Like many others have said. Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War, Dark crusade. The Terrans and Protoss of Starcraft are basically rip-offs of the Space Marines and Eldar of Warhammer 40k. To the point that Blizzard and Gamesworkshop came to some kind of araangement (or so I heard). The Zerg are also an aping of a 40k race, the Tyranids (but they aren't in a game yet). So if you like Starscraft DoW will give you a definate SC feel.

For a Warcraft like game go for LOTR: Battle for middle earth 2. Preferably with the Rise of the Witch-King expansion. Not only is a great use of the LOTR license it's a decent RTS game. It has somethings in common with WC. All the LOTR characters (good and bad) are heroes that level up (save Sauron and Galadriel). Plus you can make your own. Plus being able to have my Trolls eat and toss Orcs is just soo much fun.

Company of heroes. Best RTS out now. Expansion adding the British commonwealth forces and SS panzers (although they can't call them that) is coming soon.

It's not that great. I paid only $27 for it, and that was maybe too much. It's only selling point is "ZOMG Total anihillation!!!" Without that it's an average RTS game that's a resource hog and is sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow as hell. I'm talking about the pace of the actual game itself, slow downs not withstanding.

Play the demo. I have been. It's not like Red Alert in terms of gameplay. It's got it's own vibe in that department. I mean it's CnC gameplay for sure. But it takes elements from Generals, RA2, and Tiberian sun and mixes them.
