BUILD
Construct your base, expand your forces and crush the enemy with overwhelming force.
UPGRADE
Specialize your squad with weaponry and abilities to dominate your opponents.
CONTROL
Secure victory by capturing, controlling, and upgrading resource points, dominating vast areas of the map, or causing havoc and eliminating enemies.
SURVIVE
Eke out every last advantage on the battlefield by seeking out cover and garrison buildings to keep your troops alive for longer.
SYNC KILLS
Jaw-dropping visceral combat with the new Combat Director system. Each clash of units delivers dynamic, pulse-pounding action that will leave you breathless.
LEVEL UP
As your units survive and thrive in battle they’ll grow in power through the Unit Veterancy System.
The Orks are a brutal, battle-hungry species who thrive in conflict and dominate their opponents through a relentless strength-in-numbers strategy.
Brutal and Kunning in equal measure, the Orks' endless thirst for battle makes them a galaxy-wide menace.
Keep the pressure on with relentless aggression and overwhelming numbers.
Spread your bases, build multiple strongholds, and erect plenty of Waaagh! Banners.
Use your Stratagems whenever you can—for Orks, they're free.
Individual units—especially ranged units—are not their greatest strength.
Ork buildings are armed, but relatively easy to destroy. Chip away at their bases whenever you can.
Punish reckless advances and exploit the openings created by their aggression.
UNIT PREVIEW
Followers of the Machine God, the Adeptus Mechanicus and its Tech-Priests are the keepers of the Imperium’s technology.
None may be allowed to obstruct their quest to regain sacred knowledge.
Build a strong Noosphere Network early and expand it to your key resource points afterwards.
The Noosphere Level unlocks important research and upgrades. Make sure your units are always equipped with the best technology.
Keep enemy melee units away from your superior firing line.
Use your melee units to engage their powerful ranged units.
Destroy Cogitator Relays in key positions to weaken their Noosphere Network.
They field both cheap units and powerful late-game units. You cannot outproduce them.
UNIT PREVIEW
The ancient, deathless Necron traded their mortal bodies for mechanical supremacy, paying with their souls in the process.
Now awakening from a 60-million-year slumber, the Necrons seek to reclaim their galactic empire and assert their dominance across the universe.
Leverage your resilience to outlast opponents in prolonged engagements and recover losses via Resurrection Galleries.
Methodically advance the Power Matrix and fight within it whenever possible to gain additional bonuses.
Use your various translocation methods in the mid and late game to offset your slow movement speed.
Try to fight them outside the Power Matrix and engage their powerful ranged units.
Exploit their slow advances by striking vulnerable positions elsewhere.
Focus your fire and kill units outright—it doesn't make sense to merely wound them. Many Necrons are too slow to escape, so finish them off.
UNIT PREVIEW
The Space Marines are perhaps the most iconic faction in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, and have assumed the role of main faction in all previous Dawn of War games.
Thanks to their genetic enhancements, power armour and brutal weaponry, the superhuman Space Marines represent the ultimate defenders of humanity.
Space Marines are elite fighters and will usually win 1-on-1 encounters. Use this advantage in the early game to harass your opponent.
Upgrade your units and keep them alive by using on-field reinforcements. Retreat if necessary.
You can't be everywhere. Use fortifications to secure points, then use Reserves and the Thunderhawk Relay to quickly move troops where they are needed.
Trade efficiently — replacing losses is usually easier for you than for them.
Ork buildings are armed, but relatively easy to destroy. Chip away at their bases whenever you can.
Deny them Resource Points, especially Power. Their units are expensive and require a lot of it.
UNIT PREVIEW
The legendary Dark Angels are a powerful, independent Chapter of the Space Marines, and are themselves a playable sub-faction in Dawn of War IV.
During the Space Marines campaign, players will undertake missions in command of both the Blood Ravens and the Dark Angels.
Space Marines are elite fighters and will usually win 1-on-1 encounters. Use this advantage in the early game to harass your opponent.
