Dawn of War is a revolutionary science fiction real-time strategy (RTS) game set in the violent, post-apocalyptic universe of the 41st Millennium. Utilizing the exceptional game design skills of Relic Entertainment, Dawn of War provides an immersive entertainment experience of epic proportions. Command hardened troops, deadly vehicles and high tech weaponry with one goal in mind, the complete extermination of the opposition.
Whether you lead Humanity's finest - the Space Marines, the diabolic and villainous traitors of man - the Chaos Space Marines, the brutal and savage beasts - the Orks, or the psychic and technologically advanced alien warriors - the Eldar, you control the action and the fate of your race!
Dawn of War: Winter Assault is the expansion pack to the award winning Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War that builds upon the most exciting, visceral, front-line battlefield ever seen in an RTS game.
Lost amongst the ruins of a leveled city lies an Emperor Class Titan, a war vessel of untold power forged in the planet-wide furnaces of Mars, and revered by billions as the epitome of Imperial dominance. The one who controls it will command the power to destroy, or defend, a world. The Imperials will summon it to overcome great evil, Chaos will corrupt it for their own designs, Orks will destroy it in their bloodlust and Eldar will disregard it in their arrogance.
Dawn of War: Dark Crusade features two new playable races, the Tau Empire and the Necrons, bringing the number of totally unique races to an unprecedented seven. In addition to the two new playable races, Dark Crusade will feature an all-new single player campaign centering on the conquest of a "meta-map," with each territory captured giving tangible rewards to the occupying force. A greatly expanded multiplayer component and a completely unique economy model for the Necrons will present gamers with the most compelling Dawn of War game to-date.
One player will be going home £50 richer, just for playing in this event. The prize will be awarded by use of the lotto system, players will get 1 ticket for just taking part and more will be earned for every map won, which will give you a better chance at the £50 jackpot. At the end of the night all participating players scores from both sessions and their previous scores from the season are collected and converted into tickets, the League Admins will then pick out the lucky winner who will go home £50 richer.
Joining in the action is simple, just pop in to your local IGUK gaming centre and ask the local games manager to add you to the player list for today's event in either the 16:30 session, 19:00 session or both. At 16:15 (16:30 Session) and/or 18:45 (19:00 Session) you'll be allocated to play against an opponent over the two maps for that week, all you've got to do is play your opponent and try and win both maps in the timeslots you have chosen. Remember to save both replays & take score screenshots for each map in case an admin requires one for results verification.
In addition to one player nationwide winning the £50 cash lotto, IGUK are now introducing a prize opportunity in every gaming centre each night!* Every player taking part in the FFA Lotto will receive an IGUK Scratch Card from their centre manager, remove the coating and if you match 3 symbols you will win a free gaming pass for your centre! Now every centre could have a winner!
Will your name be shown here next week as the £50 winner? It won't if you're at home! Get down to your local IGUK gaming centre now to take part! Ensure you are familiar with the Dawn of War: Dark Crusade FFA Rules before doing so, all game settings etc. can be found there. There is also a Dawn of War Technical Assistance Forum link (for router & firewall problems etc.), which can be found in the More Dawn of War Information tab in the Link List below.

"In the 41st Millennium MANKIND has spread its race and glory to over a million worlds throughout the far reaches of the Galaxy. But Humanity's expansion, in fact, its very existence, has not gone unchallenged. The ENEMIES OF MAN, including the savage and bloodthirsty ORKS, the traitorous FORCES of CHAOS, and the mysterious and powerful ELDAR, wage constant war against the descendants of Earth, seeking to destroy them. The lives of untold billions of people, indeed the very survival of Humanity itself, depend upon the protection of the Master of Mankind, the EMPEROR OF MAN, and the Emperor's loyal, genetically-perfected and lethal warriors, the SPACE MARINES." “It was ten thousand years ago that the EMPEROR ascended to the GOLDEN THRONE of EARTH. Although human, the Emperor was supremely gifted with extraordinary psychic abilities and he used his unmatched power to unite the countless billions of people living on over one million planets, creating THE IMPERIUM. Today the Imperium continues to be ruled by the iron will of the Emperor, whose living carcass is entombed in the strange life-giving machinery of the Golden Throne." "The Undying Master of Mankind, the Emperor, is no longer merely a man, He has become a GOD, worshipped by billions throughout the Galaxy. As Man's enemies rain endless death and destruction upon Humanity's doomed planets, the people of the Imperium pray to the Emperor, begging for His protection. Their desperate prayers are answered by the IMPERIAL GUARD, the Emperor's loyal soldiers who are the backbone of Mankind's military, and by the Emperor's elite warriors, the fierce and unrelentingly heroic SPACE MARINES. Together the Imperial Guard and the Space Marines represent Humanity's last, best hope for salvation from their relentless enemies." |
 |
 |
"Though Man's enemies are legion, the most widespread and constant threat comes from the ORKS, a sadistic and barbaric alien race whose passion for violence knows no bounds. Orks are in a permanent state of war. They live only for the joy of battle and wreaking as much carnage and bloodshed as possible. Although the Space Marines and the Imperial Guard save numerous planets from being overrun by Orks, these victories come at an extremely high cost with devastating military and civilian casualties." | |
 |
"In contrast to the Orks' straightforward and mindless brutality, the FORCES OF CHAOS are a far more insidious threat to the battle-weary citizens of the Imperium. Ten thousand years ago, when the Emperor first rose to power, the gods of Chaos sent psychic whispers into the hearts and minds of the Space Marines, promising immortality and limitless power. Many traitors succumbed to the influence of Chaos; indeed, in an apocalyptic civil war known as the HORUS HERESY, fully half of the Space Marines renounced their vows to the Emperor and forswore their allegiance to their Space Marine brethren. After bitter losses on both sides, the Emperor ultimately crushed the rebellion through an act of supreme sacrifice. The surviving heretical Space Marines remain unrepentant and continue to follow the Chaos gods, waging endless war on the people of the Imperium and raging ceaselessly against the Emperor's righteous reign." | |
 |
"Beyond the death and destruction caused by the Orks and the Forces of Chaos there are still more threats against Humanity. For, beyond the bloodthirsty aliens, unknown demons and unrepentant heretics there exists yet another enemy, the remnants of an ancient and potent race, the ELDAR."
"At the core of the awesome Eldar army are the ASPECT WARRIORS, swift and powerful fighters whose deadly skills have been honed to perfection. Using their unparalleled psychic powers and advanced technologies, the Eldar are actually fighting to save the Galaxy, but they are willing to destroy the entire human race in the process." |

The Races >>
The Imperial Guard:
With over a billion soldiers at its disposal, the Imperial Guard is the largest and most diverse single military body in the galaxy. It is without question the Imperium survives because of these valiant men and women who serve the Emperor without fail. They are the first line of defense and often, the last as well. There are no personal victories in the Imperial Guard. They live and die by the thousands each day, but they get the job done!
The Space Marines:
Created by the Emperor and forged in the fiery furnace of war, the SPACE MARINES are warrior monks devoted to serving their creator and honour-bound to their sacred duty. Though relatively few in number, the Space Marines fight with fury at the front lines of Humanity's bloody struggle for survival against the vicious, never-ending onslaught of attacks from Mankind's enemies.
Forces of Chaos:
Born in a bloodbath of betrayal, the Chaos Space Marines are the darkest of villains. Although they were once proud members of the Imperium’s great and honourable Space Marine, these traitors fell willingly under the sway of the diabolic CHAOS GODS, the infernal entities who gnaw at the edges of reality, greedily devouring the souls of the damned.
The Orks:
Bloodthirsty and vicious, the ORKS are ferocious berserkers who occupy more of the Galaxy than any other race. If they were unified in their villainy, the Orks would soon crush all opposition. Fortunately for Humanity, these warring degenerates are just as likely to attack one another, as they are to invade an Imperial planet.
The Eldar:
An incredibly ancient race with unrivalled psychic powers, THE ELDAR once ruled a vast empire. Although the time of their absolute supremacy has passed, they remain a strong and powerful force that must be reckoned with.
