I wonder to what extent the game will feature the more minor xenos races, the ones without army books but have lore or art. Your Hrud or Jokaero or Rak'gol.

Is the Umbra that weird orb from the Astartes web series?

People say there aren't any Skaven in 40k, but actually they are, they're just called the Adeptus Mechanicus.

One thing to add is that even AI are susceptible to Chaos, so there's a very real chance that too-smart an AC unit could suddenly sprout tentacles and spikes.

Anyone curious what W40k is like, the best W40k game series made is on sale on steam for 85% off.

Dawn of War 2 is a squad based RTS where you play as a space marine chapter, and Chaos Reigns is the expansion that lets you dip into heresy as well. It has a lot more rpg elements to it then most RTS, more like an Xcom as you pick which squad to start the mission with and will upgrade their abilities and equipment as you progress.

Dawn of War 2 Retribution is the one that lest you pick 1 of 6 races to play as and follow their story. Orks, Elder, Imp Guard, Chaos, Space Marine, Tyranids.

The original DoW 1 was more of a starcraft base builder with some outstanding expansions as well.

Dawn of War 3 is trash, don't bother.

All correct.

Is there anything on what the Necrons looked like before they were skeletonized? I assume pretty much just people, of an ancient Egyptian variety...

Owlcat will single handedly redeem the W40K franchise as a whole if they reveal a planet of space dwarfs i.e Squats.

Ogres, ie. Ogryns are still canon but BL killed off the Squats in the 80s/90s for some dumb reason.

Actually, Squats are back! In pog form!
