“The game will be developed internally, not outsourced.”
Did you read this part of the press release? “Executive produced and co-developed by Relic Entertainment in association with Iron Lore Entertainment”

Additionally, the screenshots on Bloggo have a Relic logo and an Iron Lore logo, so where did you get the “not outsourced” statement from?

I think not outsourced as in not outsourced outside of THQ.
Iron Lore’s a THQ studio as well.

So the Dark Eldar are coming into it? Are they much different to the usual Eldar or is this just an easy way out? Hope the Tyrannids are in it this would bring in a new dimension.

Aircraft better be scaled properly to the ground units and tanks

i realy hope tyranids wil be the second new race. They rock!

I hope, the graphics will be as good as relic’s. Physics environment would be great :-)

Dark eldar are very different unit type wise. They use poisoned munitions and weapons. Cabal lords are a bitch to kill trust me on that one. They have weapons like disintigrators and nice stuff like that.
Tyranids would be nice too see because the only real cqc groups are orcs and chaos right now and thats just not right b/c they getting a bit overplayed while ranged races get all the fun aka SpaceMarines eldar tau and guard cough cough basilisks mad cheap cough

Cool. New air units. Now that will make thing smor einteresting. Maybe their will be an Elysian mod.
Posted by Mad Max at October 20th, 2007 at 8:11 am
Dude this is going to great! dark eldar are ok but i really hope the second race is demon hunters!also they should put titans and grey knight terminators on it. that would make the game very hard but it would make it mega fun!
Posted by Ellis at October 24th, 2007 at 2:33 pm
this may sound strange but i think they should jst scrap this idea for the moment and make a horus heresy 1 that would be sooo much better
Posted by Dan :D at November 2nd, 2007 at 10:26 am
