9 Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4 pages in Factions.

Adeptus MechanicusThe Adeptus Mechanicus make their series debut in Dawn of War 4 as a quick, ranged, tech-heavy faction built around the Noosphere Network, which makes linked units stronger and cheaper. Their Commanders are Potentia Delta-9 and Skitarii Marshal Sek-Ix-23.
Blood RavensThe Blood Ravens are one of two playable Space Marine Chapters in Dawn of War 4, led by Captain Cyrus and Chief Librarian Jonah Orion. They return to Kronus, their old recruiting world, short of men and resources. Gabriel Angelos is left out on purpose.
CommandersDawn of War 4 names 10 Commanders: four Space Marines (two per Chapter) and two each for Orks, Necrons and Adeptus Mechanicus. In campaigns they are story characters; elsewhere they are generic faction units picked before a match and usually produced mid-match.
Dark AngelsThe Dark Angels are a playable Space Marine sub-faction in Dawn of War 4, led by Chaplain Ezrael and Company Master Astoran, with the Deathwing and Ravenwing as Elite units. Lion El'Jonson is billed as the first playable Primarch in a video game, in a small role.
Factions ComparedDawn of War 4 launches with four factions: Space Marines (with two Chapters, Blood Ravens and Dark Angels), Orks, Necrons and Adeptus Mechanicus. No best faction can be named yet, because the game is not out and no balance data or tier list exists.
NecronsThe Necrons in Dawn of War 4 expand slowly from a Tomb Citadel, spreading a Power Matrix that earns Dominion and strengthens units, and bring fallen units back free through Resurrection Galleries. Their Commanders are Chronomancer Thothmek and Ahmnok.
OrksThe Orks in Dawn of War 4 win through Waaagh!, a meter filled by Ork numbers and kills, plus cheap units, cheap armed buildings and fast Veterancy. Their Commanders are Warboss Gorgutz and Beastboss Guzcutta, and their Stratagems are free.
Space MarinesThe Space Marines in Dawn of War 4 are an elite faction of few, expensive units that grow through gear choices during a match. They field two Chapters and four Commanders, drop buildings from orbit, and move by Drop Pod and Thunderhawk Relay.
Units ListDawn of War 4 has more than 100 units and buildings, per KING Art, but no complete official list and no stats exist as of Oct 31, 2026. This page lists every unit a source has named, by faction, with KING Art's spelling where it differs from Wargamer's April roster.
