We won't blame you for forgetting about the new free content that hit Dawn of War II today -- in the hustle and bustle of all things GDC, it certainly slipped my mind.
An update went out today containing fixes and such, but more importantly, five additional units, nine more maps, and Free-for-All mode. As is usually the case, these files will be swiftly shot to your hard drive upon booting up Steam.
We had previously posted a nicely-made video from Relic that discussed this stuff, so consider this a reminder rather than "OLD!," if you would.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

CLEANSE, PURGE, KILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Game unlocks at Midnight EST, but I'll likely have to download it for hours afterwards with how Steam gets on a new release.
However, there is rumor that the update contained everything for Chaos Rising, so the unlock should be mighty quick.
You can play against Chaos bots without the expansion. however those greater unclean ones are impossible to kill, I swear.
