For those who play Dawn of War, or fans of RTS games in general, I dug up an official trailer for Dawn of War 2 here.

Warning: Probably not safe for work. In the grand WH40k tradition, the trailer is heavy on the blood and gore.

Also, it looks like it's time to welcome the
Spoiler
to their first official appearance in Dawn of War. (For those not fluent in 40kese, "welcome" translates to "open fire with everything you have").

"The righteous need not cower before the drumbeat of human progress. Though the song of yesterday fades into the challenge of tomorrow, God still watches and judges us. Evil lurks in the datalinks as it lurked in the streets of yesterday, but it was never the streets that were evil." - Sister Miriam Godwinson, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

Ah, them. Set Flamers on burn in hell, please. I'm not quite sure about your spoiler warning though, as I can't think of any other significant group who didn't make it into DoW 1.

Nice trailer though, one game I'll be looking forward to.

Back from the brink.

Like RPGs? Like Star Wars? Think combining the two would be fun? Read Darths and Droids, and discover the line "Jar Jar, you're a genius".

These, in the day when heaven was falling,
The hour when earth's foundations fled,
Followed their mercenary calling
And took their wages and are dead.

I gotta admit I have always been interested more in the sword and magic fantasy type warhammer more then 40k but damn...that preview was quite sweet! If it gets good reviews ill be sure to check it out!

That's a fine looking trailer, even if it was just a cinematic with no gameplay shown. You think it could be the intro movie for DoW2? Like the blood ravens/Orc battle scene from the first game?
