Druidika has reported that the recently released issue of Gamestar Magazine has some Dawn of War Tidbits in it. Including a lot of info on the SP campaign. Heck, I’ll just let him do the talking.
Seems like the may issue of Gamestar (major games magazine in Germany) has some new info about Winter Assault, as well as some screenies. I don’t have access to a scanner at the moment, so I’ll see what I can do about that later.
[UPDATE] Made some photos of the screenies with my digital cam, but one can’t recognize anything at all. I’m also not sure about the legal problems that might exist. Here are the facts:
Please note that this is from an early version and might change until the retail hits.
- Units in squads look varied now, have slightly different height, faces and so on
- There’s a new feature called ‘Kill-Cam’ which shows a close-up of those spectacular finishing moves
- Commissar is included, and boosts the morale by executing soldiers. He’ll be the secondary hero.
- Sanctioned Psycher is in
- Techpriest Engineer is in. He repairs vehicles, and one of the screenies shows him carrying an axe for close combat
- The Sentinel is in, the IG’s walker unit
- The Baneblade will have awesome firepower, but a rather weak armor
- The Chimera troop transporter allows units to fire from the inside
- The main hero will be the Imperial Captain, which is just a bit weaker than the Force Commander. Games Workshop will bring the unit to the tabletop soon.
- The 4 older races will get new units, but the article doesn’t mention which
- There will be a ‘good’ campaign which will let you play the Space Marines, Eldar and the Imperial Guard, and an ‘evil’ campaign which will allow you to play with the Chaos Space Marines and Orks. Each of them will consist of about half a dozen missions.
So head on over to to discuss. Even if they don’t get all of those features added, I’m still excited about the enhancements. Kill cam, that should be fun :-)
