There isn't a download for the WH mod yet, but I'm hearing consistent rumors it will be released somewhere between Thanksgiving and Christmas of '07. I've also heard they are getting help from the Dawn of War Pro team (a fan balance mod that's awesome) for balancing the army. I really think this will be the best "army mod" for Dawn of War; I'm really looking forward to trying it.

I was reading the preview of Dawn of War: Soulstorm in Games for Windows. This quote had me shaking my head in puzzlement:

"Further complicating the balance issues is the addition, for the first time, of air units. Every race is getting them in Soulstorm except for the Necron, who (being underground for 60 million years) simply did not have the lore to support it in GW's elaborate storyline."

Excuse me?!?!

Those are spaceships, not small, close air-support vehicles. The scale difference is immense.

@njfed:
Those Necron ships are on the order of thousands of meters long. If one of those things were even in orbit, the mission would be pointless, because it would bombard everything on the surface of the planet. This would be like Imperial Guard players complaining that they should be able to field Emperor class Battleships. The puny scale of these battles could be held one hundred times over inside one of those ships without overlapping on space.
