Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4 - Mission 2: Xenos Threat Guide

Walkthrough

1
Begin by establishing your base near the defense cannon. Prioritize building Barracks and a Listening Post to secure initial resources and unit production.
2
As the first Ork waves approach, focus on producing a mix of basic infantry (e.g., Tactical Marines) and anti-infantry support (e.g., Heavy Bolters).
3
Defend the defense cannon by placing units strategically around it and utilizing any available defensive structures.
4
Once the initial assault is stabilized, begin expanding your base and capturing nearby strategic points to increase your resource income.
5
Produce heavier units such as Assault Marines or Dreadnoughts to counter Ork vehicles and stronger infantry.
6
Push out from your base towards the Ork encampments. Use your superior firepower and tactical positioning to systematically destroy their production buildings and strongholds.
7
Be prepared for counter-attacks from the Orks as you advance. Maintain a strong defensive line and reinforce your attacking forces as needed.
8
The final objective is to destroy all major Ork structures on the map, culminating in the destruction of their main base.

Tips

Keep a close eye on the defense cannon's health and ensure it is adequately protected at all times.
Utilize the special abilities of your units, such as the Space Marine's 'Rally' or the Dreadnought's 'Assault' ability, to turn the tide of battle.
Scout ahead to identify Ork attack routes and strong points.
Upgrade your units and buildings regularly to maintain an advantage in firepower and defense.
Conserve your resources by only producing units that are necessary for the current threat.
