Chaplain is planned for future release as a 4th Commander for Space Marines.

Yeah great news. Does that mean a 4th Commander for Chaos is planned too ?!

Awesome

is this serious or a late april fools joke?

It's serious.

However, it depends on how the UI modification is going, if that gets scrapped - so does the Chaplain.

Well that was a random bombshell. Wonder how much wood this will add to the SM thread fire.

Any idea about how is going to be focused the Chaplain? Maybe as heavy support commander, ALAS Farseer?

Nice to see that :] I was thinking about "weird" idea about 4th commander. What if we restrict access to new commander(commanders) from reach 15,30,60 army level? It`s even possible to do ?

Restricting doesn't seem very fair to new(er) players. Why shouldn't they be able to play the commander they want to?

Honestly, I see no reason to restrict Commanders. Each Commander has their own role and to force newer players into only selecting a 1 hero which does not suit their playstyle will be painful for them.

Imagine an Ork Mekboy Player who wants to give Chaos a go gets forced to play as a Chaos Lord until he unlocks the PC at level 30.

Let the speculations begin! What role could charlie chappie possibly play...

You were holding it in in the first place?!!?!

I don't like the idea of the second secondary character for Space Marines. I think one secondary character per race is more than enough, that's why I disagree with the ork Painboy when we have the Weirdboy already.

The idea of making the Chaplain a new Main Character choice sounds much better to me, and I'd also turn the current Painboy into a new Ork Main Character called "Doktor". I'll share my ideas in a couple new posts.

"Mad Dok" is more Lore friendly

I think about it as some kind of achievements of the ELITE mod. OFC it`s just my idea, but it can force new players to play more and more. Beside that 15 army level (it can be even 10 or 5) its no big deal. Few days of playing and you will get new mighty hero that can take you to higher level of mastery

Or hack/cheat. :/

Fuck no, between private games,steam DCs, ragequitters it might take a long time before you level up, in almost 3000 hours of DoW2 I still haven't hit 60 on orks/nids/ig and I had to do Eldar twice because a bug resetted levels, so there is that aswell.

Plus if people like the game they will play it as much as they can/want.

What Ace said.

A wild speculation: possibly Chaplain isn't going to be the next primary commander to be added into Elite. It's kind of weird to focus on a character that may or may not be supported by UI.

Another one is that Chaplain's envisioned concept looks like "LC goes SM".

The announcement was unexpected indeed.
