Dark EmpireFor those unfamiliar with Warhammer 40,000 or had better things to do between the ages of 11 and 16 (like getting laid, for instance), the setting is not unlike how you'd imagine Middle-earth to be, were it transposed to the 41st century: Human, Orks (different spelling), Squats (dwarves), Eldar (elves) and even furry-toed Hobbitlike creatures all vie for power across a vast universe ruled over by an omnipresent ancient Emperor.There is no place in the 40,000 universe for Star Trek's sentimental correctness, or Star Wars' black and white morality, Warhammer 40,000 is end-to-end violence with everything from assassination to genocide occurring in every corner, whether at the hand of the despotic Imperium, or by way of Chaos incursion. Relic, after years of indifference on the part of lesser developers, may finally do justice to what is one of the most uniquely stylish science-fiction realms ever conceived.

Would we be sending Marines to the clump of nearby eaf to collect fruit or chop wood?No, no, no, no, no! says Wilson emphatically. Here We Go Gathering.As soon as Dawn Of War was announced, there was a certain amount of alarm as to how Relic was going to handle the RTS resource management. Two other races are also being lined up for the game, both under wraps, although still being in possession of a few Craftworid warriors from my paint 'em up days, I'm hoping one will be the mystical and aloof Eldar.
