After the success of Dark Crusade, THQ and Relic Entertainment decided to complete the Dawn of War series with a final expansion; Soulstorm. This pack brought to the RTS an unprecedented 9 playable races, with the additions of the Dark Eldar and Sisters of Battle, as well as adding Air units for the existing races (Except for the Necrons who gained the Deceiver).

The Dark Eldar although similar in stature and looks to the Eldar, could not be as different. They take pleasure in torture and murder; capturing enemies, performing rituals and blood combat. Hailing from the dark and sinister city of Commorragh, the Dark Eldar are much like pirates, raiding and attacking with lightening precision, taking prisoners and retreating without a whisper. On Soulstorm they have a unique third resource "Soul", this is collected from the fallen bodies on the battlefield and allows the Dark Eldar to use special Soul abilities.

The Sisters of Battle are an order of Militants from the Adeptas Sororitas, and are part of the Imperium, mainly its religious structure. They worship the God Emperor and wish to purge all heretics and unclean souls who would not see the light, they also convert populations on foreign planets to the Emperors cause. On Soulstorm they too have a unique third resource "Faith", this is gained through faithful units such as the Canoness and Confessor and can be used to perform special "Act of Faith" abilities; these abilities vary from the Missionaries "Lay hands" healing ability, to the Canoness' powerful "Ascension" ability, that summons angels to the field.

Imperial Guard Marauder Bomber - A T3 aircraft with bomb payloads, as well as a wide variety of weaponry for all targets. Good for base bashing and damaging massed infantry with its fire bombs, or buildings with its Krak grenades.

Space Marine Land Speeder Tempest - A more heavily armed and armoured Land Speeder. The Tempest has the standard assault cannon, as well as upgradeable with either Frag or Krak grenades to fulfil either an anti tank or anti infantry role. Fast and able to traverse terrain, it can make for a good harassment unit.

Ork Fighta Bomba - A T3 aircraft unit, the Fighta Bomba fires grot bombs; projectiles with Grot slaves strapped to the missile for guidance. Good for harassment and infantry support. 

Chaos Hell Talon - A T2 aircraft, the Hell Talon has excellent mobility and firepower, making it a formidable harassment unit. Equipped with Lascannon, Assault Cannon, Hell Bombs, and in tier three, Toxin bombs, the Talon can deal with any threat.

Eldar Nightwing - A T2 Aircraft, the Nightwing is primarily an anti air dog fighter, equipped with Shuriken Catapults, it can quickly take down enemy planes, allowing for your ground force to continue fighting, unharmed.

Tau Barracuda Fighter - A T2 Aircraft, armed with missiles and Burst Cannons, it does good infantry to Vehicles, planes and moderate damage to buildings. A Superb harassment unit, with great mobility and good range.

Necron Deceiver - The second C'tan god, the Deceiver, can now be summonsed in the same manner as the Nightbringer. The Deceiver can control enemy units, as well as summoning illusionary Monoliths to the battlefield.
