Question

Does anyone know if this requires the original Dawn of War 2? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.253.111 (talk) 22:03, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

From my Reliable sources, it does not need the first game 94.172.41.229 (talk) 23:20, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hyperlinking

I'm not sure where I'm going wrong, the link I have to "Space Marines" isn't right, it links to just the generic Space Marine page. Can someone please check that editation?

No I don't know although you can copy and paste this

Space Marines (Warhammer 40,000)

Unsigned 14 November

Factual accuracy

It is currently unknown, however, how he had managed to survive, as the Space Marine faction won the Kronus campaign (the fall of the Chaos stronghold ends with Eliphas' gruesome death at the hands of the vengeful Daemon Prince), or how he is now part of the Black Legion, as he was originally from the Word Bearers. However, accordingly to the 5th edition Codex: Chaos Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines of all origins are able to join the Black Legion.

First of all I thought Chaos Space Marines were basicly immortal, when their body is destroyed aren't they supposed to return to the warp and to return to life? Secondly and as far as I know there's no 5th edition codex for the Chaos Space Marines but a 4th edition one. Matthieu (talk) 13:01, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Chaos Space Marines are immortal in that they live forever not that they return to life after being killed. This is why CSMs do not benefit from and they shall know no fear - many of them face the regular morale rules because they are concerned with maintaining their immortality. Only the cult CSMs are dedicated enough to willingly die for their gods, hence they are Fearless.

However, accordingly to the 5th edition Codex: Chaos Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines of all origins are able to join the Black Legion. Therefore, it is possible that Eliphas joined the Black Legion at some point between the end of the Kronus campaign and the events of this game.

This information is confused. A Chaos Space Marine is a member of their legion due to sharing the genetic material of their Primarch. The reference in the Codex means that the Black Legion contains marines that have dedicated themselves to the cults and become Plaguemarines, Berserkers, Noisemarines or Sorcerers (note that there is so such thing as a Black Legion Thousand Son - that is nonsense).

Having said all that Dawn of War has broke with canon before. An example of this would be the Khorne Sorcerers in Dark Crusade. If the game does include a Word Bearer that has joined the Black Legion then it would simply be a similar breach of canon.

Also you are correct in that the current Codex Chaos Space Marines is 4th edition. I'm going to make some edits accordingly.--cruentus (talk) 12:09, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Decided to remove the entirity of the speculation. It doesn't realy belong in the opening paragraphs anyway. I had a quick look for the confirmation that Eliphas is in the game but didn't find anything solid - if someone else can cite that source it'd be appreciated.--cruentus (talk) 12:34, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar

The main article is outright painful to read. Help plz.

Second.

Well, I took the liberty of re-writing a few things, though I kept alot of the same wording so I may have missed a few things, the major work is done however so if you for some reason STILL find the article painful to read, or want an end to grammatical errors... Do it yourself, it takes like five seconds to edit something. --70.95.158.30 (talk) 06:33, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Something is wrong with this page. I've corrected the same spelling mistake numerous times, yet it keeps appearing - Either Wikipedia is having problems updating things, or someone is purposely changing it back. --70.95.158.30 (talk) 18:23, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
