The entire series is 15% off now, at just over $58. I will buy this, eventually..but I don't love the franchise enough to pay full price.

I can recommend the DLC. It is very nice. O0

The Chaos Demon's are playable in skirmish mode, but don't yet have their own campaign. The campaign is Space Wolves vs Demons, and there is also a very nice Ork vs Demon scenario prequel battle to the campaign.

The demon's tend to emphasise close quarter battle, so if you can demoralise their lead attackers, you might have a chance. However, their big units are very hard to kill.
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

What is the level of randomization in the game? Are the maps, forces, or force placements different each game?

I've been playing the first scenario of each campaign to get a flavour of it. So far there seems quite a bit of variety.

Yes. You can have different sorts of action, terrain, and can play any combination of races/factions.

New update...customizable sandbox campaigns!

Quote
We have a surprise for all Sanctus Reach fans today.

It's been a while since the last major update, but the developers from Straylight Studio have not been idle. They have been secretly at work on behalf of the Emperor of Mankind, toiling silently on a secret project... which we are releasing today.

With today's update comes the new Sandbox Campaign mode.

Now you will be able to completely customize and generate new campaigns to your liking, choosing the faction you'd like to lead and setting the parameters you want.

Have you ever wanted to lead a horde of Chaos Daemons, facing the servants of the Imperium? Or maybe you'd like to lead a new massive Waaaagh! and fight a series of battles against, well, anyone who would put up a good fight? Now you can!

You can choose to play as any faction you have unlocked, against any other faction. You can also set the number of battles you'd like to fight, up to a maximum of 20. You can of course set the difficulty level you prefer.

There is also now a new mode known as Ironman mode. When playing a campaign on Ironman mode your units will suffer from permanent death and your forces won't be replenished between missions! Not for the faint of heart, surely.

We believe that this new feature will greatly increase replayability, and we are eager to hear your feedback on it.

Yes. Totally different games. You'll actually get more mileage out of sanctus reach.
