Lt_Brookman Shinra1003 Lt_Brookman Lasguns don't explode, they are not plasma weapons! Only thing that can happen is that the battery shorts out due to the generated heat or that the barrel warps from extreme heat due to repeated firing. Baneblade lascannon barrels can only go a thousand shots before replacement. The weapon's casing can also become hot to the point of not being able to use it until the point of cooling down to acceptable temperatures. Lasguns in a higher charged setting expend more power at the cost of better hitting power. It eats power, but it can punch through power armour. I am NOT talking in game terms here. At least the kasrkin pattern armour have dealt with the power problem by hooking up several packs to the armour of the trooper. or you can look at it like this, the basic WA lasgun is low powered, but because the men CONCENTRATE their fire at one target at a time the shots pucker and break the armour. You are the fluff master, my good sir. That's either sarcasm or someone being honest. Most of the time I'm called a fluff nazi though due to my knack of knowing things... stare what's all this about "charging" up a lazgun? i have only heard of it being done in one of the 40k novels but can a charged up shot really crack power armor? i don't think the guns get THAT much stronger; the karskin guns are supposed to be juiced up and all they get is an AP 5. dosn't seem like a marine's worst nighmare to me.

Someone mentioned in the General Guild Forum that this thread was here, and I figured it could use some revitalizing love.

I've had the original Dawn of War for over a year now, but only recently bought a video card which allows me to run it. I'll be playing it by tomarrow night.

x.Shino.x http://dawnofwar.filefront.com/news/HUGE_Dawn_of_War_expansion_pack_info;26405x#881719 finally! the new expansion has finally gotten a press release! its gonna be called dark crusade and includes the Tau and Necron and possibly new units for the existing races xp FINALLY NECRON blaugh xd 3nodding whee heart xd Finally some real hard proof. Best of all, the it'll be compatible with Winter Assault, meaning that the Imperial Guard is still in the race. And the release is again around Fall, with this rate we could be seeing an expansion each year with one or two new armies. I'd doubt that new units would be thrown in for each army, seeing as with Winter Assault each force was given something extra to give them an edge.

Chaos: i hate chaos they get nothing: Chaos Termis, Different Daemon option i dunno maybe not The armies are pretty well-balanced as the already are, no extra units are really needed as the game is in it's current state simple and streamlined. Instead, here's my thought on Tau units that could be in the game: - Crisis Suit commander - Ethereal - Crisis suits - Stealth Suits - Fire Warriors - Kroot - Vespid Sting Wings - Either pathfinders with sniper rifles or sniper drone teams - Hammerhead tank - Skyray - Broadside And of course some custom hero / leader unit with non-standard equipment in the same lines as General Sturnn (A guard commander with lightning claws and storm bolter)

Well considerinf all other armies are in the game already the only 2 armies that could Cameo are Tyranids and Dark Eldar. Unless GW is planning to send out another army and will realese it in game first. OH, yeah considering that is is called Dark crusade it will probably Tyranids.
