Years ago, my brother dragged me into the local comic/hobby shop, Werehouse Comix (yes, a werewolf was the mascot), owned by my good friend Mark. He had been talking to some friends at school, and they were all about this new tabletop game called Warhammer 40k. So, we scrounged up some money from our work (we were both teenagers at the time), and bought the starter set just to see what all the fuss was about. The boxed set contained two starter forces- orks and space marines. He loved the oks, so I claimed the marines for myself (which was what I wanted anyway). We played a few games just to get the jist of the rules, but before we knew it, we were knee-deep in minatures, dice, and playing games in the garage. Eventually, he stopped playing altogether, but I kept going for a few years and really enjoyed the game.
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II
Game » consists of 6 releases. Released Feb 19, 2009
The sequel to Relic's critically-acclaimed Dawn of War does away with economizing and base building in favor of a more involved combat system with RPG elements.

I played the beta for a long time (got to lvl 30+ eldar and lvl 20+ tyranids) and I agree that it's a pretty good game. Although I've have to disagree on the single player being the best aspect, I personally prefer the multiplayer. It's much more lively than its predecessor and hopefully the audience will be far larger and wider.
