    Just some quick notes:
    - You can get both the meltas and the multi-meltas on the celestians for even more anti-tank.
    - Seraphim aren't melee, they use dual pistols to attack at close range. I was never particularly impressed by them, but they /are/ cool.
    - The Exorcist is a pipe organ tank that shoots missiles from the pipes. I don't remember if they're good, but like, do you care? It's a pipe organ missile tank. /I/ want that.
    - Sisters Rhinos are actually like, good? They still don't do a ton of damage, but they're cheap and durable and they get the laud hailers that your buildings can get to boost your morale and break your enemies'.

      seraphims are lacking in melee, but dont forget that they have anti tank grenades on t2; because they have upgrade on 3 tier that allows them to jump assault on enemies and make them fly and do 35 damage, but its very situational, for example if you need to hit&run they are pretty nice because can shoot while moving like Diamondback thing from SC2. As for myself i prefer mass celestians because they have good ms

    Each holy icon you build costs more then the one before. This only resets one step if a listening post with one is destroyed. Having 5 of them is the max effect you can get, but in the end they dont produce anything, they just unlock your faith storage. As you get faith collected faster with more units you have, you can also spend it way faster :)

    For Soulstorm AGGRESSION IS REWARDED. Whether it's just on the base map or in the actual skirmishes.
    On the base map, the slower you play the harder it becomes, especially when you get to fighting necrons (10 province Necrons are almost impossible to beat). So you want to hit strongholds fast to wipe out a faction and consolidate all your honour guard on a planet.
    For skirmishes, because of lack of persistence buildings, you just want to get through them ASAP. If you were playing Space Marines it'd be super easy to just push out 3 squads and win while teching up. But unless you like 40 minute slogs, you want to try and push fast and hard.
    ON THE FLIP SIDE, Strongholds you NEED to take slowly. They hit you hard, they hit you fast, and the longer a stronghold goes, the larger and more deadly the attacks become, and some of the strongholds have some secret attacks that will catch you off guard.

    The campaign drags just as Dark Crusade because there is a point when the skirmishes are just rushing the enemy with the starting requision army... again and again just to end a turn. Thank god for the Battle Sisters perk to start with more buildings. The unique stronghold mission are the real deal just as in Dark Crusade but some strongholds might be defeated by other AIs before you can reach them.

    Dark Eldar play essentially the same as normal Eldar, except that your workers (slaves) and other units can harvest souls and your base can use souls as global spells. One of them is Soulstorm, the namesake of this expansion.
    Acts of Faith are unique to Sisters of Battle faction. They are abilities used by specific units like Selena, missionaries and priests. They are like psychic powers, except that you are relying on units with glowing halo on their heads to generate Faith, which is basically mana of your army (unlike Space Marine Librarians and Chaos Sorcerers that have only cooldown on their powers).
    Sisters of Battle special super unit is Living Saint who has a spell that looks like Tauren Chieftain's Shockwave, except that it's fire-based, insta-kills infantry, severely damages buildings and they are tough to confront as enemies. They are especially annoying to confront in their own HQ territory because as far as I remember (I played this very long time ago) Living Saint generates invulnerability aura around herself (like Big Bad Voodoo from Warcraft III Shadow Hunter but it makes and her invulnerable too) and you have to destroy four Saint Shrines to bring that aura down.

    Sisters of Battle are truly the perfect faction for Jay "Firebat" Borino
    But yeah, one of the (many) downsides to Soulstorm's campaign compared to Dark Crusade is that there are no persistent bases. On subsequent missions in the same area, the ONLY thing you get to start is what you've placed there as a garrison. It's just that the Forward Base buildings get left as Garrison structures. But no strategic points, no units beyond the Garrison, nothing is retained. It's a major downside.
    All in all, Soulstorm is considered a step down from Dark Crusade, but it can still be fun in its own way.

    Sisters, fight by my side, great choice.
    Forgive me for saying this, no offence meant/implied at all: couldn't find a more mismatched pair: fun-loving cmdr(Jay) and god-botherers-in-extremis(sisters of battle/sororitas for short).
    Now for that advice: battle sisters celestians and immolators(some stock, some with multi-meltas) plus exorcist arti and living saint(relic unit) are your bread+butter(of sour cream if you're (i)van).
    Seraphim are terrible at melee, use them to pistol kite instead(which is their role here and on tt), repentia are good but slow(use rhinos, they have guns unlike marine ones), the assassin when cloaked is great to kill her(yes, it's she) enemies.
    Rushing enemy hq is still valid, especially on gate territories(i was too slow with ig so gave up on them, won other factions).
    Atk gates last, good, no need to leave stuff unconquered, requisition is scarce at start. Some heroes were done dirty here(necron lord, chaos lord, tau cmdr).
    Lots of memes too (space marine and chaos, more on that later).
    More on sisters stronghold when atking ig one.
    Lastly some lore bits - if you eff up in sisters, you are thrown into repentia (no armor, no guns, only a eff-off chainsword and either go die or redeem yourself). Eff that up/fail, you get hooked up into a penitent engine you have here(nasty).
    For worse offences, you might get strapped to a nastier version of penitent engine, the mortifier(same basic design, but a full-blown iron maiden(spikes and all) sarcophagus instead of just being exposed). Latter was added to tt recently.
    More advice if/when needed.

    ah, an old one, and the disfavored child of the franchise.
    now garrison units and buildings are not super hard, you have global requisition, which you can spend to get these units set up to defend provinces you own.
    with the sisters you also get to spend that requisition to preplace a few buildings at the start, otherwise you have only your HQ, a builder and the commander('s army)
    conquering provinces each gives you one thing, that is either a bonus(mostly the fortresses of the factions) a gate(because the planets are otherwise cut off) or a unit that does not count towards your limit(you can find those on the "commander" screen in the overview once you have them.)
    it also each increases global requisition. by the by, that is ENTIRELY separate from each scenario map's economy.
    Most provinces have the objective "smash the enemy Base, especially their HQ"
    fortresses are unique missions each. but otherwise the campaign makers couldn't really be arsed to make something special.

    they are infantry's worst nightmare, literally due to morale damage and flamethrowers.

    they have generally lousy range what with all the short range weapons, especially against vehicles, melters are possibly the worst anti vehicle weapons in the game.
    their artillery unit is not really able to make up for it due to BAD accuracy.
    their super units are strong in melee but have either no or bad anti vehicle power.

Others have commented why already, but it is mostly because even though there are 4 planets, it is not as expansive as Dark Crusade. For me, personally it is the fact that your buildings do not stay for defensive missions, and that Strongholds are not as good.
      Still, it is not horrible, just an inferior version of Dark Crusade, sadly. However, the Soulstorm mods are really good.
