Dawn of War Soulstorm announced

THE THIRD AND FINAL EXPANSION IN THE DAWN OF WAR SERIES

Two new races have been added, bringing the total number to 9. The Soulstorm campaign spans an entire star system, and new additions to the game include flying units and unlockable multiplayer medals.

Among the new playable races, the Dark Eldar are vicious pirates who take pleasure in capturing, torturing and killing their enemies. The Dark Eldar specialize in extracting the souls of their enemies to retain their power and youth, and they utilize “soul essence” to fuel special high-powered abilities.

The Kaurava star system, home to four distinct planets, is at the mercy of a Warp Storm that has attracted the many clashing Dawn of War factions, but for very different reasons. Some seek to use the storm for their own purposes, some fear the presence of Chaos corruption, and others are simply curious. The Warp Storm interferes with starship navigation systems, so once the armies arrive they are effectively trapped in Kaurava until a victor emerges or the storm subsides.

Soulstorm is a stand-alone expansion like Dark Crusade, which means that players will have access to all 9 races out of the box in the single-player campaign. Online players will be able to play with the 2 new races, but will also have access to whatever Dawn of War content they may have previously purchased.

Planned release is in Spring 2008.

CHILDREN OF KADESH
By Norsehound

In the beginning, the people sinned.
A great evil descended from the sky on to our paradise, bringing with them flame and death as they openly roamed the streets and causeways of our paradise. They killed many, spared few, and showed no mercy for those fortunate enough by Sajuuk to survive.

With our cities ruined and our cause lost, we were condemned from paradise by the great enemy. Some say we offended the great maker, he who shapes what is, Sajuuk, and that these messengers of God were sent to punish us. Others think it was the great tormentor, Khelan-Jaat, and his minions that drove us, Sajuuk’s great work, from Paradise. Whatever the case, our punishment was expulsion from Paradise…
