	* '''The Traitor commander in a Banewolf''' - An Imperial Guard commander who turned into a [[Nurgle]] cultist after he and the overwhelming majority of his regiment was corrupted by Ulkair. He has a pretty decent VA, though not very Nurgle-ish.		* '''The Traitor commander in a Banewolf''' - An Imperial Guard commander in Aurelia who turned into a [[Nurgle]] cultist after he and the overwhelming majority of his regiment was corrupted by Ulkair. He has a pretty decent VA, though not very Nurgle-ish.

	* Those three Space Marines who have British accents for some reason - Undoubtedly the best VA'd characters in the game. These 2 renegade marines and 1 Chaos Space Marine have well done accents. Likely the only link to the fact that Games Workshop is a BLEEDING BRITISH COMPANY. They are also well characterized by being able to scream Blood for the Blood God better than ~~any body~~ else.		* '''Those three Space Marines who have British accents for some reason''' - Undoubtedly the best VA'd characters in the game.

	* '''Davian Thule''' - OK, he doesn't have a major role in Retribution, in fact he's only seen in the early part of the campaign as Chaos. Though some suspect that it's him going Toe-to-Toe with a Chaos Dreadnought in the Tutorial Mission.		* '''Davian Thule''' - OK, he doesn't have a major role in Retribution, in fact he's only seen in the early part of the campaign as Chaos.

	* '''Ulthwe [[Aspect_Warrior#Warp_Spiders\|Warp Spider]] [[Exarch]]''' - Tasked with organizing the defense of the Seer Council while they maintain the ritual blinding the [[Exterminatus]] fleet to the plans of Kyras. He fails, the Seer Council is massacred, and Kyras' ambitions are brought to completion.		* '''Ulthwe [[Aspect_Warrior#Warp_Spiders\|Warp Spider]] [[Exarch]]''' - Tasked with organizing the defense of the Seer Council while they maintain the ritual blinding the [[Exterminatus]] fleet to the plans of Kyras.

	During the [[Eldar]] campaign he walks Kayleth and her command into an ambush in an attempt to prevent them from fulfilling a prophecy that they will allow the rise of Kyras and send millions of souls into the maw of She Who Thirsts.		**During the [[Eldar]] campaign he walks Kayleth and her command into an ambush in an attempt to prevent them from fulfilling a prophecy that they will allow the rise of Kyras and send millions of souls into the maw of She Who Thirsts. Kayleth and her allies are similarly concerned with a prophecy about the ritual -the purpose of which they're ignorant of- that says it will lead to the destruction of the lost soulstones they've come to retrieve. In one of the defter handling of events in any [[Dawn of War]] title two groups of [[Eldar]] work at cross-purposes despite similar motivations and end up making both prophecies true in the worst ways.

	* Plot: Aside from returning to contact with the Hive Mind, the rest is perfectly clear: The Tyranids will just '''OM NOM NOM''' everything edible as usual.		* Plot: Aside from returning to contact with the Hive Mind, the rest is perfectly clear: The Tyranids will just '''OM NOM NOM''' everything edible as usual.

	* '''The Hive Lord''' - Not the swarmlord as originally thought (but you can get him as the Tyranids' superheavy unit later on), but simply a hilariously tough Hive Tyrant. He's the only Hero for the Tyranids since their campaign plays more like a troop-focused RTS. He's trying to lead the tyranids to resume contact with the Hive Fleet in deep spehss, but something is interfering with his telepathic communication to the fleet and the Hive Lord will solve that problem in the only way that ever works; with lots and lots of violence. He becomes one of the most awesome hive tyrants ever by charging right at a titan sized Daemon Prince and hacking away until DOM-Kyras becomes weak enough to be decapitated by a capillary tower bursting out of the ground. He leads the Hive Fleet to return, make the Malleus ships run with their tails between their legs, and omnomnom Aurelia. In the first Tyranid mission, you immediately have to kill Sergeant Merrick, which is the second most emotionally devastating moment in the game. He is easily the best tank out of all of the Heroes, having more hit points at the start of the game than many heroes will have by level ten (though, to be fair, he has no one to back him up so he needs to survivability), and the fact that the engine considers him a vehicle lets him break missions that weren't designed for vehicles in half. And on top of that, he can also summon reinforcements instantly with no requisition cost (initially he's limited to Rippers, but can upgrade to summon Gaunts, Raveners, and Genestealers instead) has a wide variety of wargear that lets him be either ~~snooty~~ or choppy and also grants fun abilities like the ability to auto-revive and reinforce all units near him. Oh, and as a synapse creature everything around the Hive Lord gets buffs that can also be boosted via wargear.		* '''The Hive Lord''' - Not the swarmlord as originally thought (but you can get him as the Tyranids' superheavy unit later on), but simply a hilariously tough Hive Tyrant.

Oh, and as a synapse creature everything around the Hive Lord gets buffs that can also be boosted via wargear.

	* '''The Hive Mind''' - No longer simply just a woman's voice with a bit of an echo, the Hive Mind's voice has been reworked into somebody who sounds like they're gargling nails and mayonnaise as they speak (as well as being mildly creepier and more capable of expressing emotion). Ironic, considering the voice is done by a crazy woman. The Hive Mind essentially plays the role that Gabriel Angelos did in the Dawn of War II and Chaos rising campaigns, giving you plot exposition and commands. The other half of the plot exposition comes from intercepted communications from your enemies in response or anticipation to your actions.		* '''The Hive Mind''' - No longer simply just a woman's voice with a bit of an echo, the Hive Mind's voice has been reworked into somebody who sounds like they're gargling nails and mayonnaise as they speak (as well as being mildly creepier and more capable of expressing emotion).

	It was pretty fun to play once through (if you enjoyed the levels in [[Command and Conquer]]/[[Starcraft]] where you had a limited bunch of units instead of a proper base), although repetitive since all the maps are reused two or three times each. There wasn't much point in replaying since you've technically already beaten everything twice or more.
