This game is all over the RTS world atm, great game IMO, very cinematic, watching replays in it can be great fun too, as you really get to go up close and enjoy the beuty of the game up close like its meant to be. Only flaw really is the campaign is rather short, and you only get to play Space Marines in it.

Great game.
I wasn't even an RTS fan, just kinda stumbled across this.
The campaign is fun.
Multiplayer is even better.
You'll usually find some boards people about willing to have a game.

Finished it this morning on Normal.

Bloody good stuff, though I'm running it on a poor machine so I didn't get to see the "proper" spanky graphics.

Was hoping for more than just 12 missions too....
The ending leaves it well open for an expansion pack, and yes I know they've been planning one for some time, I just didn't think they'd be so blatently obvious about it.

How do you create custom banners?
Aside from plonking files into a directory, what format, res, color depth must they be in?

Relic appear to be rather slow releasing the mod tools. All the budding modders can do for now is design models and talk about stats.

Imperial Guard are definately on the list, and I spent a long time looking at the mod forum for a Tyranid expansion, drooling at polygonised Hive Tyrants and Genestealers.

I didnt get into it
I tried so hard to like it but i couldnt, its a personal opinion of style on my behalf...

But there are ome nice features like squads and squad upgrades, resource collecting is akin to Z steel soldiers which is a great plus...
