I see the Eldar ending as a win for the Imperium too. The Eldar indirectly returned the system back in Imperial hands. Sure Kaurava 3 was off limits because of necrons but having the others is decent compensation
@@diepssuarez2676 i heard that he died on Tartarus, i mean, he finally joined to the forces of Chaos and died. In the ending of first DOW there is no Colonel Brom shown, in the last missions there is no help from Imperial Guard, so i stay in opinion that Carrus Brom and all PDF guardsmen died on Tartarus.
In the Imperial Guard ending they leave the planet alone because the necrons were on it, so why don't they Eldar just show up and say, "Hey you don't wanna colonize this, its a tomb world." The Imperial Guard wouldn't want to deal with that spooky skeleton shit and would leave it alone!
TheAtomicGoliath Eldar don't explain anything. Thanks to this stupid arrogant high-horse manner they have lost the buried craftworld on Typhon Primaris.
Antoine Winterborn Studying Necrons is impossible. Mechanicus has already studied their weaponry and claimed that they break the laws of physics. No working specimen of Necrons can be recovered because after death - or maybe rather temporary malfunction - they all are teleported back to the planet's interior to be repaired.

Hey, it's Col. Brom from the original Dawn of War! Looks like he got a promotion or two from Tartarus. He sure as hell deserved it. After Sturnn, he's definitely the best IG commander in the series. Neither Stubbs nor Alexander had to go through what Brom had to go through.
Agreed. He actually had guts unlike his troops and followed every order given to him. After what he went through, he damn well deserved a promotion and showed that he was Guard material.
This is one of the best endings for the great system war to end. The Eldar mostly stay on the 3 planet keeping the Necrons in check and the Imperial Guard stomps all other enemies. Funny, how the Eldar even lets the IG build up the systems again but making sure they leave the 3 planet alone.
I love Eldar. Their tactics is awesome.I'm making portals to everywhere when enemy is starting to attack my base,I relocate eveything.After that I'm using portals attack to their base. But what I hate what happens after battlefield. They vanish. They dont hold what they earned. Kill the Necrons and Chaos then begone.
What would be the point of holding a planet for the Eldar? Resources or living space is not something they worry about, and trying to contain the imperium of man would be pointless.
The whole presence of the Eldar in Kaurava is pointless beyond stopping the necrons and maybe chaos anyway. What stakes do they have in the tau, the orks and the Imperium killing each other?
WOOHOO! I love how they used Colonel Brom from the first DoW to be the Governor. Yep. No matter who wins this system, the Imperium will ALWAYS return. There can be no doubt of their eventual victory.
Her'es how it goes with Eldar: "Hmm, it will take me approximately 1000 years to figure out how to beat this monstrosity" Here's how it goes for Space Marines: "Alright men listen up! we're gonna drop T4h Empr4's B0mb and finish teh fight!" Eldar:"IMPOSSIBLE! IT WOULD BE ME A THOUSAND YOURS TO FINISH THIS AND YOU ALONE COMPLETE IT IN 5 SECONDS! FEEL OUR WRATH!"
The Eldar merely wanted to ensure that none of the other powers would win and use the system as a means to threaten the Eldar craftworlds. Based on what the other powers do if they win, this objective on the part of the Eldar seems reasonable.
I just just love how some IG dudes escape from a disaster then make a Guerrilla war just like the Kasrkins in DOW:DC when you defeat IG with the Tau =]
I always thought this was the most 'realistic' ending, but Relic confirmed (Can't find the source, sorry) that the Imperial Guard under General Stubbs were victorious.
Not even close, given the bizarre and arcane magics those poncy freaks have access to, like wraithbone, distort technology, and the infinity circuits installed in their craftworlds. We Tau can stand up to them and their depraved kabalite kin because we know how to mass-produce our technology and mobilize far more force than any craftworld (also, we don't play with the Warp and spawn heretical gods out of our own sheer carelessness, but that's beside the point.)
Eldar are the oldest existing species in the galaxy, unless you count the Necrons as a species. So it makes sense that Eldar would be more technologically advanced.
@1:47 Hey, it's Colonel Brom! I wonder what he's doing under command of the 242nd Kauruvan Regiment, last ime I checked back in DoW1, he was Colonel of the 37th Tartarus Regiment!
If you have been reading the codices and the novels, the Eldar are indeed the most powerful race in the Warhammer universe! That's way before Man even stood upright! They had sophisticated technologies to do their everyday labor for them and even crafted massive self-sustaining wraithships the size of planets called Craftworlds!
I doubt the Eldar are THAT driven to kill the Dark Eldar. They'd probably fight when the situation came to it but they wouldnt actively be out to destroy them. They are still kin after all, dark or otherwise.
Firstly, the Eldar are just on a colision course to destruction while the imperium is actually trying (and often failing horribly) to save the planets that support thier kind.
"I didn't really have a "governor-general" model and the closest thing that looked like him would be Stubbs, but that wouldn't make sense to use him. Instead, I thought it'd be a neat fan service to throw in the model that hasn't been seen since the original Dawn of War. Either he's a twin, or Brom got promoted, or it simply is a guy who strikingly resembles Brom but isn't actually him. Or whatever else the fanfiction crew can imagine.": ILE_Silvey who made this ending on the Relic Forums
Dark Eldar are the most undervalued race in W40K and yes they're getting a codex update this year. Hopefully it'll renew interest in them amongst tabletop players. A truly interesting race.
DoW 1 started with Space Marines, Orks, Eldar, and Chaos. DoW 2 started with Space Marines, Orks, Eldar, and Tyranids. So, they both have the same number of races. I don't know whether DoW2 will get as many expansions, but I think we can count on Chaos and Imperial Guard at least, and hope for Tau and Necrons someday.
The 3rd Planet is where the Kaurava Necrons sleep beneath the sands. The eldar are rather testy about people waking up the Necrons, that was part of the impetus behind the entire previous expansion, Dark Crusade... the reawakening of the Necrons on Kronus.
@Seekerz3996 The Eldar are not out to conquer the galaxy, they're out to keep their craftworlds from falling, and from Necrons being released. They don't care about owning the system - keeping the Necrons underground is enough for them. They probably picked the IG because they originally ruled the system, or because the Farseer saw it would work out best if they were in charge as opposed to, say, the Orks, who would go wherever destruction was, or the DE, who could follow them into the webway.
Question, the first. What is that amazing music in the background of this video? Question, the second. Mayhap someone tell me why the Eldar are so far up their own asses that their insides resemble life-sized plastic casts?
+Christian Plante well thats because the Eldar use some sick twisted warp powers to gain farsight into the future. they then see what crazed shit will happen, and try to stop it. unfortunatly they forgot to tell everyone else about these kind of events, and are now pissed of at everyone for not understanding the technology they refuse to share.
Their senses, metabolic rates, reaction speeds and psychic power are much greater than humans. From their perspective, humans are slow, crude, stupid and dull, little more than primitive barbarians. if people were veichles, an Eldar's body and mind are a finely tuned, top of the line fighter jet, while a human is closer to a clunky world war one biplane. In all honestly they have every right to feel superior, because they pretty much are, apart from the area of physical strength.
As much as i know only Abaddons Planetkiller would be able to blow up planets (and the guy works for Chaos) and considering not even an exterminatus can purge all the Necrons (this including the ones still underground unawaken), you go try that! Also you help them by destroying the planet and lifeforms for them! Perfect for making it a tomb world.
"The So-called imperium cannot catch us, for we are your shadows, turn your back on us, and we will strip the meat from your bones, and parade it threw halls of torture, for your souls, while pathetic, are very good indeed." ~Mandrake Czar-huz Kabal of the Splintered Sword
Well it's not like that the Eldar are all to blame for the existence of Chaos. At least they remained true to their race till the very end. In their last moments, not one of them gave up on life. They were brave, shining stars till the bitter end.
Well, the thing is half the time the Farseers don't quite know what they mean. Regardless, if there is some heavy-duty Necron or Chaos stuff happening, they are likely to... be interested.
thats true only in the case of guardians, and they happen to be quite a good support unit. if you go for early howling banshees, they kick slugga ass. in the early game theyr great, and with the call for war upgrade they also have potential. with the later eldar units such as darkreepers warp spiders, you dont have any problems with durability whatsoever. and the avatar is probly the best unit in the game, making eldar production go extremely fast, and making their units immume to morale.
@TheKristof91 Almost everything the Eldar do are known only to them as they must have a secondary aim to what they do, like they probably don't want the other factions becoming a threat to them. Plus they must have decided that "if you want something done right you gotta do it yourself".
Bloodraven654: I don't know. It seems in the 40K storyline the Eldar would be willing to do anything to preserve their race. The Tau also seem to be very good diplomats. If they did the Imperium would likely be crushed.
that is why they have intense loyalties to the god-emperor. And if that fails their are thousands of imperial forces ready to crush any rebelion lead by the week eldar. Face it they are just as good as imperial guardsman.
Who knows... maybe they didn't want to leave an empty planet for anyone to settle, or maybe they foresaw that a new IG garrison would handle matters satisfactorily for them. The Eldar, by and large, do not hold territory like the Imperium does.
@gta1771 They somewhat started from scratch with DoW2, I think they will either slowly add more races and units, or just more races (there are only so much a single base building can build giving the limit of the hotkey squares that are available.
They don't "use" pylons. The pylons where there when the humans first settled on Cadia. They don't know that the pylons are necron in origin, but they understand that the pylons on Cadia calms the warp storm around Cadia and make it the only safe path in or out of the Eye of Terror.
I know that Brom was killed by Captian Angelos, but I still liked how Brom was portrayed in both book and game, and was glad to see that he had at least a small returing part. Even if all it means is that THQ was lazy and decided to NOT use a special model, or even just use one of the old generals, like Alexander or Sturnn. Oh I just can't wait for DOW II!
I can totally understand that the Eldar decided that the Imperial Guard remain on Kaurava. I mean, they are fair, they will build again, and make sure that the citizen of Kaurava stay alive, and as happy as possible in Warhammer universe. And at least, they are not fanatic zealots like the Spaces Marines or the SoB.
so wait dawn of war soul storm is a prequel to dawn of war? Because of the "new commander of imperial guard" was seen and he didn't know what elder were.
Mormon actually. But I bring up a valid point about the Eldar. The hedonism and depravity not only led to Dark Eldar existence, but created Slaanesh. When Slaanesh came to being, the psychic force involved was so great that it killed most Eldar living in the center of their empire. That's also how the Eye of Terror was created; from Slaanesh's birth. Anyways, that's how I think Eldar reproduction might've had a hand in their downfall.
Duffeknol: I was replying to a comment regerding wether in 40K the Eldar and Tau could ally. If they united I doubt the Imperium would hold. It wouldn't just be them, the Imperium has many enemies, but a united Tau and Eldar would likely be the straw that broke the donkey's back.
@warriorfar9 yup,they have a habit of putting old guys in endings.eliphas has a maledictum in his hands in dc chaos ending,in space marine dc ending the inquistor that came looks like toth including hammer.
actually the reason eldar hit and run is because their race was made almost extinct by the forces of chaos, therefore making their troops less expendable. The Space Marines are able to simply throw troops away more readily since they have more to spare.
...went nuts and started doing all possible things because they were able to do so, held some sadistic joy of doing such things, or were trying to relieve themselves that the heights of their civilization had ultimately allowed, or a combination of the three. Simply put they let passion over take them, as is the tale of Dark Elves which, lets be honest folks, was some form of inspiration for the Eldar, not sex with multiple partners.
Check out my response to RDS. But no, having sex won't lead to moral breakdown. But having sex with multiple partners could create a risk in becoming detached, jaded, and desensitized. The more partners, the higher likelihood. In the Eldar's case, I was trying to make a link between their reproduction and their downfall. They're already detached enough, but not forming attachments (whether through sex or friendship) made them seek passionate highs which caused their fall. At least in my opinion.
The Eldar could have over-run the four planets of the System, but what is the point: To hold massive military factories and strong-arm their way around the galaxy? True, they can, but like the narrator says, "They are only concerned with the distant past and future. Their only main objective will always be the Necrons, the ancient evil Chaos, and their kin known to be the Dark Eldar.
Plus the Imperium and other foes would keep attack Eldar-controlled Kaurava PLUS there's far too few Eldar left to make holding an entire star system for the long haul possible especially one that the Imperium considers to be theirs.
this ending is realy the best of all. but just 1 question: are my eyes playing tricks on me or is new general of imperium colonel from original dawn of war? he looks the same
Only the exodites have planets and there aren't a lot of exodite planets. The Dark eldar live in commoragh which is a big pirate city deed in the webway. And the craftworld eldar live in giant city ships called craft worlds. There some plantes with eldar ruines inside the Eye of terror I believe, but I doubt there still eldar living there.
"Imperial Guard troops who survived" yet again the four Guardsmen of the apocalypse from the chaos fortress are kicking ass.
It's because they handshaked with the Emperor Himself.
Stealth detection should be prescribed if your sectors have symptom of "slender and swift-moving figures vanishing without a trace".
or some kind of comunist blueberries
I see the Eldar ending as a win for the Imperium too. The Eldar indirectly returned the system back in Imperial hands. Sure Kaurava 3 was off limits because of necrons but having the others is decent compensation

Ok this was surprisingly one of the coolest endings.

Who knows... maybe they didn't want to leave an empty planet for anyone to settle, or maybe they foresaw that a new IG garrison would handle matters satisfactorily for them. The Eldar, by and large, do not hold territory like the Imperium does.
@gta1771 They somewhat started from scratch with DoW2, I think they will either slowly add more races and units, or just more races (there are only so much a single base building can build giving the limit of the hotkey squares that are available.
They don't "use" pylons. The pylons where there when the humans first settled on Cadia. They don't know that the pylons are necron in origin, but they understand that the pylons on Cadia calms the warp storm around Cadia and make it the only safe path in or out of the Eye of Terror.
I know that Brom was killed by Captian Angelos, but I still liked how Brom was portrayed in both book and game, and was glad to see that he had at least a small returing part.
Even if all it means is that THQ was lazy and decided to NOT use a special model, or even just use one of the old generals, like Alexander or Sturnn.
Oh I just can't wait for DOW II!
I can totally understand that the Eldar decided that the Imperial Guard remain on Kaurava. I mean, they are fair, they will build again, and make sure that the citizen of Kaurava stay alive, and as happy as possible in Warhammer universe. And at least, they are not fanatic zealots like the Spaces Marines or the SoB.
Did anyone notice the new Governor general is the Imperial Guard Commander from Dawn of War? Looks like someone got a promotion.
so wait dawn of war soul storm is a prequel to dawn of war? Because of the "new commander of imperial guard" was seen and he didn't know what elder were.
No. Datadisks of original Dawn of War are set after it, in chronological order.
Johny Drbušek
so dawn of war 1, winter assault, dark crusade and soulstorm are set in chronological order?
Donatas Simaitis Yes. And after those is Dawn of War II with datadisks again in chronological order.
Welcome to the Imperium...Where there's so much red tape and ignorance anything can be true
Eldar and Space Marines are my favorite factions
a note to 40k players- be on the look out for a new dark eldar codex later this year/early next year... by all accounts, its going to be a nasty book
Those are some awesome warp spiders.
Imperial Guard:FOR TEH EMPRA! We dont care how many millions of men we lose as long as our leader is happy!
They also make great smoothies :3
Mormon actually. But I bring up a valid point about the Eldar. The hedonism and depravity not only led to Dark Eldar existence, but created Slaanesh. When Slaanesh came to being, the psychic force involved was so great that it killed most Eldar living in the center of their empire. That's also how the Eye of Terror was created; from Slaanesh's birth. Anyways, that's how I think Eldar reproduction might've had a hand in their downfall.
That Eldar who was watching the surviving guardsmen just naruto ran
@donlovedog
"aaah... longest piss in imperium historae, I do hope they get the fething latrines up soon and.. wtf?!?! WHAT HAPPEND TO MY BASE!?!"
Duffeknol: I was replying to a comment regerding wether in 40K the Eldar and Tau could ally. If they united I doubt the Imperium would hold. It wouldn't just be them, the Imperium has many enemies, but a united Tau and Eldar would likely be the straw that broke the donkey's back.
@warriorfar9 yup,they have a habit of putting old guys in endings.eliphas has a maledictum in his hands in dc chaos ending,in space marine dc ending the inquistor that came looks like toth including hammer.
this ending is pretty cool it makes eldars look good :)
actually the reason eldar hit and run is because their race was made almost extinct by the forces of chaos, therefore making their troops less expendable. The Space Marines are able to simply throw troops away more readily since they have more to spare.
...went nuts and started doing all possible things because they were able to do so, held some sadistic joy of doing such things, or were trying to relieve themselves that the heights of their civilization had ultimately allowed, or a combination of the three.
Simply put they let passion over take them, as is the tale of Dark Elves which, lets be honest folks, was some form of inspiration for the Eldar, not sex with multiple partners.
Tyranids: Eat, evolve, die, spawn. Repeat the cicle an infinity of times.
But the Imperial guar, surprisingly survived even with the eldar efforts, the imperial guard resists!!!!
@EBTcraft15 you would've thought they'd destroy the planet itself...
If you think being the most intelligent and powerful race isn't much of a pressure, the Eldar are still the strongest units in the Warhammer world...
Yes.
Craftworld Biel-Tan wishes to rebuild the Eldar-empire. So they protect the Maiden Worlds.
The Eldar don't colonize. They dont even have a home planet anymore.
Check out my response to RDS. But no, having sex won't lead to moral breakdown. But having sex with multiple partners could create a risk in becoming detached, jaded, and desensitized. The more partners, the higher likelihood. In the Eldar's case, I was trying to make a link between their reproduction and their downfall. They're already detached enough, but not forming attachments (whether through sex or friendship) made them seek passionate highs which caused their fall. At least in my opinion.
The Eldar could have over-run the four planets of the System, but what is the point: To hold massive military factories and strong-arm their way around the galaxy? True, they can, but like the narrator says, "They are only concerned with the distant past and future. Their only main objective will always be the Necrons, the ancient evil Chaos, and their kin known to be the Dark Eldar.
Plus the Imperium and other foes would keep attack Eldar-controlled Kaurava PLUS there's far too few Eldar left to make holding an entire star system for the long haul possible especially one that the Imperium considers to be theirs.
this ending is realy the best of all.
but just 1 question:
are my eyes playing tricks on me or is new general of imperium colonel from original dawn of war? he looks the same
eldar and humans are almost same organism that they can have kids together :)
Only the exodites have planets and there aren't a lot of exodite planets.
The Dark eldar live in commoragh which is a big pirate city deed in the webway.
And the craftworld eldar live in giant city ships called craft worlds.
There some plantes with eldar ruines inside the Eye of terror I believe, but I doubt there still eldar living there.
