Steve Blum as Cyrus
Blum's credits in the post include Spike Spiegel in Cowboy Bebop and Wolverine in several X-Men projects. KING Art also cites his Guinness record as the most prolific video game voice actor, in 2012, with over 400 games now. In this game his character is Captain Cyrus; PC Gamer's Sep 2025 piece calls him a Scout Sergeant, his rank in the older games, so older material shows a lower rank. More is on Blood Ravens. The clip is the Oct 2026 Space Marines Faction Trailer, which introduces his character.
Brian Drummond as Gorgutz
Drummond is the returning voice in the list: KING Art credits him as the iconic Gorgutz, and lists Ryuk in Death Note and the original Vegeta in Dragon Ball Z among his other work. KING Art closes the post by mentioning franchise veterans alongside new additions, but Gorgutz is the only role it ties to a past Dawn of War performance. Gorgutz himself goes back to Winter Assault. See Orks and Ork Campaign. The clip is IGN's Jan 2026 hands-on.
Others worth knowing
Ben Whitehead is the voice of Wallace in Wallace & Gromit. Alistair Petrie's film and TV work includes Rogue One and The Night Manager. Aaron Neil has appeared in Peaky Blinders and Doctor Who. Alex Jordan names Dawn of War and Gabriel Angelos's story as one reason he went into game acting. Several cast members have Warhammer credits already: James Alexander, Jess Nesling and Ben Whitehead in Darktide, and Richard Reed in Total War: Warhammer 3.
Who is not in the game
Gabriel Angelos, the series' earlier lead, is left out on purpose, Jan Theysen told IGN, because he felt too powerful for the story. Ahmnok is a playable Necron Commander with no voice named in the post, and Astra Militarum voices other than Vorn are not listed. Commander details are on Commanders and the story's setting on Story and Setting. The Lion's part is small: two cutscenes and one mission, per Gamepressure reporting Theysen. The clip, from the Jul 2026 Necron Faction Trailer, introduces Ahmnok.
