'''''Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm''''' is the third expansion of the RTS ''[[Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War]]'' and was launched in 2008. Whereas the campaign of ''[[Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade|Dark Crusade]]'' was conquering a single planet, Soulstorm's campaign is the conquest of several planets and moons, basically a single star system, [[Kaurava]]. While there were four planets and three moons to capture, the total number of sectors to actually take was not much greater than that of ''Dark Crusade'', where a sector took up about the size of a country, in ''Soulstorm'' they're about the same size as continents. ''Soulstorm'' also introduced the [[Sisters of Battle]] and [[Dark Eldar]] as playable factions. ==Storyline=={{Video game
There was also the addition of air units. These units did not actually fly, but hovered a certain distance off the ground, granting them the ability to pass over impassable terrain and immunity from [[close combat|melee]] attacks. Air units serve a variety of purposes - some are designed for anti-infantry roles, while others are configured to take out vehicles or enemy aircraft.

===Reception===
Many players are unhappy with the latest expansion due to a large number of bugs and general lack of polish, something which is especially evident in the campaign. In particular, a game-breaking resource exploit existed for the Sisters of Battle, and the promised hotfix to address this and other issues was released on the 21st of October 2008.
