Dawn of war 1 is one of the worst games to do deathless, it's squad based and the pathfinding is not the best, so you need to be extra careful in your engagements, and some sections you will have to wait a long while for the pre-buff whirlwinds to bombard the enemy. At least you are space marines so you are rather robust. For winter assault the guard is actually kinda cracked for deathless, solid builder unit, you can put guardsmen into buildings where they shoot out and they can tunnel to other buildings, your apc is solid and you can load guardsmen into it to shoot out. eldar are not great, you have to rely on your farseer doing most of the work due to durability issues on the rest of your units. the disorder side has a mission where you really can't go deathless, unless you count cheesing the faction swap so all the deaths are on the ai controller...

@@clan741 yeah writers bias can be a problem but this was in the imperium armor books which are some of the best and most accurate books out there written directly by the forgeworld team and not contracted out to freelance authors like black library does. If lore directly from games workshops internal team isn’t accurate idk what would be. These books also have everything from force org charts to technical specs for weapons and vehicles and even the standard kit of the different factions units. Most of what we know about 40k weapons and gear comes directly from these books. It also wasn’t a pyrrhic victory for the marines since they lost that battle and retreated. They sent in a company of marines (100+ a dreadnought) to assassinate a governor friendly to the Tau. While they were searching for him the Tau sent reinforcements to the local pdf and the marines tried to hold the palace and surrounding areas while searching for the governor. By day 2 the captain in charge realized the governor must have escaped and he had already lost 80% of his company and the dreadnought so he had his thunderhawks pull the remaining marines out under cover of darkness.

One thing to remember too, just because a Space Marine was felled, doesn't mean they died, but were taken out of the fight for a tie. Meaning they may not be dead-dead, but gravely injured, some of them may be healed, augmented, parts replace, whole others if they are so badly wounded in turn can be put into a Drednaught, and they would suvive. Sadly, the scouts are as good as dead, since as I remember, Scouts are basically not full Marines with the extra organs and upgrades, yet, but full blown Marines are made of tougher stuff both in armor and fortitude.

ill be honest when i saw this uploaded i didnt really know warhammer 40k that much, i liked what i knew but didnt really take part, but on my 18th birthday a few days ago, my dad got me a warhammer starter kit, and i loved building the minis, it was really nice and fun, i didnt really understand why and i still dont really understand but i love it anyway, and me and my dad even started playing dawn of war II, we just beat the Chaos dlc just like half an hour ago, and i found it really fun, then i found this video again and watched it knowing a lot more about warhammer then i did before and i gotta say its a great video, it must be hard to try to save every Person and make sure the place is safe for them but man i respect it! gotta say the Half-life ones is where i found ur channel and i loved those videos!! keep up the good work man!!

Ahaha happy birthday man, I hope you had a good one with your old man 😄 I've got plenty more stuff I want to make and show that I know you boys will love, but yeah in the meantime have a good one with the starter kit! Painting them is the challenging but fun part

Losing 60 marines in a battle isnt at all uncommon. On Taros the Tau killed 80ish marines in the span of about a day and a half. This was also with the Tau fighting against marines on the defensive in close quarters urban combat. In an open field like we see in game against other astartes forces losing 60 marines is pretty unsurprising.

The thing about the Imperium, perhaps what truly humanizes them, is that it _does_ care about its civilians and even its soldiers and takes action to save both even at great difficulty. It just also is very pragmatic and so, if it knows it can't save people without putting even more at risk, it will let them go.

I find the story here to be the best part. Trying to fortify the planet and save everyone on it before the warpstorm devours it all was just amazing. Shame you won't be able to do it for Winter Assault, it's literally impossible to keep everyone alive there even outside the cutscenes. I myself really only focus on preserving squads over individual soldiers, it's easier to reinforce a squad rather than retrain and re-equip a brand new one. Though I try to keep my allies alive, even saving the Eldar on my first ever run and using my infantry to act as an unbreakable wall of hate and missiles against the Chaos forces.

I have weirdos on twitter always shit talking my love for the emperor, but it is truly remarkable to give everything you have and to know that tomorrow and everyday after will suck, but maybe those five minutes you bought your friends will eventually culminate into a future worth dying for.

What really got me into 40k, I suppose, is every marine, IG, or cultist has something they believe in and are willing to lay down their lives for it. So much purpose so much emotion. As a wage slave I don't have that fire. My dreams died a long time ago. So I latch on these fictional stories of heroes I can never be. What I'd give to die for Sanguinius at the Eternity Gate.

You're right. "To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods." The people in this comment section and the creator are completely misunderstanding the setting. Hell, the video starts with him saying "humanity good, alien bad." People who genuinely believe that's what 40K is about are morons, and are perpetuating the pretty-problematic notion that the Imperium is somehow the "good guys" of the setting.
