The Inquisition has been sent to purge the Sub Sector of all life because of the recent Tyranid/Chaos Infestation and Dark Rumors about the Blood Raven’s chapter. It takes place 10 years after the last Dawn of War II Expansion. No, this was a solid piece of fiction about a Sub Sector on the verge of Exterminatus, a Space Marine Chapter on the brink of Chaos, and an Ork Freeboota who just wanted a hat. I almost want them to release a version of this army painter just so a hobbyist could test out new army wide schemes without putting paint to a brush. On top of that, they added a few other “set” schemes, like the new “Deathwatch” scheme, in multi-player mode. Relic added extra units for each race so you can see your color scheme on the different units, not just the Hero units. In other words, you can tailor your army and your squads to your personal play style which is great for replay value. You can also choose to upgrade, unlock different squads or give your heroes better gear in the form of mission rewards. The different Heroes will level up unlocking different abilities after every mission. You can now choose which race will save/devour/loot (or all of the above) the Sub Sector of the galaxy. If your main complaint from the last game and expansion was that you didn’t get to play as a Xenos race in the main campaign, your Internet rage prayers have been answered.
Honor Guard units (or Honour if you’re into extra vowels)
Six playable races – Space Marines, Imperial Guard, Eldar, Ork, Chaos, Tyranidsĭifferent skill trees, Abilities for each race and “Hero” So with that in mind, let’s take a look at the game! I had a pretty good time and I plan on going back! The reason is that the Blood Ravens are the focal point of this story, and completing the game through their “eyes” would give me the best feel for the main plot.Ĥ) I put close to 20+ hours into the game. My other plan was to quit my full time job and just play the game…but then I couldn’t pay rent next month so I decided against that.ģ) I only completed one campaign all the way through–the Space Marine version. This was the the only feasible way I was going to get through as much of the game as possible to give you a fair review. So…Ģ) I started a campaign for every race on easy. Within that time frame, I wanted to gobble up as much content as possible. Also, in the interest of full disclosure I want to mention a few things as well:ġ) I had about four days to complete this review. I want to start off by saying I’m not looking to review the game as a professional game reviewer, but as a fan of tabletop gaming and a fan of the the video game series.
