Warhammer 40000 Dawn of War 4_02

If you’re looking for a faction that can answer anything the Orks and Necrons throw at you in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4, the Space Marines have you covered.

The Blood Ravens and Dark Angels might not agree on their principles and tactics, but they can dominate any battlefield they choose to tackle together. The Ravens scout the map and infiltrate enemy positions, striking strongpoints before the main force faces any resistance. The Dark Angels are the main force, bringing heavy armor and insane firepower to obliterate the Emperor’s foes.

Of course, different units serve different functions, and you can attack at range and in close quarters. Meanwhile, your War Engines can air-drop reinforcements or deploy Stratagems that can turn the tide of any confrontation in a matter of seconds.

Those Commanders are a sight to behold on the battlefield, striking away enemy troops with impunity and clever, skilled use of brains, brawn, or both. All in all, the Space Marines can be devastating if you set them up for success, and collaboration could yield better rewards than a less-coordinated approach against factions who rely on superior numbers or firepower.

We’re especially eager to pit the Marines against some Necrons, and the showcase below should show you why it’s better than anything else.
