If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
Too bad this entire event was Non-Canon, but good effort on the LP Alien.

The ending narration really seems to care about the humans for some reason. I mean, I know the game is being played by humans, but they didn't choose to play AS the humans, right?

The narrative device of the campaign is that it's an Imperial scholar telling the story of the Dark Crusade on Kronus. IIRC there's unused dialogue in the game's files that make it more explicit, citing each victory narration as being from an Imperial history book.

"Welcome to pound town, Slifer slacker!"


One thing that I really dislike about the early Dawn of War games is the complete lack of Tyranids, heck Soulstorm manages to have nearly every race except Tyranids and the endless number of unique space marine chapters. What's especially annoying is Dawn Of War 2 does have them but I hate almost everything about the multiplayer of that game and find it a poor representation of Tyranids anyway, I think the Dawn of War resource method would've worked if like the Necrons they had only one resource but they went the other way, instead of power they use a version of requisition called Biomass.

Although the Last Stand is great and the Playable Hive Tyrant in that game is a massive Beast that just walks all over the enemy units, which is pretty accurate.

Yeah, boss?
You get dat package sent off like I askered yer to?
Yeah, put it right in the mail, I did.
Heh heh heh, good, good. And did yer use express post?
What? No, boss, just da regular mail.

You soddin idiot! Whaddya have ta go and do dat for?
I, I, I thought I'd save us a coupler bucks!
You filthy grot-lover. You've messed up me new Waaagh!
They said it should only take a week at most.
And you believed them? You got squigs fer brains? Da Kronus Post is da worst in da galaxy. "A week at most." Man alive. Might as well take a vacation.
I'm sorry, boss.
Ya, well, sorry ain't gonna make it right, will it?

Will it???
N-no, it won't.
Dat's right. It won't. Now get out of me sight.

*a few weeks later, in Or'es Tash'n*

O'Kais, you've received a package. No return address on it. It's pretty beat up. And it smells.
Oooo, stuff! Gimme, gimme, gimme!
O'Kais, what is it? O'Kais? Uh, O'Kais?
B-by the Ethereals. I--I'm going to need some time alone. Leave me.

Which is why I kind of wish Soulstorm had used them instead of the Dark Eldar or Sisters of Battle. A fight over an entire sector as part of the campaign would work really well as a motivation for Tyranids, and give a fairly unique ending. It helps that I think the Dawn of War 1 system would've worked way better for Tyranids as you can have them slowly taking over the map with Tyrannoformation and building up bigger and more monstrous creatures as they get more biomass, or just an endless swarm of really small creatures.

Heh heh, dat Greyskin, O'Kais, won't know what hit'im.






O'Kais, are our troops ready?

O'Kais?
H-huh? What?
I said, "Are our troops ready?"
What? Oh, yeah, sure, sure, whatever. They're ready.




The Earth Caste is completing construction of the Mont'ka Command Post.

The Mont'ka Command Post.
--The Mont'ka Command Place.
Our armoured units are ready to--
They, have, uh, the units have to--

O'Kais, I'm really not comfortable wearing your Crisis Suit. When are you coming back? Where are you?
S'fine, s'fine. Don't worry about it. Soon, soon.


And our Kroot allies?
Oh for fu--
Excuse me?
Sorry, I'm just, uh, busy. Busy working with our Kroot allies. Uh, Shaper, please, uh, please elaborate for me.


*sigh* Also ready, Aun'el. The Kauyon Command Post in the Kroot Quarter is prepared. My Shapers have readied he finest warriors to fight for the Tau.




Stealth teams are taking positions across the city, ready to strike where the enemy is weak.














Strike teams of Fire Warriors and Kroot packs will defend the streets and meet the enemy head on.
Yeah, what he said.




Excellent, Commander. I know that as long as you are in charge of the city's defenses, no ill will come our way.
Yeah, don't worry about it. I got it covered.


Patch me through to the troops, please.


Soldiers of the Fire Caste! Kroot and Vespid allies! Today, we stand as a bulwark against the selfish, the soulless, and the mad! Today, we drive back our enemies from our city and from our world! Today, more than ever before, we fight for the Greater Good! And we will triumph!


Nice speech. Long'n borin'. 'xactly what a speech should be, I suppose. It's too bad yer O'Kais is indisposed of. Heh.


So what now, Boss?
With O'Kais out'o da picture, we kill'is Greyskin Boss.
Sounds like a good time, heh heh heh.


Oi, Boss, dey're attackin'!
You are an affront to the Greater Good, Ork!
You callin' me names, Greyskin? Me boyz are gonna hafta teach ya some mannerz.
Typical. O'Kais, eliminate this pest.

O'Kais?

O'Kais!!
Huh, what? Oh, yeah, sure, whatever. I'll take care of it. Yo, uh, Fire Warriors. Do your thing and stuff.


Dey don't seem as hard as dey used to, boss.
They aren't organized. Without dere leader, dere a bunch o'useless gits.


Chop'em up, Boyz!




Oh Ethereals, they're killing us! Where's O'Kais? He'd know what to do!


Command posts, report.
Mont'ka Command Post online, Aun'el. Crisis Suits ready for combat.
The Kauyon Post is safe in the Kroot Quarter. We will defend it, commander.
Excellent. Send strike teams at the enemy, but protect your positions!


They'ze got dere especial bases set up on either direction, Boss.


Hmmm.


Well, judgin' from da fight dey're puttin' up right now, it won't matter which way we attack first.


Heh heh, lookit this, Boss! No hands!


Alright, listen up, Ork Council--dat's right Ork Council. I can be democratic, just like dat Greyskin, O'Kais. I'm gonna let you all make da decision. Do we go left and blow up dere wannabe Mek Boyz, do we go right and blow up dere (admittedly, pretty good at fightin') Kroot Boyz, or do we sez "zog it all!" and rush right up da middle to dere HQ?
