			A version of Last Stand was also backported to [[Dawn of War]] Soulstorm via mods, most notably being included as part of the Unification Mod. While obviously not as good due to having to be built from scratch, it means you can Last Stand with Sororitas and Dark Eldar if that's your thing.

	The first map, Bloodied Colosseum throws you primarily against Eldar, Space Marines, Tyranids, and Orks - I.E. the four cardinal races. You will also periodically see a smattering of Imperial Guard units. At wave 16, the game throws, as a boss wave, 3 health-buffed clones of your heroes, who have AI scripts that allow them to revive one another and generally turn the match into a pass-or-fail session of how quickly your team can deliver a series of explosions directly on top of them and orbital strike them until the squad can see hell. At wave 20 these return, along with [[Araghast the Pillager]].		The first map, Bloodied Colosseum throws you primarily against Eldar, Space Marines, Tyranids, and Orks - I.E. the four cardinal races.

	The second map, Anvil of Khorne, is widely-considered the better of the two maps, though it's far harder for newcomers to handle. It throws literally every race at the team, as well as bosses Superheavies throughout (so you will need to fight the Swarmlord, Battlewagon, Land Raider, Baneblade, et al). The final wave also drops [[Gabriel Angelos]], some squads of Termies and a Land Raider or two for fair measure. Interestingly, this is orders of magnitude easier than Bloodied Coliseum's reviving bosses with a capped-out team and generally more fun.

	You all play hero units - there's one of each race, two of whom are classified as paid DLC. Interestingly, though each hero has about 2-3 "common" builds you'll see for them, there's enough customization and tactical choices that you can potentially come up with about a dozen viable builds for each. To further help you out, [[/tg/]] was nice enough to get these little guides together for your use:		You all play hero units - there's one of each race, two of whom are classified as paid DLC.

Unless your weapons are worthless against these enemies and you have better targets.
	* Do not resurrect fallen comrades unless it is really safe to do so: Enemies will deal enough damage to potentially kill you during the resurrection or shortly after it and the resurrected comrade starts so weak and probably with cooldown still in progress so that he is next. If you are the last one standing, do hit and run tactics until the enemies have been thinned enough to help your buddies. Also: Do not finish all enemies off before you rescued your buddies so they can heal up a bit and prepare for the next wave.		* Do not resurrect fallen comrades unless it is really safe to do so: Enemies will deal enough damage to potentially kill you during the resurrection or shortly after it and the resurrected comrade starts so weak and probably with cooldown still in progress so that he is next.

			Never mind that some people are dicks: if you dare to die in any round, they leave (Izual), if you use the tiny "glitch" spot in BC for your drone, people will leave (Malcador), and some people will leave if you "steal" their kills and some people don't give a fuck about their team mates, play fully alone, ignore any tactics and synergies and leave you to die and some just walk into your friendly fire continuously. And some will leave if you play "wrong".

	'''Far more pressing and important:''' On Bloodied Colosseum, you can predict from where the doppelgangers are coming from: they almost invariably come from the same corner where the first group of Eldar banshees from wave 9 came from or even earlier at wave 3 where the first pair of guardian squads spawn.
