    Holy SHIT. I played the demo for this game out of sheer curiosity, and HOLY SHIT. This game is so good. WHY DIDN'T YOU GUYS TELL ME THIS WAS SO GOOD?!

    Kinda sad that I missed out on the Steam deal now though... But I'll buy it on Amazon.

    PM me when you get it. I'm about 1/3 of the way through and would love some co-op that hasn't beaten it 3 times.

    Looted Tanks are incredible.

    However, unlike Space Marines, their repair boyz get murdered in T3, while scouts stay effective all game.

    Honestly Techmarine/snipers/lone predator seem to be the thing for me right now in 3v3s.

    I wish shootas could repair. Shootas are way more useful in T3.

    Well I don't know the precise moment they decided the looted tank should have 850 hp with its upgrade, so I decided to just talk about how amazing the looted tank is in general. Also your question is dumb because it doesn't really matter at all, it seemed more rhetorical than anything.
    What is it like being an idiot? Wartrukks have always had 700 HP and I was asking when they got that extra 150.

    No you didn't. Trukks still have 700 HP.

    You said the trukks had the most HP of any tank, and I said, no, the Looted Wagon (Looted Tank, whatever) does. Then you asked 'since when?'.

    Keep up.

    No, you said Looted Wagons, which I assumed meant wartrukk since, idiots, and I was asking since when did wartrukks get an extra 150 health.

    No wonder you guys think you know anything about the game.

    Sniper support in a 3v3 game is invaluable. I don't know if an all sniper army is optimal, but there have been plenty of games where timely sniper support from Zen has saved my ass.

    They're plenty valuable in 3v3 against most any race. Probably more so with allies to distract the opponent. I'll usually get and try and maintain 2-3 with my SM strategy.

    It's not riding teammates to victory.

    You don't have to make the game into 3 1v1s when you're playing with a team.

    Scouts in 3v3s make great support. We've always had good success with Zen using scout snipers.

    If I have to make the units that provide front line support while he does what he does with snipers, and it works, then it's viable.

    We've done it lots of times, and it's been successful.
    Is it ideal or the most efficient way? Maybe not.

    It throws most people for a loop because it's just not expected most times. If they decide to go vehicles, and usually when they do that, it's heavy vehicles, we can prepare a counter.

    Usually by that time he's got dreads or preds, and it's no big deal.

    I just said that I had said Looted Wagon, and if you can't figure out that I was talking about the only vehicle in the game that starts with the word "Looted," well, you really need to pay attention.

    No one ever said wartrukks got an extra 150 health. Why would you even think that? I mean I was even trying to tell you that Wartrukks didn't have the most health, so unless you just weren't paying attention at all, there's no reason for you to think that.

    After reading the Demi-God thread about balance, all of Dawn of War's issues seem much more manageable.

    In addition, I think when they put imperial guard in, there should be 10 members to the squad and it should have like 1k hp to start. Be faster than Space Marines, but much less armor. Go from there.

    Fuck, you're dumb. The wartrukk is more like a 'wagon' since it's a transport. I figured that you got confused. Shit, son.

    I think Guardsmen should get less than Infantry armor and give them a different armor class like "Conscript."

    I pretty much figured it out a little bit before I said "Oh you guys meant the Looted Tank." So, no, you're the one who is too dumb to figure out that I've already figured it out and doesn't pay attention to posts.

    Actually multiple scouts are a great idea in 1v1 against eldar. God you ARE out of date.

    Entangle is the best weapon. Heavy gauge is too expensive for his energy, power blades are too expensive for your power. They add a much needed utility: the ability to keep things at range, still, or from retreating. They even work on tanks! Entangle also passively increases his damage, which can be useful for scaling into tier 2.

    Armor and accessory generally go hand in hand. If you want to use the targeter for DPS increase, grab the phase shift armor. The ability to stem enemy reinforcements can be invaluable. Furthermore it will allow you to set up incredible eldritch storms if you have the skill for it. Alternatively, just get a SM ally to drop an OB on the frozen units. They'll die no matter what.

    If you want to use the anti-grav grenade, I'd go with health+energy one. It'll allow you to use entangle, grenades, and jump in tandem, as well as allowing for a little more durability.

    This is how I generally build the WSE. Shimmer orb is nifty but feels largely impractical. Teleport armor is excessive and completely unnecessary unless you really like backcapping/need that VP.
