History Headscratchers / DawnOfWar

** Tyranids: A reaver obviously isnt leading the hive fleets troops but a Zoanthrope would probably make a better choice.

** ImperialGuard: Best chosen out of the armies.

** Alpha Legion doctrine mandates that everyone looks like their primarch, partly to hide the existence of the Twin, and partly to confuse and disorient enemy intelligence agents. Alpha Legion put a lot of effort into recruiting spies and saboteurs in other factions, they rarely operate in the open unless their cover was blown or the final stage of their plan is being implemented which is usually kill all witnesses. Alpha Legion companies operate very independantly in a cell-like structure and will often be following a plan developed years ago without any oversight from commanders, that way if the officer in charge of an operation is assassinated the operation will proceed anyway. When Alpharius was slain by Gulliman the Alpha Legionaires kept on fighting as if nothing had changed. Not to say the least of Omegagon, Alpharius's twin, the fact that their homeworld was never discovered and the fact that they have been declared exterimnated seven times, nor suffered a lasting defeat. In essence if they were portrayed properly in DoW, the Blood Ravens would experience a mass of cultist attacks on random non-essential targets and return to base only to be nuked by a warhead buried under their stronghold while simultaneusly their ships in orbit are declared traitors and attacked by the Imperial Navy. Thats how the Alpha Legion operate, behind your back.

** They fly them through the openings, I'd guess

* Why don't the Tau get turrets? They're the only race without a WeHaveReserves approach, they use drones to reduce the number of Tau casualties, if anything, they should be the only ones with turrets.

** c) the whole idea is to get involved as discreetly and minorly as possible in order to save many Eldar lives down the line. In order to fulfill this plan, you throw countless Eldar mooks at pretty much every sentient species in the sector. Untold numbers of them die in the fighting. Yeah, that makes sense. Better get killed than die, amiright ?..

* It Just Bugs Me that people think the blood revens are somehow nicer than other chapters they are just as mean spirited and wasteful of imperial guard lives.

* SOulstorm just Soulstorm it came out more as a parody of 40k then an actual game from the setting. Everyone was such a {{Large Ham}} that it went into positive {{Narm}} I mean before that they were hammy but you expect that from [[Cross Space Marines]] Spess Mehreeens but come on.
* METAL BOXES
