Diff - characters - Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV Wiki

11 The campaign of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV is carried by a cast of named characters drawn from across its Factions. The Space Marines field heroes from two Chapters, the Blood Ravens and the Dark Angels; the Orks are led by their own warlords; and the Adeptus Mechanicus make their series debut with their own named figures. Many of these characters serve as battlefield leaders, so see Commanders for how playable leaders work in combat. The Necrons have now revealed a named figure of their own as well.

33 A Primarch Enters the Game

55 The most notable figure is Lion El'Jonson, the Dark Angels Primarch, who becomes playable at the climax of the Space Marines campaign. He is billed as the very first playable Warhammer 40,000 Primarch to appear in any video game, making his inclusion a headline moment for the campaign.

3030 A note on one spelling. The official cast announcement prints the surname of the performer credited as Governor Augusta Vorn differently from how the performer spells it herself. This wiki uses the performer’s own spelling on both this page and Voice Cast.
