So the point in this blog is to ask you the viewers is what is your favorite Warhammer 40K game? I will give my person choice and explain my reasons for selecting the game title.

My Favorite Warhammer 40K Game 

Personally my top of all Warhammer 40K game title has to be Dawn of War. I have played Dawn of War since the release, I have also played all of the expansions and own all of it. Still to this very day I play it because I have had so much fun playing games against people online and in tournaments at LANS (Local Area Network) getting to play as my favorite factions: Space Marines, Chaos Marines and Elder. 

Dawn of War was one of the first few Real time Strategy games I had ever played and because it wasn't  World War 2 styled but it was Fantasy Future had made the game so much more interesting to me. While being able to play Dawn of War with all of my friends at a LAN And even in tournaments made it even better because we all got very competitive and played our own favorite faction.

Army Painter

 Away from just being able to play the game I actually collected WarHammer 40K models and painted them, Since the release of Dawn of War I was able to use the Army Painter feature to help make my own personal design for panting my models then use the design in both Dawn of War and on the actual table top game. This was a bonus to me saving me from drawing out the model and then have to color or paint the drawing. 

Game Play

The game play of Dawn of War was brilliant to me because of the many different rules and battle types. The main rules that made the game better for me is the fact that just a simple battle (1v1) it was still a capture and hold battle as well as a deathmatch. Having to capture the strategic points and build power generators in order to build your army added that bit more to do in the game by expanding your base and being able to build even more. My favorite battle types was simply Team Deathmatch and Free for all because both set many different challenges.   

Graphics

For Dawn of War being 11 years old I have to say the graphics for the time are amazing because of the fine detail that are on the maps and character models. Every character model takes very well to custom designs and the detail for every individual character on the map adds in some good creativity. All of the maps are very different with environment type, faction environment visuals and environment design. This making every map looking individual and all look amazing.
