Did someone say something about hilarious comics?
If you have any more awesome comics, post them and I'll put them in here.
Hopefully this OP will get better as I learn how to make an awesome OP, tips are welcome.

I mean uhhh, your op could use some sprucing up maybe with some picaturs and vidya
Maybe the reease date, and the fact that it's an open beta right now
Pertnint links and whatnot
also make it clear that the beta is what we're playing, not the actual game
just because I fucking know people will be all "WHAT THE GAME IS OUT?!?!?!?"
Fixed for accuracy and rhyme scheme.
Should probably put this in the OP.

so many of them are hilarious
That thread actually almost makes you believe that Warhammer Online is a good game.
I love these WH40K comics too....
Typically the one at the top of the listing, it has subchannels for 2 teams.
He used two of those reinforcing vehicles. I do not like those.
what was your problem?
windowed mode, turning of vsync, etc. didn't seem to fix things for me. I guess I'm waiting for a beta patch for improved performance, though I'll still try to play like this.
I'm not sure a beta patch is even coming though. i'm pretty sure I read no major patches to beta

I really hate you for posting that. Now I'll never see the Force Commander the same way again.

What the fuck man. THE FUCK.
EDIT: TheBog, for some reasom, that sketch of the Orc flipping the bird made me laugh.
Can we talk about DoW2 now?
Learning to play is overrated. You can just be like me and leach off your other two teammates.
Really though just playing games will get you up to speed the fastest. I just started a few days ago and already have a few great wins under my belt.
You can also check out videos on youtube or replays on www.gamereplays.com to start off.

I've used them once. They were kind of okay. I find it less of a hassle to just run my space elves around because they're pretty fast anyway.
...and for those of you who are worried, yes, this will likely be my only OP, at least untill I know better that to try and put one together in under 10 min...
Here is probably my best replay. It pretty bad. But if anyone wants to watch some SM action it should at least be entertaining.
Any hints would be super appreciated.
EDIT:: Yes there are some buildings you can put units in.
I hate steam so goddamn much. It fucked up my XP system about a year ago upon just basic installation. What ended up happening was when I'd boot the system up, Steam would progressively eat all 4gigs of my ram for no fucking reason at all within 20minutes of the computer being on... The only way to prevent this was to completly shut it down but if I wanted to play a goddamn steam game, I'd be able to play it for about 15-20min before my ram filled up and the game either got slow as fuck or flatout crashed.
There are a few.
The one time I saw a player use them really well he dropped one off to the side on the desert map then jumped through to kill my power generators behind the lines. Great idea. Bad luck for him I happened to have my FC and dreadnought at those generators at that moment heading back to the front. *crunch, crunch, crunch*
Players don't use them enough. They are afraid of the cost keeping them from getting something better like the force storm. They shouldn't, those gates can win games.

Or do you mean stupid motar huts that DoA took without telling me about so I couldn't do anything and fuck you, DoA? Nothing like that, at least yet.
Eldar vs. SM on greenpoop. More of why the razorback is god and why you should not let banshees touch it.
A+ post. Would read this post again. :^::^:
