==Plot== {{spoilers}} <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%"> Coming back with a new look and much closer to the first game while having elements from the second, the third installment sees the return of some of the more popular characters. Among them [[Gabriel Angelos]], [[Farseer Macha]] and [[Warboss Gorgutz 'Ead 'Unter]] will battle for the planet of Acheron for a powerful weapon known as the Spear of Khaine. Whilst the Eldar and Orks seek to obtain it for its tremendous power, Gabriel seeks to prevent anyone from using it, as it apparently reeks of deceit. More of the plot can be read below. <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> ===Part 1: Verlock Keep and Cyprus Ultima=== Long story short, it begins on the Knight World of Cyprus Ultima being overrun by [[Orks]] led by [[Warboss]] Gitsompa with Varlock Keep being on its last toes against the green tide. [[Heresy|For some reason,]] Inquisitor Holt has prevented further reinforcements from assisting the local Knight house from being overwhelmed. Thankfully for Lady Solaria (The Matriarch of Verlock Keep), <s>Captain</s> [[Chapter Master]] [[Gabriel Angelos]] of the [[Blood Ravens]] ignored the [[Inquisitor|Inquisitor's]] decree and came to assist Lady Solaria's forces. During the fighting, Warboss [[Gorgutz]] led a counter attack to prove that he is the better overall leader then Gitstompa. Unfortunately the [[Eldar]] led by [[Autarch]] Kyre, came on Cyprus to mess everything up which forced Gorgutz to think of some [[Tactical genius|Tactical Genius]] which involves building a giant cannon, sabotage and [[Sindri|Sindri'ing Warboss Gitstompa]] so that Gorgutz would become defacto leader. Meanwhile, the breach in the decree led to Inquisitor Holt feeling all [[Butthurt|butthurt]] about this and tasked Ol'Gabe to defend Starfort Helios which has been overrun by Orks now led by Gorgutz. Both Holt and Gabe talked about the reason behind the starforts, in which they were designed as a barricade against the legendary planet Acheron which houses the legendary 'Spear of [[Khaine]]' in which Holt took great interests in attaining it for himself. As you can imagine, Gabe was quite suspicious over the Inquisitor's ambition and was even more suspicious over the Spear of Khaine whose intuition led Gabe to suspect of it as a [[Chaos|Chaotic corruption]] (Oh, how right he was). On the other hand of the spectrum, [[Farseer]] [[Macha]] led an Eldar warhost to aid Kyre who he himself is also after the Spear of Khaine. However, Macha is suspicious about Kyre's prophecy as it did not add up to Macha's own divination on what lies beyond Acheron. Macha was tasked by Kyre to kill Gabriel Angelos as he sees the Chapter Master as an obstacle to Kyre's own ambition, however Macha's relationship with Gabriel stretched all the way back [[Tartarus]]. Before she could accomplish this, [[Jonah Orion]] stood in Macha's way. Macha promptly kicked Jonah's ass and threaten to kill him if he did not tell her where <s>Macha's husbando</s> Gabriel Angelos is. However, being the shining beacon of bromance that is Gabe, the Chapter Master came to Macha's location to prevent her from killing his [[Gay|<s>boyfriend</s>]] most trusted [[Librarian]] butt budy. Macha attempted to throw her singing spear, Gabriel remembered that he was wearing terminator armour and singing spears are AP- and so managed to catch the damned weapon with his hands. Macha blasted him with Psychic shenanigans, took a thunder hammer to the face and either passed her Invuln save or benefited from the Eternal Warrior rule. Before they could end their little 'reunion' however, the planet Acheron arrived on the Cyprus system and shattered Starfort Helios, reigning space debris on where they fought (Seriously, Acheron is ECKS BAWKS HUEG, like Gas Giant size). Macha escaped whilst Gabe was left horrified over the fate of [[Chaplain]] [[Apollo Diomedes]] as it was Gabriel who ordered Diomedes to assist the resistance on Helios. Meanwhile, Gorgutz promptly [[PROMOTIONS|jizzed himself]] with all the loot being crash landed around him due to Helios' demise. Unfortunately, other gitz such as [[Weirdboy]] Zappnoggin and [[Big Mek]] Wazzmakka are fighting over the loot. After Gorgutz promptly bash their heads in and forced them to comply under his leadership, Gorgutz then led on a joyride to Starfort Charon so he could find out what the hell is going on in Acheron. Apparently ''how'' he managed to get onto the Starfort without getting shot down isn't worth worrying about (seriously, he's just there and hopping off a crashed craft without any further explanation). After blowing up the defenses of Charon with nothing more than a bunch of [[Gretchin]] with explosive grenades (seriously, you would think that the defenses of an Imperial Starfort would be a bit more secure), Gorgutz then used the opportunity of the disabled Starfort to land on Acheron without the worry of being blown up. On the other hand, Macha met with [[Ronahn]] to discuss on the potential craziness that is Kyre. Apparently, the reason why Ronahn was here and acting as a secret spy for Kyre was because Kyre [[Derp|somehow got his hands on]] [[Taldeer|Taldeer's]] soulstone due to some altercation with Ronahn. Apparently, Kyre is using Taldeer's prophecy as not only as to stroke Kyre's fragile ego but to also keep his legitimacy stable. Despite the fact that using another [[Craftworld|Craftworld's]] soulstone for nefarious purposes, especially one from [[Ulthwé]] should be enough to send half of the Craftworld's forces to shank Kyre's ass for [[Heresy]], this did not come to pass. After some discussions, Macha, Ronahn and [[Jain Zar]] (Who came to Macha's assistance to stop Kyre's foolish action that would further weakened the Biel-Tan craftworld) all agreed that Kyre's prophecy is nothing more than a steaming pile of [[Bullshit]] and will lead their people to ruin. Unfortunately Jain Zar didn't just tell everyone to stop follow Kyre because she didn't feel like it (yes seriously, she'd rather kill Eldar than that and there's a weak explanation on her trying to get Macha to realize her potential through the conflict) which would have ended the conflict immediately and stopped Eldar from killing each other. So Macha and Ronahn devise a plan to distract Kyre's forces with the aid of Gorgutz so they could sneak around and steal back Taldeer's soulstone instead. Macha and Ronahn also managed to convince Gorgutz to aid them by essentially waving the Spear of Khaine all over Gorgutz like he is some sort of attack dog. So with Gorgutz now in the race to get his 'Super Pointy Stikk', Dawn of War 3 has essentially turned into a Monty Python sketch with all three races bonking each other's heads so they can leap frog each other to get to the Spear first. ===Part 2: Acheron=== On the other side of the theater, Gabe discussed with Captain Balthazar on board the Blood Raven's [[Battlebarge]] to retrieve Diomedes' [[Gene Seed|Gene Seed]] for he fears that he is dead. However, Inquisitor Holt being a shady motherfucking dick, threatened Gabriel not to go to the remains of Helios or else he would shoot Gabe's aircraft out of the sky. This understandably twisted Gabe's nipples to no end and secretly arranged Balthazar to [[Just as Planned|teleport]] Gabe on the remains of Starfort Helios. They agreed and Gabe was transported on the destroyed Starfort. What he saw disturbed Gabe as the remains of both the Starfort and its crew members was [[Grimdark|fused with the structures of Acheron]]. Fearing for the worst, Gabriel along with a group of [[Terminator|Terminators]] proceed to cleanse the area of both Orks and Eldar with sufficient [[Dakka]]. Once Gabriel found where Diomedes is located, to everyone's surprise, Apollo Diomedes has indeed survived due to [[Plot Armor|rolling a 1 on his To Wound/Destroyer roll and escaping unscathed]] (or maybe he just passed every Armour/Invuln save, he was wearing termie armour). After hearing the Inquisitor's actions, Diomedes was understandably [[Rage|pissed as fuck.]] Inquisitor Holt himself was displeased, but more pressing matters was at hand due to everyone wanting to get the Spear of Khaine. On Acheron, Farseer Macha and her posse sneaked to where Taldeer is resting and proceed to [[Blood Ravens|'borrow it']] for their own uses. However, they were caught and were forced to flee, fortunately they completed their task and Kyre sighed in disappointment. Near the vault shielding the Spear of Khaine, Gabe and friends fought their way to destroy the Eldar. However, Inquisitor Holt decided that if a bunch of enemies are gathered in one spot, you might as well just nuke them and requested an orbital bombardment on the vault. Unfortunately it turns out shooting a door has a chance of blowing it open, which certainly happened and that was near where Gabriel's forces were (though he did at least warn Gabe with more than enough time for the Blood Ravens to flee), so Gabe ordered his brothers to flee and while remaining behind because he knew it would look really cool for the trailer. Apollo Diomedes and even Jonah Orion [[Rage|flipped their shit on the Inquisitor]], with Diomedes swearing he [[RIP AND TEAR|wants to rip Holt's head off and shit down his neck]] and Jonah calling Holt a fucking retard for even requesting orbital bombardment. Holt, feeling the heat of a chapter of pissed off [[Space Marines]] went and plead with Lady Solaria. [[Awesome|Solaria then laid down the sickest burn in the game, calling out Holt's cowardice in not only letting Solaria's house to die by the Ork invasion but also firing orbital bombardment near the position of Gabriel Angelos, she further states that no one would fear the incompetence and idiocy of a 'disgraced Inquisitor' threatening Holt that his ass is grass once she tells Holt's superiors on what he has done.]] Holt later put an ice pack on that burn and cried himself to sleep, but before he did, he told Solaria that Gabe may still be alive and what do you know, Gabriel ''IS'' alive since he watched the bombardment from a distance while taking advantage of that Iron Halo/Cataphractii Terminator re-roll bullshit. Gorgutz was also practically under the blast and he survives due to... [[Plot Armor|he just does.]] Inside the vault on the true surface of Acheron, Autarch Kyre used Macha's supporters as leverage to draw her out and force her to comply to his will. Unfortunately for him, they were standing on an icy prison keeping a FUCK HUEG [[Greater Daemon]] of [[Khorne]] from escaping (yes, it is yet ''another'' reveal that [[Chaos]] is the ultimate big bad, [[Skub|Que more moaning and bitching that the plot is uninspired)]] and Macha rightly concluded that fighting would only wake it and that something was wrong with the spear. Naturally Kyre didn't listen and after an intense firefight of elf-on-elf violence, Macha then pleaded to Ronahn to let Taldeer's soulstone to be interned in a motherfucking [[Wraithknight]]. Ronahn as you can imagine, hesitated cause he is a good and dutiful brother and would never put his sister into harms way again; the situation however, was dire, thus Ronahn relented and became the co-driver with his sister. During the infighting, Kyre knew he was distracted and continued his campaign to retrieve the Spear. However, bad luck follows Kyre everywhere, and is forced to butt heads with Gorgutz army. These two both battled each other before Kyre won, grabbed the Spear of Khaine and attempt to slay Gorgutz. His plans were slightly hindered when a part of the blade broke and he was liquefied, as it turns out that the Spear was a [[Trap]] designed to spill the blood of the ambitious and greedy and to act as a blood ritual to release the daemon from its prison. Kyre did the 'Oh Shit!' look before ending up like [[Sindri Myr]] as daemon chow. ===Part 3: Tartarus 2, Electric Boogaloo=== With the daemon released, everyone promptly shat bricks. Macha and Taldeer then did a quick divination and found out that the only way to victory is get all three races to unite and spank the daemon to oblivion. Macha, somehow managed to convince Gorgutz to join her cause despite being backstabbed by Ronahn (Or as Gorgutz would like to call him, Ronny) whilst Gabriel has a....somewhat [[Love Can Bloom|intimate chat]] before he himself joined her cause. Unfortunately for Gabe, part of the ritual needed to defeat the daemon was [[Exterminatus|to blow up Acheron]]....[[Herp|with his own Battlebarge.]] Captain Balthazar overheard this and eagerly accepted his fate before [[Angry Marines|pile driving a seemingly fully loaded Battlebarge into the planet's crust]] in a spectacular display of [[Warhammer 40,000 8th edition|needless sacrifice'''s''']]. Seriously, how many Blood Ravens were on the ship? Anyway, the ship blew up the mantle and hurtled the shrine housing the Spear of Khaine into orbit. You would think that the Battlebarge would have just [[Derp|fired its weapons or even have a Cyclonic Torpedo ready,]] but it seems the Imperium has a knack for [[World Engine|wasting expensive ships by]] [[First Tyrannic War|blowing itself up for myriad of reasons.]] On the other hand, Angelos and Balthazar did mention how the Daemon was shielding Acheron and how it took a trio of listening posts to guide the Battlebarge down to the surface; nevertheless, it still is retarded, because the Inquisition normally issues [[Exterminatus]] device approved for [[Chapter Master (game)|Space Marines]] to use by placing it directly on a planet's surface, or use [[Gabriel Angelos|Nemesis weaponry]] to [[Grey Knight|bannish the daemon]] [[Matt Ward|regardless of]] [[Spiritual Liege|his Wounds stats]]; and while it is possible that the Blood Ravens having [[Celestial Lions|bad relationships with the Inquisitor]] would have prevent them from getting one, they didn't even bother to ask and instead killed dozens or hundreds of battle-brothers wile wasting ressources the Blood Ravens can't afford to lose, proving therefore that the staff [[Games Workshop|didn't even know about it]]. All three heroes were teleported onto the shrine (It would be safe to assume that all named elite heroes survived Acheron's destruction) by Macha's help to face the daemon. As explained, the previously seen ECKS BAWKS HUEG daemon the size of a Imperial Cruiser has now shrunk in size to be the same height as any old regular Greater Daemon. In a hilariously bizarre and completely un-Khornate way, the daemon AKA the Storm Prince, [[Wat|spends more time healing itself by literally drinking a fountain of]] [[Lulz|daemon kool-aid]]...[[FAIL|we wish we were joking.]] That and the fact that the daemon used [[Tzeentch|trickery of all things]] to set itself free (Spear of Khaine fiasco, daemonic doppelgangers, etc)...one must wonder how [[Khorne]] might have felt after learning that this jackass along with [[Firaeveus Carron|another failure]] continue to became such staunched followers of the Blood God. During the fight, Gabriel in a completely uncharacteristic way, acknowledged ignoring Macha's warnings back on Tartarus was a mistake which resulted in the devastation of the Blood Ravens in [[Dawn of War 2]], in which Macha in turn, uncharacteristically accepted it; but come on now, we all remember that her warnings were fully aimed at protecting the plot, not making things clear for the Blood Ravens & the Inquisitor on what they ought to do. After kicking the daemon to death, all three heroes departed to go their separate ways with Gorgutz finally getting his 'Super Pointy Stikk'/Spear of Khaine. [[What|Again, this is bizarrely uncharacteristic for all of them as we usually see an Eldar ending up backstabbing the Orks and Space Marines into muderfucking each other instead of simply...you know...keeping their promises. Maybe they decided to wait until their armies could rebuild?]] Anyway, with the mission done, it is safe to assume that Inquisitor Holt is going to have his [[Anal Circumference|anus enlarged by fifteen meters]] over the shit he has done to Gabe and friends. All in all, the last few missions was vaguely similar to the plot of the original [[Dawn of War]]. As both games ends with a cataclysmic fight against an agent of [[Chaos]] being freed from a millennia long prison that is disguised as an object of immense power, in which a gullible pawn thinks he can take it for his own benefit, only to be used as a sacrifice to free the daemon in a blood ritual. Both artifacts are seen by Gabriel Angelos to be malicious and needs to be destroyed with Macha warning Gabe about the true nature of both artifacts. The only difference is that Gabe actually listened to Macha for once on Acheron, thus making the ending of Dawn of War 3 more [[Noblebright]] than the original Dawn of War. Oh yeah, the secret after credits ending depicts none other then the return of the [[Necrons]]. Which would probably be more impressive if the story hadn't pretty much stopped there with no sign of continuing. </div></div>
