Advanced alien technology claims millions of lives in mere moments. Devious enemies lure us into traps and snares.
Our defenders die by the billions in endless wars of attrition. Savage and bloodthirsty aliens ravage our worlds. Where once we fought to conquer, now we fight simply to survive.

Dawn of War II was released in North America on Februand in Europe on February 20, 2009. It is the sequel to the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War video game series.

I'll try and lob in some hands-on thoughts if and when this accursedly slow 1.1GB download finally finishes crawling down its tiny tube, but in the meantime you can grab it from here.

This is quite an old trailer, but gives a sense of what Ultimate Apocalypse is going for: The mod's been around for several years, and is popular enough to even have its own mods. Singleplayer is further down the line, theoretically, in case that's your main interest. This is all multiplayer and skirmish stuff, mind. I guess the original Dawn of War remains the go-to RTS if you want a maximalist adaptation of 40K. This means there's support for 11 different armies. The 1.8 'grand release' of Ultimate Apocalypse, which came out on Sunday, is referred to as The Hunt Begins and adds two new factions and an overhauled skirmish mode, and focuses on mod-made factions Inquisition versus Chaos Daemons. Maybe that's just as well - the word 'epic' just makes me think of insurance adverts now. That is Epic, or Apocalypse as Games Workshop now call it. But I am going to point at it and say 'look! Look! Wouldn't it be amazing if this was as good as it sounded?' Unfortunately I've had more luck trying to elicit empathy in cats than I have trying to download 'grand release' of Ultimate Apocalypse at a sensible speed, so can't tell you much for at least another three hours. Epic was my first Games Workshop game, and because the first things we're exposed to are always the ones we believe to be the best, its grand-scale, massed army, enormous Titan-centric battles remain the only way I think 40K should be played. I would love to froth at you about the new release of an ultromod for the original Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm, which transforms it into a simalcrum of Epic / Apocalypse 40K.
