A-Z Backlog challenge: Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 2- Chaos rising

With Dawn of War 3 coming out soon, it seemed like a good time to get this one off the backlog. I'd played through the original Dawn of War 2 campaign at least twice but previously gave up on this one pretty quickly. It plays very similarly to the main game. In that, you were protecting a sector from the Tyranid threat, here you travel to a sector where a planet has reappeared after being lost for 1000 years in the void. You move between planets in the area and choose main and side missions to gain loot, levels and progress the storyline which this time focuses on defeating a Chaos demon and those corrupted by it.  You can carry over your leader from the main campaign. This time you start with the Devastator in your squad and you also get a librarian early on, so there is more variety in terms of unites to choose from. You still go into battle with 4 squads and will see familiar enemies such as Eldar and Orks who you fight in some missions as well as Imperial guardsmen
