Skirmish
These are maps that you can play against many fractions at once, you have no doubt done this before in other games of its type. I would recommend playing a couple of them before picking what fraction you wish to play the game with. Dark crusade & Soulstorm are the games you will be able to play any fraction, Dawn of war is only space marines where as winter assault is imperial guard, elder in the order campaign. Chaos and Ork for the Chaos campaign. These maps can be 1 on 1 or more than 1 fraction per map.

As requested from a guy i met in game workshop ive added to my list of stuff to do is teaching the different factions of the game and they best results. Check the videos below for the faction of your choice. (bare with as this has only been requested today so im going over go all of them and get back onto the campaign).

points of view
make sure to build a max of your stronghold bases for max points as well as turrets and power generators. the only thing you will have to do is summon your troops into battle and do upgrades to your buildings.

Each one of these offers you a new honour guard member.

To all guide creators, Shut your mouths and listen up! This is how a real game guide is properly done and completed. Look at the overall details within, it just boggles the mind. Floki, you are the man, great job, just outstanding brother... 5 stars not enough it says, I agree. So here is 10. :star_ST: :star_ST: :star_ST: :star_ST: :star_ST: :star_ST: :star_ST: :star_ST: :star_ST: :star_ST: :pow:
