Dawn of War 2 - Retribution getting Dark Angels DLC chapter

by Alice O'Connor, Mar 31, 2011 1:15pm PDT

The crusading Dark Angels will bring their quest for redemption to Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Retribution, publisher THQ announced today. They'll be released as a custom Space Marines chapter in paid downloadable content.

The Dark Angels

The Dark Angels Pack will be purely visual, adding eight new models for Space Marines in multiplayer and a custom paintjob for the rest of their units. The Force Commander becomes a Dark Angels Company Master with a fancy winged helmet, while Tac Marines don Dark Angels robes. Scouts, Assault Marines, Terminators, and Space Marine vehicles all also receive "chapter-specific revisions."

That's all, though--no gameplay changes.

The Dark Angels Pack is scheduled to launch on April 6, priced at $7.50.
