3 years ago
Wa2Magge
Hey Guys,
So i have read the Beta FAQ and ist saying 9 Elite Units per faction at release, so in the beta there are 5 per faction,
My question is where are the other 4 Elite Units for each faction and are These completely other Units? And what was said about this?
Regards,
Magge

Mostly we see some on the Videos. What i now:
Space marine:
Chaplan
Ranged Terminators
Eldar:
Warpspider
There was somewhere a list in the forum but i dont remember where.
Wa2Magge
Ah, thanks for your "small" Information on that, Larkis!
When anybody has a list for me that would be nice, Swooping Hawks could be so awesome.
Edit: and maybe a Apothecarius.
Creature
This is, most likely, Space Marine:
Deathwatch
Jonah
Gabriel
Assault Terminators
Solaria
Ranged Terminators
Chaplain
Cannon/Sword Knight
Venerable Dreadnought.
Cannon/Sword Knight is the only one that I don't think has been 100% confirmed, but they've been seen in a few of the promo videos.
Auric
This is what I think the elite rosters are, based on screen shots and/or confirmations by relic.
Space Marines
Gabriel
Jonah
Chaplain Diomedes
Venerable Dreadnought (Thule?)
Deathwatch
Assault Terminators
Tactical Terminators
Solaria
Knight Paladin
Eldar
Macha
Jain Zar
Ronahn
Striking Scorpions
Warp Spiders
Wraithlord
Taldeer
Wraithknight
Autarch
Orks
Warboss Gorgutz
Weirdboy Zapnoggin
Big Mek (forget name, sorry!)
Stormboyz
Mad Dredd
Beauty the Morkanaut
Gorkanaut
I'm not sure what the other 2 Ork elites are as I haven't seen any info on them. I'm pretty certain the units I have listed are accurate though.
Wa2Magge
Thank you for that Info Guys!, maybe we get more Infos from Relic soon.
shmoulki
orks have the meganobz (armored nobz) too
no idea about the last one, maybe some medik
WarbossGogangash
KOMMANDO NOB
Ellie
yes, the other two ork elite units are meganobz (which have rockets similar to the killa kanz) and a kommando nob, which was spotted in a screenshot.
Kingsley
Is it a Kommando Nob, or a Kommando squad? I somewhat suspect the latter, because that would fit into the early game elite "tiers" more easily:
2-EP Tier (early aggressor squads):
Deathwatch Kill-Team
Striking Scorpions
??? (I suspect Kommando Squad)
3-EP Tier (support psykers)
Jonah Orion
Farseer Macha
Weirdboy
4-EP Tier (melee commanders)
Jain Zar
Gabriel Angelos
Warboss Gorgutz
AsgarZigel
If he was spotted, he wasn't a very good Kommando.
Ellie
ah, got it.
you can spot him on top of the wall. It's either a kommando nob or a flash gitz nob.
WarbossGogangash
I'm 100% sure he is a kommando nob.
Wizardgreen
Let me tell you !
Ork's 2 ep unit is Stromboyz or Strom Nob，You can see it on video - Assemble Your Troops Online at 0:06.
My english very bad, hope u understand what am I talking about!
and you can also see orther Space Marine Elite same video at 0:18 !
WarbossGogangash
I don't know what are you talking about, those were just avarge nobs, but btw thanks for the video, I missed it.
Ellie
he means on the left side, where you can see the elite calldowns.
Wizardgreen
Yes, Left side! That is What I mean , THX
WarbossGogangash
Oh seiith! I wasn't noticing it! Thank u both. I don't think theyll be nobs tho, I think theyll be only a simple stormboy squad just like the striking scorpion squad for the eldar.
Wa2Magge
So, the third Elite-Unit from right is that a Imperial Knight and is it a smaller Version from Solaria ?
WarbossGogangash
Why would it be smaller? It's just a melee imperial knight, all of em are the same size.
Wa2Magge
Dont know, I do not know much about it so and that was just a question.
So Next Question: is there a smaller Version avaiable from the Imperial Knight?
PS: i dont mean the Cybot
Ellie
nope. the imperial knight is the imperial knight, theres no smaller or larger version of it. just like the wraithknight/ork 'naught versions. The melee version is the same as the ranged one, except it has a battle cannon and chainsword instead of the dual gatling cannons.
Wa2Magge
Thank you for that Information. So i saw the "Melee" Version of the Imperial Knight cost 9 Elite Points, does anybody know the stats about that Thing or Abilities for it?
Ellie
nope. No one really knows anything about the melee ork 'naught or the imperial one, outside of it having some sort of shield, which can be spotted in the prophecy of war trailer.
KommandantKavu
At the end of the trailer Assemble Your Troops Online at about 2:15 you can spot the Imperial Knight (Paladin?) firing it's ranged attack (see below the words "Multiplayer Tutorial" .. I didn't see it featured in that video it links to however..)
I'm not sure the Gorkanaut is going to be 'melee' either, since the Mork is considered to be a 'support' unit.. I'm willing to bet the Gork is to be an offense unit.. like IK Solaria who sucks at melee..
KommandantKavu
Also this Venerable Dreadnought Video looks terrific.. SPLAT!
Ellie
well at least the description of the gorkanaut points him toward being a melee offensive fighter, with a flamer, a massive assault cannon, and more melee based fighting on the tabletop. Especially since the gorkanaut is piloted by a nob, while the morkanaut by a mekboy.
KommandantKavu
Do you consider those things as melee? Those things seem very 'range heavy assault' focused to me. (i.e. IK Solaria)
Does anyone recall in the beta how the Mork fared in melee combat? I recall her/it doing pretty well against tanks. And they seem to both have the same style of melee capability with the huge klaw.
PhilthyPhilPhD
The orks might be the race that has both their super units having both pretty good melee as well as pretty good ranged. The trade off might be more down to the types of abilities they employ. The eldar and space marines naturally seem to have a greater difference between their supers. Bother eldar supers have high mobility though so there's that vein they both fall under. The other Imperial Knight seems like it will be better at melee (that seems like a certainty) but what other abilities it will have to define it's role are still up in the air as far as we know.

Morkanaut range dps is good but melee is incredible have more dps than range because mork is cunning but brutal!!
So i guess Gorkanaut will do the same but more brutal ? becasue gork is brutal but cunning!!
KommandantKavu
I certainly can't deny that Orky logic!
