Realms of Ruin might fill the Dawn of War 2-shaped hole in my heart.

Pretty soon after my squad of Stormcast Eternals started trudging through an orruk-infested swamp I started to feel at home. The Age of Sigmar setting might not be as familiar to me as the original Warhammer fantasy universe, or Warhammer 40,000, a game that has gobbled up all of my money over the last few years, butdoesn't feel like a stranger. It feels more like returning to one of the best Warhammer RTS romps: Dawn of War 2.

The ability to quickly retreat is a godsend, and those seconds where your troops are out of battle are so much easier to stomach than a wipe that forces you to spend precious resources to replace your squad. You need those resources to build Bastions, or you'll want to save them up to recruit higher-tier squads and units.

The Orruk Kruleboyz—the second of Realms of Ruin's four planned factions—have their own share of exotic units, like the Marshcrawla Sloggoth. Like the Stormdrake Guard it's a tier 2 unit, but instead of a dragon it's a giant that scrambles around on all fours while carrying a platform and net. The net isn't just a fashion accessory, and it can be deployed to ensnare nearby enemies—something I found incredibly frustrating when facing them in multiplayer. It's very handy.

Between recruitment, upgrades, construction, abilities and healing, your resources can be completely depleted in a blink of an eye, however, so you'll still need a bit of patience, prioritising what you need in the moment. There were a couple of times where I had to rapidly recruit some new units to make up for some deaths and then found myself without the necessary stockpile to use their abilities.
