THQ have released a demo for Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War: Soulstorm, the third expansion to Relic Entertainments acclaimed sci-fi RTS.

This time around, The Dark Eldar and The Sisters of Battle join the fight. You can download the (rather large 1.2GB) sampler, right here from the Ausgamers files library.

Sounds interesting, but seeing as they never bothered patching all the bugs out of dark crusade I can't be bothered with it. I'm sure it'll be full of balance problems that relic chooses to ignore (or has no budget allocated to fix, perhaps.)

Much angst Icewyrm?!

My son is rediscovering this stuff and he's loving it...

Nah, I played through the dc single player (as well as the DoW and WA missions) and they were great, but I prefer a balanced multiplayer experience. I should probably look into it actually, maybe the soulstorm campaign is worth a go?

+1 No Tyranids whine.

Oh come on... teleporting super weapons and teleporting/regenerating heavy armoured warriors isn't unbalancing at all. *cough*

I'd be happy if they just got over "kill everyone bitches" as an objective. It's probably the thing that diverges the most from 40K. You could probably count the number of games that have resulted in the total wipeout of one side (discounting collusion between the combatants to make it happen) on one hand of a quadruple amputee.

Will definately get soulstorm for the single player though.
