THQ announced today the first details of their real-time strategy game using the Warhammer 40k table top war game license. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War is being developed by Relic Entertainment (best known for their work on the award winning Homeworld series) for the PC.

Along with a single player campaign and story, there will also be competitive and cooperative multiplayer via LAN or Internet with 2-6 players. There will be 4 unique races to control (Humans and Orks being among them, if screenshots are any indication), and resource gathering is promised to be kept at a minimum. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War is currently scheduled for release in September.
