Dawn of War Codex

1) Genestealers under melee synapse
2) Temagaunts' crippling poison + warriors' supression + zoanthrope

I have seen a game with Holywhiner vs some russian guy and Holywhiner spammed zoanthropes up to 4 if I remember correctly. He was decimating 2x ogryns of that guy easily.

personaly i don't think " getting 4 zoenthrops " should be used in a descution about balance but sure y not.


I will admit getting 4 zoanthrops vs IG is "mabey" a good idea

I'm iffy with Ogyrn. Perhaps with Commissar buffs, it is viable to use them but other commanders don't fit my usual play style to support them. Since I play Inquis a lot, I find that it's not often that I can pull off a Silently with ogryn, as most factions can easily counter this with stealth detection units (i.e tics w/ AC, Shootas with Nob, scouts w/ sarg, etc). It's viable if you're up against someone who plays Eldar and goes something like triple Dires, but it's not as easy to pull off versus other factions with standard builds I find.

Infiltration in this game is like supression teams. You get countered hard or you own with it.

That was an example how to abuse zoans vs ogryns. I said before that combination of 3 units can deal with ogryns or genestealers under melee synapse.

o c'mon, that game was played on 3.18 for crying out loud. and the point of that game was multiple zoans + HT (with invulnerability and crushing claws) + crippling poison completely rapes. not a good example.

Not like getting ogryns is a good idea to begin with vs nids.

Ogryns consistently kick my ass hard but I never get mine to kick any ass.

tis sad
