That might be it. The Necrons have been in a lot of the Dawn of War games.
Verified with a quick dive into the Warhammer wikis that the quote attribution is authentic and said by Bronislaw Czevak during the Conclave of Har.
If we do get Necrons I hope they're more of a threat. Like the first few missions are a standard "Astartes arrive on a world to defend it from Orks but Eldar are there too to do something else" and then the Necrons awaken and the Astartes and Eldar ally with each other and let the Orks do the grunt work while they go and destroy the Necrons.
This would be the first game with the Newcrons, wouldn't it?
It would, yeah, where they're actual little kingdoms and small empires and not just mindless killing machines.

They can be whatever the player wants,which is cool.
They can still be mindless killing machines or little kingdoms,
This is according to their updated codex

and then you have Trollzyn the Infinite.... he'll probably swoop in at the last minute to nick everyone's stuff

If you go by the memes, he's up against some master thieves now.
Which reminds me - I'm really, really hoping for the Thousand Sons to appear in some capacity. Given the chapter's weird makeup, I figure that if the Chaos faction just has Rubric Marines as a special unit and lesser Sorcerers who can lead squads, the TS would be easy to represent in the campaign without having to make a whole new faction for them.
As long as no one tries to make them poorly masquerade as the Ultramarines again.
Seriously, why did Goto do that? That made no sense at all!

I want to Slaanish units (Noise Marines,Keeper of Secrets) to appear in some form

CAN YOU HEAR US OVER THIS NOISE?!?!
2 handled it pretty well by featuring the cult units in the Black Legion - we were just missing the Rubric Marines, I think?
EDIT: And I'm pretty sure those are way too big to be Wraithlords in the trailer. And aren't their heads differently shaped? Is there an Eldar Titan that's basically a Wraithlordlord?

Well there's Wraithguard but those are a little taller than Space Marines, I think.
Probably Wraithknights with a different loadout.

Kind of funny that Wraithknights are so much bigger than Wraithlords.
Well unfortunately there's no size comparison pictures on Google so I can't really be sure but I'm pretty sure they're Wraithlords.

Possibly.
◊ The smaller machines were Imperial Knights, right? I might have misidentified them. If they are, then the scale seems about right for the Eldar machines to be Wraithknights.

You're doing the markup wrong, it's brackets, link, then commentary.
And in that case, now that I know the actual size, yeah okay, that may very well be a Wraithknight then. And yes, the smaller machines were Imperial Knights, they were not Dreadnoughts or Titans.

It would be great if, for once, Orks could avoid being a "decoy" enemy and stay the main threat...
"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."
Well, it looks like they're taking part in a single campaign that has you switching between factions. At the very least, they'll be pulling partial protagonist duty.
Welp now that this has been announced maybe i'll finally get to playing the rest of the other games/expansions. Right now i've only beaten Vanilla Do W 1 and just did the tutorial for the imperial Guard in Winter assault.
There is a big-ass grin on my face from when i set a baneblade to work....

I was in the middle of a Soulstorm campaign as the Imperial Guard when my old Windows laptop crapped out XD Hopefully I can get a better one before this comes out.
Because nobody posted it yet. Remember that this is pre-alpha footage:
I'm not sure I like Gabriel doing flips with his hammer and power armor. The 40k universe isn't without its cheese, but I find it to be a bit too goofy. In general, I don't like the cartoony look either. It looks more like Warcraft than Warhammer.

Also, that article suggests that the base building will be pretty much like the original Dawn of War. Oh, very well.
