I like that they made wraithbone look cool. It's alien now, instead of shiny plastic.
And those Bald Ravens charging reminded me of Ultramarines movie and Chaos charging like fucking idiots into gunfire.

[Egan_BW]

trailer is accurate, loyalists are suicidal idiots

[MrRoboto75]

Those in-game units seem remarkably ungrimdark. Might just be that it's still in production tho.

It looks like they were photoshoped in after the fact

[Arx]

Apparently that's intentional to make battlefields easier to read. Can't say I blame them, if they're trying to merge massive clashes with high tactical control.

[Egan_BW]

But muh grimdark

But muh grimdark

Agreed. Grimdark is necessary for the continued existence of this humble battle bruvah.

Peacepillow 40k.
WELCOME TO NOBLEBRIGHTNESS OF FAR FUTURE!

[GiglameshDespair]

In the bright nobleness of the future there is only mutual understanding.

Also apparently the plot point of DoWIII is Ynnead.
Explains the mountain of bodies, but on the other hand... PLOT ADVANCEMENT WHAT THE FUCK, IS IT REALLY HAPPENING?!

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Ynnead will be summoned by the sacrifice of a farseer, arriving as a larger, pallet-shifted Avatar of Khaine. S/he'll then turn on the Eldar and kill them. The brave BHLUD RHAVENS will then kill it with bolters and best value gem packs.

The epilogue will be a minor guardsmen character lamenting that the Blood Ravens are leaving them to go on another adventure. The post credits scene will be Eliphas cracking open a forgotten tomb of artifacts and laughing. Cut to black.

[Kot]

Ynnead is literally a full on Chaos God of Death, as in non-existence (unlike Nurgle who is more like a God of Life), not just a simple Avatar of something. His creation would cause proably even more bullshit than fucking Slannesh into existence.
Do you know what that means?
It means Warhammer 40k: End Times.
RELIC NO

[TempAcc]

BRING IN THE AGE OF SIGMAR EMPRAH, EVERY BRUVA GETS METAL WINGS AND SCREAM DIIIIIVE.

[Dorsidwarf]

Ynnead is one of those Eldar things that makes you think "how the FUCK could this be a good idea"
And then you realise that it's the ultimate FUCK YOU to the filthy lower races, the Old Enemy, the hungry beast, and Slaanesh itself.
A new chaos god, powered by the only thing more common than disease and bloodshed in 40k.

Alien Space Elf MAD Swansong Grimdark Death God

So fucking 40k
 

[MetalSlimeHunt]

There's some Eldar fluff that suggest it isn't as horribly bad an idea as it seems, in that they believe once Ynnead skullfucks the chaos gods (or at least Slaanesh) s/he'll reincarnate the Eldar, including those taken by She Who Thirsts.

[Grim Portent]

The Eldar who believe in Ynnead think it'll restore their race to glory after freeing all the Eldar gods and souls that Slaanesh has taken over the years, presumably reincarnating their dead and generally being a nice guy.

Given the nature of how most Eldar die (battle is their greatest cause of death due to lack of disease and long lifespans) and the amount of souls that get pulled out of the Infinity Circuit to power Wraithconstructs, it's probably a safe bet Ynnead will be pretty messed up if/when he coalesces from the Infinity Circuits conglomerated souls, possibly making a nihilistic god of death rather than a benevolent god of reincarnation.
