What are ultimate units in Dawn of War IV?

Each of the four launch factions caps its roster with an ultimate unit — a super-heavy, faction-defining battlefield centerpiece that represents peak tech and can swing whole matches. Three of the four are confirmed pre-launch; the fourth (Adeptus Mechanicus) is still under wraps.

How do the ultimates compare?

Honest pre-launch answer: flavor is confirmed, numbers are not. Cost, build requirements, HP, damage and ability kits will decide the real tier order — and this page will carry a verified comparison table, updated per balance patch, from launch week onward. Every stat on this site carries a last-verified date; we do not publish guessed numbers.

How do you counter ultimate units?

Counterplay notes arrive with launch-week testing: what each faction’s roster answers super-heavies with, from Eliminators sniper fire to Ork swarms to Necron attrition. The counter matrix will live here once verified. For per-unit stat pages across all ~64 multiplayer units, see the complete unit roster.

Are ultimate units in every mode?

Ultimates are part of each faction’s tech tree, so they appear wherever full tech is available — multiplayer, skirmish and campaign. Their role in The Last Stand survival depends on hero kits (Last Stand guide); their campaign appearances include scripted set-pieces — see the campaign guide and game modes.
