I play DoW (and dark crusade) all the time... well I used to, but my comp started to lag really bad when I would run it. I have yet to find the source of this lag. But I'm up for any discussion about Dow .
P.S. Chaos Marines are the best .

Dow has got to be one of the best games I have ever played. Really, it's the perfect combination between action and strategy.

Jsut got my Pcgamer magazine, Dow: Soulstorm announced
The expansion will feature two new races: The sisters of battle and The Dark Eldar who can use enemies souls as an extra resource.
Wow, I'm so lucky i didn't buy the Dow: anthology pack, now there will surely be an even bigger box with this new expansion too.

I belive DoW Dark crusade is the best RTS in the world. Superb factions, superb storyline and.... everything is too well done.

It's perfect, the only crappy thing is that first, Space Marines were overpowered, and with Dark Crusade they nerfed the marines but Necrons were stronger than anyone
But that aside, an awesome game.

As for the new aerial units, we have:

Space Marine Land Speeder Tempest

So you guys I'm thinking about buying it.
The only second gueses I have is that I may be a bit überviolent (not that I'm scared that it affects my or anything).I'm a Warhammer fan (espcially chaos) but I feel like one can overdo it a bit. If seen some videos on youtube and well a little less blood would also do I think. The finishing moves and are all are awesome I just want to know wheter the gameplay is worth accepting the fact that it is so überviolent.

I just installed the demo on Dark crusade and loved the game!!
I'm going to order the original game and the first expansion today.

If Soulstorm ony could come sooner, then I could have bought a box instead. I've heard that it will be released in about 3-6 months. That's too long, I demand this game!

Really? Then perhaps i read the date when it'll be released in Sweden.

I found the demo, too bad my internet sucks so hard, I can only wait for my next PC Gamer... But I'm sure it's worth the wait! 1 Gb demo!

I'm no warhammer genius, but on one of the warhammer sites, there are two other races involved. The witch-hunters and tyranids. Does this mean that there will be an additional expansion as well?

They are in mods as far as I know. I'm not sure if they are actual playable factions though.

I'd love to play those Tyranids. They look awesome.
I haven't played the full game yet but i think I'll be playing the Blood ravens (Space marines sounds awful) or the Tau once i get that expansion. Chainsaw swords is respect

@Azagal: The gameplay is totally worth it. The Warhammer universe however, is a dark and violent place so not having blood would be wrong.

This is the last expansion before Dawn of War 2.  They haven't implemented the Tyranids yet because Relic felt that the game engine would not be able to do the army justice.  

As to what armies are left, the Witch Hunters are represented in Soulstorm by the Sisters of Battle.  That leaves the Tyranids, Alien Hunters, Daemon Hunters, Imperial Navy, and The Lost and the Damned armies left.

As to the Space Marines and Tau, both are great armies to play with.  The Tau have superior ranged units but weak melee units.  Their default units, Fire Warriors, are amazingly effective in groups of 3 squads at range.  If anything gets close to them, they start dropping like flies.  As to the Space Marines, they are a very versatile race.  The only real glaring weakness they have in my eyes is their costs tend to be a little higher than other races, but it's worth it.
