Just looking around, Ive noticed we don't have one of these. Being a nubbins to the (amazing) game, I find it very hard to read strats as they consist of things like "go lp1 at tier 2 but never ds + tt against LM miki liki shiika..".
So I'm requesting a DoW slang translation thread, I think it would be a help to all the new players like myself.
EDIT
I noticed the other one, but it looks more for the table top/40k in general. Maybe merge threads?

Once we get enough in each thread (TT slang, DoW slang, Vehicle set-ups), I'm merging them all into one. apologies for any grammar fopars, I'm busy.

IMBA: Imbalanced
CSM: Chaos Space Marines
SM: Space Marines
'Crons: Necrons
Tao: Idiot can't spell Tau. =p
ASM: Assault Marines
FW: Fire Warriors
NW: Necron Warriors
IG: Imperial Guard/Guardsmen
LS - Landspeeder
NB - Nightbringer

Imbatox: Current patch of Krootox. Called so due to being IMBA

LP1/2/3 Stage of listening post. I'm not sure if 1 actually means the 1st upgrade, in which case there is no 3.

DS - Deepstrike

Uber-Unit/Relic unit - A unit that requires a relic and often Tier Three research. Often sited as units that define Tier Four.

T0 - Very start. for SM, you can build Scouts and Servitors
T1 - Tier one. The actual start of the game. All stuff available before T2 (first HQ upgrade)
T2 - Tier Two: Vehicles come into play. this is after the 1st base upgrade, usually.
T3 - Tier Three: after 2nd base upgrade, some of the best units become available.
T4 - Uber-units and best tanks come out, usually after research at T3. Technically, there are only 3 tiers. These other tiers are more defnined by the use of them as terms in strats.

More to come, possibly.
