From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
er, Soulstorm is the most balanced version of DoW yet (which amittedly isn't saying a lot); the things people are unhappy about are the bugs and Relic's response, or lack thereof...
==Storyline==
The planets of the [[Kaurava]] system are colonized [[Imperial]] worlds. A [[warp storm]] envelops the system, however, drawing the force forces of [[Chaos]] to the worlds ripe for slaughter. On one of the planets, Necrons begin to awaken, drawing their ancient enemies to them, the [[Eldar]]. The [[252nd Kauravan Conservators]], an [[Imperial Guard]] [[regiment]] assigned to defend the system, is hard-pressed by the arrival of these enemies, as well as a [[Dark Eldar]] incursion.
Along with these armies, comes come the [[Blood Ravens]] [[Space MarineMarines]] chapter, pursuing the lost knowledge of their chapter. The [[Fervent HeartSacred Rose]] [[Sisters of Battle]] arrive as well, to cleanse the system of heresy and xenos. [[Gorgutz]], an Ork Warboss, arrives in the Kaurava system, adding the local [[Orks]] of Kaurava III II to his [[Waaagh!]] and determined to kill for the sake of killing.
==AIRCRAFTAir Units==
There was also the addition of 'flying' air units. These units did not actually fly, but hovered a certain distance off the ground, giving the aircraft granting them the ability to pass over impassable terrainand immunity from melee attacks. Most were ineffective against infantry, but were Air units serve a variety of purposes - some are designed for aerial combat and light anti-vehicle usesinfantry roles, while others were designed for bombing. The flying craft were not attackable by melee, so players who used melee tactics found themselves almost unable are configured to deal with a player who relied on themtake out vehicles or enemy aircraft. The aircraft air units added are;:
* [[Space Marines]]: [[Land Speeder Tempest]]
* [[Sisters of Battle]]: [[Lightning]]
'''Note:''' The [[Necrons]] did not receive a new air unit like the other races, ; instead they were enabled are now able to use summon a manifestation of one of the C'tan gods, the [[Deceiver]], and the Attack Scarabs were converted into a melee anti-air unit.
===Reception===
Many players are unhappy with the latest expansion. As the company that created it was Iron Lore, instead due to a large number of bugs and general lack of Relicpolish, something which is particularly evident in the overall quality of the campaign. A game was reduced. Voice-acting was badly done breaking resource exploit for the new units, said units were either horribly unbalanced, pointless, redundantSisters of Battle was discovered shortly after release, and there has been extremely little word from Relic or useless, and AI was sketchy at best.THQ on the supposed hotfix
