Some notes on the glossary.

bc= bloodcrusher
BC= Brother Captain

CL= Chaos Lord
LC= Lord Commissar

hb= Heavy Bolter

GU used to be Guardians. Not guardsman. (now DA= Dire Avengers)
gm= guardsman

KN= Kommando Nob

LR= Leman Russ

The land raiders are all abbreviated separately
LRR
LRP
LRC

WB only means Warboss.
Weirdboy was tried to be abbreviated as WeBo by some peeps.
But I don't think it has a widely used abbreviation.

change "Zoan" to just "Zoa"


Keep up the awesomeness!

:D Thanks, I'll make some changes.

LRR
LRP
LRC


Sometimes when talking about a particular race, people just say LR. I added the 3 letter abbreviation in front of each. Hopefully that's alright.

And any other additions would be appreciated. It's hard to remember all of them from memory, and out of context. :)

And obviously, a lot of the abilities are still not in it.

How about

asscan (assault cannon, either terminator or dreadnought)
assterms (assault terminators)

or am I the only person that uses those? :D

charge (can refer to the periodic increase in speed that most melee units receive when attacking another unit within a certain range - often referred to as a "passive charge" - or an active ability that causes a unit to accelerate in a straight line towards a designated spot, knocking over and damaging units in its path - often referred to as a "charge ability")
FTE or FtE (For the Emperor, Force Commander global ability)
Nuke (Generally refers to the bombardment style ability that each race has access to in tier 3 for 500 red e.g. Space Marine Orbital Bombardment, Imperial Guard Valkyrie Rocket Run, Tyranid Tyrannoformation, etc.)
T1/T2/T3 (Tech level; Tier 1, 2, and 3, respectively)

Even though GUs aren't in the game anymore, a lot of people still use the term when referring to DAs so it wouldn't be a bad idea to include it

troll section
Angry Mr. Potato Head (Diomedes)
Nurse, zoggin' (Apothecary)
tact (adroitness and sensitivity in dealing with others or with difficult issues)
turrent (indicates user is suffering from brain damage)

edit: While less frequent, stikks can sometimes refer to the KNob accessory
edit2: removed Jedi since it's literally 2 posts right above mine :?
edit3: A?WD (Aiming? Wot's Dat?, ork big shoota suppression ability)

I have never seen anyone use the ones in bold.

Also, cc is usually crowd control in my environment ^^


@Arbit. Who uses the "?" Just: AWD.

Riku I've seen people use AWD, A?WD, and A?WD? AWD is almost certainly more common but IMO there's no harm in including all three (under the same heading of course).

Personally, I think it's a good idea to include as many entries as possible as long as they are not utterly ridiculous, like CMWITtBB or something (Carry Me While I Tech to Baneblade). People can use context to figure out which definition applies in the case of Crowd Control/Close Combat.

Ultimately, it's up to the editor of the glossary.

Seen people use AB for 'Ard Boyz. I supposed Angry Bitz get more commonly referred to as bitz or just with the whole name.

As for the Chaos armor upgrades they are not used but thought to add the abbreviations anyway since some of the armor names are kinda longish.

Also I've seen HF used for Heavy Flamer. I suppose Combi is more popular abbreviation for Combi-Lamer.

Regarding CC, I have seen it used for crowd cuntroll, close cumbath and crushing klaus.

I just use AT for Assault Lulminators and AC for assault cannon of aspiring champignon depenging on the context. I have used assterms or analterms too.

Zerganids are up (no, not UP). No stats, cost or leveling tabs for now. And added some more stuff to the glossary.

No buildings yet, either.

Eldar commanders are up. No stats tabs, but they do have leveling tabs (yay, miracle).

The links to the WSE deathspinners weapon pages from the "weapons" tab aren't working, but they are on the weapon list, so you'll have to find them like that for now.

I think CC is pretty standard for Crowd Control in gaming - melee (locked in melee) would be more often used I'd think? I hear the latter more often.

Well, all of the defintions of it are posted anyway. If someone uses it for something different, it should probably be up there.

Update again: Eldar units are up. And they all have a "leveling" tab! (except for guardian weapon team) yay. No stats tabs though.

Check through it for fun or to make sure I didn't screw up, and if I did, mention it here.

One thing about the SM codex. FC SS has wrong info there. It gives 100 health, increases melee damage to 44,62 dps. Currently it states that the SS gives 200 health and no mention of the dmg increase.

Does this say that mark of khorne upgrade makes the main cannon worse? Where are the values of mark of khorne heavy bolters?

It's because the MoK upgrade gives a % damage buff. It's a pretty stupid mechanic and I'll make it change the weapons instead (when I get around to it).

Made a thing.

http://www.dawnofwar.info/index.php?page=elite/eldritch

Give any feedback on what to add/change.

Not sure how the coordinates fit into the game, but it's probably relative to the default camera angle. Anyone who knows better please confirm or deny.

Hey Windu could you add the damage of melee weapons special attacks as well? Would be interesting to see. 8-)
