Sort of makes one wonder what we'd actually attempt in real life if we didn't have an outlet like these games, huh?
I wonder that quite often, Mikey. And the 'experts' say video games spawn violent tendencies... :roll:

The C'Tan are these Star gods, that the Necrotyr discovered, and they gave their bodies and souls to the C'Tan, to become immortal.. what they didn't realize was they were now the mindless/souless puppets of the Star Gods..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necrons

this gives an incredible history of them..

I've noticed that Wiki is surprisingly detailed with ragards to Warhammer. Nearly all the factions are layed out in detail, exept for a few.

True but it still has so much depth that could be added. I wish I had the time!

The battles would be amazing! Dozens of ships on each side! Clashing like the titan of old! Millions dead for each passing moment! It would be great!

Then, coffee time.

As a first, I took the time to build 10 killercans and filled my army out with just nob squads with power weapons. I battled eldar and found that they die very nicely! :twisted:

Yeah, generic Eldar suck quite a lot in close combat.

Well even their tanks are crap. One killercan took out two falcons and a heavy turrent before going down. I held the poor boy at bay long enough to finish my 10 cans and I just walked over him. The eldar are just not good at fighting orks in DoW.
