GoodWill181111]

Why would the Space Marines fight soldiers of their own Empire???

[Ginger4lyf2k7]

@GoodWill181111 Never question Warhammer 40k's logic and stories. Your brain will just end up being frazzled. And it's "Imperium" not "Empire".

[NCTaikoDrumboy]

@GoodWill181111 The history of the Imperium is not without clashes between factions within the Imperium when their agendas or mandates conflicted. I recall a battle where the Orks were giving one of my Crimson Fist companies a rough time. Then the Sisters of Battle landed. We welcomed them. Their aid in annihilating the Orks was invaluable. Then they threw a heresy charge in our faces. A less-than-good day turned downright bad. End of story. WH40K Rule #1: TRUST NO ONE MORE THAN YOURSELF...

[boxtears]

Protoss are the best.

[Karskin009]

@boxtears yea they are, just make sure none of Wh40K's races are there to rain on their parade :]

[Teresthul]

Great game, soulstorm kinda ruined it with it's overwhelmingly huge amount of battlefields. According to Dawn of War 2, the space marines led by Davian Thule won the war for Kronus.

[50033836]

@Teresthul Soulstorm's number of battlefields wasn't the problem, it was the fact the game was half-arsed, unfinished, and the new races were dodgy and were full of gimmicks for their own sake.

Soulstorm, with more time, could have been a great game. But for me, Dark Crusade is the real end of the DoW series.

[Ginger4lyf2k7]

@Teresthul He did, and in ShitStorm Indrick BALDEALE lost 5 Companies.. Which is remembered by the rest of the Blood Ravens as an epic fail and shameful. Then again, Indrick was facing Stubbs....

[aussieblackhawk123]

lol i don't get it sisters or battle,imperial guard and space marines all fight for the same god emperor

[LegendaryA37]

@aussieblackhawk123 They all fight alongside each other. For Mankind and the Emperor.

[darkness007666]

Not true COTLONER. Had the forces of Chaos won, the would invade Earth.

[Dantex626]

they have all agendas xD

[breastinspector2]

Optimus Prime would have been better, he's always best at narrating :(

[RepublicCustoms]

don't you wonder why they pronounce "emperor" as "emprah"?

[HolyBomb]

For the Greater Good of the false emperor!!Whhaaaaagh!

[TauBroadside]

I love the tau!!

[robotsant77]

tau are the best

[Heretus]

the canonical endings get really really boring, every time the blood ravens or the imperial guard wins, have the people making such games lost imagination ? its pretty boring. if i was chaos i would have quit trying , if i was ork i would stay away from humies and kept fighting other orks at least i can beat them, the eldar(not dark ones) are emo enyway so who cares, necrons would just go back to sleep since they always loose anyway, the tau would have joined the imperial "for the greater good"

[cotloner]

Well the only way to move the plot forward in 40k is have Space marines or IG win because eldar flee from the scene and nothing is heard from them again, Chaos just sits on the planet to corupt it and nothing ever gets accomplished by the orks and tau/eldar just are too mysterious to be ruined by a bad game(and relic/thq aint got enough balls to try) As for necrons and nids, what you gonna do?

[darkness007666]

Had the Tau, Chaos, Ork or Necrons won then the Imperium would have been destroyed

[robotsant77]

in books the tau try to but invade them anyways

[UnstableUranium]

hold on, is this narrator the same as the one in soulstorm, he sounds slightly different

[warzoneproduction]

the space marines won

[PROkiller16]

@warzoneproduction No, it's unknown. Alexander and his regiment are seen in the Soulstorm loading intro so that means that they didn't get beaten but also Davian Thule appears later so he can't have lost either. What can be considered is that both of them eventually reached a point where no one was left and the fighting stopped.

[warzoneproduction]

@PROkiller16 Relic comfirmed the space marines won...2 years ago already. They didn't mention anything about both factions winning. I was never able to find out where the soulstorm intro is supposed to take place but even if you defeat the IG in dark crusade, the commander is not seen again so he must have fled. You should play Dawn of War 2 and the expansions, there are numerous references about the victory on kronos there.

[PROkiller16]

@warzoneproduction Not really, they didn't go straight and say "They won" and watch the intro to SS. That is Alexander and the 1st Kronus Liberator Regiment. I am played DoW 2 a lot and even then it doesn't hint to a complete victory. But we need to remeber, this is Relic.

Canon is hard for them and everyone else playing the game.

[Nothingisasitseems]

@PROkiller16

Play Dawn of War 2!

Soulstorm loading screen probably had Alexaner because they were too lazy to create a generic IG commander to kill.

As mentioned in-game lore makes numerous mentions to Blood Raven's victory including...

THIS VERY CHANNEL!

/watch?v=EXIQAKq6VEE&feature=c­hannel_video_title

[PROkiller16]

@Nothingisasitseems They could of had Stubbs getting raped. Primarch difficulty is under my belt, never actually straight says "we won", knowing Relic Alexander probably survived and the canon ending of DC is wrong. This is Relic.

[Nothingisasitseems]

@PROkiller16

Be glad it's not EA, Nod lost in THEIR OWN EXPANSION!

(And even their own campaign in CnC4).

[PROkiller16]

@Nothingisasitseems I've done C&C 4 as well. Going by complete Blood Ravens victory they should be bombarded by the Inquisiton, not only did they destory information about their chapter which is suspisous but they also kept pieces os Khaine which is heresy.

Retribution should just be "We've had enough of you, I want my bolter back" kaboom.

[pondolTW]

The tau's sucked all !

[Pavollasso]

BTW, For the greater gooooood!

[JCvideomaker]

I like the chaos marines

[010dragonslayer025]

Burn these heretics!

[ravencaww]

Oomans are pink and soft, not tough and green like da Boyz. They'z all the same size too, so they'z always arguing about who's in charge, 'cos no way of telling 'cept fer badges an' ooniforms and fings. Get 'em boyz!

Dakka dakka dakka!

WAAAGH! THE ORKS!

WAAAGH!

[Mukadez]

Orcs shall fall! The Empire's Elite's are here to Destroy! We have Colors to remember us! TO REMEMBER FEAR!

[VioletteChevre]

Since there are so many people here who likes to give out qoutes, here's mine.

They will cry out "save us", then i'll simply whisper; no!

[Anonypoke]

That's not original.

[serryale]

And then in soulstorm,the witch hunters should have been introduced,comprising the sisters of battle,linked to the secrets of the blood ravens,and the tyranids,as an arch enemy.And then in Dawn of war 2,the dark eldar,with campaing in style of DoW 1,with possibility to attack,or defend Comorragh,depending on which side you play.Damn,maybe i should have made this game,i have better ideas :D.

[overdriveremulated]

LOL where theres a crisis theres a crisis battlesuit:Plasma flys,Orks die...

[Redleader001]

LET THE GALAXY BURN!

[jubokusa]

For the Emperor! We shall crush you beneath our Holy Tank-Treads!

[ilikeshiny92]

For The Greater Good :)

[GeeKNoLife]

I love Tau. So easy to beat ;) Me an' my boyz will stomp 'em gud ! Those greyskins suck at melee ! ;P

[DARVGH1]

@GeeKNoLife sorry that your barbarian orks never come to closer for that ;)

[Cocarat206]

I'm officialy an Tau fangirl...

[bossshun9]

The Tau must prevail. The Greater Good can not be stopped for all races will unite under the banner of what is truly right. For Tau, we shall fight and die for the future.

[06196012]

the tyanids were not put here because it will be too hard to put them in thsi game because they do not use the same resources as the other races do and they will be very hard to design too

[Parkerkun]

Mostly because the game engine couldn't handle them / wouldn't do them justice.

[Parkerkun]

Lmao, Tyranids would pwn Zerg.

[warzoneproduction]

yeah Zerg are ripped from the Nids

[Parkerkun]

Uh.

Uh. Dude.

[Maciejka0111]

@Parkerkun

Zerg are a weakcopy of the Tyranids.

[AnotherClich3]

Thats sarcasm. Not foreal.

[06196012]

zergs will be wiped out by any race in warhammer

[AquaticIdealist]

@06196012 Except for maybe Tau, lack of numerical superiority, and the Zerg have their annoying infestation ability. Everyone else though, yep, Zerg would be target practice (or bait in some kind of Eldar plot.)

[BattlesiutXV22]

@06196012 hah, blizzard steal zergs from wh40k tyranids.

[Peptuck]

Tyranids weren't put in because of pathing issues. Imperial Guard and Orks already have enough trouble getting around with the giant squads they put out, imagine trying to get a few hundred 'gaunts moving around on these maps.

[dudehaha3000]

ya i hate trying to squize an army through a choke point and menovirin walkers it was domething they should of worked on more

[Pirategeek947]

damn, this is hard for me. i think the Tau are cool, and the orks are awesome(getting a army of them). Yet, i think i have go with the Tau in campgain. They got kroot. in the war game, i play as a inpendet defesne force(in other words, they were never re-conqured, and mainly work with the Tau as Mercs, or, go raids some imperial settelements)

[CommissarRed]

The tyranids are not in the DOW games. Though there is a mod for them.

[KathManifest]

The Emperor Blesses me with Strength

[Devastator170]

FOR THE EMPEROR All others bow to the Imperuim or be exterminated....your choice

[crazy4sian]

ELDAR FOR THE WIN.

[Macwylee]

WAAAAAGGHH!!!!
