First he must indulge Inquisitor Adrastia with her investigation on the Blood Raven chapter. He plans on using the most extreme imperial force, exterminatus, and wiping enemy and friend alike off the face of Imperial space. Imperial Guard Hero Bios Lord General CastorĬommander of the imperial forces sent to clean up the mess in the Aurelia sub sector. Now the Imperial hammer is upon the Aurelia system, to either save it from corruption, or wipe it clean off the imperial records. They believe that the people of this system let it go to hell with their incompetence and lack of faith in the God-Emperor. Those sent to lead this great imperial army have much contempt for those defending these worlds. With the increase in daemonic incursions, the still rampant xenos inflicting terror in the system, renegade guardsmen, and the Inquisitional investigation of traitorous Blood Ravens, the Imperial Guard has joined the war for the system. Tyranids only have one hero however, so options are limited in that campaign. If one player wants to choose purely army and no heroes, or mix both, it is possible depending on the race. This time around, both players will be able to choose what units they will control in a much smoother fashion. Co-opĬo-op is improved over its previous additions in the past. Missions in Retribution will now come with more meaningful story based objectives, instead of the basic 'go to point A and kill thing B.' The player will instead experience missions more in line with the lore of Warhammer 40,000, like being a filthy alien trying to survive a battle with an Imperial Baneblade super-tank.

The additional variation also factors into the mission types. The army building option includes the new units from the multiplayer mode for each faction. Instead of just having a team of four squads, you could instead opt to build and upgrade an army, or even do both, depending on your play style. The base structure of the singleplayer has also now changed. The war for Aurelia is now being presented from each faction's perspective, with their own agenda and role in the fate of the system. Each campaign is about the length of the previous expansion, Chaos Rising, and revolves around their own set of heroes.

Retribution has taken a new turn for the Dawn of war 2 series and added campaigns for all factions, including the latest addition, the Imperial Guard.
