I estimate that £100,000's worth of Warhammer miniatures were slain in Dawn of War 4's new trailer

Watch each 4 factions footwear the snot retired of each other

In the grim acheronian of the acold future, determination is lone Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4's latest trailer, successful which an full nerd cave's worthy of miniatures spanning each 4 in-game factions are gibbed, gutted and burned successful astir 90 seconds.

Somewhat to my surprise, this is the archetypal clip I've watched a Warhammer videogame and tried to cipher the bodycount successful presumption of tabletop figurine prices. My pen-and-paper estimates are profoundly upsetting, and that was earlier I looked astatine Games Workshop's existent catalogue - I deliberation for the archetypal clip since 1999 - and adjusted my figures for inflation. Do immoderate of you play carnal Warhammer tabletop games close now? How does that equilibrium out, exactly? Do you conscionable benignant of... not bargain food?

Anyway, traumatic spreadsheeting aside, this is simply a heck of a trailer. The Blood Angels deed the signifier archetypal and are instantly waylaid by the Orcs, who are themselves flanked by the Adeptus Mechanicus, who are past pounced upon by the Necrons. It's similar watching 4 drunk cosplayers trying to propulsion disconnected a barbershop quartet, but past idiosyncratic elbows idiosyncratic successful the codpiece, and it rapidly descends into a squelchy scrum of radical slurring "FOR THE AMPERSAND". We besides get to spot a spot of base-building, on with plentiful glimpses of the HUD.

With Dawn Of War 4, caller developers KING ART Games aren't truthful overmuch angling guardant into the grimdark aboriginal arsenic harkening backmost to Relic's archetypal Dawn Of War. They've already shared a spot astir however they're gathering connected the archetypal game's strategy mechanics, portion mostly avoiding the taxable of Dawn Of War 3. The caller crippled is retired successful 2026.
