Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2 - Faction Wars 2023 | Imperial Guard vs Eldar #2

[@BlueyWolf]

IT TAKES 100s of YEARS to train an eldar and it only takes 30 seconds to launch emperor's wrath filled rockets with a valkyrie.

[@BunkerJunker]

Gotta love the rocket run cam. Great addition to your already superb casts.

[@data3419]

Would be great to see that in future casts too

[@anjairis]

Yeah I was thinking same thing.

[@eqquilibrium]

Yup nice touch, great job, keep doing that :)

[@TnTRapeist]

Awesome addition!!!

[@Nerdasaurus13]

Loved the picture in picture for the Rocket Run, the extra effort shows!

[@michaelbizon444]

Ditto^

[@ManusDei23]

I loved the picture-in-picture idea for when you have two big battles going on. Definitely I'd want to see used more often.

[@BlueWasAlreadyTaken]

Love that nuke-cam, awesome thing to have

[@Mckudenomg]

Im all in for the "Nuke-Cam"

[@CtrlAltRetreat]

Elysians always had grav wing insertion. All storm troops and tempestus can grav drop in at any point of a valkyrie flight path. But for jump troops from grounded, only the pre heresy militias have something similar but they're not quite the same. Solar militias had the option for jet packs which are better than jump packs but use pre heresy tech. Jet pack infantry use a movement type similar to how crisis suits move

[@dow2_elite_mod_cloud]

it would be cool to see valk drops in some form on IG

[@mad_prophet]

Storm troopers ARE tempestus scions, but reworked by GW

[@Killerz34]

Holy cow was not expecting that rocket run cam. Thats perfect. Watching for years now (literal) and thats a nice touch!

[@hebuszetroll]

terrific effect about the "west side rocket run" !

[@CtrlAltRetreat]

The picture in picture is a great addition btw

[@georgeblair3894]

Ogryns can make you re-think a lot of your life choices. Well played all around. [spoiler] Stormblade was the turning point. Even though Eldar did eventually retake the west side, IG went from a 300 point deficit to establishing control of the west side when that behemoth hit the field. [/spoiler]

[@parapotato]

To answer your question about guard jump packs; Jump packs are really more of a Space Marine thing, as you need to be a super human to survive the slam into the ground after using one, but several guard regiments specialize in the use of Gravchutes which are similar but function more like parachutes.

[@urwifesboyfrnd5478]

There is a guard regiment that specializes in part with jump packs, they're called the Elysian Drop Regiment

[@DarranKern]

Please never hesitate to add in picture-in-picture of other important events. That was excellent

[@Tuberuser187]

The little picture in picture of the rocket run was a really nice touch, great cast all around too.

[@daviddisabatinojr5972]

The PiP was a very nice touch, I hate missing out on Xenos being exploded

[@ezekielthedragon7558]

I believe I've read about warlocks in around 5th edition. If I remember it corectly, a warlock is an eldar warrior psyker that has walked the path of an aspect warrior prior to becoming a psyker, well a psyker that uses his mind for battle at least.

[@NickLupercus]

Good on Indrid for going back an making sure we could see that incredibly satisifying rocket run. Seeing the Emporer's wrath like that made me a happy camper.

[@SnakeHistorian]

Elysian drop troops were always jump pack troopers that used to have a model.

[@tylerholbrook8634]

WESTSIDE ROCKET RUN ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻 the amount of effort you take to make these continues to grow. Thank you Indrid 🙏🏻

[@charlesman8722]

Imagine: your an avatar of khaine and piece of the bloody handed god and the ultimate weapon for a dying race… only to get beat to death by a cultivated human that eats grenades.

[@CtrlAltRetreat]

Ogryn are natural. They're the natural result of colonists that spent millennia on high grav worlds. It's why they're not considered mutants or augments. Abhuman means from human

[@zoxin9293]

@@CtrlAltRetreat why are they so big and high though? I mean high grav worlds = more strength, but also shouldn't it mean smaller body?

[@agidyne9676]

I usually just listen to these games, but for once I’m a whole I actually watch them. I caught that camera of the bombing run. I don’t remember him using a c like that before. Really great addition!

[@davidrossa4125]

For centuries the Exodites watched the Imperium encroach on their maiden world, debating on the correct course of action. When their judgment had been concluded sprawling cities and millions of humans already covered the world. Nonetheless the Eldar would cleanse their home anew. However the humans, though living in verdant paradise were far from defenseless.

[@ezekielthedragon7558]

12:20 Not really. Although there is something called the grav-chute which the guard sometimes uses instead of parachutes. It's not very common. The guard just does not see a use for them. There are some regiments like the elysian drop troops, but they also mostly use them for insertion and not as a space marine would for close combat assault and literally crushing the enemy with their bulk. Or an eldar swooping hawks for rapid strike and fade attacks.

[@A_Laughing_Matter]

Awesome game y'all thanks. Indrid I liked the showing of the rocket run that was missed nice touch good Sir, as always thanks for the cast!!! Comments for the Comment Throne!!!

[@BunkerJunker]

awesome game from all involved. Absolutely loved to see some really nice spotter play.

[@e21big]

Can't believe those Prisms actually survive all the way to the end of the game. Deimos had been way too passive with his tank I guess, had he pushed a little more aggressively those should've been dead a long time ago.

[@BlueyWolf]

Im surprised noone mentioned the Harakoni Warhawks regiment. Well they are not really a jet pack infantry but they are excellent at staying in the air long times in an orbital drop and landing on top of the enemy.

[@MarineCARMINE]

Good game, that was a fun match to watch.

[@montypython5521]

Love the variety of units on the field

[@Azrael-XIII]

Yeah it’s always nice to see a game where both teams play well and neither team spams a particular unit

[@MoRanes]

Such a great job casting these games - thanks for doing it!

[@dyamonde9555]

awesome game. Finally a nice showcase of the Stormblade. Certainly the most visually spectacular unit in the game.

[@dow2_elite_mod_cloud]

glad you like it!

[@dyamonde9555]

@@dow2_elite_mod_cloud i don't like it, i fucking love it. Awesome design, with that house-sized Turret, and the weapon is incredibly satisfying to watch. Seriously one of the coolest Units in any RTS i ever played.

[@Azrael-XIII]

I know it’s been mentioned in numerous other comments already, but that PiP of the rocket run was a great addition Indrid. Would definitely love to see more stuff like that in future cast (if it’s not too time consuming to add). Good match all around, nice comeback for IG and still a well played game by Eldar. I feel like Eldar didn’t use their mobility enough to their advantage and tried too much in the later half to just “dig in” and fight IG head on. The complete lack of Wraith Guard against IG was also a bit disappointing.

[@dyamonde9555]

i don't think i've ever seen 6 Units die in that short amount of time. that Nuke was brutal. 4 Brightlances, a Guardian Squad and the Autark i believe?

[@KieteDech]

THe picture in picture was really cool!

[@gardner81234]

Love the video in video 😀 Your casts are a treat

[@dow2_elite_mod_cloud]

rocket run cam starting at 24:04

[@taytonclait]

Love me a good old West Side Rocket Run

[@SSangsen]

That additional cam around 24:00 was a great idea!

[@josephkalscheur5160]

Very much enjoyed the little sub camera for that Rocket run. Would love to see more of that in the future.

[@Ketiseb]

Most interesting matchup to be honest.

[@Tenso761]

Now that is one fancy nuke cam you got there! Very snazzy!

[@pontiusporcius8430]

The storm blades have been performing more notably than the baneblades as of late

[@dow2_elite_mod_cloud]

we've got some complaints that it might be too strong, though for a while it seemed like no one was using it

[@lukmaanpratomo6866]

I love the moment when both the Leman Russ & Stormblade appeared, EVERYTHING in the center just went silent.

[@reaganmcmahon6955]

Wasn't expecting rocket run cam, but I mightily appreciate it!

[@Valerabetmen]

Like always thx for good cast!

[@richardsalas2845]

1:14 retreat by anime running like Naruto

[@flipkenx]

Fun game, lotsa flares to dance around.

[@Fableheim]

Rocket run cam VIP :D

[@thogz777]

My guy got the sidecam wargear, we're in tier 3 now

[@euphoria7046]

Vanquisher needs a nice muzzle on his barrel maybe.

[@DimirGarage]

Nice pip on that missed RR.

[@Thekentuckyrebel]

Tanks for the win!

[@MrMysticphantom]

Triple fire prisms huh.. Thought that would give the Eldar the game.. gusss it aint that easy

[@impregnable-retributioneli1530]

FP is not good vs IG. IG anti vehicle units like Missile Sentinel and Heavy Weapons Team with T2 shield upgrade are immune to knockback. FP rely greatly on being able to knockback anti vehicle units and guard nullifies that point in that manner. In addition, FP rely on outranging enemy vehicles to kill them but guard nullifies that one too. Leman Russ with a vanquisher cannon has only a slither of shorter range than FP. Both vehicles are equally slow but LR is much tankier and has batter damage. This means outranging them is not possible unlike when facing other races' armor.

[@seedofpower]

[@817Dream]

Eldars just can't get a W

[@sephiroaone-of-nine101]

Once more we see overpowered unbalance game play

[@mad_prophet]

Eldar tanks are looking soooo lame. So thin and so slow. Especially comparing with Leman Russ Vanquisher, that is slow too, but have high fire distance and many HP. Or maybe it's a lame gameplay?

[@boghyboghy3642]

Another disapointing Eldar game.... GG though

[@blackindian9554]

Eldar sooo weak Compared to other faction Also that top guy pulled a lot of stones
