Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus x Dawn of War IV Crossover Will Let You Rise with the Necrons

Yeah, Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus x Dawn of War IV crossover event is happening soon. Captain Cyrus of the Blood Ravens from another world of Warhammer 40K is joining the turn-based strategy world of Warhammer 40K.

It’s all to hype the release of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV

Releasing in September 2026 for PC via Steam, Dawn of War IV is an RTS title developed by KING Art Games. The Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus x Dawn of War IV crossover begins on May 28th, 2026, and runs until June 27th, 2026.

The multi-week event features a new campaign focused on the Necrons versus the Dark Angels. It introduces a new playable Machine of War, the Necron Canoptek Reanimator. And of course, Cyrus.

I think Cyrus is probably one of the more memorable Blood Ravens characters for a lot of people, mostly because he was never the loud chainsword guy charging first into combat. He was the sneaky one. True to his roots, in the crossover, he deploys deadly Haywire Mines.

He’s also getting an active ability called Strike from the Shadows. The move damages important enemy targets and marks them afterward, which then lets allied ranged units pile on bonus damage.

The game is adding Lion El’Jonson separately as a Guild Raid Boss on June 17th, 2026. The Lion is bringing the full might of Caliban into raids. The raid mechanics are for guild coordination, and his abilities supposedly punish players who don’t work together properly.

Meanwhile, the Necrons are getting a new character called Thothmek, who is a Chronomancer. He joins the game on May 31st and manipulates the fabric of time around nearby units while also blasting enemies with pure energy.
