The Tau are so awesome, their weapon range is ridiculous with both range upgrades. It's like rapid firing sniper rifles!

The Tau certainly have a much more tactical element to the use of their units, which I love. It's a crying shame that this wasn't used from the beginning with the other races.

As it stands the game is still very much geared towards amassing a larger army than your enemy and then rushing him. A great example is the second mission in the demo. The Space Marines, who by definition are supposed to be small but mighty forces, send wave after wave of men and dreadnoughts to their destruction when they are supposed to be holding the area and waiting for you to attack them, rediculous!

Rather restricting demo... I don't see why they couldn't let us play as the Necrons, and just locking certain units as they did with the Tau. :|

But its was still a pretty fun demo, the Tau are so badass.

I wonder how long until someone unlocks the units?

I wonder how long until someone unlocks the units?

If that is even possible, Relic have probubly learned a lesson since their first DoW demo. There are likely no models for the units that are not accessible.

I loved the one vehicle the tau could get in the demo though...

From the demo I get the impression though that the world campaign will not be what I expected (40k: Total War).

Also what Xune said, its a shame the AI simply kept sending wave after wave of troops at your base, when they are meant to be one the defencive D: Shame problems like that aren't likely to be solved

This could well be the expansion that inspires me to buy the game. The Tau were ALWAYS (since 2001 :cheese my favourite race. Followed by the Tyranids. Here's hoping they're in expansion 3 eh?
