Future Elites: Ideas + Rationale

QuantumCEM

Hey everyone,

I have been toying around with some ideas on new Elites of the SM armies.

Depending on path that Relic goes down in future DLCs, here's a quick list of Elites that I would like to see:

• Grey Knights Interceptor or Purifiers Squad: Released alongside the Chaos DLC (when it happens)
• Centurion Devastator Squad: Grav Weapons against Necrons
• A Land Raider Variant: A classic SM unit that can hold 1 squad.
• Legion of the Damned Squad: Another staple SM unknown forces that could be incorporated into a DLC campaign

Doctrines require significant balance consideration and I haven't played enough to eloquently form them.

All the best,

I think it'd be better to get some more doctrines thrown into the game, a player level that helps matchmaking sort players like in League of Legends for example. Then that'd be great if we got IG or CSM. Then elites, and balance in the background.

I've had two ideas since playing the beta, basically from memories of DoWII and thoughts about interesting elites to add.

Sternguard Veterans: Elite Tacticals who can use their special ammunition to be effective against any enemy type, but are not as powerful as dedicated counters against any one type. If Relic continues the trend of referencing the series' history, this squad could be led by Tarkus from DoWII.

Techmarine: Could be Martellus if callbacks are wanted. Marines have a minor 'fortify the listening post' thing with some of their doctrines (Blessing of the Omnissiah and the one that lets you reinforce at Listening Posts), so could see Techmarine playing with that style and enabling additional fortifications.
