List of Warhammer 40000 Games On PC

I like Warhammer 40000 and well, it's too bad that THQ already closed before the Warhammer 40000: Dark Millenium Online was released. That's decreasing one of my Warhammer 40000 list but let's just continue it. Here is the list of Warhammer 40000 games that still can be played normally with the computer spec today.

So I'll start from the oldest firstly:

1. Warhammer 40000 : Fire Warrior (2003)
Unlike the typical Warhammer 40000 games that's either put the Space Marines or let us choose all several faction. This one puts the us to play as a Tau fire warrior to fight the Imperial forces and later the Chaos Space Marines.

The gameplay is First Person Shooter. It have some bad AI and bot, I don't know how is this happening and people say that the PS 2 version is better. But hey it's Warhammer 40000, and anyway I can list several games today with more stupid bot and AI that Warhammer 40000 : Fire Warrior.


2. Warhammer 40000 : Dawn of War (2004)
The Dawn of War does not come to implement the computer adaptation of the table-top game. But using the small scale Real Time Strategy gameplay.

It also let us to choose Sapce Marines, Eldar, Orks, and the Chaos Space marines as playable faction. This was one of the most best known game of Warhammer 40000. The campaign was a bit repetitive but it serves best when played on multiplayer.


It also comes with 4 expansion set:

- Winter Assault (2005)
This expansion add 12 new mission into the campaign and set the Imperial Guards as a new playable faction. And the Necrons as a non playable faction.









- Dark Crusade (2006)
The Dark Crusade now fully introduce the Necrons and also the Tau as a fully playable faction both on campaign and the multiplayer. It features a new non-linear campaign where the faction given a home territory where the we are given a turn based system to attack and defend the territory. And it will going back to Real Time Strategy system when we are going on battle.

The Dark Crusade is also a stand alone expansion that will not require the previous version of the game to be played. However you are going to need the original Dawn of War version (or the Serial Code to be specific) to use the Space Marines, Eldar, Orks, and the Chaos Space Marines on multiplayer and the Winter Assault to use the Imperial Guard on multiplayer.


- Soulstorm (2008)
Soulstorm is the final set expansion of the Dawn of War. It set The Sisters of Battle and the Dark Eldar as new playable faction.The gameplay itself does not changed from the Dawn of War: Dark Crusade. It is also a stand alone expansion and just like the Dark Crusade it will require Serial Code from previous version to play the previously set faction on multiplayer.





3. Warhammer 40000: Dawn of War II (2009)
The Warhammer 40000 Dawn of War II campaign use the same kind of region but it only focussed on the linear set mission. And we can only play as the Space Marines. It's having a far better graphic and sound quality than the Dawn of War version. But lacks on multiplayer.

The gameplay itself have drastically changed where we can not build base, millitary and resource building. But instead maintain a squad of unit on both their equipment and on Real Time Strategy scale.

It also comes with 2 expansion set:

- Chaos Rising (2010)
The Chaos Rising also develop the same gameplay with the Dawn of War II and it adds a few new playable character. It also used a new chaos meter that will affect on the ending. It also still have a bit multiplayer issue.







- Retribution (2011)
Retribution is fully let us to choose the Space Marines, Imperial Guards, Eldar, Orks, Tyrannids, and the Chaos Space Marines as playable faction on both campaign and multiplayer gameplay (altough playing with different faction on the campaign is basically same and repetitive).

It also and 10 new primary mission and several secondary mission.





4. Warhammer 40000: Space Marines (2011)
Warhammer 40000: Space Marrines is a Third Person Shooter hack and slice game where we played as a the Ultramarines, Space Marines to fight off the Orks and also the Chaos Space Marines on the later game from both ranged and melee combat.

We are also have access to different weapons through the course of the game and able to regenerate our health meter by time.
