You might have a point, technically he often says stuff on here before he goes all blog/twitter happy. Then this thread gets disappointed since to us he's repeating himself in his usual Smart Style™.

"Camera shakes from a massive explosion. It's like we're in a different world. A massive Vanduul fleet screams towards us. UEE and Vanduul ships trade body blows over the planet of Vega II. Fighters from both sides tumble through space unleashing weapon fire on eachother.

Camera races and weaves through the dozens of mini-battles toward the encroaching line of Vanduul capital ships. Camera pushes toward the bridge of the Vanduul Flagship.

The bridge of the Vanduul Flagship is not the expected dark, dank, violent, sweaty evil-looking place. It's almost frighteningly calm and serene. The Deck Crew seems almost unaffected by the panoramic destruction on their screens.

The Occuri (Leader of the clan) watches impassively. He is massive, even by Vanduul standards, and bears scars from multiple battles. He directs the movement of his fleet from his main console while his Thul-Occuri (Second in command), a wiry Vanduul in ground-assault armor, watches on.

The camera sweeps out of the bridge. . .

The Flagship's cannons focus and fire simultaneously. Camera tracks along with the bolts to witness the incineration of any smaller ships (Human or Vanduul) that happen to cross their path.

The massive laser shots arc towards the UEE Defiance, one of the largest carriers and focal point of the UEE line.

Shields suddenly fire up to absord the Vanduul shots.

Camera keeps pushing towards the bridge.

The bridge of the Defiance shudders. Officers and crew race around to keep up with the battle they are directing."

Profoundly dull


Not to prolong offtopic chat too much, but if I haven't found anything to enjoy in the first four missions of DoWII is that likely to change? The production quality is through the roof and I really want to enjoy it but marching angry, stocky white dudes around the map as they shout about how mad they are about angry, stocky green dudes gets old pretty quick

This is my first real warhams experience, I know a bunch about it from watching goons play bloodbowl and just general internet osmosis but I was really expecting it to be way more tongue in cheek about all the battle brother exterminate the xeno stuff :smith:

Sandi has a new thing listed on her resume site called 'Lagos 2035'. There is nothing on IMDB, and hardly any mention of it on google. The most detailed description I got was from the site of one of the other actors: http://www.dinawilson.com/

quote:

At the end of November I shot a super cool pilot called LAGOS 2035 where I play the daughter of a President in a future dystopian Blade Runner-esque world.

Wasn't that the time when Sandi 'I never take a day off' Gardiner was sporting that fake tattoo on her neck? Wasn't November a busy time for CIG? Weren't there months worth of CS tickets to respond to, and JPG ships to market?

I found the Dawn of War games a bunch of fun, and still fire them up from time to time. DoW2 goes down a different path, with the more tactical RTS, and I didn't care for it one bit. Different strokes I guess.

I always preferred DOW1, it was shallower in gameplay but I found it a lot more fun - it was kind of a traditional RTS where you could build up a big rear end army and just throw tons of guys and weaponry at the enemy. Definitely more appropriate feeling for warhammer than the small tactical squad gameplay which seemed to be what DOW2 was about.
Then again I always played as orks and they're all about the zerg :3:
