Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War delivers a level of visual detail never before seen in an RTS. Hundreds of units clash on the battlefields of the dark future, unleashing massive destruction through a stunning battery of long-range weaponry before closing in for the finish. Incredible kill animations bring science fiction combat to life like never before, and the gritty future-gothic Warhammer 40,000 setting provides a striking tableau for the chaos and carnage of this grim, dark future, where there is only war!

Blackstone Race

A variety of Pseudo-Mechanical Constructs similar to those found within the depths of the Blackstone fortress at Precipice; This variety, seemingly spawned by a warp fuelled mechanism beneath the surface of the planet Tartarus, appears to have been be slightly more aggressive, their motives are unknown and their numbers are rapidly growing, there is but one saving grace; that by the Emperor's mercy the Aeldari who awakened them were unable to control them and have suffered the brunt of the initial casualties.


Drone Command Units:

Guardian Drone

Commander, equipped with a range of weapons, very powerful, can produce "Hover Drones" to protect itself from combat damage. Appears to join the battlefield from the vicinity of Web-way gates.[in 'assassinate' the player starts with a damaged-Guardian-Drone instead)

9CB10B6B CE92 4F6C 8165 93934113264F9CB10B6B CE92 4F6C 8165 93934113264F826F733D 55CD 4019 AFD7 C3AD76F68AB89CB10B6B CE92 4F6C 8165 93934113264F9CB10B6B CE92 4F6C 8165 93934113264F



Hover Drones:

Small drones that become a problem in large numbers, there appear to be a variety of Hover Drones in use

Hover Drone (Protector)

The version Produced by the Guardian Drone to defend itself, bulkier than the others and seemingly unwilling to act independently from the Guardian it protects, appears to be fashioned from the more basic Hover Drone types, perhaps represents an intermediary stage in whatever assembly process creates it's more vicious Spindle-Drone counterparts.

54ECF798 07F5 4428 93D6 25948B9D6348



Lite Hover Drone Swarm

Frequently encountered capturing areas of strategic importance, these swarms seem to be made up of smaller sub-swarms of around 4 Drones each, the drones in each sub-swarm appear to discharge some form of conducted energy weapon between their bodies dealing damage to their target at close range. [a very large swarm can be surprisingly dangerous, thankfully they're vulnerable to massed ranged firepower.]

83E7F90A 1331 49B5 8984 0B0D6B1F57B3



Hover Drone Scout

A single drone resembling the ones found in a swarm, these independent drones lack apparent combat capabilities, though they seem able to act as spotters for other drones, they appear able to secure objectives, though they lack the means to capture one already held by an opponent.

14BE388D 2045 4DA8 9BC1 0F029BA35C97



Drone Infantry:

Spindle Drones

Normally found emerging from the race's 'Webway Gates', drone's briefly become stronger each time another Spindle Drone is slain, have both ranged and melee combat capabilities and are capable of capturing objectives.

F3841B4B A5FB 4550 9BF0 96055CAA88CB



Drone Architect

Appears to be mainly tasked with building and maintaining structures, but also serves as a shock troop, it disgorges a tiny ball of red light that abruptly releases a lethal electrical discharge into it's vicinity, it is also capable of teleportation; caution is advised when engaging large numbers of this construct in battle.

Can enter a state that allows it heal itself and reduce incoming damage at the expense of reducing it's movement-speed and building-speed.

C7BA319C 9FBF 400E B1A6 55E7F4CDF4F4


Drone Support vehicles:

"Trudger Drone"

The first of the accursed drone constructs encountered on the battlefields of the planet Tartarus; in some ways more closely resembles an Aeldari wraith-lord and is likely the direct result of their tampering with part of the suspected "drone-forge" beneath the planets surface. It now serves as a standard walker unit, has 3 ranged weapons, each emitting one of two distinct types of warp-based projectile, at times the device's weapons can appear somewhat inaccurate. [note: sometimes a drone swarm seems to emerge from this entity, it likely harbours some degree of transport capability], is also capable of stamping on enemy troops who engage it in melee combat.

There has been a mod #1 for some time now that enables you to play the campaign of the main game and its add-on Winter Assault in Soulstorm. But is there also a mod that enables you to play the Dark Crusade campaign in Soulstorm? This would greatly increase / improve the selection and up-to-dateness of the mods with which you can play this campaign.

I have a question, will you add more variation of the rules of the game by the type of Commander Reinforcement, where only commanders get more hp and morale? And how to develop for the race 13 company HQ?

Im looking for a mod that is like FoK but has a campaign, any ideas? I don't care if it has titans, extra superheavies or new races, but I want 10 man space marine squads, lore-friendly things, that kinda stuff.

Maybe try Advanced Campaign? It isn't a straight adaption of tabletop (it uses 5-man marine squads rather than 10-man, for instance), but it does feel very lore-friendly.

tbh 10-man space marine squads arent lore-friendly lol, mods with 4-5 marines are more lore-friendly
