As a former Warhammer and Warhammer 40k tabletop player, I was really looking forward to this game. When I saw that Relic (the makers of Homeworld) was the developer, I knew it couldn't miss. It's kind of odd playing Warhammer in real time, but it's a fantastic game. The units and atmosphere are totally faithful to the tabletop game. There's an army that matches every play style too.

So is anyone else here playing it? I'd love to have a little online competition, whether it be co-op against the CPU or deathmatch. I usually play Space Marines, but I can put together a pretty mean Orky mob if necessary. OFFICIAL SITE

I played this game against my best friend this week-end, really interesting like warcraft, only fight are faster, better, and more tactical finally !

My favorite race is the Eldar, i have customised them in white, really look like a ninja now !

I really enjoyed this game, more fun than warcraft ! Everyone need to play this game :)

I wouldnt be interested in buying this one, but my friend had 2 Warhammer games on PSOne that were really good, the first one particularly.

Get online with this guys, I need human opponents. The A.I. is so predictable.

A couple Warhammer fans (friends) bought this and really like it alot. Very little micromanagement compared to Whorecrap.

Also if you liked Total Anhilliation you will like Warhammer DoW.

The single player is way too easy, and the AI isn't great. and WTF is up with the marine scouts infiltrate ability?? That said, its a solid RTS, and is very true to the background of 40k. Set up very nicely for a sequel too... I'd like to see an expansion pack or two for the other races. I would be playing it online if my network provider wasn't a huge steaming pile of horse shit.

Crap! I didn't even know this was released yet! Looks like I'm going to Walmart at 1:00 am.
