Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Story (Cutscenes) 

Gabriel Angelos: ''Who was that, alien? What did he steal?'' Farseer Macha: ''A key. The last step... along a bloody path...'' Gabriel Angelos: ''A key to what?'' Farseer Macha: ''The undoing of us all.'' Gabriel Angelos: ''Stop speaking in riddles!'' Farseer Macha: ''He stole a key. A key to the shadows of this world, to the evil horror that lies within.'' Gabriel Angelos: ''TELL ME WHAT THIS KEY DOES!''

Gabriel: - Orders the anihilation of his own planet, so that the chaos doesn't spread among other planets; - Betrayed by an old friend and forsed to kill him; - Destroys the maledictum, which only unleashes the demon within it in stead of destroying it; - >The chapter leader becomes corupted by the same demon and betrays the sector, also transforming into a demon prince; - Fights the demon prince on his home planet and loses. FeelsBadMan :(

18:51 all the years playing this game i never noticed the Eldar scout in background

An entire host of characters were built up and knocked down, but above all else, this was Sindri's game. A mastermind, relying on the arrogance of his opponents to bring about his ascension. One of the best villains in gaming, IMHO.

I miss old Dawn of war so much

Whoever did Isadors voice acting is a genius

Dawn of War...this is what happens when a game dev hires one of those writer people....certain other devs should take notice

Old school, when games where made with passion.

omg it is shot as a frickin fan film, but the absolutel georgeus voice acting and the captivating story holds it up so well that I still remember it fully a decade after I played it

35:26 Lord Bale: "...and dispose of this.. idiot." Idiot: "Why? Erh.. how have I failed?" Sindri Myr: "You were stupid enough to personally deliver ill news to Lord Bale. And we cannot abide stupidity."

blood ravens caring about civilians while the inquisition is destroying planets at the mere thought of one chaos daemon

great voice acting! such conviction!

Man. The first game's cutscenes and storyline were so much more interesting than those of the latter games.

that moment when 2 characters with the same voice actor have a conversation

The voice acting on this game... amazing, all of them. Very characteristic voices and mannerisms, transpiring a well defined personality for each one of the characters. Take Sindri with the snarky tones and Thot's "Holier than thou" attitude for example. The cutscenes, generated from in-game gameplay carefully tailored to tell us a story, so much love must they had put in this. A time when developers would put their heart and soul on their games and extract so much more from what the limited technology could offer at the time. Masterpieces that modern games, most of times, cannot replicate.

Gabrielle Angelos is pure fucking steel. Amazing VO through out the entire game.

12:00 Oh. his words are like velvet gifts for my eardrums.

So much better then Dawn of War III.

I remember one time when I did a playthrough of this game I made sure to give excess resources to the Eldar in "All Out War" so they could build up their army. They went so far as to summon Khaine and beat back the Chaos forces on their side of the map. It was hilarious.

Man, i would sacrifice an extra 1000 souls to the emperor if it meant we could get a remaster of this game with cinematic cutscenes.

26:00 i like how both eldar and space marines can't see like., 20 meters in front of them XD

I remember buying a new pc back in the day just to play this :')

Imperial guards always treated like shit

Bale, Sindri, and Sergeant Mattias, all the same voice actor. That guy is amazing.

Such good dialog in this game.. this is awesome.

I literally lissen to the voice acting to help me sleep

DoW 1 and 2 shows an interesting plot through character development, well-written dialogue, quality voice acting, and mission-focused plot development and setup. DoW3 narrates a bland, cliched plot with a single, mediocre, monotone voice.

oh god i absolutely adored the mission where you had those guardsmen and the Leman Russ Battletanks. Gotta love my squishy little guardsmen

"to each of us falls a task is that we stand the line and die fighting its what we guardsmen do best die standing" --general sturnn

10:40 Big Boss Orkamungus

I like how Dinobot and Silverbolt made it into this. Good job, Scott McNeil.

35:20 😂😂😂 that heretic

I recently got into 40k because of all the heresy memes and the fucking metal ass art... But I still can't get over how cute the space marines are when they woddle around.

Script, voice acting, game feeling. Dawn of War was such a fantastic game. Dawn of War III is a shame and a mockery of the franchise

is it just me or would things have gone better if the eldar just shared what they knew instead of leaving information out. Like the last moment she says to not destroy the stone, but instead of telling them why(that it keeps the demon sealed I believe), she is vague and orders her troops to open fire.

The dialogue is amazing, as well as the voice acting

I looked up Gabriels home world. It was destroyed for simply promoting peace. They wanted to have their own government and laws which included Psykers to practice using their gifts without fear of persecution, another was allowing free trade with Xenos races. Most likely Eldar or Tau

Thank you for this video.

thanks for the video

Absolutely amazing!

Gotta love Sindri’s voice and acting, the actor sounded like he was having the time of his life voicing him.

I miss the Demon Prince.. The music, theme was so amazing in DOW1

It is written in the codex astartes that in this situation we shall perform steel rain

13:27 IT"S DINOBOT!

That sorcerer can easily control anyone just by talking! I guarantee it

32:10 sums up the whole dow games in which eldars are present

Still the best Dawn of War. If it was remastered I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Hello, I'm just letting you know that I have created an archive of this video on the Internet Archive to serve as a secondary online backup. This should hopefully ensure that this video is saved even if the RU-vid version is taken down or lost in the future. If you do not want this video to remain archived then please let me know. Video Archive: archive.org/details/Warhammer40000DawnOfWarStoryCutscenes Alternatively, you can simply search "Protoss Scout" on archive.org, and it should show up. Regards, lemonny3663.

Cannot get over how those two Chaos Marines are basically voiced by Dinobot and Silverbolt from Beast Wars (Yes I know they're the same guy don't bother pointing that out)

they need to remaster/remake this game up until soulstorm! keep the core mechanics the same and add the last stand

At 3:29 for a moment I thought the Librarian will trip over. Now that is something I would pay to see. Oh 2004 animations...

The voice acting is so great throughout.

We spent all our money on top-notch voice actors and have $7 left for everything else.

One of the best games I ever played. Best intro to a game ever. There is no such thing as a perfect game. But playing this one solo was about as close as you can get. Dawn of War. Excellent on so many levels, ( pun intended ).

One of the most epic starting mission cutscenes of all time

Thanks to BigDickCheney, that fight between Isador and Gabriel just doesn't have the same emotional punch without Shiro from Wolf's Rain playing in the background...

I was hyped for DoW 2, but after I saw gameplay, I went back to DoW(1)

oh wow....nice to see an actually GOOD inquisitor for once.

Classic game. And the voice acting was superb!

much better story writing than whatever warhammer+ is putting out...

nice I love it

One of the greatest movies that never existed!

Orks are badasses

10:38 amongus

Perfection

The strongest voice cast I have ever heard in an rts. *Brothers, let us DESTROY this alien filth!*

I love this video

It's actually adorable seeing Gabriel running

@51:24 I love how no one is paying any attention to the dude in the background being sacrificed. Like: Aiight, whatevs. *gets sacrificed to summon a demon*

53:32 I like how the plasma pistol became a bolter lol

The ending scene is why people hate Eldar so damn much. You could have just told him that breaking the damn pot would have released the demon anyways, but no, don't tell him how not to unleash this great evil. Fucking Eldar.

The orks have the funniest death sounds. ROFL 🤣

The storyline script is just AMAZING. WOW. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT? IN A VIDEO GAME?!?

22:40 Marine #1: Is this... Chaos Rhino? Marine #2: Where? Marine #1: Over there. Near ladder. Marine #2: Just ignore that. Marine #1: But why? Marine #2: Hydra dominatus Marine #1: Hydra dominatus

It's a damn shame they removed most of the amazing music from this game. They should have carried it onto Dark Crusade and Soulstorm.

While the cutscenes aren't that good animation wise, the voice acting carries them all on their own with how good it is (the animation isn't bad, it's just that it's kind of distracting how the movements of the characters in the cutscenes don't quite line up with what's said). I doubt it will happen, but I want there to be a remaster of Dawn of War with Dawn of War 2's style of presentation, + have the dialogue of the space marines in DOW be replaced by the dialogue in DOW2. I like the presentation of both, but I think I prefer DOW2s space marines better.

SINDRIIIIIIIIIII

Sindri, the soft spoken ChaosMRtist.

This video is ancient, and it is unlikely that this comment will ever be seen. I have not played Dawn of War, or Winter Assault, or Dark Crusade. But I have played a ton of Soulstorm. All these people saying it was bad? They are liars. The campaign is amazingly fun, and I have completed it a bunch of times with different factions. No, it is not linear. But it doesn't have to be. Just putting in my two bits.

Blood ravens: hippity hoppity where the fuck is my property!

34:15 Chaos space marine in the distance laughing at that cultist's ridiculous run

06/24/2017 still best DoW

10:38 that ork is sus 😔

Never did find out where that deamon went.

My literal childhood, I was like 12 when I discovered this game through my brother which was 20 years old at the time, him and his friends played with me eventhough I’m just a child 😂 we played on a 8 players skirmish map, and 4 of us goes against the other 4 AIs, I think my brother picked Necron, while both his friends picked Chaos and I picked Tau. I can only remember the enemy AIs being Orks and Imperial Guards, that’s it. They might have not think too much about it back then, probably just one out of hundreds of another gaming sessions between themselves, but it was a really special moment for me, because I rarely interact with my brother because of our age gap and I really looked up to him back then, admiring him and just wishing to be as outgoing and extroverted as he was. It’s a really sweet memory, sometimes I tear up whenever I hear the Chaos Space Marine or Guardsmen song theme on RU-vid, because of the nostalgia memories rushing down my entire body 😂😭 I miss those times. Now that I’m 23, Im basically 3 years older than my brother was at that time, I always like to imagine seeing an obsessive clingy 10 years old kid “bothering” me around asking me to do this and that and this, that was probably what my brother felt like back then. Sometime I would just embarrassingly open up to him of these special moments, and he wouldn’t even bother listening sometime just straight up ignoring me or changing the subject, to him it was probably cringe to hear, or it probably doesn’t mean anything to him, it was probably just some normal days in his life that he forgot. I guess that’s just how older brother is? Since adult mind doesn’t work the same way as a child’s mind, so their experiences are different than what a child would, or is it just how an older brother is? for some reason they always gives off these “my younger brother is so weird and cringe, just get away from me for a moment” kinds of vibe 😂

we should have a drinking game of the amount of problems that could have been avoided if the Eldar just engaged in a little bit of straight talk

Now that I watch these after the fact. I know that it's probably done as service for those people whose only contact with the universe is this game, but some of exposition dialogue feels weird. Like I know that Galaxy is big, but it feels strange to have Chaos Lord to be exposed about orks that way. lol

53:30 he has a combi plasma bolt pistol?

Gabriel kills Isadow with the main theme of Dow Playing in background, epic!

Isador: "You cannot abandon me now!!!" Sindri: "Yea I can, after all you were so keen on telling me over and over again your desire to slay me right in front of my face, on my home planet we have a saying for that. Tough Shit"

One of the best voice acted games ever.

28:29 I don’t know what’s more terrifying the fact the inquisition is actually wanting to save the lives of the guardsmen or that he took command of the planet to help the people

The miniature look is cool.

The Emperor protects! I'm playing the Unification mod for DoW: Soulstorm right now while watching this. :)

HIPPITY-HOPPITY, WHERE THE HELL IS MY SOON TO BE PROPERTY!?!?

#4 is my favorite. Sindri's introduction.

cooooooooooool game.........

Don't know how it never clicked with me until now, that isador's voice actor is also Makaan from Homeworld 2...

I just realized, Gabriel dismissed Isador's interest in heretical knowledge for the greater good from Chaos, but then later on Gabriel himself sought heretical knowledge for the greater good from the Eldar despite Isador warning him of the exact same thing Gabriel told him when Isador was the one seeking knowledge, that they have nothing to learn from Chaos/Aliens, and should just kill them. Interesting how Gabriel shows hypocrisy here, and it's one of many factors that depicts every Space Marine at his core is nothing but a man who is fully susceptible to fault.

How can relic release that 3rd game after this masterpiece....
