Dawn of War Codex

Many races have 2 super-units (by super-units, I mean a T3 unit that can only be deployed on the battefield one at a time, such as the Land Raider variants of the Chaos Space Marines, Space Marines and the Doom of Malan'tai of the Tyranids).

That made me wonder if one of the many Baneblade's variants could be added to the Imperial Guard's army. It could be a variant that is specialized for the killing of one particular type of unit like infantry, super heavy infantry or vehicules. It could be the Stormlord for the infantry or the other version that has a massive plasma canon for super heavy infantry.

Chaos and tyranids are the only races with two units that have a cap of 1 excluding subcommanders.

If IG will ever get another Super-Unit (and i doubt that), it will not be another Baneblade for sure.

Too similar to what already have. It will not be interesting.
An Imperial Knight would be far more credible, even if it's not technically IG, just because it's not a Tank.

If anything would be an appropriate foil to the Baneblade considering the Imperial Guard's nature, I figure it would be some form of artillery.

Eldar have Avatar and Seer Council (which is cap'ed to one, because getting more than one would lose you the game; getting one already is quite a challenge on its own).

Lol, that's true, my bad. Not to mention they do have quite a similar role to the avatar anyway.

Well, other variants of Baneblade are designed to hunt down titans. If they can fit Titans in DoW2, we will call you back.

We can put in the game some heavy tank (not super heavy like baneblade) like Macharius.

It can be also hard caped to one but cheaper and with less hp.
750 req 170 energy - 2000 hp
He can be an option if you want something better than Leman but you don`t have enought money for BB
It`ll be really hard to make nice model (Malcador chassis looks like bigger chimera chassis) but this guy that made dreadknight can try (ofc if he wants)

Imperial Guard deserves a Banablade as a super unit. Expensive or not.

There's not really any need. And sorry Flix, but Ic an see you as the type who will make a thread expressing how each faction is in "dire need" of a new super unit.

Indeed! it's always good to add some variaty to the units instead of seeing the generic same units over and over again!

This mod isn't about variety though - as a competitive friendly mod, interfactional balance is the undisputed ruler of what can and cannot be added.

Yeah, but the generic units are balanced and the additional ones aren't/aren't necessary.
