Hey @r_benb how hard would be for you to put in the rhino for the space Marines as they lack a transport at the minute and a mobile reinforcement unit as the orks and the elder have one.
Therefore their faction can only reinforce near their buildings or if they have took the doctrine that allow listening posts to reinforce. This is one of the biggest disadvantages of the space Marines as they only reinforce these two ways for their units. Whilst the orks can reinforce by their buildings, their transports through use of an upgrade and have three elites that have a reinforcement ability and have a doctrine that allow their Waaagh towers to reinforce their units. This means the orks can reinforce up to 4 different ways for their units. Lastly the elder can reinforce from their buildings and transports with an upgrade their web way gates and this means they can reinforce three different ways for their units.
Another thing if possible would be for a new upgrade to be put in the Arsenal which is storm bolters that are pintle mounted on rhino if put in to the game, the whirlwind, the predator devastator and annihilator as the whirlwind cannot defend itself at the moment and the rhino if put in.
@r_benb Ok, so I want to know: you guys teased the Necrons pretty hard even before the game's release, and especially the video at the end of the campaign. Had you guys even started work on the Necrons or other new races and what percentage were they completed when the plug was pulled?

Well, any new unit would require art (skin or model), animation and effects (abilities), and likely some audio work in addition to the design time to figure out the right functionality. It's not especially easy. The Space Marines are meant to leverage their Drop Pods as a way of mobile reinforcement. There's also a doctrine that lets you reinforce at Listening Posts.
Edit: forgot the UI work to bring a new unit into the tech tree, programming to cue everything up in game, etc. etc. etc. You get the idea...one new unit takes a full, multidisciplinary team.

Work had only just started and was not very far along before we shifted focus to some of the other things I've mentioned in this thread. So, we were at the start of the journey looking at the way forward and deciding whether that path made the most sense, rather than 3/4 of the way to the finish line and deciding to turn back.
Thank you for responding to my post @r_benb and would be possible to put in terminators for the space Marines that can be built from the stronghold that instead of having assault cannons have storm bolters and no cyclone missile launcher. They only can be built when get to tier three and have less health than the elite terminator squad whilst having a build limit of one. If not possible to do this. Is it possible to get the skin for the terminator squad makes them look like death watch terminators.
Also would be possible to have the Scouts buildable from the stronghold and if not can you say why. Also another note can you put in the squad sizes of all infantry units in the in game Codex as we don't have that information at the minute and more information about what upkeep is in the Codex as well

I appreciate the suggestions but as per the announcement these requests aren't in scope for us.
In your relic update post you say can do smaller content additions as a possibility what are these smaller content additions, what can you give us as a example so we know can your limits, that's all.

We've kept this thread going for a few weeks now, and we've covered a lot of ground. I want to say a big thanks to all of you for taking part, for asking good questions, and for giving us the opportunity to explain what we can. It's helped me get a sense of what's on your mind as the dust settles, and bring those ideas back into the studio. It's also been good vibes getting to share some things that we haven't been able to share with you before.
Lately, it seems like we've tackled all of the major points and I'm running low on new things to say. Plus, I don't think it's that helpful to have this undying Q&A thread with almost 30 pages of comments that no one in their right mind is going to read through before tossing another question into the mix. So, today it closes.
I'll keep popping in to check out the other threads and weigh in when I'm able. If you think it's something I can speak to, feel free to tag me and I'll get to it as soon as I can provided I can shine some light on the situation. Otherwise, be patient with each other, celebrate the fan base, and keep fighting the good fight!

he already kinda answered this here:

other smaller content additions that are not cosmetics is i want to know

I'm guessing that they can only spare the time of Artists and not Programmers.

@r_benb , is there any concept art you guys can release to show what Necrons in DoW3 would have been like?
0riginal_z0M
OH GOSH* THATS A VERY VERY GOOD IDEA !!!!!
r_benb
Nothing that can be released, I'm afraid!
