(mini-review).

An attractive, efficient, faithful recreation of Warhammer 40,000 tabletop. Character models are suitably chunky and detailed. Textures and environments look good. Voices are extremely competent and similar to Dawn of War-fare. Combat is varied and the choice of campaign or skirmish is welcome. Still, I can't help lament at the poor animations and minimal effects. With just a slightly higher level of polish, the game could be a truly memorable winner. Additionally, with only four factions, the game feels far more rote and empty than it should be.

A great title for Warhammer 40,000 strategy fans but it could have been so very much more.

Worth a look.

7/10.
