Jaw-dropping visceral combat powered by the new Combat Director system — every clash of units delivers dynamic, pulse-pounding action.
Dawn of War IV’s Combat Director system drives dramatic, cinematic sync kills during engagements, while the underlying tactics stay firmly in classic Dawn of War territory.
Positioning matters: seek out cover and garrison buildings to keep your troops alive for longer, and use unit veterancy to turn veteran squads into decisive late-game threats.
Each faction plays differently — from the Orks’ relentless aggression and free Stratagems to the Necrons’ slow, unkillable advance and the Adeptus Mechanicus’ powerful firing line.
Use terrain and buildings to protect units and force enemies into unfavourable fights.
The Combat Director system produces dynamic, cinematic kill moments during unit clashes.
Units that survive battles grow in power through the Unit Veterancy System.
Exploit each faction’s strengths — Waaagh! Banners, Noosphere research or Resurrection Galleries.
