IG Speculation...

[peacemaker]

As a loyal IG player I have good days and bad days...probably like most of the other guard players here!

Anyway, we all know IG is receiving weapons teams for DC? I was wondering if they might be getting anymore weapons upgrades as well?

Maybe handflamers and meltas for Kasyrkins and if Kasyrkins will get the infiltrate ability.

Maybe commander upgrades....etc. i.e. plasma pistol for sargeants, commie and commander and power fist!

I've always thought that Kasysrkins should be able to infiltrate anyway because that is what the WA booklet says about them!!:D

[sparky]

autocannons and lascannons only :)

[HorusHeresy]

I doubt infiltrate either. Tier 3 units that can infilitrate would be abit hard to combat.

[LordZon]

autocannons and lascannons only

No heavy bolters? :(

[Invictus]

The DowXP mod (http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=104388) has a lot of hidden IG stuff. I doubt the mod team managed to create such authentic-looking weapons, buttons and other assorted stuff from scratch (but mega respect if they did), so maybe we'll see the uncompleted IG stuff unlocked when DC comes out.

[peacemaker]

YES, I love that mod and that is what I would like IG to be like in DC!!!

:clap:


I guess I do agree....giving Kaysrkins the infiltrate ability could set off the IMBAL alarm!!!:jig:

[Morcalivan7]

It'll start as Heavy Bolters. They'll upgrade to Lascannons and Autocannons. T2 for Lascannons like all AV, and T3 for Autocannon.

[Spectre]

sweet, it starts in T2. Thats real nice.

[CrossOfFire]

Yea, definitely an answered prayer if it shows up T2, help them against some of the armor roaming around.

I'd really like to see them create new upgrades for the existing races too, I think that's a great idea.

[lythari]

I wonder if we'll see upgrades such as hull mounted heavy bolters for Chimeras and Hellhounds and a lascannon upgrade for the Leman Russ ...

[ManChild666]

I think in DC we're gonna see a gamate of nice things happen for IG. Along with all the unfinished stuff we've seen in WA, I believe Relic has been paying very close attention to IG since the release of WA, and has learned what it means to introduce a new race into a game which is allready balanced fairly well. I think with the release of DC we're gonna see a very smooth transition from 5 races to a very acceptable and fun 7. All of which play differently and can hold their own against any other race. I highly doubt there will be one race that is "unbeatable".

[Naib]

Good!!!
I can play ok as SM online
BUT I have only won 2games as IG (and I am a n00b!!!) it is soo hard! esp against Chaos.

I can harras ~T2 but if yr teammate not gonna help then you will get pushed back and then eventually die

something to allow you to stand up for a bit longer is what is needed

having the WP as a defensive unit (ie takes time to setup and then packup IF you need to more, or even NOT moveable) is ideal

[Azureus]

I believe IG play really nice at the moment. Although their generally a defence setting army in early tiers, I find they (just as the space marines) become evily impossible to beat in tier3. It seems the only skill you need for IG is to survive the first two tiers, if this is maintained.. then you get rewarded with a chance for some serious payback. I am professional with space marines. I know that if I dont take out IG in the first 6mins of the game...then I'm going to be seriously punished (providing IG player has enough experiance to stop my intense early attacks). All in all, its down to SKILL & MICRO... whos got the fastest finger on the mouse :D

[Skuijs]

Thats what IG are thats what relic made them hard in the first 2 tiers and good in the 3 & 4 tiers so you have to turtle up till you have better units.

Gaurdsmen are supposed to be weak !

[Gue'la Brewer]

I thought sentinals were getting weapons other then lascannons. I think an autocannon would be nice, bring back some of that DoW vanilla flavor.
