Corvus Corax, yes, they do

[@phinix250]

It makes sense that they have specific kill moves for Psykers, since pre 'ward heresy' and their subsequent retconning, Phariahs were made by the Necrons to specifically combat Psykers by taking human Nulls and placing them through a partial biotransference to Necron form (although how the Necrons managed to get more human nulls than the Imperium of man is beyond me).

@@Lorgar64 In the same way that a person being shot to death is not due to a bullet's innate ability to transform someone into a corpse but rather due to the damage it does to a body. You implied that the sorcerer used his powers to turn the avatar into a statue which is not quite correct. The result is the same - the avatar's body ends up as dead rock - and looks undeniably cool. But if you look at some of the other kills, it actually does that whenever it dies. It's just better visible on that particular kill.

[@hueban1643]

Bruce Sweeney why? They where the best part of combat in any dow game!

[@BS-fg7lf]

Hueban It was cool watching it for the first few times but than it started getting annoying. Sync kills were not so bad in DoW 1 but they were trully horrific in DoW 2. The execution just wasnt too good to begin with. Had sync kills been maybe implimented better i wouldnt have a problem with it. My main gripes about it is loss of unit control and it lowers your units DPS. Quite a chunk of people started complaining about it which was the reason why Relic started moving away from sync kills and removing alot of them as well as reducing the percentages of a unit performing one in DoW 2 Retribution. Its a eye candy mechanic that doesnt fit well. Sync kills are something that could have easily been replaced by further investing in Melee and death animations.

[@hueban1643]

Bruce Sweeney sure but they didnt really do that but instead just removed them. Also (just my opinion) i always thought the general atmosphere of the game being 40k was kinda more important then the gameplay, ut was important too but seing the brutality of 40k in executions and stuff was much more fun to me than more responsive units.

love the first one Avatar of Khaine try to pull a fancy swordplay on the Bloodthirster only to be decapitated by just a single hit - Khorne would be pleased

[@reaver414]

Amazing game

[@leustragaming4386]

Love that one-handed Thunder Hammer action!!!

[@MrMaxwell1945]

Pure "Art"

[@itsnotoveryet1870]

Finally, good quality and right angle. MOAR

[@kookiry]

dow3 has no sync kills :)

[@jamessalvatore7054]

DOW 3 doesn't have a lot of anything.

[@box9706]

I can't believe thoses animations ARE in the game because it's almost impossible to see them while playing.

[@nevermore6171]

This game was ahead of its time. I love this game!

Great Gnarloc: *( Bites arm)* Daemon Prince: YOU FOOL I- what are you trying to accomplish?

[@Petreski447]

I’ve been playing this game for more then 10 years and I haven’t seen all of them till now

[@adrianaslund8605]

Still the most satisfying combat in any RTS.

[@tristanbeer1257]

I love how, even when he wins against the daemon, the Avatar of Khaine still gets his ass kicked. The poor dude just can't catch a break XD.

[@trj_creative846]

I don't remember seeing any of these! Plus that chaos sorcerer vs the avatar of Kane at the end is awesome

[@danshiba1498]

0:01 there i was thinking the fire one was winning but nope

[@christophertidwell2422]

This game came out when i was born the best compliment ive ever been given

[@Dark89Avenger]

Wow, great work. I played dawn of war more than 8 years and I haven't seen a single one of these. Then again,even if the dreadnought and the defiler start rave dancing I probably wouldn't notice :D

[@Metaretru]

DoW 1 and 2's sync kill will always have a place in my heart

[@DominatorLegend]

The Killer Kan bitch-slapping the Dread never gets old

[@SmokingSpoon]

Omg, this is so awesome! I never saw any of these! I guess they were very circumstantial! Ahh.. what a great game dow1 was
