I only played the Beta, but god what an incredible fucking game. I tell you its worth $50 just for the multiplayer aspect. I, too, am a WH 40k fan and I am saddened by the lack of variety in the races. They did choose the "Core" races for initial release though. And yes, Relic has a tendency to release free expansions, but I feel like its more likely we'd get an affordable one, say $20 for this game (maybe I'll get my Tau). There is a lot of good work that went into the tweaking of combat for this game. It feels a lot like Unreal Tournament. Its got a Single Player mode, but thats not the focus. This game is about bragging rights. You must play it Multiplayer to get the full effect. And that effect is fucking nuts. The first time you drop a really big unit, The Eldar Avatar or the Chaos Demon, you just have to grin. Way fun. I am only waiting on my favorite opponent to pick up a copy then I have to purchase it as well.
For Starcraft fans, this feels like the sequel that has been sorely lacking all these years.
