Warhammer 40k Dawn of War

Yeah oh well, I dont really like the Dark Eldar, not because of all the tortoure stuff and all the grose stuff its just, a bit complicated and not my race. Ork have seem to be my favourite

 

my favorite race is caose but thas just me

 

Ah Ive only battled them, what makes You like them? I do like the Deflier burning and shredding people xD Spider version of the dradnought I think my favourite race is the Orks, most of their buildings can shoot, the War Boss is awesome and so is the infantry, the vehcles arnt bad for support and just overall good! I just got the Dark Crusade demo and was playing as the Tau Empire, their not bad! That blaista crysta something rocket launcher pwns!!

 

the best race if you have time on your hands is the necrons the fully awakend monolith is like a god on the battle feild

 

I guess the awakend monolith is that huge pyramid? I loled when I seen that thing kick ass Isnt it also the HQ? Then You can make it a killing machine that also produces units out on the field?!

 

That is correct.

 

Lolz I havent been half of the races, Ive only played Imperial Guard, Space Marines, Dark Eldar and Tau Empire. Space Marines are quite cool! Tau empire is just madness! Dark eldar is a no no and imperial is just boring but HEY thats just me and we are all differnt. I am defently looking forward to the orks, anyone got any tips for me? How does the WAAAGH banner and ork points work?

 

Imperial Guard boring? Have you tried out the Baneblade lol? And the Hellhounds special ability is almost an instakill when targeting infantry.

(the more WAAAGH banners you have, the better )

 

WAAAGH is probably the best fitting name for magic ever ;D

 

Yeah WAAAGH suits the orks HEAPS!! I am just about to recieve DoW, WA and DC! Sorry Gasmaskcat, ive only played the demo with the imperial guards, only lets You have up to the kasrkins, hellhounds and the walker things, hellhounds didnt have a ability tho What is the squad leader or whatever dude for??

 

He raises moral and gives an ability for it aswell (depending on race) also, he'll increase the squad's overall damage and/or health (depending on race)

 

But I cant add him to a squad, You can add other leaders with him but not him with a squad. I can add other leaders with squads as normal but not him :|

 

wait... first off, do you mean for space mairnes? and do you mean a guy that you buildf from a sepereate thing? or from the group directly?

 

I was being imperial guard, I dont be them anymore ( Not because of this reason ) I think hes called a squad commander or something, You make him alone, and You click on him and You can make 4-5 differnt units to make him a squad like the commisar.

 

with a commisar and any other leader unit you build from your main building as imperial gaurd, at the bottom of that thing that has the reinforce button on it, there should be a red arrow, you left click that, then left click on the squad you want him to join

As for effects, commisars add morale to your group, they add the 'execute' ability which kiills one of your troops, but fully replenishes your squad's morale ( this may seen bad, but trust me, the amount of damage your squad loses on its attacks will be worth alot more than 1 troop, so use if whenver your squad is broken.

As for the preist, he gives your squad the ability to go temporarily invincible, and also gives them a damamge/health boost (they are both much greater than the commisars boosts

And last is the psycher, he doesn't give your squad any boosts, but they're fragile, so you should keep em in aquads so that the dont die, because their speel are VERY powerful and helpful.

And the Vindicare assassin is what youthink, an assassin... so he can't go in groups, but you should get his invisibility ASAP, as its very useful for being sneaky

Ok, thats it for me, if you already knew all that, sorry
If you didn't or if someone else is new at IG, good luck to you

 

I know but the squad command I think he is cant reinforce, what does he do?

 

Oh.... The Squad Command.... *slaps himself

Ok! The squad command is basically your leader, equivalent to the Space Marine's Force Commander, but the individual squad command guy isn't nearly as good as the Force Commander, that's why you must reinforce him, because he's suposed to work with a team, which you create by reinforcing the squad just as you would with normal troops like an Imperial Gaurd unit. I usually go with the combination of my leader, 2 priests (for damage/health upgrades and temporary invincibility) and 2 psychers (for INSANE amounts of damage)

As for the use of this unit over others, they are your only actual dedicated melee units as Imperial Gaurd, so their great for going up against other melee units so that your ranged units dont get tangled up with enemy units that will rip them apart, also, since they're the leader unit, they get a TREMENDOUS bonus in damage against 'Epic' units (e.g. Squiggoth, Land Raider, Baneblade, Bloodthirster) basically the really good units

And if I got what you were trying to say wrong again... sorry

But it's kinda hard to understand what 'I know but the squad command I think he is cant reinforce, what does he do?' part, paticularly the 'I think he is cant reinforce'

 

Yes the command squad is the guards main commander. I find him to work best if there is a place where the other persons units are getting funneled and than you call in an air strike very devastating.On another note, to get a good balance in your command squad, I like too have one psyker( for seeing infiltrated units) one commissar(nice to have morale and hes a good shooty units) and than 2 priests(gotta love not getting killed). Hope that helped!

 

Ok Ive got DoW, Orks are great and chaos marines are pritty cool! Eldar are...not my kind of race and space marines I can always play! It is a great game But I dont think ill get DC or WA, maybe later on.

 

i was playing dawn of war last night and found out that the necron monolith can teleport!! that is just awesome the only problem with the necrons is there vehicles suck.
