Dawn of War is arguably the greatest warhammer video game of all time and along with Lord of the Rings, is one of the biggest influences on my relationship with Warhammer, and all things tabletop wargaming. It was the spark that lit the inferno which became my teenage Warhammer 40k obsession, as soon as I was immersed within the hobby I wanted to bring this game to life on the table. I made several attempts as a teen, inspired by a mid 2000’s White Dwarf article, and I actually planned to launch this project in 2018 but got distracted by Middle Earth but with Games Workshop currently cranking up the Nostalgia for early Warhammer 40k, I cannot resist any longer.

I love this so much! Have you explained anywhere where/how you made the objective markers with the custom swappable flags? I love that idea and would like to make them for gaming with my son! Helps a lot with sticky objectives too.

[@priestking8636]

I'd recommend to do buildings like... Buildings. The FORTRESS not making save rolls against at least heavy bolters was... Strange. I mean that this is GODDAMN FORTRESS, but even buggies made of scrap are seem more protected...

Think of all the dakka firing from the orc battlements. Literally every one of thier buildings is a pile of guns and gibens.

Ever since the first one came out I couldn’t wait for the second!

[@ZorpHammer]

I hope I keep that hype going for the third hehe

[@EricArthurHastle-by8yo]

I can’t wait for the third already.

[@felwreaver4911]

The fact yous managed to turn one of the best rts games ever into its tabletop counterpart and make it work so well is truly amazing and a blessing to all wh40k fans 😊

[@narkle9723]

Wait you only have 10k subs, jeez, I was expecting like 500k or something honestly. This is some of the highest quality wh40k stuff I've seen in a while and the ruleset you've made for this honestly seems 10x better than normal play, much more entertaining to watch too. Hope this format becomes a lot more popular and that this channel gets the growth it deserves.

[@ZorpHammer]

Thank you so much mate :) I really enjoy it that's for sure haha

[@andytucker9573]

You guys smashed it, so entertaining and you do so well telling the story, rather than it just being a batrep. The hidden units were hilarious!

[@ZorpHammer]

Bloody Beau the sneaky Ork hahahaha, thanks man

[@bacman6998]

Dawn of War was actually my first introduction into 40k surprisingly. A few years later and I'm building my first tabletop army. Love to see the two game systems combined and so well too! Fantastic job!

[@themilkbaron8290]

This is one of those rare adults that never forgot how to have fun and dream big. Keep it up!

[@ZorpHammer]

Will do mate!

[@AlexGoldhill]

Getting old is mandatory. Growing up is optional.

[@Hisiek]

It is really nice to see familiar Dawn of War on tabletop. The whole board and models are awesome. Only one thing really bugs me. I don't know if it's because Warhammer is so unbalanced when you play against Space Marines or your rules could have a little bit of ballancing changes, but for the whole time (since the last part) I have the felling that Orkz have no freakin chances. It's like Marines shoot and autodeletes a unit of Orkz, or even vehicle, or building. Orkz charge and are in melee (wich they should be strong AF) throw 20+ dices and score 2 wounds wich remove a single model... Thats just sad...

[@Dorsidwarf]

Yeah, it did make it a bit hilarious how the narrative kept suggesting the space marines were under real threat or it was balanced on a knife edge when the space marines spent the entire game sweeping every single engagement with minimal losses, with the sole exception of the assault marines who jumped right into three melee specialists.

[@erds4113]

A title so nice they used it twice Seriously tho i'm so excited to see these every time they come up

[@ZorpHammer]

I'm bloody stoked to have you here mate

[@dominanoctis388]

Can't wait for the Winter Assault and Soulstorm playthrough, with all factions.

[@TheNetterRiese]

I've started played Dawn of War because of your first video and now I'm already feeling a weird sense of nostalgia watching this one :D

[@snufflebunny539]

Rogal dorn of war when

[@ZorpHammer]

HAHAHAHA, I do own a HH Imperial Fist army! ...sort of

[@shawnm3012]

Is that just a city builder game?

[@jasoncarter3182]

Using the plane as a gang way is such a perfect idea for orks

[@Wolfineer_]

Hopefully the final form you create will be a bit more balanced as this is a really fun concept to try out. Since we don't quite know the behind the scenes actions the orks took or the intended campagin narrative flow, I can only make assumptions based on what I saw and the RTS. The Ork unit size (or pop cap?) and their buildings lacking their offensive shooting whilst being so squishy compared to the marine structures could use some adjustment.

[@MaskOfMetal94]

Taking the GW approach and giving the Marines all the fun gear and making the orks run on trash.

[@SusCalvin]

Some Oldhammer scenarios use blind or doubleblind deployment or gameplay. They might mention a referee to assist the game. In some scenarios you can do fun little things like find unit strength manifests in an office, like a duty roster where the orks have detailed who gets to do the boring and fun jobs. Players might have no knowledge of the other army or use pre-determined units.

[@mikeglasswell-gameplay]

Classic Dawn of war game, the enemy attacks your base while you were focused on your main army and having to build quick tac marines with no upgrades. nostalgia overload

[@DjigitDaniel]

A phenomenal concept, turning a battle game into a skirmish game with a board game adaption of RTS economics. I've been absolutely inspired by this project. Great work and best of luck.

[@ZorpHammer]

Ah thank you buddy! It's going to be an unwieldy beast to balance, but I think we can get something working pretty well for a nice fun day of gaming among mates :)

[@DjigitDaniel]

@@ZorpHammer , maybe it's the old school grognard in me, but balance is overrated. ;) Keep cracking on.

[@haz7146]

I'd love to see the impirial guard, with just a legion of hell hounds! Incinerating the Green skins!!! 🔥 loving the series so far!!!! Great job!

[@frothiestsword1389]

This is somewhere up high on the list of the coolest things I’ve seen in this hobby, you are living out all of our nerd dreams!

[@JoshabitheTogekiss]

Oh, da brutal kunnin! Da kunnin brutality! I had thought that this almost read like a story mission, where the marines were intended to win - and the moment when it looks like the orks are going to absolutely ruin that plan! This really has been an incredible battle report, I cannot commend you both enough for how this one went - and it only took 2-4 days to get through it all!

[@annbeez]

Ending in a base race, classic. Make sure you submit your replay to funday Monday.

[@Madhattersinjeans]

Now there's a term I haven't heard in a long time. Funday monday.

[@keanumaas2227]

This right here is why i started a blood ravens army! Growing up playing dawn of war made them an obvious choice and by the emperor do i want to try this one day

[@ZorpHammer]

Yeah mate they were such a HOOK for us aye! Love those little red bone tin cans.

[@Hamper92]

So nostalgic. Love this campaign! Great to see Imperial Guard. Also your oath of moment you can re role hits and wounds

[@Himog]

I would love to see imperial Guard in this kind of setting, they have some nice special rules like entrenching in their own buildings and going between them using tunnels, maybe you could even make a Winter Assault themed campaign. Also it would be nice if you could build a listening post atop a control point to boost it's requisition production and add some defensive capabilities

[@ZorpHammer]

Yeah we've done away with posts for the time being just to try and make the game as accessible as possible to keep the building requirement low for folks making terrain at home :)

[@Himog]

Even without them the game is amazing (but it would add a little more dawn of war vibes even as an optional thing) and i would want to try it but i only have and would want to play as Guard, guess i’ll have to wait for rules to them

[@Panzersoldat]

Converting the video game to physical tabletop gaming is brilliant! It's shocking that Games Workshop never did this. Kudos for your initiative :)

[@PedroFranciscoGabarronPay]

Please Zorp, do more of this stuff, keep doing this!!! Who knows, if you ask me, you have to do the mission under siege, saving the population of tartarus, defending the city, and taking out the orks from the city. Keep it up!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@Lithiticus]

First, loving the content! Second, Oath of Moment allows you to re-roll hits AND wounds. (Unless you've changed that for Dawn of War)

[@ZorpHammer]

Thanks mate! We use the Combat Patrol Oath of moment not the full faction bonus as it's more balanced for our scale :)

[@dreadknot69]

I don't even like warhammer but I'm enjoying this series. Love the base building and upgrades and fog of war. This needs to be adapted to other games. Also, the sounds effects really add to the game.

[@MrTarly]

Seeing the Thousand Suns storming the Fang would be a pretty Epic Dawn of War Battle Report. Nice job sirs!!!

[@turfdorbrittlebeard1674]

There is no worse feeling than having no one at your base and you have to spawn in new squad after new squad to watch them sacrificed to keep the base alive!

[@monitorcrazy9639]

you need to add tyranids it would so sick having tyranids invaing planets with their egg sacs everywhere and spores covering all around their territory

[@roadgoeseveron7128]

oh and i love that the smoky wrecked destroyed hulls of the vehicles and buildings stay on the field!

[@klug5916]

I find this game much more enjoyable than the average. It's very dynamic, and the point to play the movements rather than mesuring everything really helps to feel like the video game. Great job guys

[@bliss6217]

I still play the game to this day and it's great to find someone playing it on the tabletop. Normally I lose interest watching battle reports of standard games, but I sat down and watched both episodes without realizing the time! Great job on coming up with all of these custom rules.

[@pt1457]

MORE DAWN OF WAR WARHAMMER!!! I love these batreps Zorp. Your Heresy batreps last year were definitely an inspiration for me to start my own Heresy army. Hopefully going to get that up by end of summer here.

[@Biggles369]

Absolutely brilliant! I saw this pop up in my feed, but wanted time to watch it fully and savour it. Can't wait for more Dawn of war as I am loving what the 'fog of war' adds to the game. - I think GW should use it tournaments!!! Next faction has to be Imperial Guards, though that will mean a ton of models so maybe Chaos or Eldar as they are next in the story line.

[@ZorpHammer]

Ah thank you biggles! I'm going to try and rapidly do some faction updates now so stay tuned!!

[@atherleyoakes1620]

So glad another episode is out and hope it carries on 😃

[@blackwolf671]

Im one of those guys that just likes all the factions. When I got back into 40k after a long time away, I started with Choas... and ended up playing Word bearers. When I painted the orks they just got whatever color shirt looked right for the pose.. runners in red, flashy gits in yellow, 'ard boys in black. Tau were Bork'an sept, Then I got to the eldar and I couldn't settle between Biel-Tan and Ulthwe and I finally realized... I was just picking DOW factions for my color schemes.

love this! For future stuff like this i think i might enjoy a short rundown overview of the board either at the beginning (although i do enjoy just swinging into action) or maybe at a few key moments in between when its important, just to have a better understand of where those command points are and more of a spacial feel overall, sometimes it gets confusing with the camera moeving around a lot - i know its a narrative campaign report and i love that! i think narrative is the way to play warhammer for me, but its still nice to kinda understand where everything is :D other then that - chefs kiss
