Pledge allegiance to the Orks in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III for macOS and Linux

In Dawn of War III, step into a brutal battle as one of three warring factions. Alternate between command of the Space Marines, Orks and Eldar in the single-player campaign, and command your favourite to wreak havoc in cross-platform multiplayer between macOS and Linux.

So who are the Orks?

They are brutal and cunning in equal measure – the products of a warlike society where bigger means stronger and stronger means MORE SHOOTY! Orks rely on strength in numbers, so commanding a WAAAGH means you must manage plenty of squads at once.

As the Orks, you can call up powerful Super Units like Beauty da Morkanaut. Equipped with a kustom mega-kannon for maximum carnage, the massive Morkanaut is loaded with an entire arsenal of weaponry - from twin-linked shootas to rokkit launchas. Explore this kunnin' brute in the 3D model below:

A new challenger approaches the Old World’s Maelstrom of conflict and chaos!

The Bhashiva Character Pack introduces a new Legendary Lord to the Grand Cathay. The Tiger Warriors are a proud, ancient martial culture, and sworn allies of the Dragon Lords of Cathay.
