While it might feel a little cursory to those hanging on the fate of the Chaos-tinged Blood Ravens and their quest to be loved again or whatever, in practice it just doesn't matter. But then that's always been 40K's thing: everyone's a massive wanker in one way or another. When you are bad guys hunting an even badder guy it ends up pretty oblique (and alas not in a terribly nuanced way). It struggles in terms of plot - being a pretty paper-thin 'hunt the bad guy' tale in the first place, then confused by awkwardly trying to pin six different motivations to that. There's just enough that I haven't particularly objected to playing through the same missions two or three times, but I suspect I'd have to be a special kind of 40K nutter to want to burn through all half-dozen iterations of it. Admittedly, this does in practice involve having exactly the same missions and cutscenes for the most part, but Chaos, Orks, Tyranids, Eldar, Space Marines and the newly-added Imperial Guard are each blessed by plenty of talking heads and a tailored skill tree and loot selection of their own. No lone campaign focused only on the troubled Space Marine chapter the Blood Ravens here - instead, each of the now six playable factions gets its own turn at storytime. Retribution? Superultrabution, more like.

For all the apparent laser-focusing of this second DOW2 standalone add-on's title and plot setup, in fact it's just a giant, enthusiastic explosion of future-war. Past a certain point, after a few expansion packs, a few more playable races and an armour-plated mountain of added features, there's just so much stuff in there that the game has little option but to seek total excess. It happened with Dawn of War 1, now it's happening with the RPG-tinged sequel. Consider me your Dreadnought of truthiness.ДЄh, we're at that stage again. Should you, though? Well, that's where the following words come in.

With a bit of luck, you can purchase Relic's sci-fi RTS/RPG mash-up from the likes of Steam and Direct2Drive right now, and if you can't you should have access on the 4th, online and at retail. This hasn't enjoyed the pan-continental release date it should have done, despite being so inherently online a title.

Depends on where you are and where you download from, basically. There's a trailer of the expansion below (thanks, RPS).The second Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II expansion, Retribution, launched yesterday. You can also lead around with 140 units on the battlefield. They spawn fast, they die fast, and youвЂ™re constantly rethinking what to create.'ДЄlthough he will be the only hero in the Tyranid campaign, the Swarmlord will be able to spawn Hormagaunts and Termagants at any time, assuming he has the energy to do it. His underlings do most of the fighting: huge, ever changing hordes of small units washing over the battlefield. But he also functions as a caster, chucking the Barbed Stranglers Dan mentioned to slow down and suppress large groups of units, or flush them out of a building if theyвЂ™re garrisoned. As a six metre tall creature wielding four swords made of bone, he takes care of himself pretty well. 'In action, heвЂ™s the scrappy backbone of your swarm. 'ThereвЂ™s a twist to this announcement: in RetributionвЂ™s Tyranid campaign, unlike its others, you have just one hero. Tyranids will be joining Orks and Eldar as a playable race in the next expansion for Dawn of War 2, Retribution.
