The game opens with the player and Sergeant Tarkus being deep-striked into Calderis to aid Captain Davian Thule and his initiates. As they drive away the Orks they are confronted by Mek Badzappa and his wartrukk. Although the Mek escapes, the Marines collapse the mine which they are coming through and take a victory. After this they are deep-striked from the cruiser Armegeddon into a hamlet where Scout Sergeant Cyrus is waiting for them. They manage to fight their way to the defender of the hamlet: Sergeant Avitus, and rescue him and save the hamlet from Orks. After this they receive words that Orks have attacked two more key locations and figure they must be being directed by someone. The first attack is led by a Stormboyz Nob named Skykilla and the second is being led by Warboss Gutrencha. After this the Marines obtain information from Skykillas and Gutrenchas and find that both have visited Felhammer Mine recently. They also know that Mek Badzappa is there as well. However Cyrus remains onboard the Armegeddon to provide technical support. When they enter the mine they see a Warp Spider Exarch and his retinue vanish and are rescued from Ork gunners by Sergeant Thaddeus. They also find Badzappa and his Boyz being slaughtered by an Eldar Warlock and a bunch of Guardians. Although they kill the Warlock, the Mek escapes once again. As the Warlock dies he speaks of a greater foe threatening them all but the heroes aren't that concerned.
Overall:
8, best RTS i've played and they keep it updated and its continually being made better, the single player is a must-play, the multiplayer has huge potentional but with Tales of Valor just being release this has been put on hold till recently.
