They sold me at the wraithknight.
I mean, unless they're going to give us different astartes chapters that's it. I don't see them giving a whole slot to the Inquisition or something. Though if they were going to give us astartes chapters some space wolves, dark angels and grey knights would be nice.

Sisters of Battle are necessary for a variety of reasons.
In the PC Gamer article they noted that the color is there to make everything readable. I imagine it's for all modes.
Inquisition was a seperate race in DoW2 and Sisters of Battle was one in DoW1:Soulstorm so I don't see why not. IMO it's pretty obvious nowadays they'll intend for this to be a constantly updated thing through expansions/DLC, Realistically there's probably no other way you can do a big budget RTS in 2017.

Inquisition and Sisters of Battle were already their own factions in DOW1 and 2 so they could bring them in along with one more if they do 3 expansions or so. If that is their strategy at all, who knows. They could also do smaller more frequent additions and give each their own smaller campaigns.
I just want Tyranids, Dark Eldar and Tau ASAP

I am grinning like a dead Space Marine, I had no idea this was close enough for a trailer.
Could have done with some squigs but I say that about every game.

Even in death, I still served.
By which I mean, DoW1 and its expansions were the first games I always downloaded when upgrading to a new PC or laptop. I knew DoW3 would be announced one day. It's so super awesome that it's not a MOBA or F2P mobile game or some other bastardization.

Can't wait for this game. Relic are the best rts developers around and DoW 3 sounds great. Hopefully it is a sales monster and thy can pump more cash into company of heroes.
I really am happy they are going back to this style of game. Except for the look of the Dreadnoughts, which look weird and not how I remember them, everything in this trailer looks amazing. The screenshots look even better, since there is actual color on the units and it isn't a muddy mess. Pretty excited to see what they do!
I might have missed the actual dreadnoughts when I watched the trailer, but I'm pretty sure they only showed Imperial Knights in there. Which are pretty much mini-Titans.

I am so happy right now! I look forward to seeing it detailed further and more gameplay shown.

That's why you have the Dark Eldar.
it's honestly looks far more like DoW2 in those screenshots to me. In MP you'd definitely have these kinds of numbers running around.
Ugh no. We don't need ultra grimdark versions of already grimdark elves.

There is so much material and so many authors that its really a mixed bag.
I suggest gravitating towards a race/theme that you are attracted to and read a codex or book based around that. The Space Marine Battle Books are a good place to start. They'll center around a particular conflict and you can usually find a book about 2 armies you are interested in fighting one another.
I believe the very best way for first timers to start reading into the universe is to grab a collection of short stories and then go from there. You get a nice selection of the variety of types of stories that take place in the 40k universe and it will nudge you into bigger and better things.
The elephant in the room is the Horus Heresy collection, currently at 37 novels with no end in sight. They are pretty good IMO, but I wouldn't throw someone into the deep end like that, lol!

I'm super psyched that they put out the Necron in Last Stand because it means they're not ignoring them. I have high hopes to see them in DOW3 at some point. Love the Necrons with all my soul. They WILL conquer everything, just give them a little time. Maybe a lot of time.

Imperil Knight scale, for those who do not know:

the first 3 or 4 are a pretty good start to it, although some of finer details require some previous 40k knowledge, since they don't explain everything, but it isn't necessary
Judging from their past DLC model, there'll be /plenty/ more down the line. I'm worried that, like a lot of other big-budget sequels, it won't have all the modes everybody liked from older games at launch. For some reason I don't see both co-op campaign and Last Stand making it in at launch.
Remember when the Sisters of Battles were a thing?
DOW had base building and a three expansion packs that made it content galore
DOW2 kinda went for this weird squad based strategy game shtick which, although not bad, was quite dismaying after coming from DOW1.
I'm wondering now how they'll combine the two play styles here as they claim
Either way, at least with DOW2, they decided to experiment immediately instead of a certain 2 decade long trademark RTS franchise that decided to shift to some eSports control point formula at the very last entry COUGHCommand&ConquerCOUGH

Yes! Lots of RTS goodness lately is awesome. And base building is back!
In a weird way it's kind of fitting for Chaos to be absent in the first game. In pre-expansion DOW 2 they were kind of clawing at the edges of the storyline but didn't actually appear until Chaos Rising.
It is so fucking good.
For some strange reason I thought Relic was in trouble thanks to the THQ fiasco but they are, in fact, still trucking along.
