The problem is you make with this decision even more powerful the Chaos opening, which except massive failures can win almost against every race in the first battle. Lictor Alpha has 50 dps, FC has 40 dps, Hive Tyrant has 43 dps, Warboss has 42 dps and so on. It's not a huge amount, but you make go...

Nurgle worship was nerfed pretty hard in Elite, +0.5 to +0.35 regen iirc. Almost halved!

I appreciate your splat fetish Max, and it does look good, I just wanted the map to look like it had only seen fighting for a day or so. Supplies hastily dropped in, some rudimentary defences erected, etc.

Yes correct, only your own squads. Much like heretic worship only affects your own. I was too lazy to keep typing "Slaanesh" every time.

NOTE: When you said Champion's unit I understand ONLY the Aspiring Champion units, not the Aspiring Champion units + rest of the squad. Literally no idea what this means. Slaanesh worship I wanted the "pleasure and pain" theme to come through, hence all the debilitating trade-offs. Shrine...

Catalyst is on 1 squad only though. While this is on multiple squads... Yeah but how many melee squads will you have realistically? AC Tics, MoK CSM +1 more maybe? Perhaps a Bloodcrusher too? Remember during that time your Havocs/ranged CSM/NM/PM and any tanks/ranged Dreads and even your Phobos are...

What I meant is that there is a fourth spot to use. The Brother-Captain just happens to change the roster also. 100% damage buff sounds high, but it's only melee damage and Catalyst does the same thing but to ALL damage with a different downside (losing HP). Catalyst also has two very powerful units...

I think you confused Slaanesh with Tzeentch, Slaanesh has little to do with sorcery in general and Ahriman has little to do with Slaanesh.

np!

In general I like open maps, but was sure to dot around some LoS blockers to reward some melee play through the mid.

I wanna see this guy! Some thoughts:

Default DPS seems a bit high.

Pleasure Tome I think could use an increased purchase cost and/or cooldown, it's an engagement winner. Instantly shut down WS/ranged Terms/Flash Fits/Reapers etc, etc. Or balance it by having the targetting radius be short.

In response to DJ Raffa's great Slaanesh sub-commander proposal, I thought I'd gather some of my ideas for a fourth Chaos commander. I've been quietly hoping for fourth commanders since the Space Marines got the Brother-Captain and I saw it was possible. Although a major undertaking, fourth commande...

Added some extra shot blockers and a little more cover to some power points (mid natural, contested west, contested east) to aid against the potential proliferation of movement in those areas. You gotta remember that you can't pack power points too tightly or you'll block generator construction, esp...

Immense!

Can't really see anyone giving up all that the Chimera gives you for a Bane Wolf, even if the upgrade was free.

I'd like to see this unit in some form. They've had this model for a while though and haven't implemented it, so I'm assuming Caeltos has some grander balance reason for not doing so.

Well derp.

Pretty sure the Librarian starts with 800 HP. Even if he can tank more. If you lose Apo you can rebuy him for 250req-Libby is 350-60. Apo has higher DPS. With purification rites he can counter many t1 melee units. Or spam heals on himself in fight. How does the Apo have more DPS? Maybe if he's level...

This is balance discussion is it not? Secondly I have not noticed any topic of this before nor have I heard there ever was so I chose to make my own. Because I moved it here, Yarrick. Check the edit message on the first post. There are discussions of these things in their faction's topics, not hard...

AFAIK towers don't provide synapse anymore, just the speed and sight radius buffs.

There are already threads discussing both of these things so I don't know why you made another, and in the wrong section.

The tower effects don't stack iirc, that was old behaviour.

I don't think they can be balanced by mere cost adjustments, 50 Red perhaps, but that doesn't solve the core issue. They make Tyranids arguably the most mobile faction in the game, for little cost and little risk. This can become pretty nuts when you have 2 or 3 Nids players all being affected by th...

Not sure what would cause this if you have the latest version. Are you sure you have 2.1 and not 2.0.10?

I'm sure Caeltos and Lulgrim would love to add more factions, but neither of them are modellers and nobody has made Necron models. Grey Knights were added because someone (Bloodravage) made all their models already, and they could use sound assets etc from Space Marines. Necrons would probably need ...

Might wanna lighten it a bit so that it pops a bit more as the smaller version:



Awesome artwork though!

Host some yourself.

Oh a black box? That means the model is missing, not just textures. Try reinstalling. Not sure what would cause that, everything should be in 2.1.

I think he just means that the textures for the weapon aren't as detailed as the rest of the chassis. They aren't "missing", just not as good. Steam\steamapps\common\dawn of war ii - retribution\GameAssets\Locale\English Grab the ELITE.ucs and put it into whatever Locale directory you use ...

They have the same radius now (25) iirc

I just think Maiden Forums looks butt-ugly. A chaotic mish-mash of asset themes, too much weather just for the sake of it and questionable point placement.
