I have to say, that's a pretty sad intro...

[Namakan]

Title sounds like a rip of Frontlines: Fuel of War

You mean the format of word: word?

Seems to be a popular format which has been around longer than when frontlines was announced.

And I will definitely be getting this. I love the diversity of the 7 races so far so an 8th one plus new units will keep me a fan of the warhammer series.

Can anyone expand further on this?

[Twlight]

If you only have Soulstorm installed, you will only be able to play as the Dark Eldar & Sisters of Battle in online play (in singleplayer you can play as all 9 races).

For example:
Soul Storm = Dark Eldar & Sisters of Battle.
Dark Crusade + Soul Storm = Tau Empire, Necrons, Dark Eldar & Sisters of Battle.
Dawn of War + Soul Storm = Space Marines, Chaos, Eldar, Orks, Dark Eldar & Sisters of Battle.
Dawn of War + Winter Assault + Soul Storm = Imperial Guard, Space Marines, Chaos, Eldar, Orks, Dark Eldar & Sisters of Battle.
Dawn of War + Winter Assault + Dark Crusade + Soul Storm = Tau Empire, Necrons, Imperial Guard, Space Marines, Chaos, Eldar, Orks, Dark Eldar & Sisters of Battle.

If you have the cd key for winter assault and/or dark crusade, you can use those armies in multiplayer. But you can use all the armies in singleplayer.

Been a long time since i last played DoW but that trailer was shocking!

[Flt. Sgt. Powderhound]

That was awful... half of it was adverts FFS. Makes me glad I jumped off the sinking GW ship a couple of years ago.
