It's Warhammer Weekend over on Steam which means games like Space Marine, Dawn of War, Dawn of War II, and the obligatory expansions are 66% off. I'm not sure if that's enough of a discount to grab those of you who have been holding out for so long, but I hope so.
As a part of this promotion, Dawn of War II: Retribution's multiplayer is playable for free. Though I could never get into it on the same level as Last Stand mode or the campaigns, you can't argue with the price. Strongly consider leaving your comfort zone with one of these titles if they're all new to you.

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

Just bought Dead Island a couple days ago... Then Space Marine goes on sale? Fack. Me.
And it's just a Steam code, so there's no problems there. http://www.greenmangaming.com/ - However, I guess it's only for like 6 more hours.
I haven't played the first one. I guess there are differences, but I don't really know. The second is a very good game. However, Retribution is the latest release, and it has a fully functional multiplayer as well as a few campaigns. Unless you really are focused on singleplayer only and want to see the whole story or whatever, then you probably just need Retribution to experience "Dawn of War II."
However, I can't speak as to which DoW 1 to get or whether DoW2 is definitely superior to its predecessor.
"Just got Retribution on steam. Might as well get Space Marine. Think I might try green man gaming." - Since they're just giving you a Steam code, I don't think there is any downside. They're legit. They are generally known for their pre-order sales. I remember they had Dead Island for like 40 bucks before it came out.
buy it damn it!
Too multiplayer-focused, too little base building. Bring back mah Homeworld, lads!
A better middle ground would have been an option to do base building without moving your camera back to base; to que up squads and research and lay down buildings from afar, as an option.
Yet they also both offer something awesome
