Nids commanders (not balance related)

Postby SarDauk » Wed 20 Jun, 2018 10:50 pm

An easy lore friendly thing that could be done is changeing the lictor alpha and ravenor alpha names by Deathleaper and Trygon, with some appropriate modifications of the model.
I know Elite already made the same thing for guardians changed to dire avengers. So if you have the time and people, this would be a nice touch.

Deathleaper could work, but Trygons are huge monstrous creatures.

I think broodlord could be easily add as a subcommander (mb for a genestealer cult thing ?) btw in Dow2 you've the Codex edition mod with a Trygon (and a skin on IG to make them looks like genestealer cultist ;D)

Why would the name be changed for such iconic heroes for DOW2 so late into the game's release? It's just unnecessarily obfuscatory. Ordo Malleus was far more important of a name change to exlpain the thematic and design choices relating to that race yet very few people call OM OM right now and still just say "GK" so...

I vote no.
Lets make Ordo Malleus great again!

Same reason than Guardians was replaced by dire Avengers; lore.
But I understand your point it would be a little bit confusing for some times :/
