Now that would seem like a decent selection to your average gamer. DoW has chosen, arguably, the most popular races from the 40k universe in the form of Space Marines, Chaos, Eldar and the Orks. This is especially true for real time strategy games when you have a selection of factions, or countries or whatever to choose from. The problem with the 40k universe is that it’s so large and you’re never going to please everyone. Much like Knights of the Old Republic proved that you can have truly excellent Star Wars games, DoW does the same for 40k games. Sure, Fire Warrior wasn’t too bad, and Space Hulk a few years back was ok, but considering what a huge universe the games draw on for inspiration, you’d expect better. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War, known throughout the online community as DoW, is perhaps the only decent game based on the huge Warhammer 40,000 universe.
