And I can't believe I hadn't gotten this game when I was younger, it looks badass cause I've been looking for a futuristic style RTS other than Starcraft and Empire Earth for a while now.

Any suggestions/help as to getting started with it?

I'm guessing you're talking about DoW...There's plenty of W40K games out there.

And of course you had the game before...That's why you're torrenting a backup since your old CD's don't work right?

I've heard the single player campaign was sort of lackluster, so maybe start off with just playing maps against the AI.

Of course thats the reason.

Oh and I wasn't even aware theres been more than one, I thought it was Warhammer 40k and the 2 expansions.

Just from Wiki in no specific order...

And in the DoW series there's 3 add-ons

<3 40K...They need to hurry up and make a 40K MMO that I can waste my life and money on.
