Quick answer
The first of four faction gameplay trailers for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV has been revealed, putting the Orks front and centre. Warboss Gorgutz returns to lead his greenskin horde, with new Beast Snagga tribes joining the roster alongside classic units. The trailer showcases the Waaagh! mechanic, armed buildings, and the chaotic mass of Ork base-building.
Waaagh! The Orks are here
If you’ve been waiting for a good, long look at the gameplay from Dawn of War IV, wait no longer. The Orks are at their loudest and fight-iest, with a roster full of their greatest hits: Flash Gitz, Deff Dreads, Stormboyz, and more. The Beast Snagga tribes are also joining the series for the first time, bringing their unique brand of squig-back, anti-vehicle warfare to the party.
Gorgutz returns
Warboss Gorgutz returns after his victory over the Kaurava System in Dawn of War: Soulstorm, no doubt eager to finally claim Kronus for himself. Dawn of War veterans will be glad to know that more than a few classic features of the Orks faction are back in action alongside Gorgutz, such as the army-wide spread of the Waaagh! and the chaotic mass of buildings that makes up their base, still bristling with guns.
What’s next
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV will be releasing on Steam later this year. The next faction trailers will showcase the Necrons, Space Marines, and Adeptus Mechanicus.
