Dawn of War II: Elite is a multiplayer mod for Dawn of War II: Retribution. Originally envisioned by Caeltos (a competitive player with a wealth of experience spanning through vanilla to Retribution) as an experimental balance mod for high-level players, Elite evolved into making bolder changes as THQ cut the official support of DOW 2 in their dive toward bankruptcy. The addition of new abilities and units became commonplace, from Space Marine Sternguard Veterans, Eldar Fire Dragons, Chaos Raptors to the Ork Flash Gitz, finalising in the introduction of an entirely new faction - the Grey Knights, based on Bloodravage’s Destroyer 40k mod – all designed from a competitive PvP angle. Coupled with continuous development and an active community dedicated to casts, coverage and regular events, the Elite mod continues to preserve and enrich the de facto Warhammer 40K RTS to this day.

New units, a new race and tons of balancing done on a regular basis. It is a superb upgrade from the vanilla experience.
Works well and one of the best mods for DOW2.
The only real option for competitive 40k play online. No other 40k mod or game has been so carefully crafted, with such meticulous attention to detail, to accommodate a highly competitive multiplayer scene.
10/10 comprared to retail dow...
The Ordo Malleus looks and plays brilliantly, i love the rebalancing done to some of the old units as well.
What? There is no point to include something to justify rating of 10 out of 10.
The amout of work put in to this mod speaks for itself. Like you know, whole new faction, rebalance, new units, etc., sigh.
Everything is made so much better by this mod and it is so fun to play even this long after the release of the game.
The only thing keeping me from giving this mod a 10 is that space marines are still overpowered.
