Deep under the central desert of Kronus, a vast honeycomb of skull-lined tunnels and funeral chambers house the awakening Necron menace. Eons ago, these were the boulevards and squares of a great necropolis built to house the bones of the races who had fallen to the Necrons, and ultimately were where the Necrons themselves retire to spend eternity. Over millions of years, sand and rock had covered it all until ill-fated excavations awoke the deathless.

In the grim darkness of the far future..
..there is only war! If you enjoy the RTS genre, then this collection is a must-have, whether you're mostly interested in the single player or multiplayer experience. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War is very good on its own, but it becomes excellent with Winter Assault and great with Dark Crusade. Soulstorm is the best for multiplayer, while the campaign remains fun despite the diminished quality of the narrative (different developer). The original devs at Relic perfectly captured the spirit of the Warhammer 40K franchise, making this a no-brainer for fans of the setting as well. Still looks and sounds great! Back in the day this take on the RTS formula was semi-innovative: base building is still integral but there's an emphasis on the tactical dimension - while power is gathered by building generators, the requisition resource rate needs to be increased by capturing and controlling certain "strategic points" on the battlefield using infantry squads and essentially battles are won or lost based on the players' ability to manage map control. Combined with the violent aesthetics, this design leads to some pretty intense savagery and constant conflict. Reinforcing and arming squads remains the same through many of the unit types, but the way you use them is completely different. Initially there were 4 factions: the Blood Ravens' Space Marines (versatile and stars of the original campaign), the Orks (Zerg swarm mentality), the Eldar (fast and fragile and complicated to play) and the Chaos Alpha Legion (dark side of the Space Marines). Then came the Imperial Guard (specialized in defense), followed by the game-changing Necrons (power is the only resource needed to make Necron units which can often resurrect, gotta love the Monolith), the Tau Empire (only one with a 'permanent choice' for the last part of the tech tree), and finally the Dark Eldar and the Sisters of Battle (both rely on a third resource to unleash their special abilities). Generous content fully recommended!

Instant buy
This is an instant buy. For this price didn't expected to come to GOG so, of course i'll buy it. Dawn of War is that old RTS with different approach than AoE for example, with a brutal lore and good gameplay.

Version can't use MOD's
I bought this game - and its a great game - one of the best strategy games ever created. This GOG version cant be modded though, and that is what you want to do when you have completed the vanilla editions - because this game might be great on its own - but its nothing compared to all the different MODs created for it. Im glad that i bought it on sale - because GOG version is not worth the full price.

A masterpiece
If you don't care about multiplayer and you're just looking for a solid strategy game, go for this one without even thinking about it. Space Marines and the Warhammer 40000 world can only get the love they deserve, and this game even if it's years old, it still has a good graphic and it's technically valid. The first game has a very good campaign, making you play against the other three races that are orks, eldar and chaos marines; this campaign also has a decent plot, with good characters and dialogues. The first expansion is a bit weaker to me, since you have to play with the imperial guard, eldar, orks and chaos space marines, I understand that they tried to make something different but the missing of the space marines is too big in my opinion. The other two expansions are without about any plot, it's just a conquest game with a little movies and dialogues only during the fight against the main base of the enemy races. Here you can see other races like necrons, tau, battle sisters and dark eldars. These last two expansions are fun to play also to try different races, and different from other games, here all the races have strong differences from each other, basically making you play a new game every time you try to play it with a new race.
