Relicnews: the definitive source for all things Relic

The folks over at PC.IGN have put up an article written up by a bunch of folks from Relic (Jay Wilson, Andy Lang, Joe Schober and Andrew Chambers being among some of them) previewing the Ork faction in Dawn of War. Here’s a snip:

Orks love to fight, and you gather them to you by constructing huge Waagh! banners. These banners attract Orks to your fight, and in typical Ork fashion, the more Waagh! banners you have the more Orks you can get, and the faster you can get them. In combat, Orks are all about the up close and personal. They are brutal melee fighters, with not too much strength in firepower until the mid- to late-game. And while they may look barbarous and “low-tech,” it would be wrong to assume they are push-overs. Orks can put up as strong a fight as any race in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

You can discuss the article, which also includes a bunch of new ork unit renders and concept art, in this thread. Thanks to cj for the heads up about the article (though he did miss most of the new concept art initially).
