I can't find a good demo for this game so I can try it out.

Try fileplanet, or Filefront. Google search for them, I know the DoW demo is on both. No registration needed for Filefront.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

An expansion announced: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/warhammer40000dawnofwarwinterassault/news_6118560.html

I wish I cared more, but...only one new race, and it's the Imperial Guard? The single player campaign was boring and I couldn't get into the multiplayer much. Bringing in Tyranids or Tau or, dare I dream, the Dark Eldar would get me interested, but as it is I'm just kind of apathetic.

Hum... that will disappoint the His Imperial Might mod team - they already have the IG ingame.

The two best looking mods are the Tau and the Necrons incidentially.

Ooh, I'd forgotten about Necrons.

You know what I'd really like to see is an RTS of Warhammer Fantasy. Done right, that could be an incredible franchise that they could keep expanding for years.

I keep thinking that I want to mod Rome Total War to have warhammer fantasy armies and even to change the campaign to the warhammer world. But its an assload of work (putting in magic would be hard, as would independant characters) and I can't mod.

Nobody has a 'warhammer fantasy video game' rights - there are rights to individual games scattered around, but no monopoly rights like THQ with warhammer 40k.

I thought Dark Omen was pretty good.  Not a perfect WFB adaptation, but certainly a good one.  And more importantly, a fun one.

I was just so dang hard!

It was hard mainly because the battle depended largely on how you deployed. The enemy would attack from certain directions, and if you didn't have units there, you lost. So it was often a case of losing the battle just so you could find out where to deploy the second time.
