I don't understand how, all of a sudden, every RTS that has a futuristic setting is suddenly Starcraft. The <i>irony</i> in your statement is also killing me. Don't make me elaborate.

Also, I wan't talking about storyline- I was talking about gameplay. As ususal, you've got three races.(Four, but Chaos are just marines except a little bit stronger.) You get the same old "OGM BUIOLD BUILD BUILD BUiLD BUILD!" followed by some "OGM THROW THEM AT THE ENEMYS LOLOZERS!" I'm not saying I prefer SC, I'm just saying it's all pretty much the same thing.
I would have preferred it if they had made it more like Medieval: Total War or the tabletop game: you have a certain amount of points with which to buy troops and equipment, you field them, and get Victory Points for destroying/breaking enemies and for completing objectives. The one who has the most victory points at the end wins. This is what I want from a WH40K game.
To be honest, Laser Squad Nemesis is more true to the feel of the WH40K tabletop game.
As it is, DoW is a fun enough game. I've found it enjoyable, and it's still in beta. However, it's not a step forward or a new experience, which is a pity.

It's juust like starcraft.
Except the resource gathering.
And tech trees.
And how it handles abilites.
Also unit controls.
And the whole 'squad' idea.
And the upgrading weapons.
And the commanders.
And how it looks.
Oh and morale.
Also it's balanced and not based around amassing one unit type.
But you know, aside, it's JUST LIKE STARCRAFT! DUH!

You have got to be joking. Name one RTS game where you don't gather resouces, you don't build units, and you don't attack.
