No Necrons?

Lol. Seriously though, this looks amazing, and since M$ has decided to forgo gamers, I would be getting this for PS4 or PC.

Dark Eldar We have no models, no animations... and maybe they are too much similar to Eldars but (AFAIK) even more glass cannon and more focused in debuff the enemy instead of buffed themselves. Tau We have models, and they could use some IG animations. The problem is maybe they are too much ranged...

i would like adeptus mechanicus btw :) Not another IoM faction lol. I like the AM, but would they (again, all hypothetical here) add anything unique to the game? My guess is they would seem very similar to the IG in terms of vehicle usage. Sure a Titan super unit would be cool, but how would you pi...

Do you have a faction you would like to see added?

Okay question for the higher tier players and the mod elders: In the hypothetical situation where ONE new faction could be added, complete with models, animations, effects, ect. What would you feel would fit the current meta game the best? From the looks of it, the current factions are fairly balanc...

OP because of the health per kill? We can drop that if need be.

Alright what about this: A new global call in for Chaos that brings in a unit unique to each hero? This call in would be avalible tier 2 (or three depending on whether you want the units to be stronger) and would grant a 'themed' chaos unit. Chaos Socerer would get 'true' ruberic marines. Use the ex...

Sorcerer without doubt, despite what you could hear it has a good early game if you use his abilities propely, and it has most of the powerful engagment-changing abilities late game. Yeah I figured as much. Typically I do better with the CS vs PC but I don't use the Tzench worship or shines with CS...

Alright now I'm torn. I have played several games as both the Chaos Sorcerer and the Plague Champion, and have had moderate success with each. But I need to focus on one over the other in order to improve my game, but I don't know which one to pick. Out of the two heroes, which is the better overall...

I'm working in a T2 Plague Bolter with only DOT damage, (i even have the model almost finished!) and in a third armour with bonus in the ranged weapons and something more to give to the PC a full ranged build and maybe a bit more strategic one. But still needs some work if i want to present it to C...

MCB only gives TM a +2.92 DPS. It is mostly the ability that makes it worthy. We could think about an ability for a Nurgle bolter. To increase PC ranged damage sounds risky as far as OPness is concerned, especially combined with his other anti-melee wargears and Nurgle worship. I'll be ok with a lo...

Alright forget CSM and PM then, what about a way to let heroes get back their default weapon after purchasing something else? I am speaking this mostly out of my experience with the PC; his default DoT Bolter is awesome, but sometimes against melee swarms or high model, low hp squads I get the Sword...

Hey, I have another awesome (IMO) match I just uploaded. http://www.gamereplays.org/dawnofwar2/replays.php?game=47&show=details&id=283037 I think I selected the right version for Elite on this one lol. Anyway, I have been mostly trying out the CS, trying to get better with him, but this game...

Ah cool, so its technically possible.

Why would you think it wouldn't be a good change though?

It would make double CSM builds almost mandatory.

Good point.

Lulgrim would it be technically possible to remove the missile launcher from plague marines, lower the cost and put it as an upgrade instead? Yes of course. CSM do not have room in their upgrade column for more stuff. they have EW, MoT, MoK, and a sarge; that is 4. Also not a technical problem. I d...

Ah, I didn't notice that. Oh well, it was a good suggestion anyways.

Make Plague Marines an upgrade for CSM rather than a separate unit. Don't wanna seem like I'm beating on you...but let me strongly disagree here. Cos: a) I'm not a fan of changing what's not broken b) No balance reason to change them c) Smells distinctly of fluff not balance reasoning Make certain ...

Suggestion #1: Make Plague Marines an upgrade for CSM rather than a separate unit. Why? Give the Chaos player a little more flexibility (AV-wise) while at the same time freeing up T2 for potential future units. I know I'm not in top tier player skill, but I was just thinking about how SM tac squads...

Thanks for the tips and pointers, I was impressed with this game, as I usually end up locked into my base with no units. This was the first game I played that felt like (sorta) an actual game and not an exercise in losing lol.

Okay I have an account with Gamereplays.org and I have uploaded my replay, do I need to make a separate post about it in the Replays section of the forums here? P.S. here is the link to the replay. http://www.gamereplays.org/dawnofwar2/replays.php?game=47&show=details&id=282845#/replay_overv...

Hey were would I go, and how would I go about uploading a replay for a cast? Just had an epic (IMO) 3 vs 3 game, and some players suggested I upload it for consideration. Any tips on what need to do would be most helpful; who knows; it might be good enough to make it into an Indrid, Radically Dreami...

Well, assume one artist would work for a few thousand $ a month, and we would need a few of them working for a few months... You can see where this is going, I hope. @Ctan Unless you're willing to stump up ~$10K don't raise necrons as a topic again thx Otherwise I shall put $20 a month towards payi...

It's illegal to use the DOW assets in DOW 2? Even for a free to use mod? Well its probobly a good thing I can't mod then, because I would have been pulling over the Necrons first chance I got lol. Hmm... Okay, so we can't use the old assets (I don't know why, it's the same universe, from a game by t...

What about the models/animations from the first DoW? I know next to nothing about modding the game, so is there a reason why one couldn't pull some of the models over from the first game? Obviously the models would look very low quality compared to the shinier DoW 2 ones, but couldn't the models/ani...

I really have no idea. I have absolutely no knowledge of video game production and I've never even studied anything remotely connected to computers. That said, Legion of the Luled customized chapter? One guy with modeling & texturing skills could do it in a few weeks I think. Necrons faction? W...

I know the team doesn't really have any modelers or animators to add the factions/units that are constantly requested, and I don't know anyone who has experience in those areas, but what if we, the DOW 2 Elite community pooled money and hired some animators, and modelers to add the requested stuff f...

Would it be OP if such a wargear were available in tier 1 though?

yes, but t2 would be fine. LA would be an absolute bitch in 1v1s if he could always walk around cloaked from t1 onwards.

What about a detection wargear in tier 1, OP as well?

What about a wargear for the LA that removes energy drain from infiltrate? The Kommando Nob has such a wargear as well as one that gives him an Orky version of Deadly Jump, so why not level the playing field? Too overpowered?

Sorry, I meant what damage type does Toxin Miasma give the LA (heavy melee, power melee, ect.)? I didn't know that it did slight DoT though, I thought it was only damage reduction. But from where I stand (from my noobie level) it seems all the other weapon upgrades for the LA are not worth it compar...
