Dawn of War Ultimate Apocalypse - Might of the Imperial Guard - Baneblades and Titans Online

[@zachscarbrough2727]

You know what the Imperial Guard need? They need the ability to make trenches. It can be like their hunker down ability, but combine it with the durability of bunkers. And you can make them as long as you want, or have row after row of trenches. Anyone else think they need this?

[@Melancholiccube]

Death Korps of Krieg? Yes pleas!

[@zachscarbrough2727]

Melancholic Ghost Another thing that's needed, Chaos Imperial Guard. And they get different units and bonuses for whichever Dark God they worship. Like if they worship Khorne, they do more damage. Grandfather Nurgle gives them more health. Tzeentch makes research faster and gives more requisition and power. Slannesh gives them more moral and the ability to heal from killing other units. Just putting this idea out there.

[@Melancholiccube]

+Zach Scarbrough that'd actually be pretty awesome.

[@lorenzoherreros6641]

and what would you give to all other races to compensate for that? because its a very powerful defensive ability to give to the most powerful defensive race of them all (when it comes to ground defense)

The guardsmen detector unit is the psyker.

[@ellodere4700]

the tyrinids mindlessly run into fields of mines, the dagger wolves holed up preparing artillery, the tau eliminating the orks, good movie to me

[@ellodere4700]

+Ello Dere the guard take a pushwith their mighty titan, burning the roaches and hammering the tau

their attacks in vain, they were forcd to fall back, their advantages lost, the tau are marching

[@ellodere4700]

I feel like shack does not spam enough guardsman for this to be the IG.

"It's a five-player co-op game, where you're playing as Terminators running around one of the big *space hulks*"...ah, I can't remember what it's called..." Shack. Shack I'm mildly certain you're talking about Space Hulk.

SubatomicSeal he was talking about deathwing bby

[@MrTreefoz]

Deathwing being a Space Hulk game. :P

[@RedSpiderZero]

Psykers are detector units for the guard. Also assasins have the Auspex ability which surveys the area around them for infiltrated enemies.

[@LagTheKiller]

Not to mention two dozens of baneblades. We are close to 100 baneblades lost from the campaign.

[@antguy3195]

This game just makes you think about how damn brave the Imperial Guard must be. I mean, in comparison to space marines they are like mice, but just to be out in the far reaches of the galaxy on whatever hellish world they might be stationed on must take some serious courage.

[@Kwak444]

Literally one of your most interesting battles on this mod, absolutely love the spawn you are taking refuge on! Can't wait for more content like this in the near future.

[@chaos3088]

thank you shack for showing this mod, for sooo long i din't even know there is a DOW mod which has so much fun with the original one! :)

[@Peter-jo4oi]

Keep up the DoW content, I love it!

[@chosenrubric7308]

Just seeing the skirmish game setup menu brought back so many memories. This was the best dawn of war has ever been.

[@franciosdeaeruiu7555]

Beautiful. The might of the imperium is truly astonishing

[@memekip555]

Except when one of its commanders are incompetent *cough cough*

[@ChickenWilickers]

Well its nice to see you've improved, but you've still got a long way to go before I think you'd be able to win 1v1 against a hard or even standard AI. This map looks nice, but sort of breaks the AI and results in turutling behaviour. Plus keep in mind having 1v1v1v1 is different from just 1v1. Finally, ensure you do your infantry upgrades pretty early on, their morale is atrocious, and you're going to need them as thick enough meat shields.

[@philganem5867]

This series got me into the 40k universe and dawn of war. Keep it up shack love the series :)

[@ZT1337purepwnage]

ha ha ha i love that you said space hulk and continued on thinking of the name (which was space hulk btw) , thanks for that it gave me a wee chuckle

[@Northernmight]

Enemy AI looks downright broken. They're just not attacking.

[@jackbacon5792]

Northernmight I know this was a year ago, but it’s because he has fog of war turned off. When the AI can see what everyone’s doing by default it seems to confuse them a bit making less aggressive and unsure what to do. With fog of war on though they can be absolutely vicious.

[@dominict9325]

Shack, you have improved a lot. I remember your earlier DoW videos, and I was cringing at how terrible your strategies are. Now, I would be quite worried if I were to play you in a game. A couple of pointers for your dudes, if you're in the late-game, and want a little infantry support for your baneblades that isn't just cannon-fodder, I'd recommend Kasrkins over Ogryns any day of the week. Sure, Ogryns look nice on paper; they're a bulky assault unit that can take a bit of punishment for your tanks, but in practice, they aren't very good. At a squad-cap limit of 7 (before squad leaders), no access to upgrades and a very short range on their guns, Ogryns just aren't up to snuff, as their claim to fame, which is close-combat, is easily countered with the dedicated assault units of other armies. A squad of assault terminators without any upgrades or reinforcements would rip a maxed out Ogryn squad to pieces. Kasrkin, on the other hand, are quite useful. They might seem like slightly better Guardsmen, but they are AMAZING. They are more durable than Guardsmen, have a higher rate-of-fire with their basic guns, their basic guns, the hotshot lasguns, do a lot more damage (they shred Heavy Infantry), and they can be upgraded with weapons that tear apart tougher targets. In addition, they can have more guys, they're a little cheaper than Ogryns, and I find that they really complement an armoured force more than an assault unit ever could. Moving on from the in-game stuff, a fun fact about baneblades and their variants: They're pretty damn rare! Most regiments don't have any, and even the most dedicated of armoured regiments with more tanks than infantry squads would be lucky to even have three baneblades. So basically, in this video, you had the baneblade numbers of about five armoured regiments! It seems that General Shack shares a legendary bromance with the Departmento Munitorum, if they're willing to supply you with so many baneblades! xD

[@chaosmarine5532]

+Pokemaniac Dom Most of the time i have seen ogryns taking out terminators quite easily, also if you attach or upgrade them with priest's they are surely the most dangerous close combat assault unit in the game. This is a gigantic mod after all, i once had like 20 baneblades on the battlefield when i enabled Titan wars, so much destruction. :p

[@dominict9325]

+Chaos Marine55 Huh. In my experience, whenever I trained Ogryns, they got torn apart in short order. Though to be fair, I haven't considered attaching priests to them before. But that aside, I don't like Ogryns anyway, for one simple reason: They're an assault infantry unit. In a shooty, mechanized army. They're just so.... Out of place.

[@chaosmarine5532]

+Pokemaniac Dom They are officially in the lore and they are even dumber than orks but ogryns are stronger than most orks, there was this one ogryn called Nork i think who headbutted a ork warboss to death, so one should not underestimate them.

[@samt9468]

+Pokemaniac Dom Ogryns are not so useful when you have your ranged advantage but they play a valuable role when the enemy is in your face. They are big and tough compared to your standard infantry so they are very useful for covering your ranged infantry while they reposition. When you can fire at long range Kasrkins are better but when the enemy deepstrikes or their assault infantry jumps into your lines, Ogryns with priests are far more useful to your force's survival. Think of it like this, in an army that is determined to have an answer to every problem, ogryns are your melee meatshields.

[@PraetorGix]

+Pokemaniac Dom Worried to play this dude? You better practice a bit more then.

[@mivapusa]

You'd need either Psykers or the turret-upgrade tp spot stealth units - which you props know by now - as well as the Sentinel being capable of it, and the assassins should SHOULD be able to do it as well.

[@nanoman172]

So, the game you were talking about in the intro, the one where you wander around space hulks. I believe you were referring to Space Hulk.

[@martinsmelka8878]

nanoman172 it is called Deathwing and it is a Left 4 dead like game

[@oddluck4180]

It's Spacehulk: Deathwing

[@flashgordonsthemesong2838]

This comment is completely unrelated to Dawn of War, but SHACK! A new game just got released on Steam: Angels Fall First. It's a sci-fi FPS, but the coolest thing is the space combat. It looks like Homeworld, but it is all in first person. The ships are fully furnished inside, you can fly anything from a fighter, to a corvette, even the actual BATTLESHIPS. YOU CAN FLY A BATTLESHIP IN FIRST PERSON. Sorry for the rant, but anyone who has seen this game agrees with me that it would be awesome to watch Shack play it. I just got it last night and I've been enjoying it so far.

[@MrBochunks]

Great job Shack, you're really improving!

[@wrathful_grayp1810]

"THE TITAN HAS FALLEN"- all troops rout

[@michaelscholer1]

Shack it's space hulk you said it and didn't realize it. Also the tabletop game is getting new tau this month so the modders have work to do.

[@jorrdanlinklater534]

Even after seven years it’s still a good video

[@eggmancorp]

The whole time I was thinking when is he going to build Psykers to detect invisible troops?

It is nice to see you being tactical for once shack!!:)

[@The_Eternal_Dawn]

Just so you know the baneblade convoy unit (the little rhinos that can repair the baneblades) also increase the build speed of the baneblades the more you have the quicker the baneblades build.

[@Beretta249]

Fantastic mod. I particularly love the Swooping Hawks.

[@MichaelJohnsonAzgard]

Love the shot of the titan in the background at 36:18

[@CommanderLVJ1]

There 's an addon mod if you go to the ultimata apocalyps mod db page and go under add one that lets you build turrets outside of the control zones Just like you can with mines...

[@sife6550]

Something i noticed is that you dont use commissars effectively (or at all) you can have multiple squads of guardsmen and refill their morale immediately using just one commissar at the cost of executing one guardsmen. so in the end its cost effective and makes the IG was more useful. it allows you to essentially have an unbreakable army of ants that can cause more damage than you would think they could. also you should spam grenade launchers its the most effective IG weapon upgrade for anti infantry.

[@michaelchicky8388]

I know this is a bit late, and I haven't gone through all of the comments, but you can build the psyker from the hq for detection, also building turrets detect stealth. I haven't played this mod so I don't know additional detectors.

[@MrBluman999]

"We'll get through this, I know it!" One has to admire the conscript and his bravery.

[@SweetDevilLyn]

The detector unit for the Guardsman are servoskulls (I think) If not ,you can get a scout from the com tower and use their scan function (the skill's view range is extremely large as well as provide wide area detection)

[@brody_kekoa]

Great Game play man! Love your videos, keep it up!

[@RPNooKian]

Awesome, I've been playing this for like 2 weeks recently. So this is a bit of a surprise to see XD

[@Dakathi66]

1:05:45 Quite possible the coolest freaking thing I've seen in this game yet!

[@dannylew8299]

Just discovered this video. Oh... my... god... I never knew such an amazing mod existed! Fuck this thing is ridiculous!!! AND SO COOL! I couldn't stop smiling the moment the fucking Titan came out! I have to try this mod, I have to see what changes are made. Drastic doesn't sound like it begins to describe the changes made to the Guardsmen, didn't see you make one Commissar/Psyker/Priest at all. What little infantry you used looked insane too!

[@JackShirleyComedy]

Tau Stealthsuits can fire EMP rounds, that's why at 1:03:00 your tank got shut down. The more you know.

[@commanderpower79]

Very cool. Love artillery. Totally turtle is my playstyle! Want to see valefor vs!!!!

[@xXAkitokunXx]

Love me Imperial Guard love them tanks. Haha was awesome seeing this game again. I need to get mine working to play this apoc mod.

[@BOSHx2]

The reason the kroot were so so hard to kill was because they have a special ability which allows them to eat their dead enemies to increase their max health, which can get really out of hand when they have an all you can eat buffet race like the imperial guard.

[@radiationpony8449]

sanctioned psykers are the guard's primary detector units, there frail but can join other squads

[@notthed0d791]

MOOOORE But also some more se rp series would be good too but it would probably be more better with valefor commentating with you and plying but love the content keep it up shack

[@melaertheautoclast8033]

Deep striking a super heavy tank? He must be a tactical genius... CREEEED!

[@SamZappo]

Guard has a good Flyer detector as well. One of my favorite features of the THB guard

[@thecarltonwanks]

Guard detectors are the sentinel scout walker (with upgrades from the Mechanized Command) and the psyker heroes you can get from HQ. Also, experiment with the Kasrkin Veterans from the Comms tower, they're cloaked elite kasrkins who all wield plasma guns and can deepstrike in (ALONG WITH BANEBLADES!). A favorite tactic of mine is to build a few kasrkin vets, and deepstrike them in along with baneblades in the same manner you did your rear attack, because those plasma guns really kill shit fast.

[@MrTreefoz]

So I just went and played this map myself and it seems no matter what race, difficulty or rule set is played, the A.I just turtles itself. Making a win extremely easy .

[@jamesthomas6234]

the game he was talking about where you play as terminators is called: space hulk death wing

[@bluebear3812]

Great video, love the Guard. I know the Titans are awesome but you can't send them off without support. Have a few tanks or at least some heavy infantry with the Reaver to deal with the smaller units.

[@Dorsidwarf]

One of the marauder aircraft is a long-range stealth detector

[@Galaar8934]

In case no one has answered yet/you haven't figured it out: The IG use an upgrade on Sentinel Walkers to detect, as well as the assassins I'm pretty sure, Psykers, and Marauder scout ships from the comm tower. Not sure if there's more or not but there you go.

[@Galaar8934]

+bumblebee1041995 Oh, and listening posts/the heavy bolter/anti-vehicle turrets.

[@jenniferheard3907]

To this battle, and they have all been lost due to incompetent command

[@kubexxiii4386]

Shack the Guard has two means of finding stealthed Units; 1) The one you already know. The long range scanner can reveal infiltrated units. 2) Psykers. You can purchase these guys from the Field Command and add them to Guardsmen Squads, or add them to Command Squads. The former option is better if you ask me, and you should consider using it both as a detector and for his Psychic abilities.

[@Sh-kl8gy]

Kube XXIII also sentiniels

[@jojameswls4952]

The first thing I said when I say he was alone was, "God Damn it why no Valefor?" dudes funny

[@BrightCaster]

the titan fight with his honour with shall forever remember him

[@1Okoya1]

Ok Shack , Psykers are yoru attachable detectors , linking them with some Kasrkins is usually good , also Turrets detect Infiltration, and the guard get AUSPEX turrets { no guns but massive detection range } your strategy wasn't bad this time but again pairing AA Hydra's with Basilisks is a nasty one two combo as the Bas will slam them from range and as they get close the Hydra's will rip them apart , plop down an Auspex turret beside them and they are a hard nut to crack

[@sherabtod3728]

was that a minigun made from miniguns in the big tank??

[@SonicNitro]

If I recall form my experience of this game (though I never actually played any of the mods), the Psyker is the IG main stealth detecter.

[@C0LL0SSUS]

Hey shack your detector units are psykers and an upgrade to your sentinels. Also if you have hero's enabled they all have a detection upgrade once they get to about level 5 or so.

[@MrBochunks]

Also, don't forget to build more mechanized commands to increase your build cap!

[@goldbergus4707]

I was just listening to some ork music...this was recommended...well take my sub

[@hardcore_sam192]

+TheXPGamers Lol that Bailisk Magnus killing the tyrannids and your armor medic xD

[@chaosmarine5532]

+TheXPGamers You should enable heroes/commander's next time so you can recruit the Imperial Guard's most dangerous unit called the Primaris Psyker. You should also experiment a bit with the game rules and enable the stuff that you want like titan wars which increases your maximum relic resource by 1000 or even titan wars extreme which basically gives you infinite relic resources which means that you can have a whole army of baneblades and titans! There is also the army cap options which increases the amount of units you can deploy on the battlefield. Don't enable too much though, especially in multiplayer because it can crash or lag too much.

[@thePolmas]

+TheXPGamers I'm in the closed alpha! I'd give you my steam account to play it even! BUUUUUUT yeah, NDA, Sorry Shackyshack!

[@ottovonbismark1872]

Incredible improvement I'd suggest flushing out your army more like your vehicle cap was hit and your inf cap wasn't yet you went in. Karskins, support inf, commanders and attach heroes to squads
