I own a copy of the game, but my computer still refuses to install direct-x, so i havnt played it yet.

I have heard people say that the space marine Assault terminators in the game are rather useless. Is this true, because they are awesome in the actual 40k tabletop game (they destroy vehicles and heavy armoured units with ease).

That's what they do in the game as well. They're the best assualt infantry in the game.

in hell 😱 the terminators can wipe the floor with any other infantry and use war hammers, they can even fight tanks one on one 😄 ... they have personal teleporters and prior to that can be inserted anywhere on the map threw pod drop 😄

✅ and chaos has thier own version which is the best ranged infantry in the game.

The chaos are really fun. I love their style and their demons.

The bloothirster is my pimp, holy shit that thing is awesome.

The battles in this game are so sweet, It's great just watching them.

😱 droolio hell yeah... grind them down till they break... or die doing it 😱 "we are CHAOS, CHAOS..... IS STRONG!!!!!!!!!!" 😂

haven't seen a fight that didn't have a surprise or two 😂

Can u get the korn demon?

✅ its called a Bloodthirster 😄 its a Daemon of Khorne 😄

hell no, the ternimators are hard, thats true, but the Blood Angles Blood Squads are heaps tougher in close combat, the Tyranids Warriors wipe the floor with terminators and the Ork Nobs in mega armor WHIP the termis hands down. so there 😉

😛 we are talking about the PC game version 😛 there isn't a Blood Angle Chapter in this game 😛 Nobs, Obliterators, Terminators, Eldar Harpies, Eldar High Council, and Possesed Chaos squads are melee specialists in this one. 😛

What are Jump pack Marine Assault squads like in the game compared to terminators in melee?

damn, they should have Blood Angels, there straight up battle feild MONSTERS! but the orks are better, the nobs just kick arse all over the place

can you shoot out their jump packs so they fall to the ground and leave a splat mark? that'd be cool. oh and are there the ork rokkit boyz? Da Vultures and the like, and they crash into the enemy if they cant land

There are rokkit boyz 😛 and jet jump jump troopers on chaos and S Marines. no they just drop to the ground when they shoot them and they wont jump unless they can land, however they are REALLY quick. 😖

How tough is the bloodthirster in the game

well.... it can fight a whole army alone 😛 but with support, its unstoppable... if it doesn't fight it losses life fear

How many units are normally on the battlefield at any one time. Is there a limit as to how big the army can be?

Well each army has different limits. Each unit takes more up as the next and certain squads and armies. Like the space marines suad has a limit of 9 + a sergent + a hero of some type if you wish. while the Orks can have in a basic infantry unit a sergent, 14+ infantry and + hero. and Nobs and terminators cost more pop points. Terminators cost 5 pop and each Nob takes up 4 .... Orks get a pop limit of 99 infantry and everyone gets a vehicle limit of 20... tanks take up 3 points each. Land Raider 5. So the Space marines can build 4 land raiders and up to 40 pop of infantry.

I have seen up to 1000+ units on one field at once.

Normally maybe 5 squads fighting for one beginning battle. usually the enemy is trying to use cover and ambush the incoming enemy.
