Yeah the enemies in M2TW weren't varied enough.  If you played as scotland for example it would be quite some time before you fought anyone that didn't have a similar army composition to you.  While in Rome every nation was different, although some were different like the barbarians they had very individual bonuses.  You also had a feeling as the Romans that you were outnumbered all the time but you had superior training and tactics that if employed successfully would win the day.

I'd love a WHFB mod for Rome:TW.... :-(

They've got one of those too. I just haven't played it.

Oh really? Last time I checked someone started it and then GW smacked it over the head with a ban-hammer.

If nayone knows of it's existence you'd make me a very happy camper (and probably annoy the wife too as a bonus!)

In reply to overkill (msg #96):

I actually still have it on CD somewhere in my stack of CDs.

A bit more of Dark Millenium Online

Looks cool!  Must...resist....

On a random note, several years after buying it I am on the last campaign mission of the original Dawn of War (Normal). I'm not good enough to win on hard modes. As a player, and I'm sure this will change (and I know it doesn't work in multiplay) I have found no base that cannot be solved by whirlwinds.  But the later missions take forever.

Got the Blood Bowl Legendary for PC for Christmas...does anyone know if there is a Warhammer battle tabletop-esqe PC game?

Warhammer: Mark of Chaos and the expansion Battlemarch

Any good?

I found mark of chaos to be a letdown. The opening movie is great though.

In reply to Croatoan (msg #117):

Shadow of the Horned Rat, baby!

The Call of Warhammer mod for Medieval Total War 2 is the best Warhammer Fantasy Battle video game out there. I haven't played Shadow of the Horned Rat though.

I have.  It can be unforgiving.

Dark Omen was fun too

Brutally unforgiving.  Curse those squig hoppers!

Dark Omen was better, I thought, though it has been a long, long while since I played those games.  All I really remember about either of them is watching my regiments get pancaked by those twice-cursed squigs in SOTHR.

Dark Omen was better on the basis it had a difficulty curve. SOTR was more like a difficulty cliff, with the player at the bottom, and the rest of the game at the top.

I expect I will get Legendary Blood Bowl eventually.  Though I must be prepared to be bottom leaguer for the rest of my mortal days. ^^

Earlier today I saw a screenshot of Inquisitor Adrastia, an Imperial Guard hero character appearing in the new Dawn of War 2 expansion (Retribution).

I frothed a bit about this earlier on RPGnet, but I'll froth again here.  I think she looks -fabulous-.  And I'm stunningly impressed that Relic have managed to make a female character who looks feminine but badass, sexy yet without showing loads of flesh and cleavage.  She's not even wearing improbably high heels!  I wish that more female computer game characters are like this!

I have mixed feelings.  I've seen too much puritan witch hunter inspired art to say much else.  It does it's job, but just take the shiny off the sword and the I off the hat and you can see any number of her running through WAR any day of the week.

Dawn of War 2 blew up my graphics card ;_;

That is an excellent look. I love the puritan look.

I'm surprised that Space Marine hasn't been brought up yet, looks to be pretty good.

Out this week, in the UK at least.

Aw man I still gotta pre-order it i want to get the Emperor's Elite pack.

I'm dubious about my pre-order now, Game seemed to have made lots of changes to their website and my pre-order disappeared and came back but still haven't had any confirmation of it shipping ... although still early days yet, fingers crossed it comes for Friday though.
