I only hope the missions don’t turn out to be too generic so that the faction you play with feels irrelevant to the storyline. It’s impressive to think Relic are making a campaign for all 6 factions and suggesting it will have as many missions as Chaos Rising featured for Space Marines alone. That seems to leave Chaos as the remaining existing faction to be revealed and one other faction to be included in the expansion…possibly Inquisition forces. Now we have seen Orks, Eldar, Tyranids and Space Marines. Chaos Rising','Warhammer 40','000 Dawn of War 2: Chaos Rising' Less. In Winter Assault, the first expansion to Dawn of War they featured Ultramarines in a couple of Imperial Guard missions and it was refreshing just by virtue of being different. Rooting out a demonic Chaos uprising and unmasking a traitor among your ranks is the goal for your team of elite Space Marines. I get that the Blood Ravens are Relics own invented Chapter Games Workshop helped to flesh out but there are a 1000 Space Marine Chapters and occasionally it would be nice to just see some different colours in the single player campaign. He has brought with him a host of traitors and renegades so vast they have set the planet ablaze with the fires of anarchy and misrule. Have to say every new expansion to Dawn of War 1 & 2 has been great so far but I get a bit tired of the same chapter of Space Marines being featured. The planet of Vigilus is under siege, the Warmaster of Chaos, Abaddon the Despoiler, has led his Black Legion to conquer the planet. It still takes on the role of tank transport but with DoW2 reinforcement mechanics it also serves as a mobile reinforcement point which will no doubt prove very useful in games. Finally a new hero emerges known only as the “Ancient” a Battle Standard Bearer of the chapter, a veteran given the honour and respect of carrying the chapters colours into battle…which makes me wonder if we will see the return of some backpack banners that were left out of Chaos Rising it seemed.Īlso Featured is the new Tier 3 Unit for Space Marines in Multiplayer the old favourite from Dawn of War 1, the Land Raider only this time its a Land Raider variant which seems to be fitted with flamer turrets instead of the traditional laser cannons. Also featured is the Techmarine Martellus which would have been the default “traitor” in Chaos Rising expansion if you tried to go the good route through the campaign. The familiar Scout leader Cyrus returns which I assume means fan favourite voice over artist “Steve Blum” will return to voice the character. This time featuring some of the characters from the first expansion “Chaos Rising” alongside a new hero aswell for the Space Marines.ĭiomedes the Captain from Chaos Rising who was tricked into supporting the Traitor Chapter Master of the Blood Ravens now leads his team to hunt down Chaos traitors and redeem his lost honour.
