This mod is not monetised. I will not be doing any paid mods nor set up a patreon. This is not an official GW licensed product. I will also not pull the mod, and will keep it on the net since any takedowns would be without merit. This mod aims at modifying Dawn of War 2 Retribution to portray combat in a more lore-accurate manner. Prepare to find Space Marines as powerful as the books depict them, ork hordes in their hundreds, and dozens of Guard tanks shelling into an incoming tyranid horde!
The Tau made by Bloodravage are modded in. Model's credits belong to Nastynoodle and the WOA team I think.
Commander :
Weapons:Starts with plasma gun, can get flamer, Fusion gun, plasma missile launcher, burst cannon.
Armors: He can also take two types of shields, and a left hand plasma missile launcher.
Accessories: He can have a gun and a shield drone, a frag rocket barrage launcher, and a triple anti tank rocket launcher.
He has an innate jetpack and AOE heal ability.
Tau Units:
Tier 1:
Fire warriors: 12 tau with pulse rifles. Can uprade to flamers, and add a Shas'ui, a Shield Drone (reduces incoming ranged damage), and two gun drones to the squad. Shas'ui allows them to use medikits.
Heavy weapons squad: Fire warriors with 2 burst cannons, can replace one for a Fusion gun to give the squad some close ranged bite against incoming melee chargers. Shas'ui allows them to use medikits.
Kroots: Like Catachan devils, but less effective at range and better at melee. Pretty much a straightforward conversion, I just added extra health and damage to them.
Devilfish: Transport with a Burst cannon. Pretty much like a Chimera, but faster and without the extra firepower of garrisoned squads.
Tier 2:
Skyray : Pretty much like the Manticore, but got two plasma missile launchers, which make it better when it is attacking a unit.
Battlesuit: Can jump with a jetpack, and starts with a plasma rifle and shield. Can get Flamer and shield, Melta and shield, burst cannon and shield, or dual plasma missile launchers.
Stealthsuits : Stealthed infantry with burst cannons. They can get 4 fusion guns to be better against vehicles.
Hammerhead: Medium tank with 2 gundrones, and a fusion gun. Can upgrade to heavy plasma gun.
Gun Drones: Drones with twin linked pulse carbines. Very fast and very resistant to ranged fire, with good detection, making them an ideal scout/spotter. They can aslo kite most melee units.
Tier 3:
Elite hammerhead: A Hammerhead gunship with a Railgun, and
The Chicken Walker Battlesuit! We meet again my old foe.
