Well, I'm not a Space Wolf fan but sticking the word Wolf in everything is idiotic. We get it already, they have a wolf motif! No need to spam it, writers.
I'd say the Imperium is rather hard to pin down as a whole because it is not homogeneous due to its massive size.The Imperium is more Dark Ages, less Roman, but there is this whole Greco-Roman theme to the Ultramarines. Gladii, helmet crests, the belts, the names, the organization of the entire Ultramar. Now, now, I don't say they are Greeks/Romans in space, I am trying to convey that this is the imagery they evoke.
Well, a faction will stay underplayed if you don't market it.From a business perspective, why would anyone care about their most underplayed faction? From a fan's PoV, it's a damn shame.
Night Lords.. is that one of ADB's?The Gothic War series is rather old, but still relevant and Void Stalker was released two years ago and can be found in the Night Lords omnibus. The entire omnibus is awesome, though, I highly recommend it.
I don't know, I think Retribution's portrayal of the various factions was overall excellent. They had the Space Maines being heroic, the Guard's dogged determination, Chaos was at last threatening and sinister unlike many of the previous games, the Eldar at last got some characterisation beyond 'arrogant aliens', the Ork campaign was also excellent and the Tyranids were handled as well as you can handle a race that neither speaks nor has any motivations besides eating.Goto is a grave offender of 40K in general, so he doesn't count. There is actually a pro-human Eldar in the Gothic War. DoW is generally idiotic in portrayals, but a fun game to play.
Mobile trash is also a waste of the license and they should stop making those games. It isn't like most of them are particularly profitable.Mobile trash is aimed to casual gamers and potential new customers, it's got to have Space Marine in it.
Chaos Gate was unfortunately buggy, and Final Liberation should have been expanded more but they were pretty good games, yes. Rites of War was forgettable at best, I think.Chaos Gate and Final Liberation are awesome but old and you have Rites of War, which was cool and you were the protagonists. Of all alien races, Eldar are the only that gets a unique PoV in videogame format. DoW campaigns, while fun, were to repetitive to be considered unique.
