Well, coming back to this, I found myself wondering is it possible to change attack speed? Make the swords attack slower? If not, maybe the change could still be made but with more balancing factors (so much for making this purely aesthetic). With the spear-warlocks doing more damage per hit, what a...

So this is an idea I had, not something I am making right now or planning to ever make myself. Simply put, I think the members of the seer council look too uniformed and identical, and, for purely aesthetic reasons, I would love it if they would have varied models, like the Sternguard or Vanguard, b...

Ranger Shuriken Pistol increased from 22 to 28

I am assuming this means the range of the pistols? Or have I missed that those guys were carrying over 20 pistols the entire time?

Am i right in thinking the main thing standing in the way of adding new races is the lack of units/models? Probably. A lot of infantry for DE should have pretty good base from stuff already in DoW2 that could be done, mostly from other eldar (and there already was a kabalite and an archon from a gu...

Random thoughts/musings on stuff that could be done with Dark Eldar if they were implemented: - In addition to having varied sources for Damage over Time, another "theme" could be better health regen. The health of a kabalite warrior could be somewhere in between a heretic and a dire aveng...

There is the alternative of a flamer/melta mode switch on fire dragons. Oh right, completely forgot them! The Exarch could have a flamer-option, maybe as an upgrade or as a standard weapon? Nobody remember that the Fire Dragon Exarch can have a Flamer because nobody ever use it in TableTop. Literal...

no rear armour hits, low health... how low health are we talking about? considering vehicle mechanics in DoW2, would it make the vehicles effectively unusable? I was thinking that a venom could have similar health to a sentinel (don't remember how much that would be exactly, though) as well as have...

I just had such a funny idea I wanted to say it. (I may have said this before in my walls of text earlier, dunno...) DE vehicles can't get rear-armour hits. They are sleek craft made from cardboard that die to a stiff breeze, so it shouldn't matter if a lascannon hits it through the front, side or r...

I think what DE can bring to the game is the use of combat drugs. On demand boosts, Like fleet of foot but better. I see the Archon with a melee retinue but unlike the lord general, his purpose is to tie up. A kinda tanky hero with retinue that can be re-inforced in field. The kabalite warrriors sh...

Another choice is that if there is an upgrade to special wych-weapons (like hydra gauntlets, although the razorflails are my favourite), the model wearing that weapon could be modified to look male for the variety.! Ok that would be sexist :-P. How about the default units are male and the upgraded ...

To be fair, wyches are also male. Howling Banshees can be male too but they are more universally female and it wouldn't be as easy to tell with the aspect armour anyway (ehm... What? Men can have boobplates too!) So having male wych-models would be interesting too. I don't know how difficult it is a...

Could be something. I am pretty sure that something like that is possible, because the orks have a slow gain of the red resource automatically, so I can't imagine it would be too difficult to reverse. I could be wrong there though. No idea can you start a game with red, that could be something a lit...

http://puu.sh/bV1rt/e4afbae3fd.jpg Dark Archon is finished now. Shuma is da bozz. Breathtakingly beautiful. In terms of units I think the Talos pain engine would fit well as the walker in their ranks. Heavy suppressive effects whenever it kills an infantry model (regenerating its own health? Haha) ...

Hellions and/or the beastpack would be interesting. Neither of them have anything like them already in the game, but they could both work. Work better than jetbikes, at least.

Previously, Heretics wouldn't "aim" with their autopistols and instead just shoot out of their stomach. They now actually aim with their guns and fire, included with audio. http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140202005512/glee/images/c/c1/Hallelujah2.gif Hallelujah! Is this something inc...

This has been bothering me for a day or two so I am bringing it up now. I saw it. I played the Retribution campaign with Eldar again... no real reason. It was either the fourth or fifth mission, I already forgot. The one where you are first at the ice planet. I saw a heretic standing, firing his pis...

Sorry, I had to collect my jaw from the ground.
And I think my eyes slightly went out of their sockets as well.

Indeed, I am also interested what other factions do you have plans for!

I want DE in the game but I can understand if you are thinking about Tau first. And I would love to see them in as well.

Heck, if you make a kroot-commander, I would play Tau half the time I play Elite.

The Exarch could have a flamer-option, maybe as an upgrade or as a standard weapon?

Would be interesting to have D-Scythes available for the wraithguard. Eldar don't have any flamers and the best options I see are either those or a flamer-upgrade to replace the shuriken catapult on the wraithlord.

* Vox Operator melee dps increased from 2 to 4 Finally! For long we have waited for the vox operator to be worth it. We will now be seeing him a lot more, and I will be careful to come near him from now on with my squishy banshees. ...Anyway. The amount of experience from a sentinel is the same amo...

I would be interested on having DE and Tau as a new race, although new commanders would be great too (especially for GK ofc).

As far as the bike-discussion goes, I just think this isn't the right game for them. As much as I love Reaver Jetbikes, they don't fit in Dawn of War.

Of course ^^

I don't know exactly who made any of the schemes who are currently in elite, but I just meant that eldar don't have any.

Slightly off-topic, but... http://puu.sh/b44Bj/ca28c0e823.jpg Saim-Hann Elite-scheme? So yeah, the vehicles would definitely be the toughest thing to do.

Yeah again, a lot of thought is appreciated but you are rushing ahead, you haven't considered that these units might not be in the game. Please refrain from things like models and animations until we have a full list drawn out (which can't happen until we have discussed how Dark Eldar work). I know...

So, I wanted to talk about what kind of models for the dark eldar units could be done. That Dark Eldar warrior looks great and it was made from a guardian, apparently, so that is an obvious answer. This goes for trueborn as well. For other units, wyches are best made from another female-melee squad ...

Good-looking stuff.

Okay, next up, I thought about global abilities. The Power from Pain is a tough call, and there are indeed numerous ways to implement it. Orks already have Waaagh! on about every unit, so having an ability for it on each unit wouldn't be impossible or silly. My suggestion is a T1 global skill. Since...
