While it's difficult to make out the guttural baritone voice of the above trailer's narrator, we're pretty sure that this is an E3 teaser for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II. Those already invested in the series will be glad to know that the svelte Eldar will be making an appearance in the the RTS franchise's latest installment, and that they will apparently wield neat glowing swords. At least, we think they're swords. For all we know, the Eldar might just be on their way to a futuristic fantasy-themed rave -- after all, they are well-known among their contemporaries for being the galaxy's official party race.

Wow, you don't know the word svelte? I think you guys need to read more. It means slender or graceful.

The Dark Eldar are the party race. The regular Eldar are the stuffed shirt royals of the universe.

I never got why they felt the need to add the Dark Eldar... the eldar were always pretty dark anyway. None of the 40k races were ever very "light".

The Tau were light, or at least the most noble of all W40k Races bent on uniting the Universe, a little crooked but like I said, The MOST noble of all the races. Also I just shat like 20 brix after watching that vid....loved it and want more.
