In Warhammer 40,000 there are fanatical tech nerds – Dawn of War 4 lets you play as them and shows what they can do

Ein Tech-Priester des Adeptus Mechanicus aus Warhammer 40.000: Dawn of War 4

In the Imperium of Mankind from Warhammer 40,000, there is a group of deadly tech nerds whose order is responsible for some of the strongest weapons and war machines of the Imperium. In Dawn of War 4, you will be able to play them right at release, and an initial CGI trailer now shows what to expect.

What is this order? These tech nerds belong to the so-called Adeptus Mechanicus. This group is – alongside Space Marines, Orks, and Necrons – one of the four playable factions in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4, the latest installment in the RTS series that has existed since 2004. 

In a cinematic trailer, the developers of Dawn of War 4 now showcase the Adeptus Mechanicus in action. During this, they appropriately encounter some Necrons – an alien species of machine beings. 

Here you can see the cinematic trailer for the Adeptus Mechanicus in Dawn of War 4:

Tech Fanatics with Deadly War Machines

What can the Adeptus Mechanicus actually do? It consists of the best engineers and scientists of the Imperium and is one of its 6 most dangerous organizations. This is no surprise: after all, the Adeptus Mechanicus holds a monopoly on all knowledge that exists within the Imperium.

The Adeptus Mechanicus manufactures some of the most powerful weapons of the Imperium. These include the Titans – huge, heavily armored walkers with great firepower. The order also possesses an army of augmented cyborg soldiers called Skitarii, equipped with ray weapons.

The Tech-Priests themselves (as the followers of the Adeptus Mechanicus are actually called) are also not harmless civilians, but true killing machines. Over the years, they replace many of their own body parts with mechanical components or even give themselves several new limbs.

Also seen in the trailer are so-called Servo-Skulls – floating skulls with built-in scanners and sensors. These are already known from the first Dawn of War, where they were used as scouts to scout the map. Some real Tech-Priests have even built a functioning Servo-Skull, although no real human skull was used in the process.

Then do it like this before the link: “There is still no release date for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4. However, about a month ago, one of the developers spoke about a feature that has already excited some initial testers: Dawn of War 4 aims to take a feature of the original to the next level – making it so good that first players want to spend more time with it right away
