This sounds very grim and dark, and is not at all ridiculous. One of the best parts of the series is widely held to be the narration, featuring lines delivered with gratuitous emphasis and pauses at seemingly-random intervals. 'Author' C.S.Goto has “written” “books” about it, although you wouldn't know it by actually reading the books. Many popular stories and memes on /tg/, such as Love Can Bloom, have their origins in Dawn of War.
The most recent expansion, Soulstorm, contains almost every playable army in the Warhammer 40k setting in some form, with the notable exception of the Ordo Malleus and the Tyranids ( although there are mods to change this). It has three expansions, two of which do not require the base game to play. Dawn of War is a Real Time Strategy game for the PC set in the Warhammer 40k universe, produced by Relic Entertainment and released in 2004.
