What do you think of it and what do you expect?

Personally I have the feeling there'll be a fourth faction yet to be released which will most likely be the Necrons given a quote from the (old) Necron codex was used at the beginning of the trailer as well as the fact that along with Chaos and the Tyranids they are the one of the three greatest threats to life in the galaxy. From the DoW 2 years I remember that the Tyranids took a little while to be revealed and initially it was just Space Marines, Orks and Eldar, which in the scheme of things I'm not really complaining, it's a good base to start with. Given the inclusion of the Necron Overlord as a Last Stand Character in order to reinvigorate interest in Dawn of War, I'd put my money on the Necrons as a fourth faction and the big bad one that the Orks, SMs and Eldar have to face.

A lot of people have been complaining that Chaos hasn't featured in this which I think is fair enough criticism, yet I reckon the Necrons would make a more interesting adversary as we haven't seen them in a game since their (substantial) Codex overhaul and the new Crons will be quite interesting.

But hey also Gabriel Angelos, Gorgutz and Macha are all back and if they're facing the Necron threat (who along with IG, Tau and Tyranids are my favourite) this will be epic. Kinda makes me wish that Retribution ended with a massive all out war where the factions and Chaos and the Necrons just fought it all out in an epic battle.

Also those screenshots, I have a feeling they're photoshops mixed with pre-alpha so they haven't really dented my hype (except that cover system, wtf is going on there) but either way the weapons effects look pretty good and given the release date is 2017 there's plenty of time.

To round it all off, all aboard the hype train, TW Warhammer may be weighed down by this unneccessary bullshit but I've waited too long for Dawn of War III, here we come.
