Faction

Orks

A relentless, numbers-first faction that turns constant pressure into map control.

Version: Pre-release
Orks in Dawn of War IV

Overview

Orks thrive on momentum. Keep fights happening, spread your presence across the map, and make the opponent respond to several threats at once. Their official faction guide frames them as a brutal, battle-hungry force whose strength comes from aggression and numbers rather than isolated ranged squads.

How to play

  • Keep attacking and use your numerical advantage to maintain pressure.
  • Expand across the map with several strongholds and Waaagh! Banners.
  • Use Stratagems often; the official guide highlights that Ork Stratagems are free.

How to play against

  • Punish overextended attacks instead of meeting every charge head-on.
  • Wear down exposed Ork bases; their armed buildings are comparatively easy to destroy.
  • Exploit the gaps created when their army commits too aggressively.
