"The minefields will go away eventually even if we can't spot them."
He says it in such a calm and innocuous way that I almost forgot the way he'll get rid of them is by throwing hundreds of poor conscripts at it and watching them violently detonate.
A true Imperial Captain.
I think you "misread" their unit title. They're not "Conscripts", they're "Penal Legions." *Wink wink, nudge nudge.*
truely the best fix
@@patriot17764th I think it was general Zukov of the soviet army that said that if their were land mines tell your men to walk through them as if they are not their.

Five minutes in, and Shack has already trapped his Guardsmen between slavering Orks and a minefield their own allies laid.
If I were in the IG I'd pin a damn medal to your chest. You're a credit to the Imperium.
Who here remembers the old days of ultimate apocalypse when shack still played with valefor?
Now there's a name I have not heard in a long time
Did he ever say why he stopped playing with Valefor
@@shadowofhawk55 not as far as I know but he might've answered that in a livestream or something. Either way I miss valefor's commentary so much. Dawn of war just isn't the same without him tbh
@@Madd69 indeed...
@@LonelyMinnesotan1 Valefor's dry tone mixed with his various voices and constant disappointment in Shack made those earlier videos.
BREAKING NEWS: Imperial vehicle name-givers have run out of adjectives referring to various means of victory and extreme carnage, as they desperately search dictionaries for new words to name the imperiums vehicles and weapons while the emperors most holy inquisition begins an investigation for possible heresy on their part
Guardsmen: " sir there is heavy cover in that crater right there"
Shack: "cover? Guardsmen are supposed to die in the open not fight from cover"
Every time someone insults DoW as "MOBA" style game, the emperror cries a single tear on his eternal throne.
Yes and we know what to blame for this!
@@cybruiser57peti The pretender game, that shall not be named lest the servitor documenting this be given the Emperors mercy and be put out of its misery.
On a serious note while not a terrible game by itself, it's a bad Dawn of War game in my opinion.
I would love to see the other factions covered too.
It is also worth mentioning that the Unification Unlimited addon is on the Modb,that removes caps.
IG are getting more stuff in the next version,namely aircraft.
In the next update, the Guard will get some upgrades!
You can also build a Imperial Knight. I believe it's a second tab to build from with a worker.
I was wondering what the advanced build button did with the enginseers! I was hoping that Shack would try it out
@@singerman7560 Yeah, the Guard get to build a single Imperial Knight from the building in that tab. It's pretty cool. (I play Guard and Knights on the table top.)
@@RaptureZJ88 Awesome! I'm sure Shack will showcase that again considering how much he loves the Imperial Guard!
The builders have an extra button now called "advanced", which allows you to build the structure that gives you the Knight. Been watching your stuff for years and absolutely love your content. Probably my favorite channel on youtube.
There are little flags in the vanilla game for IG upgrades on buildings, yes.
yah mention larger scale battles several times with how many people were in your conscript and guard units but I believe that has no effect on how large single units get just how many units you are capped to at the top left
The Faction you played last time are the Imperial Fists they are Space Marine Fortress builders and defense master so much so out of the original 20 space marine legions they were chosen to defend Terra(earth) although they should be Yellow and black not pure black. And yes they are the coolest Chapter. Stalwart and unmovable.
the sound of artillery is excellent as a alarm clock and lullaby, just ask any good guardsman
shack, you missed one leman russ variant, the INCINERATOR, the leman russ with the huge VOLKITE, it was next to the vanquisher button
This seems like a cool mod, but I just cant trade the shear number of different units and buildings you get from Ultimate Apocalypse. I really hope the UA team take some inspiration from this mod
not to mention the lack of *limits*
@@vaelophisnyx9873 There is an addon for this mod that removes the limits. The battles can get as large in the options menu. While I love Ultimate Apocalypse, the new 9th edition Necron models and the new survival mode, plus the sheer variety of factions makes this mod better in my opinion.
Given that UA apparantly took a lot of assets from the Uni creators without consent, it's highly unlikely. UA is afaik archived and inactive.
My dude, UA is dead, the mod team exploded. This mod can do way more anyway
@@ArkhBaegor ai is far better too. It actually retreats and skirmishes with you
Yooo shack in this mod it isn't like UA where heros are super tanky, even the primarchs you field can die,Also the imperial guard gets a knight under advanced production using a tech priest
The rules are simple, I see Cpt upload, I watch.
I feel like the Ogryn are critically underrepresented in this video...
The 597th Valhallan is my favorite regiment! :)
Was playing the new AotR mod as the Black Sun, on Corrupt the Core gc map, and managed to hijack a Rebel building on the Mannan that was almost finished building. Now I can build Rebel spec ops, or which ever the ones that land with scout bikes or tantans
Wait the Black Sun can do what now?? Shit they were already super annoying to deal with
It may be a glitch. In the same GC, I invaded in Imperial controlled Freshea and they had more units on the ground units what they should've and isb agents everywere. After I won, The planet was still under Imperial control with one building left all my units that landed were gone. Launch a 2nd invasion and my lost ground troops were in the defence spots and my turrets were still in place, so it didn't take long for them to tear down the one building since most of them were right beside it
Me a diehard Harakoni fanboy.
him: ooh harakoni look cool
Me: T_T thank you
We need a full campaign of you playing this!
I really enjoyed this vid, I’ve been playing the uni mod a lot lately and have discovered I have the most fun playing with hardcore, true reinforcement and fallback mode all enabled.. makes for a really intense battle like these ones. Thanks for showing how fun it can be
I 2nd the hero thing. Old school RTS games had a good design, where the hero is a regular unit with better stats and a unique portrait.
Shack should try the survival maps sometime. Gets crazy, especially vs chaos daemons.
Everything dies quickly in the 40K, or at least, one would hope to die quickly... The Omnissiah protects!
I was playing imperial guard last night and then all of a sudden random tanks started showing up and random troops who were doing things on their own without my input! I'm excited to find out whats going on. lol
Love this type of content
"Once you're in the mine field don't stop"
Yeah... that's horrible advice
lol
My 2nd favorite faction because of IG Hellblades Dakka Dakka carnage, my first isn't in the game: Imperial Knights = Max Dakka Dakka Damage.
Imperial upgraded infantry is pretty good too, with ogryns and karskins availible at tier 2 which is nice so guardsmen stop dying so much.
I think you might like the Steel Legion Shack, they're an Imperial Guard regiment that are FAMOUSLY known for using tanks, lots and lots of tanks :D they're the specialists of mechanized warfare in 40k and they're awesome.
Death korp of kreg? No my dreams are crushed
They are developing one.
They are hot damn I can't wait
The iron legion also have a kreig colour scheme and wear gas masks. A nice substitute for the meantime
@@muhc2931 Agreed. However, I believe you mean "Steel Legion".
Also they are lot of fun to fight with against most enemies.
Nice! More vids from this mod! :D
yo shack you had a entire nother building for titan units like warhounds and ect its the advanced structure icon right below the normal build que icon for tech priests
Damn it shack get the Commissars to help with the morale.
Personal favorite faction is the IG, most certainly. I like castling and using heavy artillery to bombard the hell out of any enemy, then push like a bulldozer. The runner-up is Eldar, who I love using for their hit and run, mobile platforms, and the psychic powers and mystical abilities of their units.
I think the heavy stubber shooting bolt rounds is a typo.
In the lore, heavy stubber range from Vikers/MG-like machineguns to the M2, iirc
Building flags for the guard gave always been there ^^
Sweet! Bring on the artillery!
Space Marine stronghold mission has one missing teleport beacon. Other than that I found this mod is great
Captain Shack, You are awesome sir!!! Loving the contennt as always :) Pease please please try a game using the Steel Legion (Death Korps of Krieg)
Nice Job Dude:)
Gonna say it now with a disregard to being killed by the rest of the internet. Dow1 was by far the best rts to have existed and will probably never be surpassed. The way unit's came out as squads mixed with the savagery of combat with the armies without all being sluggish even for a moment is awesome. Explosions, gunlines, hacking and slashing, it's just flawless. The people modding this forbidden gem are living saints. I personally don't think there'll be a game that'll replace it for me, even its predecessors struggle to match its grossly incandescent nature. What I would love for the game is a full graphical overhaul to a more modern style, however I reckon if gw tried that they'd also change the game and ruin it while they're at it.
Also, what's the survival mode like? Is there a win condition or is it until you inevitably perish or get bored? I've not gotten around to trying said mode
Survival mode is basically 10 increasingly difficult waves of enemies (races of which can be chosen from any of the ones in base Unification) on set maps. You can tell which ones in the map selection screen because it will have [Survival] next to the name. Some races are harder than others, and it scales with difficulty. You can also add extra options, such as Enemy outposts and Heroic Defence to create some seriously difficult survival matches.
Just a warning though. Emperors Children have the strongest survival profile (basically how they act, what spawns etc). If you fight them on harder difficulties, you are in for a rough time.
@@Caldaris thank you for the glorious bounty of information. I will make sure to be wary of the ultimate harem as I stand against the tide.
I love Dawn of War and would love to see more uploads. Also when will you cover the new Stellaris DLC?
Hey Shack when you get a chance I would love to see you play the harlequin. I tried playing them and they baffled me even after tutorial and would like to see what you think of them. Great video by the way love seeing any RTS from you.
Love this mod. You should try the new factions and survival mode which It’s a fun and completely insane game mode. Emperors children’s and Imperial Fists are my favorite factions thus far.
When u say like that at 9:19 thats the beauty of DOW40k its unique then any other RTS...its like moba+large army...more for me..i love if they added function for "Drops" like in DOW40k2....and costomization like of DOW40KST where your heroes and units got new perk by picking up an "items or equipment" like in sudden strike where u your normal rifleman can stole ATgun/machinegun and they became that ATgun/machinegun units...and u can keep that units on story mode/online mode where elites units are unique,and heroes too...man just in my dream!wish they do that in DOW40k3
16:57 There were in fact little flags saying what you did research for in the base game. :P
More lore time! the Harakoni Warhawks are one of the main regiments known in 40k for essentially being paratroopers; I don't know as much about them as I do the Elysian Drop troopers buuuttt.......they're cool :D paratroopers are cool
Always love some old strategy games
Definitely wanna see Tau and Adeptus Mechanicus!
The Mechanicus are really "unusual" for new players.
Mostly because all of there buildings are done on top of resource points.
@@Kirkmaximus oh shit that’s so cool though. I’m super excited for when I can download the mod. Unique stuff like that is gonna make it feel so new
Bro we need valefor back for this
Kinda disappointed they ignored the Macharius tank when they put so much effort into adding so many other far more obscure units.
hey shack! i've watched your channel for quite a while and i thought i might suggest a game i thought that you might enjoy. Foxhole on steam is a large persistent battlefield with actual player-led logistics and player led battles, basically player led everything. the game is developed by Clapfoot Games and has a inbuilt clan/regiment system if you have any use for that. think of Foxhole as a top-down and ww1/inter-war/ww2 themed planetside with more in-depth logistics.
it's a unique game that you don't often see well represented on youtube, i thought you might want to check it out since it sorta fits the theme of your channel.
ps: i'm not associated with the devs of foxhole, i'm just an avid player and i thought you would enjoy it as much as i and others do, either way keep up the good work!
Yes, totally agree on preferring non-hero based RTS games. Kinda feels like where they went wrong with later DoW games.
Ok so the factions with Knights are the Dark Angels, Mechanicus Explorators, and Emperor's Children from what I have seen. While the vanilla factions have some new things, there is a lot of new content in the new factions added.
13:40 "squadsmen!" im calling my IG that from now on.
Oooooooohhhhhh, saw a few Vraks regiments at the bottom of that list
Yes, trust the conscripts with flamers.
Min 17: Uh, yes Shack, there are flags in the base game to tell you what upgrades does that building have
If only they could mod in line of site. Seeing turrets shoot through mountains and buildings really cheapens the strategy of positioning
More pls!
To be fair shack, even in vanilla, the hero is powerful, but can only do so much, especially alone.
example: a single space marine force commander in vanilla is good against infantry, but say he is fighting imperial guard. 2-3 squads, without upgrades, are enough to mulch him given a little bit of time and micro. with upgrades it goes even faster. of course, as long as they aren't fighting a anti-infantry vehicle, or super heavy infantry, this could be true for alot of enemies. 2-3 guard squads are enough to take down a singular infantry squad of most every other type and race with little issue.
Now if we start talking space marine squads, especially if they have upgrades and a sergeant, 2 squads of those will mulch most anything, with the exception of super heavy vehicles or end game boss units such as a blood thirster or avatar of Kaine.
Having said that, I have played games where I was forced to fight an avatar of Kaine with basic space marine squads. I won, though it took some micro.
The long and the short of it, the game is not as hero focused as you might think. heroes might feel strong, but that is only really true in the early game or when they are supported properly with other units, otherwise, they can be overwhelmed and slaughtered.
For the EMPEROR!
Od love to see a guard soulstorm campaign with intros like empire at war and stellaris
How have you gotten rid of that white fog that appears when you zoom out?
Titan units for the guard are under the advanced construction from the tech preist
The upset that he didn't build the knight
Totally agree with the heroes comment and I also play with reinforce on control points only :) because of MuH ImMeRsIoN
Do you regularly play don of war? Because I would figure out Twitch (which I find to be a confusing and frightening place) to see more Captain Shack plays Dawn of War.
I want the Guardsmen to have Red Lasgun shots, I’m just used to it that way :(
The Armageddon Steel legion in the Mod have them so why not the Cadians???
I'm enjoying the heck out of the Unification mod. Trying out all of the new factions.
In my testing, the Salamanders seem to have the right combination of being tough AND really fun to use (even though I am a IG fan).
However, lets talk about faction strength changes:
The Orks were fairly nasty in the Apocalypse mod, but it seems to me they were nerfed in the Unification update.
Meanwhile, the Necrons went from being somewhat powerful to melting marine armor with ease powerful. (Which is in line with the lore.)
For some unknown reason, the devs put limits on the Tau unit caps, making them less threatening as an army...
Can anyone else verify this?
Any chance of a play through of the new subnatica?
at 14:38ish i heard your microwave go off lol
nvm i heard it so many times that it has to be part of the game. sounds EXACTLY like a microwave beeping lol
The Knights ARE in the mod! Check out the Adeptus Mechanicus Exploritors if you want to see them!
As well as the imperial guard, shack just missed the production building.
Wish you had built a Hellhound, so we could if you could build the Devil Dog variant.
Or read the description of the Leman Russ Incinerator, which has a freaking Volkite main weapon.
i have seen a few vids about dawn of war Unification Mod the AI can be prery argrssive in early game i can understand that you get confused why the orks are already near your base i woud be consfued also when that happen
Ok so you should check out the Adeptus Mechanicus faction, however be warned they are a very different and unique play style so I would advise playing with someone who can give you advice and talk you through it if you want to "do it live" or play a round with them off cam to learn them, but I think you will really like them especially based on your comments from this video!
Admech could do with a units update though. The original mod predates all of the actual tabletop admech miniatures designs.
@@RoboticPope Exactly why it's 1 of the reasons I want Shack to cover it, if it gets some attention it might get the update, plus its also why I said it might be good to play co-op like the Valfor days 👍
is anyone gonna talk about the fact we ignored the "advanced construction" the priests got?
in the advancement tab there a imperial knight
If you can do a paint job on the army that makes them all look like there from krieg 👌
The Steel Legion is a different faction in the game.
Heck, I should get this. Dawn of War is great! Does it add Dire Avengers, Striking Scorpions, Swooping Hawks or Wave Serpents?
Unification doesn't have any of those. Guardians do get a research option that changes them into Dire Avengers though. The mod also adds Shadow Spectres, Wraithguard, Wraithblades, the Wraithknight and the Revenant Titan iirc. All the normal units from the base game (Fire Dragons, Warp Spiders, Howling Banshees, Dark Reapers etc) have all received cosmetic updates.
I've been struggling to get the mod running cause the mod manager keeps telling me it can't find Tyrannid Art and the space marines only had basic units, none of the extra stuff. Are you running extra mods on top of unification?
The unification mod requires the Tyranid mod and one other mod, the MODDB page is really bad at explaining which mods you need. Look at some of the comments, they help explain.
Hey @TheXPGamers can you make a tutorial on how to install this ?
Shack!! Have you ever played Supreme Commander?
MOREEEEE
Yesss
is unification mod like a upgraded version of ultimate apocalypse or is it equal to or less then UA?
Id say equal but somewhat less imo. I know UA has its own issues but I couldn't play Unification for very long because it felt like vanilla plus some extra, not mention the version with all races would crash within 3 minutes in the menu. The bland version was stable though.
What mod is better unification or ultimate apocalypse
You know you are supposed to use "whiteshields" as mine sweepers, right?
how do you see the range of your units?
I definitely prefer unification over UA, unification is way more balanced, doesn't rely on just right-click rallying units to the fight and doesn't have an average FPS per game
cant go wrong with Cadian 8th
Is the music taken from Warhammer Space Marine 3rd person shooter?
They took music from multiple different games.
I was playing the Space Wolves when all of sudden Skyrim music started blasting away!
It felt very immersive charging into necrons with that kind of music :D
I truly hope they separate the different guard types. Why are there different space marine factions, but not the Krieg, Cadians, Catachan, etc etc etc
Just as many IG factions as there are SM ones
Krieg is coming
I *LOVE* the Imperial Knight, because of how versatile they are compared to the Astartes’ Titan. It feels so fluid and amazing, and can solo literally everything instead of being reliant on a backup against melee enemies that WILL overwhelm the Titan’s little tiny feet, screwing up the Titan’s AI and immobilise it too for some reason 😂 while that thing will never happen to an Imperial Knight since they’re fast af boi
Real question as im new to being subbed. Why dies it take forever for xcom to be uploaded? Is it a once a month thing?
Just depends on when he plays it on twitch, and if a bunch of shiny new mods or games are released that distracts him. Some of his series will fall apart but he usually finishes them. if not posted to UA-cam then his twitch (captainshack).
@@attackonpotato3490 well i certainly hope thats not the case. I dont do twitch and xcom is the only reason i subbed
@TheXPGamers You never built the advanced building that's where you build your imperial knight
