What units would you of liked to of seen implemented?

[Yoshi]

Looked a few pages back and couldn't see a thread like this so I figured I'd start one.
Essentially what units from WH40k would you of liked to of seen in DoW2 that didn't make it in with the races? I'm speaking of only the races that are in DoW2 currently not what race you would of liked to of seen put in.

My main thing is I really had hoped one of the Tyranid Commanders would of been a Broodlord, he would of been such a more bad ass option rather then the Ravener or Lictor Alpha. Maybe even had one of his Tyranid Powers be to summon infiltrated genestealers onto the map. He probably would of been filling the same role as the current Lictor Alpha except I think he would of been even stronger in melee with the capability of taking out vehicles.
I'm guessing he probably wasn't put in because GW said no to Relic.

Which are another unit that would of been cool to see are the genestealers, it would of been interesting to see a squad/brood of infiltrators that specialized in melee combat. I could of seen them as T2 or T3 units

[{Exo}{Elite}]

Dark reapers, damn I wished they would have been in, or atleast fire dragons.

[INVICTA]

Chaplain, his fanatical outbursts and battle cries were sorely missed.

[glenn3e]

I'd like to see Librarian as a new commander, then Chaplain as maybe a tier 3 single unit with support powers.

[Rhedd]

Swooping Hawks!!!

[CommissarRezail]

land speeders man.

[Mokino]

Fire Dragons definitely are missed.

SM:
Librarian
Chaplain
-One of these should've be a commander instead of the Apothecary.

Orkz:
Big Mek (instead of Mekboy)
Wyrdboyz (not sure how they could be implemented, though.)
Mad Dok

Nids:
Genestealers

[ricolikesrice]

space marines:

-chaplain
-librarian

the chaplain taking the role of the apothecary as a hero and both apothecary and librarian being "regular" troops that you could add to your normal squads.

eldar:

-striking scorpions
-fire dragoons
-vypers
-wraithguard


orks:

-not sure tbh.

nids:

-genestealers


eldar are lacking the most, they re so diverse in TT and so boring in DoW2 (not talking about gameplay, just about how bland their selection of units is, especially with 3 platforms sold as 3 "different" units )

[Bowkers]

For SM:Whirlwind or Vindicator . These can break down terrain, create craters to provide heavy cover.

[Zunjinto]

Only missing some weapon upgrades for space marines, like melta guns / cannons and lasers.

Eldar - Vypers

Orks = gretchins

Tyranids = genestealers , wings on hive tyrant

[Sebi]

Kaptin as a commander unit.

[Jaskanator]

For space marines, I'd like to see Librarian as new hero. Chaplain is cool but it's just another melee hero, SM don't have caster yet.
For units I would like to see Landspeeders. They would fit dow 2 so well and are cool.

For eldar it's pretty much what others have already said: Autarch as new hero (Or some new exarch), and fire dragons, dark reapers or some new aspect warrior unit. And yeah wraithguard, those are interesting.

For orks I really don't have any idea. They have pretty much everything they need. Maybe wartraks/buggies or bikers. Mad dok or Weird Boy as new hero,

For tyranids it's Broodlord and genestealers.

[XViper]

Everything that was in DoW.

[Delta_Assault]

You know, your title would make more sense if you replaced the "of"s with "have"s.

[Yoshi]

Yes I sometimes fail at grammar entirely

[Shuma]

Chaplain, Wraithguard(DAMN IT RELIC!) and Autarch.

[hellic]

You know, your title would make more sense if you replaced the "of"s with "have"s.

Or remove the "of"s and change "liked" and "seen" to present tense.

[Shadow Walker]

SM:
Chaplain and Librarian as heroes that will replace Techmarine and Apothecary who will be just standard units for every SM army. Landspeeder. Landraider [and Crusader variant for some hero]. there should be only one kind of Devastator squad but with upgrade options with each tier [plasma cannon in tier 2 and las cannon in tier 3].
Orks:
Weirdboy and BigMek as heroes that will replace Kommando Nob and Mekboy. big Gretchin squads that will replace Stikky Bommas. Squigs and Gretchins as wargear options for heroes.
Eldar:
Autarch as hero that will replace Warp Spider Exarch. Fire Dragons and Dark Reapers. there should be only one kind of weapon platform but with upgrade options with each base tier.
Tyranids:
Broodlord as hero that will raplace Lictor Alpha. Genestealers. wings as wargear for Hive Tyrant and Warriors. Biovores that will replace spore mine squads. Gargoyles.

[AlienHack]

well, Swooping Hawks or fire dragons for Eldar would be cool, and wraithguard..

Gritchings for ORKS!! how could they have not put the already! they could be similar to reapers for cannon fodder!!! :-)

genestealers are a big thing left out, they should be implemented! and there are some tyr units with wings (flyers) they could be in too..

[saalkin]

Noone said battlewagon? The hell!

Orks. Grots, Shokk attack gun, Flash gits, Burnas (as a squad) Pain boy leader, Weirdboy leader, Mega armour in there somewhere. Killa Kans. All other units/upgrades we could see or could have seen. That and ramming we need rammin'!

Other races are less important

[Ruzdreg]

I would have prefered the Malanthrope and Broodlord for Tyranid HQ's instead of the large Lictor and Ravener!


For Orks I would have loved to have seen a Stompa!!!!
It would likey be too powerful for multiplayer but there's always the campaign there to see such monsters.
Other then that - Deffkoptas since I seem to have some kind of facination of those Ork contraptions.


I've never liked Eldar


As for Marines, I would have liked to have seen the Vindicator and have its demolisher cannon able to destroy even indistructable terrain by the use of a target ground option.
Just think, there could be some large factory like building in the way and even a Carnifex had to go around it but then the Vindicator shows up and smashy, smashy - bit by bit, the Vindicator blows out chunks of this building untill there is a passage going through!

[glenn3e]

Other than Chaplain and Librarian, what other kinds of SM infantry units can be added?

[calamoide]

Other than Chaplain and Librarian, what other kinds of SM infantry units can be added?

Grey Knights

[Pyro Paul]

Servetors for the Techmarine.
also, a better model for the tech marine would be nice.


i think that the mekboy should have an upgrade which turns him into a bigmek much like the force commanders Terminator Armor...

[Deunan]

Eldar
Spiritseer
Works far better as an HQ choice than a warlock, plus allows you to go away from boring Uthwe
Wraithguard
A much needed damamge soak.

[Poseidal]

Grey Knights

Grey Knights strictly speaking aren't part of any Space Marine chapter except their own. I wouldn't think they should really appear for the vanilla Space Marine list.

Maybe something like Speeders or Bikes.

For Eldar, definitely more aspects. Avengers, Dragons, Hawks, Scorpions and Reapers.

And 'nids, probably Stealers and a Broodlord (AKA Alpha Genestealer XD) hero for them.

Not sure about Orks for the moment though.

[WNxGhazghkull]

Mega armored Nobz (ork assault termies) and Big Gunz (ork artellery) BUT most of all THE SQUIGGOTH!

[K-Pooh]

Super Mega Death Christ 2000! Give him to the orcs just to make it more fluffy...

But seriously...

Grots would be soo awsome... I'd spend my days spamming them... and drinking mai-tai's out of a coconut...

This would signifigantly improve K-Pooh's quality of life

[Skarmory the PG]

Genestealers.

Fast as Hormagaunts, comparable to Adrenal Warriors, worse vs. vehicles, can infiltrate in short bursts, no Synapse, summonable as T3 Biomass Summon for the Broodlord commander.

[Frigidair44]

I would like to have every army to have a sub-commander available at tier 2.

If not, for the Orks (who don't have an ultimate weapon like the other races do) the Squiggoth or the Battle Wagon. Commander: the Big Mek or Mad Dok.

For the Space Marines: Librarian and Land Speeders.

Can't speak much for the Eldar and Nids tho.

[Ruzdreg]

BUT most of all THE SQUIGGOTH!

How big do you want it? BIG or GARGANTUAN!

[H3R3TIC]

Space Marines: Librarian. The Librarian should have been the commander instead of the apothacary. The apothacary should have been a unit upgrade like the sargeant.

Eldar: Dark Reapers. I guess they left them out because they would have been an uber supression unit (Think Avitus' squad)

Orks: Wartrak. WARTRAK'S DA FURST TO DA FIGHT...apparently not in DOW2.

Nids: Would have been cool to see either a Tyrant guard or a broodlord.

[Sanctum]

It'd be nice of all unit upgrades had a visual representation (not just an icon change, either).

Space Marine:
+ Librarian (HQ)
+ Land Speeders

Ork:
- Mekboy
+ Big Mek (HQ)
+ Deffkopta
- Looted Tank
+ Battlewagon

Eldar:
+ Autarch (HQ)
+ Swooping Hawks

Tyranid:
+ Broodlord (HQ)
+ Genestealers

OR

+ Tyrant Guard
+ Gargoyles

[ZimZum]

Swooping Hawk Exarch could have had a similar role to the WSE but without being a near clone of an existing squad. Nids suffered from this way more though.

[BadKen]

The title of this thread hurts my brain.

[Ziggerboo]

Orks
-Kommando Nob
+Mad Dok or Weirdboy
-The Wartrukk's top, letting units inside to attack stuff while riding
-The Looted Tank
+Battlewagon or Battle fortress ( never liked the squiggoth )

Space Marines
-Apothecary
+Librarian
That's really all I want for marines.

Eldar
-WSE
+Autarch
That's really all I want for the Eldar.

I hate the Tyranids, so I couldn't care less about what they have.

[ghodan]

A hardcounter unit against Jonny Ebbert.
Because he is not awsome.

[westwarren32]

well i for one miss the grey knights very much, they have this powerful faith thing that really inspires me


Praise the emperor and strike down his foes!!

[The Voltr0n]

A hardcounter unit against Jonny Ebbert.
Because he is not awsome.

HAHAHA, i laughed so hard i think i cracked a rib... XD

[jcorqian]

Terminator Sargeants.

[k0lyan]

Megablasta for mek (something like plazma cannon)
Battle wagon
Megaarmored nobz
More weapon upgrades for wartrukk: ram or something like quad big shootas (same like us halftrack have in coh).

[Bilge]

The title of this thread isn't in English.

[Pseudonymn]

@OP:
This is an easy one.

All of the units that appeared in the original, vanilla DoW1 !!

I get that we shouldn't expect that DoW2 ship with the expansion units/armies. That's perfectly fine. But I most definitely feel ripped off that the stock WH40K Space Marines units aren't available.

I expect my SM armies to consist of fast attack options, heavy support, and elites. Thus, I feel that Land Speeders, Rhinos with adaptable/customizable chassis ranging from bulk troop transport to field artillery support, and especially the Land Raider are all missing from my DoW2.

Also, the pop cap just sucks. And slogging through the campaign with 4 squads of no more than 10 marines at a time didn't make me feel more attached to my men.

In fact, I'm annoyed that any commander would leave assets on a ship during simultaneous, sector-wide invasions by both the Eldar and the Ork in addition to Tyranid infestation. But here I am, force to leave both Cyrus and Thule to sit in their bunks while the FC, Tarkus, Thadeus, and Avitus rip it up down below because of their level disparity. I almost never get to see these units in action.

I want more troops. I want my epic SM army back.

[Forge World]

Dire Avenger for Eldar

Genestealer for Tyranids

Land Raider for SM

[Skarmory the PG]

I would like to have every army to have a sub-commander available at tier 2.

Please, no. I cannot overstate just how much I do not miss that from DoW 1. Vanilla, clone armies ftl.

[hippiefreak12]

2 words my friend MAH BLOG

i have been listing the new races stuff like Imperial Guard and their units, Daemon Hunters, Chaos, Tau, and necrons. if any are interested in reading go there or should i copy paste them here?

[|iG|Vertigo]

Not a new unit, but I'd like to be able to swap squad wargear during a game (like you can with the Commanders) - for example, buying a Flamer for your Tactical Squad early on and switching it for a Missile Launcher when the enemy starts spamming vehicles (and most of the cover has been destroyed). I hate sacrificing my unit just because I want to replace it with something more relevant.

Plus, as someone mentioned above, it would be great if there was only one Devastator squad which could be upgraded with different weapons during the game.

Oh, and finally, equipping the Tyranid Warriors with a Venom Cannon or Barbed Strangler should give a ranged weapon to all three (perhaps making the sidekicks' guns better against vehicles or infantry depending on which main gun you pick). It's so irritating having the two other Warriors standing around scratching their arses with their scything talons.

[Border Patrol]

the bloodthirster is sorely missed
=/

[Weazlex]

Eldar: Dire Avengers as a T3 Guardian upgrade
Nids: Can't think of anything really..
Orks: 'Ardboyz (perhaps as a T3 upgrade to Sluggas?)
SM: More weapon options for Tacs and Dreads

[Pocktio]

Definately Chaplain. Best character ever.
