I'll consider this review as a reccomendation for the whole original Dawn of War series, seeing as I've played them all.

Warhammer: Dawn of War is probably the best RTS I've played - not because it's the most balanced or the most mechanically masterful, but because it's the most fun. The W40k universe is amazing and Dawn of War lets you play all of the races and factions that are a part of it. This variety of playable races alone is a factor that makes it a fantastic RTS.

Dark Crusade is the best expansion and has the best campaign, but Soulstorm is the crest of the Dawn of War series and is the most complete game. It's also the one that lets you add the Ultimate Apocalypse Mod, which truly allows you to play the W40k universe to its absolute fullest.
