Dawn of War Codex

I have seen a picture where an IG commander had like 10 retinue members. I don't want 10 of cource but what if we can have a 4th one? What would it be? Share your ideas.

IMO, his retinue members are not doing area bufffs like LG weapons or armors, they are just abilitys. I think;

The Psycer Guy : Does fair damage from ranged like Warlock leaders. Gives you an ability that you use on a squad, and the members won't die but still gonna loose health and can die at the end of the effect. Fist of Brocus focused on a small squad. Increases the courage of the LG with 100 more.

Catachan Sergant : Starts with a power melee sword and a fair pistol. Gives you an area effect grenade that works similar to Purification Vials. Increases
the LG (and all members of cource) melee damage by 15%

Either a psyker with a power based off of what you see in the AM codex, or perhaps the master of the fleet/ordinance. Could give him a mini-nuke or something, similar to what the LC has.

Now i think we should look away from the retinue member giving the LG a ability or something that buffs an unit in a way since he already does a lot of that. He has soo much to offer with his armor and weapon upgrade so his retinue is sometimes neglected. Usually because with both his retinue and armor/weapon upgrade he is just so energy intensive.

So Id actually like to see a retinue member be a passive buff to the LG himself. All he would do is increase energy regen. based on how many retinue members were purchased. He wouldn't offer much in terms of damage but it would help the energy starved LG. But that maybe a bit OP tbh.

There's really no need for anything like this, but do go ahead and brainstorm. Also commissar alredy gives the retinue 15% damage increase (srgt gives 15% hp and vox guy speed).

Instead of another retinue, maybe he could use more veterans (4 or so). Also, those veterans should hit harder, not with roughly the same DPS as a normal guardsmen.

Kasrkin guy? Kind of a tier3 wargear, increasing LG ranged damage.

But why, isn't he good enough already??

Hey hey hey! Gentelmen! I didn't said he wasn't good enough. I just wanted to hear your opinions / ideas and stuff.

Catachan in LG retinue would be silly :{

How many times have I already suggested the idea of a Imperial Guard Standard Bearer for the Lord Generals retinue? What this new model would do is add a passive buff of courage to all imperial guard infantry squads located within the radius of the Lord General! Plus it would be nice to actually have such a model for once seeings how all Imperial Guard regiments actually carry their standards into battle!
