  • Fuck this unaccurate botler gimme a flamethrower!!!

    Probably the stupidest and strategicly incorrect intro out of all the dawn of war games but still cool to watch

    "FOR THE EMPEROR"

  • "Reinforcement have come.. Its the monolith.. We destroy that then it is over.. CHARGE!!!"

    2 speezz mureeens vs a Monolith.. ehehhe.. what are the odds??

  • Best. Strategy. Ever!

  • Hey guys why is the fuckin space marine soldier in our first person view we are role playing is not shooting some necron scum is he just a camera man

  • That flamethrower guys a fucking champ!

  • At 0:44 in the background- are those Terminators next to the Predators, or Wraiths?

  • @sprucemoose18 nope.. just Predators.. the smoke obscures the tanks.. but those are Predators

  • the marines wanted to melee the monolith

  • @HolyBomb maybe

  • I really wanna know..is that flamethrower fucked? lol haha

  • Necrons ftw!

  • lol wouldent you shit yourself if u where there .... i would XD

  • If ur gonna kill a monolith use predator ANHIALATORS not stupid destructors that don't destruct enough

  • @Fudgieownz322

    You use what you have at hand. They weren't expecting a teleport beam in and were just mopping up.

  • why is it that there are two versions of the same intro one with that and one with that space marine not getting ripped in half?

  • @craphunter

    The version without the SM getting ripped in half was a promotional trailer, so the violence was scaled back so younger viewers wouldnt see it. The trailer with the SM being ripped in half in the games actual intro sequence, and as the games rated with violence in mind, theres no problems having it in there.

  • @Fatman311 oh then my version is the trailer as its the one without the SM being ripped in half. :( sucks.

  • @Fatman311 Actually the one with the Space Marine not getting ripped in half was shipped out with the PAL version.

  • @Fr0st1989

    I live in Europe and my version didnt have this intro in it.

  • itsbn weird in the game normal guns do next to no damage but on the vid they destroy in one hit. also wouldnt it be awsome if they made a first person DOW game

  • @pokemonprotector they did

  • those land speeders got pwned like XD

  • the marines were trying too hard to look cool

  • If I was that marine with the sergeant I would be like,

    "Charge the monolith? Did you not just see that land speeder get shot down? The hell are bolters going to do against it anyway? There's also like a billion necrons in front of it. You know what...no. I'm going to hang out with that guy with the flamer. He's got the right idea. Act like your being useful while the predators take out the monolith."

  • the intro may not have the best tactics but it's show that the space marines are brave as hell and will do better then any modern soldiers

  • @Necrons: Good, ye beat a squad of the emperor's finest. Haz you a kookie.

    @ Space Marines

    *This feed is shown to new recruits*

    Brother Captain: This is an example as to what NOT to do in this type of situation!

    Scout: O.o

  • @hivefleethydra maybe they have melta bombs.

  • :28 this marine is tripping balls if he thinks he's gonna kill all those necrons with a monolith behind em lol

  • Infact HiveFleetHydra theyre all up for sacrafice look at IG for example

  • He could at least have had his entire force come with him. It'd at least let them scrath the monoliths paint. Remember, the imperium looks down upon needlessly sacrificing your life, if you want to die for the emperor, you should help accomplish something first before getting yourself killed.

  • What kind of idiot commander charges a monolith with two bolter marines? The damned things have the best armor in the game. He even had a few other marines at his disposal and he still only went with two. That marine commander is absolutely retarded.

  • Space Marines don't run away from their enemies even if they know they will lose.

  • "CHARGE THE MONOLITH, we can take it"

    "or not"

  • good game

  • I don't know why you guys are trying to explain this intro. All of the DoW intros are totally inaccurate.

  • True, but its not like we all have anything better to do at the time of said observations. Its a boredom killer, nothing more.

  • i think its just to get you excited and show off whats in the game.

  • wrost. tactics. ever

  • What about those two Predators? Have u considered the fact that these marines are only drawing the fire to give the heavier units a chance?

  • Two predators with heavy bolters and autocannon.. They don't have a chance.

  • God that intro was so bad it was awesome... "Its the Monolith! We destory it and it is over..." "Gee... sarge let me check I have 4.2 dps against heavy vehicles and it has over nine thousand hit points. LET'S DO IT!" "WE R SO BADASS".

  • i think the reason the marine is shooting is because hes recording the battle,they do it in modern warfare

  • takes courage to charge a monolith especially if you can't do jack to it

  • Think about how difficult it would be, to try to fire your massive bolter at some Necron's that are clearly out of range, while ordering your team, keeping in mind mission objectives, etcetera.

  • They're called Space Marines for a reason. Their mentally, physically and genetically enhanced into the finest killing machines mankind can offer. A bolter is in no way heavy, and a space marine leader is more than capable of directing his forces with no room for doubt or fear. The Codex Astartes helps direct their actions as well.

  • The Marine probably doesn't shoot because he's giving orders, and assessing the situation. At any point in the video he doesn't really HAVE to shoot his weapon either - except when the Wraith comes up behind him - but his comrades took care of that.

  • At 0:17 on the bottom of the screen you can see that he IS shooting. I think.

  • the guy is most likely an apothecary,they are the only marines who dont carry weapons

  • I don't remember the marine being split in half on the intro movie provided in the game. Must be a different video

  • I don't understand why the land speeders fly away.. the space marines shall know no fear! Probably the pilot forget this details XD

    So the commander space marines (or the sergeant) don't know how destroy the necrons.. never assault the monolith, but slaught the other units to force them to phase-out XD

  • XD omg so true also he has some BAD rolls lol

  • Everyone is going on about how the marine doesnt shoot. The reason is simple: its a cameraman from channel 4. You never see cameramen waving guns about on the news do you?

  • I honestly have no good way to reply to this comment.

    If it was an attempt at humour, it didnt work

  • Good job necrons.

  • LoL at the marine at 0:25.. owned

  • Okay people, I HAVE THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION!!!!

    "Why doesnt the space marine shoot?" Well, ive played dawn of war dark crusade, and there is a certain skill the necron commander can use. It disables most units in the surrounding areas ability to fire their weapon, and mostly only sargeants are the ones that can fire. If you see 0:25 that green light is the skill that disables the marines ability to fire their weapon.... HAPPY NOW?!?!?

  • Sorry, but your wrong. Thats the resurrection skill which brings 'dead' necron forces back to life. You can see the dead necrons reforming inside the wave.

  • The reason the space marine doesn't shoot is because he never sees his killer; watch closely enough and you can clearly see the marine very clearly firing at a necron IN FRONT of him; the necron that kills him strikes from BEHIND.

    Space marines may have many skills, but unfortunately seeing out of the back of their helmets isn't one of them. Outflanking your enemy is one of the oldest military tricks in the book; the space marines evidently weren't banking on 'corpses' coming back to life.

  • It was a space marine, not a skull probe. If you watch the conversation at the left side of the screen, you could see them saying: sm1: im out of bullets,,zomg n1 owned sm3. sm3: wtf nub sm2: lol sm5 owned n1. n1: XD sm3: bs sm1: wtf maphack *F4 voice command* sm1*team*: follow sm2*team*: kk sm5: hack!
  • PART 2 LOLOL n2: no n3 owned sm5. sm5: fu! n2: lol n4: nab *F8 voice command* sm4: wtf sm4: cheat n3: no cheat... n3: mlith sm4: wtf is mlith Monolith electrocuted sm6. Monolith electrocuted sm7. sm4: oh
  • 0:11

    that got changed and the marine does not go in half (i think)

  • yeah when they released the game they changed it

  • Continue the assault! Reinforcements are coming!!!!

    YAY landspeeders are the types of badass vehicles we need to save our asses lol

  • how come the animation ain't the same like the first dawn of war?

  • are u a marine? in this film or a skull probe.

  • That has already been debated hotly and nobody knows. IMO its a skull probe, purely because it doesnt fire any of its weapons.

  • It seems like the camera moves more like a head (attached to a body rather than grav motors) than anything, especially when it's running and looking around. I Think it's a Space Marine.

  • i laughed at the marine badass in the corner at 0:45

  • HAHA hes owning them xD

  • yeah this version is way better.

    i mean... it is warhammer!!!

    not a childish nintendo game lol.

  • hmmm... I got the steam version of this game and the space marine in the beginning just gets stabbed. there's no ripping in two. I wonder why.

  • This was a version of the intro shown on demo discs and online before the games release. I guess they figured that it was too violent and toned it down for the actual game. Personally I prefer this version myself.

  • same

  • (I know it works in the game) 0:44 whats a flamer going to do against something made of metal!!!

  • the same thing 3 land speeders will do in fully restored monolith :p

  • melt it

  • "They shall know no fear" Thats good, cuz I would of pissed my armor. DX

  • 0:59 ow....

  • Nice !

  • i am in love with space marines (and i am not a gay)

  • In Dawn of War dark crusade I always beleived that necrons were a really over powered race lol taht their main infantry could always revive and whenever i playd a enemy with necrons i always get pissed off and lose it was so BS back then but those were the days dawn of war was fun

  • on 0:15 pay attention cuz there is a bullet that comes from the front (the one that destroy the wraith)

  • my guess is it was a tech marine and he lost his gun. if he still had it he could of hit them with it as atleast SOME sort of defense

  • Tech marines are outfitted with augemetics designed for lifting heavy materials, repairing damage to armour etc. etc.

    On the battlefield, these can double as weapons. In the event a tech marine lost both his bolter and combat knife, he could still use the weapons attached to him.

  • scary robot in the beginning >:

  • I was wondering, is this through the eyes of a space marine, or a Imperium journalist filming the battle?

  • The Imperium doesnt have journalists. Its likely to be just a skull prove filming the events, as it doesnt have any kind of weaponry that is fired during the batttle and it gets crushed at the end anyway.

  • Sorry, imperium journalist sounds wierd, I meant to say if someone was filming the battle

  • I've always thought it was from the viewpoint of the SM giving out orders. When the camera is moving, it's moving in a way that mimics a two legged tread, plus it's pretty noisy, indicating the person is very heavy or armored. When it spots the necrons on the hill, it displays a bunch of targeting reticules as well.

    The only thing that's inconsistent is that, as said previously, no shots are fired, which I only caught now.

  • Its entirely possible that it was a Space Marine, possibly one with a heavier weapon, that it was incapable of firing in time, or possibly could have been damaged and not able to shoot, or its more likely that it could have been some kind of observation servitor, but ordinarily Space Marines dont use servitors on battlefields, and the rest of the Imperium only uses warrior or gun servitors on battlefields, so yeah, its just a mystery I doubt we'll ever know the answer to.

  • Actually the Imperium does have journalists they're called remembrancers and were assigned to follow the Space Marine legions preheresy until Horus mass murdered the ones assigned to his chapter and the rest of the Space Marine chapters got a tad bit more secretive about their bases and rituals and such.

  • Well, thats exactly it. The remembrancer orders were disbanded following the Horus Heresy as they were no longer needed, as Mankind's Great Crusade ground to a bloody halt for the next 10 millenia and the Imperium was reformed into the dark and brutal regime of 40k, in comparison to the enlightened empire it was originally designed to be.

  • Its very possible that it is a tech marine, as almost all the tech marines have optical implants.

  • This must be possibly a space marine of some sought

  • the necrons are unstoppable and on the actual game the wraith doesn't actually rip him in half

  • why do they just leave the guy using the flamethrower

  • i love the begining when the space marines exucute the necrons :D

  • 0:30

    Did he hit something??? ôo

  • Wow, the space marines are brave! two of them intend to charge into a fully powered monolith with an army protecting it...

  • Sounds kinda excessive. I mean, a second Marine is just overkill.

  • hahahahahahahah nice one

  • The monolith... We run towards it so that we get shot to pieces by the army surrounding it or maybe even the cannons on the monolith itself! Charge!

  • i hope dawn of war 2 or sumin has a intro like this just lookin from the angle of another alien race

    Plus ss intro sucked compared to this

  • Epic end

  • great example of game engine video..unlike SS

  • Cool Intro lives up to original DoW... Soul storms intro sucks though Pathetic bitches.

    The space marine Execution at 0:04 is sweeeet

  • i gotta admit, the original DOW intro kicks ass and is epic, but i do enjoy watching this one too, you don't see space marines executing Necrons, and see another marine ripped into 2 pieces in....

    FIRST PERSON!!! haha

  • Theres only blood though, whereas a SM has twice the amount of organs and guts a normal human does. I wouldn't have minded seeing that spill out, but then, I'm a big fan of gore in games, moreso then other people :D

  • To all those people who are asking, "Why doenst the space marine shoot!? WTF!?!" In the video you see that green beacon thing from 0:24, it prevents the space marines from firing their weapons to it, as far as i know, only the grey knights are immune to it. its happened many times in the game.

  • they must have cut the space marine getting ripped in half out of the real game.

  • wait what? charge the monolith with 2 Space marines? ARE THEY FRIGGIN MAD??!!

  • The Necrons really resemble zombies,their corpses come back to life,they regenerate themselves,and they're creepy.

  • Actually, you're pretty right. The Necron are zombies. They just have metal shells, advanced technology and intelligence, an intelligent leader, and their souls jump from shell to shell as they die.

  • I wouldnt call them intelligent. Most of them have gone mad or lost what intellect they had during their sleep. But yeah, the 40k universe wont be the same when they rape it.

  • Ya got that right! I've made them my 2nd best race! XD

  • the best intro is in warhammer 40k primary version ;-)

  • wow the space marine got ralped go chaos

  • Chaos? Where?

  • idk but they go raped by the necron  (GO CHAOS)

  • wow.... he got cut in half (why did they take that out?) i like da monoliths! but i hate fighting them :O

  • did they win this battle???

  • No they do fight back but the one by one they fall :D

  • I love the necron smacking the Space Marine in the back of the head at 0:25 :-D

  • Creepy intro...

  • How can I download the intro onto my computer? I have the game, and I need scenes from it for a music video I'm working on, but I can't get the movie.

  • try using FRAPS, its capable of recording in 3D program images, including games. I found it good for recording game intros, although it will not work with all games, and unless you download illegally, the trial version only records 30 seconds each vid.

    Oh, and this vid isnt the proper authentic Dark Crusade intro, its one that was on a demo disc from PC Gamer a month or two before its release, so its quite old now.

  • oh okay thats explains the guy getting ripped in half

  • There is like 2 marines left and there charging at a monolith well its there death

  • so true

  • blind faith and suicidal bravery are part of the awesomeness of space marines

  • i have this game but i lost it :'(

  • The flamer was awsome, he just stood their and fired their ass's, if he died he's got to be a Dreadnought. Lol Necron Lord was like "Ello English Piggy, Your All Going To Die Goodbye :D"

  • When the necrons came back they were like "Oh shit forgot they had godmode on..."

  • lol the flamer guy. OMG *whoosh* thinking i could do this all day. he only 1 not dead

  • Y is the intro censored in the distributed product? I WANT TO SEE THE MARINE TORN IN HALF

  • hahahahahahah

    little mens saying

    "The monolith!

    We destroy that, and this is all left!"

    then they charge

    mens

    little mens

    hahahahahaha

  • Can anyone tell me what the marines are saying to each other in this movie?

  • "In the name of the emperor, finish this."

    "Higher ground, we'll gain the advantage."

    "Continue the assault, reinforcements are coming."

    "The Monolith! We destroy that and this is over. CHARGE!"

  • I still have no clue why those two SM were commiting suicide there. I mean, did they wanted to out run the Necrons, then TEAR the Monolith apart with their bare hands?

    Either way, they're pretty nasty but if you have enough plasmarifles, they're pretty much fucked as it melts the shit out of them. Two Predator Tanks equipped with Twin-Lasers plus a Landraider and you should do fine with their vehicle units as well.

  • They thought they were in a book, where Space Marines actually CAN tear monoliths apart with their bare hands.

    Turns out, they were in a video game, where Space Marines die like dogs in the name of game balance.

  • I lol'd

  • i also lol'd, comedic gold that

  • i didnt see the landraider, but i hav no idea what the one guy was doing with a flamer against necrons. But the monloith took out a bunch of necs w/ the landspeeder

  • Actually, only one was shot down. The other two got away off-screen.

  • in my game the sm dosnt get ripedin hnalf why

  • I think that Necrons have no AP2 weapons, so they doesn't like terminators pretty much... But charging Monolith with ordinary Space Marines? :D

  • Even though I don't like the chaos, I have to say that they are more scary than the necrons

  • necorns can realive again like zombies

  • Hi, is this camera real, or it's just a movie???

  • do any of uz collect the models

    cuz i do and my spacemarine with a rockel launcher owned a monalith so the r shit

  • one single spacemarine destroyed a monolith....thats like not even possible....

  • With a rocket launcher and the luckiest dice roll in history, yes it is.

  • c he knows do u collect necs then have u seen the new starter\ box set orks and spacemarins

  • yea i used to collect necrons... good times,good times... but naw i haven't seen any of the new ish cuz the store in my city went out of buisness.

  • he was charging he's laser

  • The Monolith we destory this and this is over! Charge! *ZAP* Lol

  • Waaagh!!!

  • I like this intro showing the marine being torn in half instead of the one the game gives you. That's what that loyalist scum deserved, but it was to bad it wasn't Chaos that ripped him apart.

  • Shut up,Heretic scum,u ll be purged from this world xD

  • *imates voice* "u ll be purged from this world" oh put a 50 caliber in your mouth and pull the triger the epiror is a liveing corpse sastained by furnter the tirenids are over running the galixy,the necrons are refuseing to stay dead and chaos is geting more and more people to join them face it ITS A LOST WAR

  • yea, but the space marines and the imperial guard have one thing all the other races dont have. The Will Power to keep fighting. Necrons are mindless creatures just doing what their told, Tyranids are just dropped of to wherever they are and just want to kill things, Chaos doesnt even care, all they want is destruction. and orks? orcs are pathetic(not in close combat though) and are probably just fighting so they could have some kind of beer. oh yea, and learn to SPELL.

  • the will to keep fighting is always a plus but soner or later one of the races are going to tip the scales so much it will be almost inposible each race/faction has something makes them beter then the others as well ther falts

  • true, but remember this, the battles will never end. No one will be victorious, because in the year 40k there is only war...

  • and death

  • Says the 15 yr old,fucking kids.

  • Ahah, nice.

    There will always be war in 40k until GW stops selling well. =P

    But the thing is, Necrons never truly die. When killed they simply go back to their tomb worlds and become new again by a manufacturing process; and although some are animatrons, not all are, some still have personalities.

  • MOST of the imperial guards have the will power to keep fighting, those who don't just get shot by the ones who do =)

  • yea true....

  • any one played the new one soulstorm, i like playing as the imperial guard, with the baneblade tank, it would easily own a mammoth tank no doubt about it.

  • Necrons are easily the most powerful

  • chaos because the epiror is a bitch!!!!

    i love khorne and im considered a berserking in most games i play as i stab and hits you instead of shooting

  • lol chaos would cower at the sight of a Force Commander. and dig thier own graves to killthemselves for thier herecy

  • the best intro ever! Blood Ravens 4 ever!!

  • woot, makes me feel good i play necrons in the actual game. Its so awesome seeing the different armys move....so weird after ages of only watching non-moving models on a tabletop.Great game, great intro. Those space marines never had a chance =P

  • i just got this game and its fun. i dont have any of the other previous ones though. it ca
