DoW2 Retribution - Adeptus Mechanicus Mod

[Croaxleigh]

Now that the problem of UI editing/adding new races has been cracked by elite modders, it's time to get an "interesting" mod going. There are enough rebalance mods and palette-swap Marines out there, so it's time for something different. ;)

 

"The Quest for Knowledge" is an Adeptus Mechanicus mod, adding the AdMech to the game as a new race. The big thing is that I need units to flesh out this race with, so I figured I'd turn to the experts and see what they thought.

 

Here's what I have thus far, in no particular order:

 

Commanders:

Magos Explorator (Offense)

Artisan (Defense)

Electro Priest (Support)

 

Secondary Commanders:

Techpriest Enginseer

Techmarine

 

Units:

Skitarii

Combat Servitors (close combat)

Gun Servitors (ranged combat)

Imperial Robots

Steel Confessors Space Marines (call-in squad)

Praetorian Combat Servitors (heavy weapons combat)

 

Vehicles:

Specific vehicle variants to be determined

 

Global Abilities:

Specific abilities to be determined

 

Super Unit:

Knight Paladin Titan

 

Anyone have any suggestions for vehicles or global abilities that could be implemented, feedback on unit choices (don't hate on my robots ;) ), suggestions for alternative units/tier placement for specific units/glaring omissions in my unit list? Any help with the organization of the AdMech army would be much appreciated. :)

I'd keep Space Marines out since there is an entire race for that. :)

 

You could add instead some Secutor, which are Techpriests wholly devoted to war.

 

Love that the robots and Knight are there.

I have put some thought into cutting the Techmarine in favor of another AdMech personality (possibly a Cyber-Seer from Dark Heresy, who was on my short list when I considered doing a 4th commander for the race since modders can implement that now as well... much to the joy of those who work on Chaos mods B) ), but I kind of want to keep the Steel Confessors. Both because of their backstory with the AdMech, and because when I was modding DoW I always enjoyed having slight overlaps in my Imperial armies to show the at least tentative connections (though I tried to at least have some reasoning behind the overlaps, as opposed to "here, have some Gray Knights in the middle of your army.")
