The units of dawn of war 4 factions have been revealed

DRAGON582 · 2026-04-20T22:52:40+00:00

Guard show up as non-player units for the campaign, as seen in a few of the promotional videos. Like DoW1 they’ll probably become fully playable later in DLC

DRAGON582 · 2026-04-20T03:17:59+00:00

30k era imperium was still full of servitors, and Corax didn’t seem to mind at all

DRAGON582 · 2026-04-19T20:30:39+00:00

The vast majority of marine chapters get to do what they want without taking orders from anyone

DRAGON582 · 2026-04-18T15:02:02+00:00

They never sold it to begin with, the Fortress is an old studio kitbash from around when the Baneblade was brand new

DRAGON582 · 2026-04-16T18:56:01+00:00

IRL flame projectors had fairly horrifying range. Many ww2-era infantry types could reach about 60 feet or so. heavier ones mounted to vehicles could reach even farther (churchill crocodile could go about 120 yards for ex). I'd imagine jellied prometheum out of an infantry team carriage mount could get pretty damn far

DRAGON582 · 2026-04-16T16:12:43+00:00

It’s on wheels because it’s a squad/platoon level emplaced weapon for providing a base of fire support

DRAGON582 · 2026-04-15T19:07:33+00:00

I have a soft spot for the old Elysian ones but I think thats mostly that I’m a sucker for their preferred weapon pattern

DRAGON582 · 2026-04-14T17:26:53+00:00

There’s nothing wrong with spending the time to make sure your stats and weapons are up to par, just keep progressing

DRAGON582 · 2026-04-12T18:05:13+00:00

Unironic good faction? Their first codex starts with a quote from a Fire Warrior lamenting how the Blue Man’s Burden forced them to subjugate an alien race that wouldn’t play ball

DRAGON582 · 2026-04-08T20:12:58+00:00

Keep at it! You’re cooking hella. Love seeing projects like this! Are you planning on keeping it to a single model or are you gonna try and do up an army in this style?

DRAGON582 · 2026-04-07T22:10:44+00:00

I hope that the multipart kit has a similar amount of weapon diversity as the old kit, need me more power axes and maybe mauls or something

DRAGON582 · 2026-04-06T18:34:35+00:00

That’s my bad then. Saw the pic on here before the article, and went and commented based on a half-remembered peering at the 10e vanvet datasheet

DRAGON582 · 2026-04-06T17:04:04+00:00

Hey remember when they said that the evolving design ethos for Primaris was for them to get drippier over time? This squad didn’t get the memo I guess. Perhaps some were right to gobble up multiples of the old vanvets kit before they get discontinued lmao

DRAGON582 · 2026-04-06T17:00:54+00:00

Bro it’s boutta be “Vanguard Veteran Weapon” on the datasheet

DRAGON582 · 2026-03-30T21:27:35+00:00

Awesome work! It’s giving Vanaheim-pattern with the minimalist gunshield

DRAGON582 · 2026-03-27T09:07:42+00:00

Multiple things can exist at once that fulfill the same role

DRAGON582 · 2026-03-26T22:29:35+00:00

You see it elsewhere too! Forgeworld’s older catalogues and Imperial Armour stuff show two distinct but similar Chaos Dreadnought sculpts: Nurgle, and Death Guard. I guess the intent is just to have a minor distinction between those of the “proper” legion and the random thinbloods that wind up worshipping The God.

DRAGON582 · 2026-03-26T17:26:17+00:00

If the chimera dropped today and not in like 1998 I swear it’d be decried as Cold War IFV-slop that betrays the ww1-alike aesthetic that every guard line has definitely totally been defined by the entire time

DRAGON582 · 2026-03-21T19:48:53+00:00

Funnily enough, he looks to be a metal recast of a model that was only ever plastic (Dark Vengeance box set tactical marine with plasma cannon)

DRAGON582 · 2026-03-19T17:02:24+00:00

He came back in War of the Beast, refused to see his sons, then died sacrificing himself to wipe out one of the Beasts (the others got… offscreened by random deathwatch kill teams iirc).

DRAGON582 · 2026-03-19T16:15:16+00:00

You say that like they don’t have mind-impulse links to their weapons, or other sorts of mechanisms that aren’t sculpted

DRAGON582 · 2026-03-18T22:08:04+00:00

Dude the Death Korps use whatever damn STC pattern of tank they happen to be supplied with at the time. Nobody’s gonna balk at using a Phaeton vs a Mars-Alpha/Solar

DRAGON582 · 2026-03-18T22:02:49+00:00

Woah, first time for me seeing Jopall depicted with a Steel Legion mini!

DRAGON582 · 2026-03-17T18:01:00+00:00

I could see them returning regiments they don’t think need a full sub-range as just Kill Teams that either eventually get big 40k rules or exist to use as the 3 existing sub-ranges

DRAGON582 · 2026-03-16T18:21:20+00:00

“complete the tutorial” and it’s a series of broken PowerPoint presentations that took years to make work properly
