I don't get to play much Warhammer anymore, not in tabletop or in any of the video games. But I love CGI trailers so much, and this one looks so good.
18:00 CEST – 20 April 2026: Deep Silver and KING Art Games revealed the second of four in-game CGI narrative sequences for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV, this time focusing on the Adeptus Mechanicus and their relentless pursuit of ancient technology.
The Adeptus Mechanicus CGI Overview
Following on from the previous CGI chapter, each cinematic serves as an introduction to one of the four playable factions. This time, the focus shifts to the Adeptus Mechanicus, the Omnissiah’s devoted servants, driven by an unrelenting pursuit of knowledge and ancient technology.
- The Adeptus Mechanicus CGI trailer follows Magos Dominus Nulpherus-1 and a fellow tech priest as they descend into what they believe to be a long-buried Necron tomb, driven by their pursuit of lost knowledge. At first, the structure appears dormant, its secrets waiting to be uncovered...
- ...but the deeper they go, the clearer it becomes: the tomb is not as silent as it seems
- Necron forces begin to awaken, turning a calculated exploration into a chaotic firefight within the collapsing ruins. With the situation rapidly spiralling out of control, Magos Nulpherus-1 is forced into a fighting retreat
- Salvation comes in the form of Sicarian Ruststalkers, cutting through the darkness as the Adeptus Mechanicus make their escape. What starts as a mission of discovery quickly becomes a battle to survive
