Wow this I did not expect. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II and the expansions are showing signs that they will come over to Linux & SteamOS!
You can see the information from SteamDB here:
Quotelaunch/2/config/oslist: linux
launch/2/executable: DawnOfWarII.sh
launch/2/type: none
It also looks like Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Retribution will come to Linux too, again thanks to SteamDB.
While I am not a massive fan of Warhammer I've actually seen this game be played by an old friend of mine, and it genuinely looked quite fun. I am also a sucker for real time strategy games, so it appeals to me!
I wonder if it will be a outsourced port, or if it's in-house, but only time will tell.
Something to remember though: Being on SteamDB doesn't mean it's confirmed, but it certainly looks like someone is working on them.

This would be awesome - I love the Dawn of War games.
The only issue is I already own it.

Dawn of War II was solid. Haven't played retribution. Would be welcome news.

Quoting: PublicNuisanceDawn of War II was solid. Haven't played retribution. Would be welcome news.Retribution was my favorite of the DoW2 games. The campaign is not as strong as the previous games and much less personal, but it has to be because you're not forced to play as Space Marines you actually have a choice of which race/faction to play, so the story has to be a bit more vague for it to work with anyone. Obviously, I played the campaign as Orks because Orks are awesome and hilarious. It's worth it for the banter between the Orks alone. Magnificent.

EDIT: I mistook the title to mean Dawn of War the original. I retract my statement. 40K original is far superior.

Ah, pity it's not the first DoW: 40K. I bought that years ago as part of a Humble Bundle, but I've never really had a chance to play it.

Played both DoW and DoWII, they are both excellent, though more base building in the original DoW.
This plus Warhammer Total War! Fans of the Warhammer universe rejoice! (I'm still enjoying the 2 Space Hulk titles as well, plus the slightly less exciting Warhammer Quest)
