Always Analysing. Always in Control.
Sydney, Australia, 8th May 2026: Deep Silver and KING Art Games revealed the second of four faction deep dive trailers, with the Adeptus Mechanicus bringing the cold logic and calculated destruction to the battlefield in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV.
Get a closer look at how the Adeptus Mechanicus send forth their engines of war, with the Machine God blessing every calculation in a new gameplay trailer:
Praise the Omnissiah!
Masters of the calculus of war, the Adeptus Mechanicus faction is relatively quick, great at ranged combat, and armed with a ton of combat tools that draw on their unique access to technology.
Leading their forces are two augmented commanders, each embodying a different aspect of the Omnissiah’s will. Players can choose between the Technoarcheologist, Potentia-Delta 9, or the Skitarii Marshal, Sek-Ix-23, tailoring their approach to domination on Kronus.
With a focus on precision, synergy, and overwhelming technological superiority, the Adeptus Mechanicus are not just engineers or scientists; they are instruments of war.
Whatever lies ahead, the Adeptus Mechanicus knows one truth: the holy Quest for Knowledge must not falter.
