Or is it just Dawn of War?

If you mean, "does their armor have a slightly different communication system from normal power armor, giving their voices a different tone?" The answer is, probably.

"We are the servants of the righteous" sounds better in deeper tones.
So, yes. Yes they do.

Rule of Cool > logic + reality

It is the same in Dawn of War 2 and Regicide.

In fact, it's something that is surprisingly consistent in 40k material.

Relic made Warhammer 'come alive' but now they've lost it. I guess Regicide's devs are just continuing the tradition.

It's possible that Regicide had no real idea what Terminators were supposed to sound like, and just copied Relic.

Though, copying Relic for 40k might not be the worst idea...

Are there worse ideas?

Hire Mike Tyson as the voice actor for the Terminators.

Hire Tommy Wiseau as the voice actor for the Terminators.

I'd like him to either be the voice of commissars or the emperor.

Suddenly the Heresy makes so much sense.

'You are TEARING ME APART, Horus!'

There's nothing illogical about it. Different armor, different communication tech.

I always imagine Terminators with Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice.

I really want to hear Space Marine dialog voiced by Gilbert Gottfried.

That would be hilarious! On the same level as when he read '50 Shades of Grey' for YouTube. That man makes me wet myself with laughter just by talking!

This... I did not know I needed this in my life, but now I know it will be incomplete until I have it.

Why not? The Imperium, especially the Space Marines, are incredibly dramatic. Just about everything is designed with heavy artistic/symbolic meaning behind it - their ships are cathedrals! It makes sense that Terminators and Dreadnoughts would specifically have systems that make their voices more intimidating (though, in the case of Dreadnoughts it's probably a synthetic voice) because it makes them seem more imposing and powerful. They love stuff like that.
