It’s important to note that I probably should have been setting up my skype instead of painting virtual space marines, because communication in game, is a tricky business. So while Matt & Ken were setting up their recording setups, I was busy making the fiercest battalion in the space world, The Barrys… and Boy did the Barry’s deliver! More on that later though. That said within each faction is a quite a large selection of different battalions, which simply boil down to being a different colour variant, or if you want to recreate that tabletop experience, you can always make your own battalion and colours. Now it is important to note, this is a first impression, based on a few games of the MP that I have played as the Space Marine Faction.įaction-wise the game feels a bit light on, with only the Space Marines, Eldar & Orc factions being playable.

For those unfamiliar with the series, it is a real-time strategy game based in Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 universe. Last night a few members of the Player2 team got together to test out the multiplayer in Relic’s latest release, Dawn of War 3.
