Campaign
The Kronus campaign
What the publisher has confirmed about the Dawn of War IV campaign, and what is still unknown.
Mission data arrives at launch
Confirmed
What is known
- Confirmed
Four campaign storylines
One per launch faction, each mechanically distinct rather than a reskin of the same missions.
- Confirmed
More than seventy missions
Across all four storylines. Individual missions have not been named publicly.
- Confirmed
Set on Kronus
The campaign returns to the world at the centre of the Dark Crusade.
- Confirmed
Dark Angels appear as a Space Marine sub-faction
Not a fifth top-level faction. Deathwing and Ravenwing feature, alongside the Blood Ravens.
- Confirmed
Lion El'Jonson has a limited playable role
A small, pivotal part of the campaign rather than a mission-by-mission presence.
Forces
Who is fighting
Four playable storylines. Each faction file covers its mechanics and roster.
Space Marines
A small, expensive, extremely durable force that wins by never losing a squad.
Orks
Numbers, momentum and scrap. An Ork army that is not attacking is losing.
Necrons
Slow, expensive and nearly impossible to finish off. Necrons win by attrition they do not feel.
Adeptus Mechanicus
A technical faction that converts a power economy into precise, specialised answers.
