Thothmek explains that he\u2019s setting out to reclaim Kronus, which was a Necron Tomb World long before the Space Marines, Orks, and Adeptus Mechanics stepped foot on it.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">This is the third of King Art Games\u2019 four in-game CGI narrative trailers for upcoming real-time strategy game Dawn of War IV, and while it perhaps doesn\u2019t beat the wonderful Orks CGI trailer (\u201cCRASH FASTER!\u201d), for me it\u2019s a step up from the disappointing Adeptus Mechanicus CGI trailer, which painted the normally deadly Necrons as worse shots than Star Wars Stormtroopers.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">This new trailer, though, makes the Necrons look as imposing and dreadful as they should. I particularly like the Necron bridge, which is dripping with Warhammer 40,000 cool as the xenos march to war. There\u2019s no action here, and I love that. Rather, the Necrons are relying on vibes as they prepare for war. There\u2019s a weight to their presence that helps get that across, I think. That, and plenty of green-hued alien tech you just know will be put to good use out on the battlefield.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Dawn of War IV contains four factions at launch: Space Marines, Adeptus Mechanicus, Necrons, and Orks, which means all we\u2019re waiting for now is the Space Marine CGI trailer. There\u2019s a lot of pressure on that one, given the Dawn of War series\u2019 history with iconic Space Marine CGI trailers. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV launches on PC on September 17, 2026. While you wait, be sure to check out my interview with the developers at King Art Games to find out what to expect.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Wesley is Director, News at IGN.
