Interesting, makes me want to play. I've mostly played RTS where you construct your base, gather resources and train an army, such as age of empires and warcraft, but this seems to focus more on unit control which is interesting.

Just came out today, well at least it did here and europe I believe. I'll be playing for a very long period of time, so if any one wants to play I'm there.

I think it comes out tomorrow for Australia. I probably won't be getting it until the weekend. Not entirely sure. However, the cinematic launcher trailer looked so bad ass. Cannot wait to get my hands on it.

the lore behind this sounds really awesome but the game itself looks kinda generic RTS and the mech unit looks a little suspicious

It's quite different than most RTS games to be honest. While Retribution is more like an RTS, vanilla DoW II was far more of a tactics game, with small unit group control, not so much building control (you'd only have one actual building where all your units were created, and couldn't build any more). It made use of cover, and all sorts of other tactical and environment strategies.
And on the topic of the Sentinels, the original model of the Sentinel looked almost nothing like an AT-ST:
Even the current models of the Sentinel look fairly different from AT-STs:

Retribution brings back the custom badge edition to the game. So far all you GTC members I made our logo the right size and everything. Just go into my games/ Dawn of WAr 2 Retribution/ Badges and paste it in there.
Here's a couple different Variations in case one doesn't match your armor color.

While I love the logos, I personally don't think I'll be applying them to my Astartes. I think I prefer the Dark Angels or Black Templar logos on my Marines just a bit more than a Star Wars criminal guild's logos

Relic released a video on youtube earlier that has a bunch of the voice actors of DoW II saying lines and messing about. They're pretty damn talented. Naturally, my favourite voices are of the Space Marines, just because they're so deep, strong and commanding. I also love the Catachan Devils voices, cause they're badass Glad my first ever Warhammer 40K army (Catachan Jungle Fighters) got badass, deep, gravely voices for their units.
