Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War (THQ Humble Bundle top tip)

[Kreian Legion]

Alright so to everyone that took part in today's shenanigans in DoW skirms, I found something out.

If you got the humble bundle, you DO have the Winter Assault expansion.
No, it won't run from steam straight away, so here's what you need to do.

Click "My Computer" and head to (your steam directory, usually C:\program files\steam or D:\steam) > steamapps > common > Dawn of War Gold

Notice how it's called "Gold" in the directory but called the GOTY edition in the humble bundle? Weird right?
Well, thankfully this is a good thing.

YEAAH BABY YEAAAH.

Now just click in there and find a file called W40KWA.exe, that's the one you'll be adding to steam as a non-steam game. Copy the directory, open up steam, plop into your library and click "add a game > add a non steam game". Hit browse, paste the directory, click on W40KWA.exe and HEY PRESTO! YOU NOW HAVE WINTER ASSAULT INSTALLED!

Pretty sure everyone that didn't get it through steam said they have the expansions, which means we can all play WA aswell now too

Legion, out. o7

Dawn of War Scrims?

Kreian probably sucks at WH:40k

Probably plays Imperial Guard or someshit.
Or ''Cliché Marines''


Tzeentch ain't got no time for 'dat.
Also, don't tell me that you actually sat down with the boys and played Warhammer 40k without Kaiser and me...
Or I shall let loose the power of Alex Jones, don't temp me.

[Kreian Legion]

You guys weren't around!
If you both have DoW we can organise a 3v3v2AI Network game or some shit

Space Wolves are almost as bad as Genericmarines

I mean ''Ultramarines''

[Graf Cyril Valdar]

Why aren't we playing DOW II?

[Nicholas McLosky]

Dawn Of War 2 isn't as good, but I have every single Dawn Of War laying some where around my house its a matter of getting the CD codes.

[Chip Lawrie]

As a devoted Imperial Guard player I can tell you that the new codex actually lets us take down Chaos Space marines.


Also Tzeentch will have time for that when my main man Creed deep-strikes a Baneblade up his arse

[Kreian Legion]

I don't have dawn of war 2 haha, but most of us have DoW

[Cappadocius]

Ahhh yes, ''Baneblades''

Luckly, on the PC version of Warhammer 40k you have a factor that isn't present on table-top: AI pathfinding.

[Chip Lawrie]

I don't PC anything.

I have the disposable wealth for the actual army.


Seriously the new codex makes tanks and flyers OP (which is sorta IGs thing yo)

[Kreian Legion]

I have disposable wealth

Gib money pls.

[Cappadocius]

I don't PC anything.

I'm going to be a dick (what a surprise!) and interpret that as ''I'm a console fanboy, fuck PC!''

Assumptions are fun
