"stormus trooperus" Who's naming these things?? Chuck Jones? XD It's a joke making fun of copious usage of faux latin in the new book. "Imperial Guard" is still often used in the book, by the way. It's just possibly the first time they used "high" name for a faction in...

Well, you can make several gears that improves his "main" ability if they take the same slot and add different effects, like LG buffs except tied to already existing basic ability instead of being separate abilities exclusive to each other.

Like it was pointed out in another thread, it's Mad Dok.
That said, Painboy is already there and I don't think it's a good idea to scrap him now, screwing with MU's of 3 heroes just to maaaaybe add 4th.

What Ace said. A wild speculation: possibly Chaplain isn't going to be the next primary commander to be added into Elite. It's kind of weird to focus on a character that may or may not be supported by UI. Another one is that Chaplain's envisioned concept looks like "LC goes SM". The announ...

Wait, forgive me for being ignorant, but let me clarify. Can terminators not level up? If so, what is the rationale behind it? It's not like they're some kind of super-unit like those Land Raiders. Here we go again, sir. Define super-unit please :) But seriosuly, stacked battleforces of 8000 HP cla...

Well, actually they tend to send ranged stuff flying in short order still, as far as I've seen.

Besides, Khorne Worship + unstoppable melee monster KCSM might cause... problems. Not to mention setups available in team games if enough melee units are commited. By the way, making KCSM go Kharn in combat only reinforces idea of them being roaming marauders rather than part of combat force. I'm n...

But anyways, I'd say that Elite mod Kasrkin already look quite close to scions (pretty sure GW just decided to expand the idea to fit other re...

If the intention is to allow KCSM to run about and cap stuff while forcing off most of what they encounter 1v1 like it was suggested before, then regen+KB immunity make sense as such squad would need some staying power and ignoring KB goes a long way when it comes to capping. They already have impro...

The statement that FC will need Artificier and level 2 was bugging me for some time, but I believe I've found a problem.

I have complained about that earlier. It removes counter-play. And the counter-play is move your vehicle and it won't be disabled. This is that kind of counterplay though that is almost always the same regardless of situation, compositions, and considering what DoW2 terain looks like, even position...

As Lothar have said it already, new visuals are made by "freelance" folks (so devs can't really boss them around and tell to do this or that instead of what they want), and it indeed probably helps that SM/Chaos get a lot of things pretty much because there are a lot of bits in the game ex...

Lolwat.
All this time I was thinking that termies get hp regen bump from 0,5 HP/sec to 1 HP/sec or 1,25 HP/sec or whatever, depending on unit.

Well, I'm starting to understand why people were "overreacting" to this change, or so I thought.

Chaos predator 'Mark of Nurgle' upgrade doesn't provide any healing for the unit. Can you please elaborate? I'm pretty sure the only "healing" it is supposed to do is 5 hp/s regen, and last time I've seen Nurgle pred, it was working. P.S. Every time I misread your name as a part of a post...

Good luck getting your request granted

Pretty sure highlighted part was intended.

It's definitely better this way as previously it looked not really "clean", but more like "flat". Speaking of the latter suggestion, I agree if you absolutely need to not let all the work go to waste. One thing I hated about Elite is all those cosmetic changes with no reason. I m...

I've checked my initial message and indeed, it looks like writing all that stuff in parentheses distracted me from completing the sentence
I appologize. I've also fixed that post so it causes no further confusions.

Anyway, the slow can go away, as far as I'm concerned. I would be mostly interested in the big anti SHI damage, which SM are missing currently (unlike snares). Well, that's a good reason why this shouldn't be on TM exclusively by the way. For one, his overloaded Plasma rifle qualifies for "big...

Only I'm quite sure that they don't ignore invulnerable saves... This is off-topic, but the thing is that on a roll of 6 they inflict Immobilized and remove hull point (IIRC). As per RAW, it's neither glancing nor penetrating hit (that yes, can lead to Immobilization and/or HP removal, but gravs by...

Honestly, "Ground pound" sounds like a WIP name for upgrade. Even something banal like "Veteran pilot" would be better.

All right. I've promised to make a list of them anyways

For those who don't know yet (if there are such people here at all :D). Lore-wise, grav-guns are Crusade-era weapons that use target's own mass against itself, although it is only capable of affecting limited space, so they are less effective against large targets despite their mass. Apparently, AdM...

Upgrade descriptions also could use some attention as they are in pretty much retail state Not sure what you mean, could you elaborate? Most descriptions are up to date. Ugh. Somehow I've forgotten to reply so far. What I mean is not that descriptions are outdated, but that they are as helpful as r...

So if you don't give a damn what we think why should we give a damn what you think? If you don't consider every detail then your not really balancing. Luckily Caeltos doesn't seem to think this way. The problem is that if we consider internal balance, KCSM don't look much better for the reasons sta...

You can't have any expectations from someone like that.

C'mon, that was clearly an oversight of a man who got handed remaining support exclusively to him and still had to do his main job.
Not that I condone the deed though

You re wrong. When you play on Dark - you gain access to some very interesting chapter specific armor sets like King-Slayer's-armor-set (and many other.) I disagree. Availability of new items hardly affects the way you play, and IMO it's gameplay basics that are lacking. 3 sets do nothing to fix th...

Some people believe that losing a Chainsword and Bolt Pistol Sergeant for Sternguard is a nerf for them since they wont fair well in melee hence the suggested change What I ask is if letting him back would really make them fare in melee good enough to make such act practical. All this change really...

More "braindead"? Can you explain yourself better? Chaos is notorious for having low entry barrier. It probably doesn't affect anybody posting on this forum, but it's well known. Adding marks for CSM that basically overlap with existing Chaos units not only serves little to no real purpos...

I'd rather prefer Chaos not becoming even more braindead, which is what will be achieved through some of those options.

156 then or w/e they did with the retreat in elite to stop specials procing on retreating units. I pretty much agree with this unless somebody points out why vechicles need another layer of protection from melee, both when vechicle pulls back or otherwise. Obviously, this shouldn't be applied to wa...
