Dawn of War Codex

First of all big thanks to ingrid for his replays and getting me interested in online play!


anyway 2 ideas I've come up with (both have never been covered by dawn of war)

First of all bikes- we have a lot of 'fast' assault troops (all the jump troops and banshees), med assault troops (cultist, orks e.c.t) slow assault troops (terminators and GUO) but we only have artillery and medium speed shooting troops, and so why not have bikes to act as rapid threat response and speedy out flankers and would add another tier 2 option (marines and chaos would both get them, eldar would get jet bikes)

Secondly (as as a kind of a follow on thought to the first) Dark eldar- very similar I suppose to Dark eldar with warriors, wyches and wracks as tier 1 (and possible mandrakes) Trueborn, blood brides (could be done as a unit upgrade similar to marines for warriors and wyches) grotesques raiders and venoms for tier 2 (yes they get 2 transports but isn't that how Dark eldar roll, and possible reaver jetbikes if there included, and then ranvengers and talos as tier 3

for commanders you could have achon as your defence, succubus as your offence and homunculus as support and even incude razer wing jetwings (e.g. fireing run) and voidravons (void bomb) as your nukes

Models, Animations, etc etc etc. +How would they affect the game ? (balance)

Hard to do , check grey knights . A new race basically brakes meta and they still seem broken race to me so a much better idea is new units , not races. Atleast from ballance perspective ( the point of the elite expansion) .

good points

bikes would be difficult agree as its something new

DE on the other hand prob have the 'stats' generated elsewhere

Tier 1
warriors= guardians
wyches=banshees
wrack= sluggers maybe

Tier 2
trueborn and blood brides= just have them as upgraded warriors/wyches
grotesques= ogrins without the shooting ability
raiders/venoms= falcon

tier 3
Ravager =floating predator
talos= lowered avatar?

bikes are mostly blocked by map size.

You should probably read some of the other threads on this forum first.

TL DR: If you happen to be a 3D artist with all this shit on your hard drive waiting to be integrated, we'd be happy to work on it. If not, don't start threads like this.

Thread locked.
