Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV gets a new CGI trailer featuring the Blood Ravens and Dark Angels ahead of its December 3 launch.

Deep Silver and KING Art Games have launched a new CGI trailer showing off the Space Marines of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV and introducing their unlikely partnership between the Blood Ravens and Dark Angels.

In the trailer we see the opening salvoes of the battle for Kronus, as the Blood Ravens struggle against a stronger enemy before reinforcements arrive in the form of the Dark Angels.

The Blood Ravens have history with the planet Kronus. Used as a recruitment world for many years, when the Great Rift suddently began tearing through worlds across the galaxy Jonah Orion and Captain Cyrus alongside their forces find themselves stranded without any chance of reinforcement.

A battle hardened Blood Ravens squadaire returns to Kronus seeking much needed recruits. Instead they’re immediately dragged into combat facing wave after wave of xenos forces. It isn’t long until the Chapter are struggling to stand a chance.
