I played this masterpiece back in 2006. This game understood Warhammer 40K perfectly. And because of that I was glued to the screen and cut off all distractions. What I still love is the gameplay. No endless base building, no boredom. You fight over the map, push forward, lose squads, and then push again. Every battle feels important, and every unit feels like it belongs on the battlefield. Is it old? Yes. Is it perfect? No. Is it still awesome? Absolutely. If you ever played RTS games in the 2000s, this will feel like coming home.

Great RTS, but we all know that, but what I want to know is how can there be a DAWN of war when war never stops in the 40th millennium. Should have been WAR of WAR. The real WOW!

I find this game helps me feel better when my life is in the crapper. from building a life out of scrap with the Orcs. to warping around with the Eldar. or chopping up chaos with the space marines

A nice RTS campaign you don't need to care a lot about resources and the pace was more my style. On other RTSs I had to slow down the game to be able to play, but this one was just right.

One of the best RTS games ever made. In my opinion, it holds up better than command & conquer and the story/setting is fantastic especially if you are a Warhammer 40k fan. My biggest fault of this would be the lack of units and buildings. The best 40k game still till this day.
