"THQ Inc. and internal development studio Relic Entertainment today announced a second expansion pack to their award-winning real-time strategy hit Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War. The add-on will include all-new explosive Dawn of War single-player action, new multiplayer content and two new playable races including the technologically devastating Tau, bringing the total number of playable races in Dawn of War to an unprecedented seven.

"We're extremely proud of the world-wide critical acclaim that the million-unit-selling Dawn of War franchise has received to-date," said Ron Moravek, general manager, Relic Entertainment. "With this latest expansion, we've taken feedback from the players to create a powerful, action-orientated single- and multiplayer experience that is enriched by the quality and depth of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Dawn of War will be forever reforged for the Greater Good!"

Set in Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 universe, where armies of futuristic warriors, fighting machines and hordes of implacable aliens wage constant war, the game is expected to release in fall 2006."

Oh shoot... I don't even have the first one yet...

Fall 2006 means, if we're lucky we have it by christmas, if not, it'll be here sometime in early 2007. But I would probably order from overseas anyway...

Rainy you can get the first 2 on special for R199 all in. We probably wait about 2 weeks for new games so September/October would be my guess for this title in SA.

I already have the main game, don't want to buy it again...

YAY, this game rocks BISCUit cookies and jam too ...

i play (used to play) warhammer 40k, and i have built up a 5000 point space marine (black templars) army... but alas , i grew up (yeah yeah i know im still young) and social obligations parties women and drinking... got in the way of me playing alot

so i gave up and selved my army, but i still play DoW every so often to remind myself how fun teh game is :>

**doobiwan** · 31st January 2006

Awesome!!! Tau will Rock in DoW. I image the other army will be a "Bad guy" Army, I'm guessing Tyranids. We should have seen it coming seeing as GW just rereleased the Tau.

There's just no time to play everything. I've got 2000 points of fantasy orcs sitting in my cupboard basecoated and patiently awaiting a colour scheme.

Did you see the Black Templars just got a new Codex?

JUST, as in now now now ?

i am using the Armegedon Codex, as my guide lines, but i stoped playing/collecting about 3-4 years ago

Yeah, as in released about a month or two ago. It's a fully stand alone codex, doesn't require the SM codex apparently.
