Warhammer 40k DoW2 Chaos Rising: Singleplayer Doc.

I have to say i never bought the first DoW2 game. How was it? I mean these game seems to have patheticly short lenght on singleplayer but they did add that DLC pack that introduced a minigame atleast....

I liked the fact that we get a new planet and a tyranid-infested spaceship enviroment in the campaign and the good/evil system.

Also how did Eliphas come back?

He won on Kronus? But that's extremely unlikely.

You're sure it's Eliphas the Inheritor from Dark Crusade?

Yes I'm sure of it! But I think the Chaos gods have some use for Eliphas and decided to revive him one last time.

If he's failed at least twice, I fail to see why they'd be concerned with him. Ah well, I guess they just wanted to use old characters.


So, what are everyone's favourite mods for the Dawn of War series? My absolute favourite is the Tabletop Round Up mod (TTRU), with Firestorm over Kronus coming a close second.

Mine is firestorm over Kronus 3.5 cant wait for the soulstorm port, which will have the chaos dread, Great unclean one and the chaos lord in terminator armour as well as the Dark Eldar and inquistion factions.

Kharn the betrayer has died at least twice I can think of, yet Khorne breathes life into him each time. The offerings he gives Khorne more then make up for it though.

And Lucius the Eternal kind of thrives on being killed. Everytime he dies Slaanesh puts his soul into a new body.

Not the mention Warhammer fantasy totally decided to retcon Storm of Chaos simply because they wanted to keep selling models and whatnot out of characters that died or so.

Yes, but Eliphas was worships Chaos Undivided, and he really hasn't done much. He failed during the Horus Heresy, was put into the Basilica of Torment for 10,000 years, came out, and failed again. Kharn butchers whole worlds, and Lucius serves Slaanesh extremely well. Eliphas, from what I know, hasn't been such an amazing benefit to the Chaos Gods to warrant such a large expenditure of power on him.

Yea Eliphas isn't really favoured with all of the gods. Kharn and Lucius served their gods well so they come back every time. Unlike Abaddon who has all the gods on his side Eliphas has none. He failed miserably during the Horus Heresy, was placed into a torture chamber for 10,000 years and came back to serve on Kronus. He was killed as he had outlived his usefulness. I see no reson why he came back.

Or they retconned it so he escaped instead of died.

Also who was the Chaos Space Marine in Terminator armour beside Eliphas, a chaos lord as well?

True enough. I never actually played his story in DoW.


I know what happens to Loken and Tarik Torgaddon, but what happened to Aximand? I dont actually remember him dying, but I cant really recall hearing anything about him.

Also, I really like how they descibe Abaddon as having a voice so deep it is noted by almost everyone, and actually I think i recall hearing that it was harrd to understand via the vox channel.

They are deities of Chaos - their rules and thinking is beyond mere mortals. Or in other words, they and their actions are as random as .... hell. They don't generally need any reason for what they do.

They are only emotions given consciouosness. Besides, according to what some good Warhammer's lore addicts, the gods don't want to "win" the war with the Emperor. They don't care about territorial conquest or the wishes of their followers.

They are only interested in one thing: to feed, to grow, that the emotions they favor run rampant in the minds of mortals. The current stalagmate IS WHAT THEY DESIRE - the perfect state of the galaxy to produce their preciuos life blood: the cries of mayhem and desperation, the upheavals of hope and fixation. An eternal or long-lived sea of it.

They may even have engineered the present situation.

Excellent points Nerub, as usual. Guess that's the only way Eliphas could have survived considering he exploded in a shower of blood.

I think Eliphas came back as part of "The Plan" and the Plan is to lure your forces to make harsh decisions and fall into corruption.

Eliphas is mearly like what Mal'ganis is in WC3--a tool by a higher power to lure you into darkness.

Your Space Marine theme is way off. Doesn't really go with the whole knightly order thing they have gonig on IMO, as well as the xenocide. Good song though.

So, having finally gotten Dawn of War 2, I enjoyed it a lot. The campaign is story-based, which is a welcome relief from DC\SS, and the finding\winning wargear in\from missions was a nice touch. However, there is a surprisingly low number of units, which I feel detracts from the feel of it. Overall, an improvement over Dawn of War, but I preferred Company of Heroes.

Grandfather Nurgle has blessed me with sickness in an attempt to win me over.

He tried that with me as well but my faith in the Emperor staved off his wretched plagues.

Id say a Sister of Battle needs to come help me, but that would probably end with my crucifixtion on a penitent engine. Which would kind of ruin the mood, at least partly.

Yeah, I doubt they'd appreciate the whole pus and sores kind of thing. The penitent engine also poses a lot of problems. But it's either that or xenos help you out.

My faith in the Emperor has restored my health.

Also, while Im thinking about it:

Kharn the Betrayers axe, Gorechild, is the twin of Gorefather. Its said the Angron them both during the heresy. Does he still have Gorefather? Was it ever mentioned how Kharn actually received Gorechild since Angron still "lives?"

Talking to my friends about our chapter we made my friend made a really cool scenario of my Master of the Forge just juggernautting into a chaos Dreadnought and dismembering it. Its unbelievable and probably wouldnt happen in a game, but as a story moment it was pretty awesome.

Also the obliterator virus fusing a bunch of servitors to a decommissioned dreadnought. And my buddies scout walking in a seeing it, then leaving the room. Pretty much was him whistling acting like he was opening a door, saying "Oh you're busy, Ill come back later" in a calm monotone voice, turning around and running.

A recurring occurence in our story it the sudden appearance of the Umbral blot, a gift from some chaos god that hunts our chapter. Its invincible, slow moving, and completely out of the games workshop universe, but we've always wanted to use a D&D Umbral Blot as a monster in a story. Our space marines attack it each time in futility, but acknowledging they are pretty much just wasting ammo.

We each have a hero and a basic character.
Mine is Master of the Forge and a Space Marine Terminator
Jakes a Librarian and a Space Marine
Steves a Scout Captain and just a Scout (I think, he never really finalized his ideas)

Pretty much the idea was to have all sides covered, my side being the heavy, jake the main force, and steve the light mobile portion.

Our ideas would never be approved by GW, or even a hardcore fan of the stuff, but we just do it for fun not accuracy.

Sounds pretty awesome, Ded_Chikn. No idea about Gorechild though.

Hey guys, I was wondering what the general opinion of TT players when it comes to paying someone else to build/paint your army? I'm thinking about starting a Necron battle force and gettting Bluetablepainting.com to paint my army. (Since I don't have an artistic bone in my body.)
