Over at Relicnews (http://relicnews.com/archives/2009/09/in-2010-there-is-only-dawn-of-war-ii-expansion/), there's been some very odd packages being delivered to a few of the moderators. One moderator received one of these (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1300077&prodId=prod1090190) and the box had this on its back...

I'm a pretty big fan of Relic's Dawn of War series and am quite pumped with this 'viral' method of teasing at an expansion. While I will be kinda disappointed if it is only the Chaos which is brought in with the expansion, that would be quickly wiped if there were a campaign to be played from their perspective.
What would you like to see in a Dawn of War 2 expansion?

Well, they now have the Imperial Guard running in the game, since they're a few of the waves in "The Last Stand" so I can see them in an expansion. Chaos not being there in the beginning disappointed many fans (The questions about Chaos at the panel at PAX last year alone would probably steered them to add Chaos in as soon as possible, since that was pretty much all people were asking about) so I wouldn't be surprised to see a fan favorite added in the first expansion.
I'd like to see a new campaign to accompany the new army (or armies) added, if only to practice with that army without trying them out in multiplayer.

Yeah, new campaigns are really all I ask for. I was thinking they would release Eldar and Ork campaigns every few months or so.

I wouldn't know where to start. As long, as by the end, all the factions are included - I'll be there for the ride. I really enjoyed the gameplay in Dark Crusade and Soulstorm: I finished every faction in Soulstorm, start to finish.

Give me more campaigns and more phat lewtz! I whored out the optional missions before completing The Last Stand for about a week or so, making sure every squad had the best of the best in terms of equipment.

As long as they aren't just Space Marines with spikes (no, Chaos doesn't have to play like that) and they aren't Khorne worshipers. Lets get some of the complexities of the Chaos faction into the game this time.
I'm a whore for Relic games, so I'll buy it even if it's covered in goat poo. I'd just like something better than the DoW 1 Chaos flavor.

Any addition insofar as a race goes would be welcomed!

yeah it bugged the everloving shit out of me to see khorne beserker fighting right along side sorcerers. That shit just dont fly in 40k lore, khorne HATES magic.
I would like to see a different chaos god featured in 40k than khorne, nurgle strikes me as having the most thematic and coolest(grotesque) looking character models but tzeentch is prolly a close second for me. I would loe to toss up with a thousand sons army.
I think they should bring back the necron as well. I can live without the imperial guard or tau. the generic sci-fi human army and anime mecha alien themes dont really do anything for me.

The Iron Warriors would be a good fit.
Do they have an army of Dwarves in future armor? Know the Imperial Guard have cyclops things, but Dwarves would be awesome.

If you mention Squats, the Inquisition might hunt you down.
Er... wai *Connection Lost*
Oh god. I'm sorry for mentioning them. I had invisioned space truckers/miners with battle forge axes...not garden gnomes with jet packs.

On the bright side, they can get you some sweet hotel deals.

Honestly the coolest thing about DoW2 right now is that they're quoting mightbe on their front page.
