Got this from here :

Featuring a deeper single player experience and even more intense Dawn of War action, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Winter Assault will also include a brand new, fifth race – The Imperial Guard........... the game is scheduled to release in fall 2005.

Goddamn Imperial Guard!!!!!!!!! :mad:

I would have liked the bugs, Carnifex anyone? However, Baneblades sound equally dribble worthy

I'm not surprised the first new race would be Imp.Guard given that they're already half-implemented in the core game already. Bugs were always going to be doubtful simply given the performance problems they'd create. Sweet to see I have no doubt, but quite a nightmare to render on screen with acceptable fps

But ... mmmmm .. baneblades. Nyom. Much tread-age shall be had!!

Lemming - Their actually not going to use what imp's are already in the game, as to say the least their awful, their totally remaking all of them, I remember in an interview about the expansion one of them mentioned this when asked.

Wonder how many soldiers with cigarette lighters you can have per population though.......

On another day I'd ignore a comment like that, but would you mind explaining why? I'm curious as to why the Imperial Guard "suck".

They suck ass, they need at least twice as many men as the enemy to have a chance. Blood angels, now there's an army.

10 imperial guard vs 10 death company.....hmmmmmm

whats the point difference on that?

Imperial Guard Ten Men 60 points
Space marine ten man squad 150 points

meaning that 25 guardsmen would be a more even match.

10 death company Vs 1 tooled up deamon prince.

Not really a fair contest either, now is it?

Or if you want to stick with just IG ... 10 death company Vs 1 leman russ.

The funny thing in that is not only would the deamon prince rip em to pieces, he would probably work out cheaper too. However you could just go with a melee dread, cheaper still

Imperial Guard. Gah!
I'm more interested in all the upgrades the other races will get (hopefully) and the new maps.
Whats the deal with the single player missions? Will they just be a bunch of non-linear random missions or will it be a brand new campaign?

My guess is a new campaign, but smaller than the first one, involving the IG.

personally i think the reason guard "suck" is because they are armed with torches and laser pointers. Then again i play DE i cant talk

You completely miss the point of the Guard, then. They're supposed to be weak compared to everything alse. They're just ordinary humans, completely outmatched in every way. But they still fight.
