I don't understand the full point of this mod. I'm not trying to make any insults I think this mod has a great team that really are good at modding but I don't understand why we need this mod. Why not just buy Dawn of War? I haven't read much about this so can you explain to me the special features of it? It is hard to get existed for this mod when I already have Dawn of War. I was just wondering if there was something that would help me have more hype about this.
Why Not Just Play Dawn of War?

Because this mod is not a Dawn of War TC. The fact that it's set in the same universe does not mean anything, there is much more to WH40k than just DoW.
ARGUMENT FROM CREATION, a.k.a. ARGUMENT FROM PERSONAL INCREDULITY (I)
(1) If evolution is false, then creationism is true, and therefore God exists.
(2) Evolution can't be true, since I lack the mental capacity to understand it; moreover, to accept its truth would cause me to be uncomfortable.
(3) Therefore, God exists.

Only War and DoW have totally different gameplay.
Plus, Only War has more content, not just the piss small amount in DoW.

Makes sense. But BTW if you get all the main game plus the 2 expansions it is 7 factions with over 15 units per faction. Plus there coming out with Soulstorm... So this Mod must have TONS of units. The mod sounds a lot more existing now.
Why So Serious?

It's like saying "why not buy Final Liberation than to play Dawn of War/Only War?"
Reason is because they all play differently. Dawn of War is a heavily micro intensive game, whereas Final Liberation is a leisure thinking game based on luck as well. Squad Command which is coming out is like a 40k X-Com game, simply put they all play differently. You can't say "why not buy just the one game" because some of us probably wouldn't want to play a game unsuited for our gaming play.

15 units each?
unimpresive when compared to how many each faction has in the table top version.
The Imperial Guard have 31, and that's not including Imperial Armour stuff.

Right, we're making this mod mostly because we all like Warhammer and we all like modding. We're not trying to compete with Dawn of War. We're just making a game because we enjoy doing it, we like the 40k universe, and we think that we can improve on DOW in certain areas or offer something a bit different.
Dawn of War is a fantastic game, and I can't wait for the expansion. Our mod won't play like DOW though, it's a bit different. I guess you'll just have to wait and see.

Will there be Leman Russ Executioners and Vanquishers?

Probably, we havent really decided on which russ variants we will have but we will probably have the Vanquisher and i believe we already have a model ready for the Executioner.
I'd also like to add to the conversation about why you shouldnt just play DOW instead of waiting for this..
For me as a warhammer 40k fan(atic) i try to experience every ounce of Warhammer 40k i can, wheter it be an fps mod or some rts mod or a retail game..
If we can help spread the awesomeness that is Warhammer 40k to someone new to the franchise we'll be happy, if we can offer the 40k experience to someone who cant afford Dawn of War or who cant be bothered with buying it, we'll be happy too..
The main differences in Only War is that we'll have loads of different units, for example.. where as the Dawn of War Leman Russ is really the only medium tank the Imperial Guard can get we'll have several different variants of it.. also Dow is really a small scale rts game where as OW is much larger scale, it has more of a global warfare feeling to it where dawn of war has that small odd skirmish feeling.. We will have unique resource systems for each faction that will be more fluff correct than that of dow...
I could go on all day really..
Another reason is that the Only War 2 team is kickass... (well i am
)

What if the original creators of the Counterstrike mod for Half Life would be happy with playing Delta Force or something?
Yay for the Vanquisher, btw
