Dawn of War Codex

Eversor Assassin (Commander) concept
The Eversor Assassin is the second Commander for the Grey Knights, he specializes in shock tactics, and is a brutal combat fighter.

The Eversor Assasssin is a very high-risk , high reward commander that thrives in being in the heart of the battlefield. Being killed will usually lead to taking down multiple enemies down with him. Due to lack of specialized weapons, the Eversor has a substantial increase in melee damage increase per level compared to other commanders, and higher health regeneration.

Health - 600 Energy - 100 Speed - 6.0
Sight - 40 Courage - 100 Melee Skill - 70

Wargears
Accessories
Bio-Meltdown
The Eversor Assassin is infused with more potent drugs, and causes him to become unstable. Reduces the Combat Drug cooldown by 50%, and whenever the Eversor Assassin is killed, he will explode, dealing 150 explosive_pvp damage to all nearby enemies and allies. In this state, he will no longer be ressurectable from allied commanders. Reduces also the cost of repurchasing him from 250 to 125

Combat Drug - Terminus
The Eversor Assassin becomes invulnerable to all damage, but quickly loses energy for the course of duration. Should he go below 25 energy, he will explode in a violent fashion, taking down any units in the area.

I thought that the Lord Inquisitor was supposed to be the second GK Hero. What happened to him?

He got turned into a rather promosing fan-film

Cool stuff.

inb4 next MRT final is between Eversor and Spore Mine Alpha.

Huh, no weapons but those look like some crazy sick mechanics. I have several questions just looking over some of the abilities.

Terminus
1. Is this a toggle ability? Or is this essentially a ticking time bomb ability?

1. Should Neurotoxin apply a small DoT instead of the sight reveal? It seems appropriate given what the neurotoxins do lore wise, as well as the fact I'm not sure what the purpose of the revealing is (given that I would assume the ability is probably limited to the range of the pistol and you would probably be able to see what's roughly around the target anyway?)

2. Have you considered giving him another tool to his arsenal? GK suffers from a lot of AV, and the eversor is one of the few characters that you could realistically give a melta bomb as it's part of their kit lore wise, which might give an alternate source of vehicle stun/slow other than Interceptors (which many GK players are reluctant to buy). It might help considerably, given their current composition. Maybe add a little bonus energy/health on top of receiving a melta?

Edit: re-read somethings, totally overlooked something whilst reading haha

so Fury is Blood rage type of ability goes AWOL into an enemy squad ,hmm high risk indeed.
and Bio-meltdown basically kamikaze into blobs alone ,uh, . i guess the player using him will have the most commander losses alone :0
Evarsior assassin sounds more like a Rogue Comissar lord from descriptions alone lol.
i do like Rapid reflex/Passive onslaught ,Neurotoxin seems like a nice 1v1 wargear

How this commander will be implemented ? As a 5th SM commander, 4th for another race or what ? Mr Caeltos do you have any contact with UI guy ? I wonder how his work going
And second question. Any plans to add Warrior Acolytes to GK roster ? As someone suggested, they can be nice early support unit with melee upgrade (some sort of berserk ability that gives them immortality in T2 would be good as well).

Whatever happens to this unit/concept Caeltos, keep this ability/option in some form. Holy shit this could lead to some funny stuff, and its exactly...

Oh wait you said "ENEMY" units, so its not the equivalent of Blood Rage - oh well, still evokes exactly what the Eversor should be. Attacking your own enemy should stay a Chaos thing anyway .

Keep it up mate, this looks fun!

Could just be a fourth IG hero until the UI stuff is sorted.

This certainly looks like it would be fun to play. I am curious about the why there are no specialized weapons or him. Is this just a design choice or is there some other underlying factor fort his choice?

Thank you Ace.

But yes, HE WILL have weapons, they're not even in an incomplete stage. They're more on the drawing board.

Keep up the good work Caeltos and team. You have kept this game fresh and new with your hard work and creativity.

It would be fun to see more new commander heroes to the game.

While think he would work better as a replacement for the flame strike global but I'll be saying my reason for it in the other thread.

About combat drug terminus: I think you should switch the detonation bellow 25 energy(which sound like a great idea to fuck up the plays of less experienced or distracted players) to either increased energy loss or health loss while the abillity is working or when you don't have anymore energy like with one Kain's abillity in the campaign.
I already find it weird that this hero can not be resurected when he dies and not everything he does has make him explode.

About neurotoxin: This gave me the idea of a weapon upgrade being the executioner pistol to make him a threat or annoyance even at range. As for the abillity; the slowdown is a great idea but the sight radius... well your going to have to eplain to me, if you had thought of it, how does a poison give you line of sight. You could always just increase the assassin's own line of sight and maybe give him a detector trait.

About cameleon upgrade: This is probably not something you see on eversors normally. I imagine it should give the assassin some kind of debuff cause it could make him an extremly anoying unit to deal with.

About rapid reflex:Will the commander have enough abillities to make the cooldown reduction worth it?

About onslaught: I love the idea of the eversor gaining buffs as he fight more because it works well with the idea of the durgs he use being highly adictive. I think it might be worth to give him more of those kind of abillities.

But now that I think about it, does anyone have any idea what kind of globals we should give him if he's to be an other commander? Heck what globals would work for a unit that works so much outside of imperial command?

He can only not be resurrected when he dies under the effect of Bio-Meltdown. Since he kind of exploded all over the place.
Besides, his repurchase will only cost a measly 125req then! This is a big deal for 1v1.

I'm not saying I don't understand. I'm saying I find it very different to what I'm used to. I guess I should adapt after a while. Though this create the question of who's sending so many costly assassins down there in the first place. Also I think that the repurchace cost should be lowered since it is a deliberate choice to use the abillity or not.

WEAPON:
Advanced bolter ammunitions
Increase the damage of the Executioner Pistol by (5 dps?) and unlock the "Ulysses Bolts" ability.

Ulysses Bolts
The Eversor fire a short burst at the target.
From that moment and for (1 minute?) the Eversor see his charge distance increase by X against that unit, and the unit is revealed (the player can see where it is, even in the fog of war, until the time runs out).

Light Weighted Suit(?)
The Evesor Assassins suit is tailored to his preference, allowing him to quickly move around the battlefield searching for his target. Increases movement speed by 0.5 and extends his charge range by another 6. Increases health by 50

Is it possible to make him jump over obstacles like the banshees with this upgrade?

The Eversor assassin is a balls insane (even by 40k standards) lifelong killer. Surely he should have some way to gain suppression immunity and/or splash damage?
