Waaaant.

[NGTM-1R]

Those Chaos ships look gorgeous. The Imperials look much better too.

They're also recognizable as classes. Firestorms and Emperor-class; Gothics and a Despoiler; Lunar; Devestations;

...a Secutor-class? Or an Ark Mechanicus? Imperial ship with a flat prow...

[crizza]

Uh, there was even a Ramilles star fortress

@1:27? It might have been an Imperial Cruiser with a smashed in prow, it looks like they are modelling extensive battle damage.

Anyway it is looking pretty good so far!

Perhaps, but it looks very regular too. An Ark Mechanicus would have a dorsal fin in addition to a ventral one though.

Nice to see that they don't restrict your choice of Chaos Marks like the Warhammer/40k games usually do...

And still waiting for Eldars ships..

And ork ships, hopefully they'll be another trailer showing off the eldar and orks

Hoping for tau add on later....

[Aesaar]

Tau suck.  Seriously, they have the worst ships of all the factions both in the rules and in the fiction.  Even their warp drives are pathetically slow, on account of them having no Navigators.  Or FTL communications.

We'd probably get Space Marines, Necrons, and Tyranids long before Tau.

I might be mistaken, but somehow the imperial ships using torps and chaos ships lances itches me...

Wish for Necrons or Tyranids instead, they're far more fun to play.

Yeah, that was weird to me too.  Well, Imperial Navy torpedo spam and Nova Cannons is fine, but the defining feature of the Chaos fleet isn't lances, it's swarms of strikecraft and longer range gun batteries (they mentioned that last one).  IN typically has access to more lances that Chaos does.  They're just shorter range.

Of course, that's TT stuff, but the TT game had very, very good IN-Chaos balance.  I'm hoping it's just a simplification for the purposes of a short gameplay video.

And I agree with NGTM-1R.  They really made the Chaos ships look good.

Space Ironclad Cathedrals Roll Out:

[NGTM-1R]

Confirm Eldar. That's a Shadow-class.

The ships look amazing.

[Aesaar]

This game just looks better and better.

[Spoon]

This game has my attention now.

[crizza]

I hope ramming enemy ships needs a special command, otherwise I see my ships doing this all the time, by accident

It does not, or at least that is what the current alpha gameplay trailers shows some kind of generic maneuver tool in the bottom right of the UI at 0:35 and onwards

First footage of an Eldar ship now but still no word on how their TT gameplay translates into the game (Eldar don't have shields per se but measures to cause enemy shots to miss; Eldar propulsion works a bit different than other factions etc etc)

Wish for Necrons or Tyranids instead, they're far more fun to play.

Second the motion for Tyrandis ... SPACE KRAKENS!

[That Man]

The problem I see with the Necrons is that their ships are, ton for ton, much more powerful than the ships of other factions, at least in the lore.

Tyranids would probably be pretty cool, but this game takes place during the 12th Black Crusade, long before either Tyranids or Necrons are encountered. Which is lame, but not having those two species to wrangle with probably cuts down on a) feature creep and therefore b) development time.

Story trailer? Story trailer.
