    Hey look, someone from Wales. Lemme ask you this, why does your language not have vowels?! Are you guys trying to keep people from understanding it?! Trying to speak Welsh is one of the hardest languages I have tried to learn. It. . . it keeps me awake at night. . . it mocks me.

    I should ask you why English has vowels, given that Welsh is much older than English.

    Maybe its the power of the vowels that enabled the English to conquer Wales?

    I seriously do hope they upgrade the painter, as painting your models in tabletop was often arguably more enjoyable than playing with them.

    I guess Tyranids didn't fit into the phat lewt gameplay style of DOW2. That's disappointing.

    They could drop a limb, which your force commander can use to beat the dead Tyranid's father to death with.

    If they'd have gone with the Ultramarines instead of the Blood Ravens then they could have done this, seeing as the Ultramarine 2nd company (I think its them) stick bits of tyranid on their armours in honour of fallen 1st company who died on Macragge.

    Also considering the Blood Ravens I wonder if there will be five factions seeing as it was hinted heavily at the end of Dark Crusade that
    The Blood Ravens aren't the most legal of the space marine chapters originwise, I can see them becoming a new Chaos chapter

    That's what they think.

    If your chapter Master has spider legs sprouting out of his torso and you're killing Space Marines, you've got problems.

    Also, a lot of Chapters arn't exactly legal. Black Templars have well over 1,000 Marines, same with the Space Wolves. Blood Angels geneseed is mutated, Dark Angels harbor a dark secret, heck, that's a of the 1st founding chapters that are at odds with the Inquisition.

    I guess they will be non playable SP enemies then.

    I have little doubt you shall stride mightily up to Relics HQ and rip their doors asunder with the power of the nerd rage within. o_O

    Dont worry. When I was there last I left a detpack of c4 under one of the stairwells.

    My finger is on the button at all times from now on.

    So that's what that stuff was. We thought it was play dough and fed it to an intern on his last day.

    Space Wolves are pretty rawksome. What witht he whole hating the Inquisition and going out of their way to defend Imperial positions they're not ordered to and whatnot.

    I'd be super shocked if Tyranids weren't in this game from launch considering all the demand there's been for their inclusion in the first game (even in beta) and the fact that they said the only reason the 'nids weren't was because of technical limitations of their old engine.

    It's not.

    And the Space Wolves are probably in second place for non-douchery, but they still do ass holish things.

    Space Marines can change their skin color, and the race-mixing that happened in 38,000 years probably means race is meaningless in the 41st millennium.
