I own a copy of Soulstorm, registered to Steam (haven't played it, mind).
Downloading the DoW2 beta atm.
Who's laughing now?!? :mad:

It's been well publicised that the game only ships with 4 playable races - Space Marines, Eldar, Orcs and 'nids. More will likely be added with eventual expansions, like they were with DoW1.

You're right. I'm not laughing anymore.
icemann: Of course they won't, how could they release four expansion packs otherwise?

They actually cut Chaos? That's odd. Space Marines and Chaos are the two most popular races in the TT game, I would have expected them to be featured in DoW2.
Well, now that there are Tyranids I may be able to start on a Space Hulk mod.

Do you mean none right now, none coming with the game, or none ever?
If it's the first two, I can wait. I didn't expect to start very soon.
If they're not going to release mod tools... Well, that seems like an uncharacteristic thing for Relic to do, given that most of their other games have a very strong modding community.

None right now, and no plans to release them in the future (though that might change if the fan outcry gets loud enough). It's uncharacteristic, but Essence is also one of the most unfriendly engines to mod ever.

Any mods will likely be completely unavailable for online play, because DoW2 uses GfW Live.

Yea I spotted that in the readme, which is quite a shame. I've been trying to avoid that crap for a while.
