Scout Brother cheese infiltrate for us even when he is deep strike in mission 
Good rumour indeed

It will take some time before they do so....

with the upcoming  races addon. they are 9 races in total. so you can roughly guess how balance it is already.

DC is one hell of imbalance game, but still the huge team game is fun to play.

Titan Quest developer Iron Lore, just finished Dawn of War: Soulstorm, announced that as of last week it has ceased active game development. Several unrelated events resulted in Iron Lore being unable to secure funding for its next project.

Where's Tyrannids??????????????????????    

Just would like to ask does anyone know what's the release that of Warhammer 40k: Soulstorm?

Really like to try the new single player campaign, I like the chess concept with a slightly more detail story line unlike Dark Crusade instead like its Dawn of War one.

Cheers
