Yep, they added the new play mode with Last Stand. I'm pretty stoked. Hit me up if anyone wants to co-op it with me.

This is definitely the most fun i've ever had playing this game. Its a wave after wave survival mode, and from what I can tell by the leader board there are 19 levels, or 20 and no one has finished 20... Anyway, your able to pick 3 different characters and level each one individually. You get new gear and weapons, and there are no other units. Just you, and 2 other players against increasingly difficult opponents. It gets really hard at wave 9 where there are just hordes and hordes of Eldar with platforms and the amount of spinner fire is insane.
The furthest I got was with my first game. We made it to level 9 with 1 level 6 player, and two of us at level 1, all playing as space marine sergeants. My second game we only made it to level 8 with 2 level 2 SM players and a level 4 mekboy who was horrible and constantly died, I think he was downed on every wave.
You can revive downed opponents and you actually have 2 control points you need to hold, and if you claim one during an active wave you get a multiplier which really helps. Points are awarded for kills and the amount of points depends on the difficulty of the unit destroyed.
And one last really fun thing that everyone should be excited about... There is a wave of Imperial Guardsmen. Win.
If you have this game, go play this survival mode NOW. And if you don't have it yet, this is reason enough to buy the game, especially with it being only $20 this week. It is by far more fun than anything else in this game and I think we're going to see a lot more of this gametype coming from Relic.

So here's a screenshot of the Imperial Guardsmen. Pretty stoked about this. The screenie isn't the best, but it shows they are. They yell stuff like "fix those bayonets!" Kinda funny watching them get slaughtered. Easiest wave yet.

I'm having a great time with this! I'm playing this non stop and I love it. I got to the last wave, Wave 20, already but I couldn't win that. My highest level character is my Captain with level 17 right now. However, I am leveling my Farseer, she's at level 11 now. My Mek is at 11, too.
If you haven't played this mode yet eventhough you bought the game, do it now. Right now. I'm not kidding. This mode is great!

Yo Calle, you should add me on steam, i'd love to be able to play with someone rather than random level 1 players.
Just tried it for the first time, only played 3 games in a row and got to level 3 as Captain, we kept dying on wave 9. Was really fun, will play this whenever anyone else wants to, hit me (or others) up,

This is Madness!
Wave 10, with a mix of several Tactical squads (All plasmagun wileding) and scouts is where the actions at!
I've found that with the Eldar, they're content to sit back and shoot you despite being cutdown like wheat if you're a Big Mek with a Shoota. Dont let your buildings get destroyed early on by Zoanthropes/StickBombaz.
Add me, Shark 5kin Man on windows live and I'd love to play with some other eGO'ers (The random pubs arent intrested in conversation/co-ordination).
I have to admit Wargear =/= Skill.

I added you sissy, add me on steam if you have trouble getting ahold of me on Windows Live. I use Acefisher1 for pretty much everything. I should be easy to find.
And yeah. I got past wave 9 twice so far, but I keep getting stuck with one player that drops as soon as the match starts... I've also actually played solo since both players dropped and made it to wave 7. That was fun...
