The Dawn of War 2 TOTAL REWORK we've been waiting for? Yeah... Basically. 

God I just want a modern Dawn of War with proper base building, huge unit and faction variety, vast moddability, etc.

Thank you so much for checking out our mod! I'm glad you've been enjoying it! Also yes, I totally forgot to put the steam launch parameter in the readme. I've since fixed it, so any downloads of Eternal from here on out will have a readme that states what the launch parameter is and where to put it if you didn't catch it at the end of the installer!

I honestly love the idea of a platoon of conscripts being dropped into a combat zone via a shipping crate

Still a sad lack of a "persistent bodies" toggle. That was my favorite part of Dark Crusade, the absolute fields of dead after endless battling.

9:27 Very lore accurate. Never change IG, never change 10:52 ALSO lore accurate lone eldar vs guard firing line

Now if only they can make a mod putting every retribution campaign character into The Last Stand.

I love the laser light show you get from a large group of conscripts all firing their lasguns, makes the eldar want to rave

Tanks need infantry support. That's a general rule of combat. Even if that tank is a Baneblade.

Hitting it with a knife to build it... The guard must have found those engineers on Catachan.

Shack sending a his big tank without any support into the middle of the enemy base Also shack when it dies: Surprised pickachu face

Hitting it with a knife because the litany of deployment demands that the plastic wrap be removed with sharp implements.

That's cool to hear that you're collecting Imperial Guard for 40K! Are you looking forward to 10th edition coming out next month?

Love the main menu of this mod, the fact that it shows all the units and some of their upgrades within the Army Painter!

The Imperial Guard is playable but without the Basilisk? What kind of heresy is this?

Soo, Dawn of war 1 but ✨️fancier✨️

I would love to see more of this especially if you play it as Imperial guard

You require more minerals, not enough minerals, that must be placed on a vespene geyser! You must construct additional pylons. Honestly this mod looks amazing.

this is sooooo cool really hope they do the campain it would be sick to see you and someone else play this mod in coop campain mode

I’d be down for a reoccurrence series or Beyond all reason or this, both really fun games.

I need to get this mod. One thing I like in Dow 2 is vehicles becoming cover for infantry units.

The first minutes were hilarious. Basically a Company of Heroes:Warhammer. Engineers building with knives, Ultra compresed 3 constrip boxes (zip over zip?) and when he retire one of the squads the autarch followed them in jumpy dumpies

Shack you gotta check out the newest update. As the Imperial Guard you can now build a proper defensive line with a mix of sandbags, barbed wire, bunkers, and yes even walls!

This is great! Bizarrely enough, accessed my storage unit today to retrive my gaming laptop since work has cooled down : s (partly motivated by your recent vid on Battletech mod) , went through every box, among my things found the elegant small wooden I kept the last of my miniatures in from 2nd Edition w40k. I held my favourite; Chaplain in Terminator armour (One of the greatest miniatures ever made in my opinion); and wow did such glorious moments flood back... haha! I wish a company (seeeeeeethe currentl efforts and abandonments!) that really cared about the game would make a version of Epic. Like Total War 40K and planet / system campaign from DoW. Battlesector is looking better by the update for that TT mode but want a serious campaign on an Epic scale. Will test this mod out today. Thanks for doing reviews of games worth really playing. P.S. Shout out to UA mod devs, you revived DoW in such a magnificent way. Have had hours and hours of crazy enjoyment and will check out your mod again today too!

Man, when you lost the baneblade I felt that in my heart.

About bloody time, the sequel can have the commander rpg stuff, that was fine, but we should still have had the huge base building and army sizes for battles like the first game.

As someone who also picked up guard recently, the only thing I wish is that someone at my LGS would have warned me about 10E before I bought the 9E codex

Thanks for showing me this mod! Go Eldar!

I love the lasguns have proper as auto mode animation not the typical semi-auto look they have so too often in other games.

thanks for the headsup about this. ngl i kept clicking on the minimap trying to move to retreat your troops

Amazing what modders can do and entire companies can't do shit.

I hope you will feature this more when it fully releases.

Very cool mod. Gotta say I can't get over the infantry model animations though, lol. I keep thinking the video is fast forwarding because of how they move.

If they could make a campaign like Dark Crusade that would be amazing.

as with most things imperial guard shack, if your in meele your doing something wrong

Impressed. Been a long time. Will have to investigate, :)

I hope it becomes like old dawn of war mods where there is many groups like krieg, and all units

Hey Shack if you can can you show how to install, I have followed the Mod Author's instructions to the letter and it sends me a crash report. Pwease help. EDIT YOU HAVE TO USE DAWN OF WAR 2 RETRIBUTION (Idk if anyone said that but now you know)

I'd like to see a 40k adaptation of Ashes of the Singularity as supposed to Company of Heroes. As much as I adore CoH, the scale and vast number of units on screen at once on AoS would be perfect for a 40k game.

Any chance sound bug is "patched" with the overhaul?

I love it altho I think the units are a bit fast with their animations/attacks/moving etc.

Just a heads up, the Dutch army used a fragment from this to react to in a series "games vs reality" Asking a Dutch Army Engineer how realistic the building is (spoilers: obvious no) But I'm like, hey, i know that voice...

0:23 ok sold when I get home I'm installing this mod

Hi, I don't really understand this, do I have to have Dawn of War II- Retribution on my laptop first before the mod?

Big fan Cap. DOW2 Chaos Rising campaign when? ..and hopefully after that Extermination campaign.

I wouldnt mind a dow 1 style game play with all factions and massive armies coupled with a multiplayer campaign that kind like soul storm has you go from planet to plate fighting the other races.. but instead of it being just one sector.. expand it to the level of like spore.. so the whole galaxy.. they could start the story in the heresy ajd build on it from there.. adding more to the campaign and expanding the universe utilizing the warp to jump from galaxy to galaxy.. idk.. i feel like something more akin to that with the legit base building on a slew of differently sized maps.. basically scale it up a ton.. w8th that, they could legit have a game that playes tye way the fans want while putting aaallll the lore to work for them

Can't help but agree, this game is special. Full of soul and an obvious passion project refined to a masterpiece. 💞✌😊👍

I wanna know does the mod optimize the game? Because I got a great gaming laptop but it makes it cook even tho the damn game is old asf already, or atleast if anyone knows if there's other mods to keep it cool?

its so cool. It is more like a Company of Emperor :D

Does it work with the Death Korps of Krieg DLC?

Someone's ot paying enough attention to eldar grenades... did they add the rest of the aspect shrines?

11 years... I have been waiting. Feels like eternity.

thanks for that, so is it playable ? can i just download the mod through steam and add it to my dawn of war 2 copy? looks fantastic. dawn of war 2 with dawn of war 1 michanicks... thank you for the video. it plays only on skirmmish mod i understand, right?

Hey i download it this mod, but when i start it its become crash for no reason, any help? Sorry if my english is bad

"Base building is back in a big way" lol

Does anyone else hate that he puts buildings just all over with no general strategy

did they FIX the sound BUG that lead to crash

Love the videos keep the content train coming 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Maybe, just maybe, Cavill will inspire bigger devs to make more true 40k RTS's after his Amazon show. This is my hope, and I pray to the Emperor daily for a miracle.

Is this mod standalone? Or what base game do I need to make it run? I only have the original Dawn of War Soulstorm atm.

Health seems to be a bit of an issue? Constant hits against them..but not dying. Eldar seem like they’re invincible

Battle report videos in the future once you have your guard up? :)

Main menu theme is the same as The FOK mod for Soulstorm, I wonder is it the same team working on this, I'm gonna DL this when I'm off work.

The mod crash on star everytime and cant find a fix

Wow, looks great!

Can we have a video to explain how to install this I failed when I tried 😢

Why do the ig have da insignia?

"throws a grenade" We are getting destroyed by enemy spells

is there an ability to pause the game and issue orders? Something I always missed from the DoW2

Man this game still holds up prty well.

looks freaking good :D getting it in a bit ^^

Is sound bug fixed?

This looks cool. I was so pissed long ago when they modeled DoW2 on Company of Heroes instead of continuing the more classic RTS gameplay of the original.

Can you get these on steam?

Would love to see if they ever make a new DoW game, Make it with base building like the original, but make it at the scale of epic.

Do you need retribution dlc to play this mod?

And will this be going on steam when it’s done?

4:15 its sooo good xD

That looks good.

Yep this is exactly what I hoped the sequel would be and nothing like the sequel I got

been waiting for a sequel to dawn of war 1 so so long

I remember being upset when I first played WH 40K Dawn of War 2 back in the day, as I had loved the first game and it's DLC's. Knowing they have this MOD may get me to install and play it again.

can this be played with friends???

Looks awesome!

Why does the guard have the Dark Angels insignia in the thumbnail?

I have been wating ages for you to play dawn of war again plz plz plz do a new series

This is definitely something I'll be giving a shot, I love seeing this absolute gem of a game still being worked on by some incredibly devoted fans. Regardless of what anyone thinks, thank you to the modders for making this happen, comparing this to Elite which has been worked on for literal years is unfair and I hope to see this grow!

Does this mod work with campaign?

This mod works on campaing? or is just for skirmish?

This has my attention now.

just want another game like dark crusade

Is there a campaign?

You mean to tell me, that yet again modders have done what a 'tipple A' company could not? _I'm so surprised!_ 😐

about bloody time

Will you be able to play local offline skirmish with Bots without internet connection with this mod? Sucks that Retribution's Campaign is playable offline, but not the Last Stand and Skirmish

Where did you get this mod from?

>Picks Armored Company >Goes infantry heavy "Man, why am I losing?" XD

is Skirmish offline without internet works? Please answer,thank you guys

Hurray

Wow. This mod actually makes Dawn of War 2 feel like a true direct sequel to the first game
