Grey Knight Heroes

[sterling]

Having seen the new UI fix by donttouchmycrumpets, here if you've not had a look yet...
http://www.dawnofwar.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=555

...it got me thinking if this is now possible then does it not warrant consideration of two new heroes for the Inquisition.

I'm not going to put balance ideas out there as that's not my area so will leave that to others more qualified but rather wanted to start a discussion on what could be used if it happens.

I guess models are my area, so here's a couple of ideas that at the very least have a model to go with them.

Sanctioned Psyker


Inquisitor Lord


What other ideas are floating around?

[Orkfaeller]

I'd really love to see a Daemon Hunter Inquisitor as second commander choice for Grey Knights. Did alot of day dreaming about it, in fact;

I think Indrid thought that guy looked a bit too space-marine-y though, in his proportions. Wonder if it would be possible to put Power Armour pieces onto a IG model to get a less bulky but still power armored result.

Regarding the first screenshot; I think Cealtos once hinted that he wanted to include that model as a Primaris Psyker Sub Commander for IG; not sure if he dropped that idea, or if its still going.

[Torpid]

I crave a psyker for IG so badly. So much that could do.

GK heroes would be awesome.

[Dark Riku]

Copy/paste inquisitor? :p (Minus Bane and trooper drop)
Would be interesting to see all GK heroes have different nukes. :p

Would love if GKs had something exterminatus inspired.


Opening with a light, scattered orbital barrage, like small Ork Rokks,
and ending with a giant Planet Cracker Torpedo coming down right at the center.
Huge damage right where it hits, not alot of AOE-damage but huge knockback, knocking everything on the screen on their asses.

16,000,000 damage to all units on the map, destroy all terrain and buildings, and end the game.

lol. already the Inquisitor has the purgatus armor that does something similar to that

[HandSome SoddiNg]

Inquisitor lord is cool , i still prefer the Purifier brotherhood champion over Sanctioned pysker

At the 'Game Over Screen" it needs to say, "The Emperor has won'

But seriously speaking, in terms of programming etc is it possible to add in a new seperate nuke for GK? Cause that would be interesting to see... something like a single bomb being dropped into a specific area that does huge explosive dmg and ability knockback at the cost of small AoE and call it Cleansing Of Heresy or something

[Lost Son of Nikhel]

A huge bomb making the Drop pod falling noise when falls with a huge explosion which makes more damage in the center but less the further away is from the impact point point with a huge ability knockback AOE (larger than the explosion radius) as new GK nuke which replaces the current one?

Why not?

[Ar-Aamon]

I would rather pick the Brotherhood Champion over Sanctioned Psyker. The Daemon Hunter Inquisitor of Orkaeller is great. Maybe an other model with robe and hood would be more fitting.

As you may have noticed each hero has his/her/its own global abilities so yes.

As for GK we had a concept for it but nobody to create the ability, it would involve animating the Thunderhawk a little. So we're stuck with OB until somebody can pick it up.

It would be the most impressive nuke by far I must say.

[Broodwich]

Yeah sanctioned psyker didn't really make sense in gk since they are all uber psykers already

Might be good for ig though!

[Caeltos]

Yeah, it would be really badass if someone could pitch in and make it a reality. I actually gave it some thoughts the past few days - I had almost completely forgotten about it.

[Orkfaeller]

Uhh - a Thunderhawk Nuke.

Like some CoH style strafing run?

Or maybe more like a hovering Gun Ship?

[Caeltos]

Planned to be a hovering gun ship that laid down a rain of barrage on a target location.

[Lulgrim]

Actually even the land - hover cycle - takeoff animations exist in the game but somebody has to put the shit together, I can't do it myself for now.

[Nuclear Arbitor]

sooo... what? they need to all be added to a single properly rigged model?

[Warp Dust Addict]

What about a GK Chaplain?Make him like a hybrid Apo and CL (can recite prayers and maybe have a heal over time like painboy and have his prayer buff % higher for each GK unit/model around him)
I know I am going to regret saying that lol.

[Caeltos]

Will work on the Inquistior for GK.

You need to make an Eversor Assasin the third commander. I don't care how, just do it!

[Orkfaeller]

yay

you need to make an Eversor Assasin the third commander.

Wouldn't a subcommander make more sense?

[Spartan717]

yay

The grey knights already have 2 sub commanders: Grey knight librarian and Vindicare assassin.

Adding more may be unnecessary.

[Black Relic]

Maybe switch the vindicator assassin and make him a hero. And this new character be the sub commander. This suggestion might not get alot of love, but this came up during one of Max Power's Twitch casts.

[Orkfaeller]

I really dont think there is enough to work with, in case of the Vindicare to make a fleshed out commander ( beside the fact that assassins shouldnt be commanders IMHO )

[Lost Son of Nikhel]

With the inclusion of new commanders for Grey Knights, is going to receive the Brother Captain a rebalance of his wargear?

[Helios]

Lictor Alpha?

I don't like the sniper/assassins/ninja stuff that people love, but this is not a bad idea.
The Eversor, i believe, is far better suited to be the third commander than the Vindicate in term of gameplay and possibilities.

Lictor Alpha?

He means human assassins... Members of the Officio Assassinorum.
Not the traits/role of an assassin.
