Cyrus.
The most broken unit in DoW2. xD
Well, up until Retribution, then the Ancient takes that honor. xDDD

He is awesome! I would want him by my side in battle. He was a former Deathwatch after all

He was awesome before he was with the Deathwatch , otherwise he wouldn't have been recruited in the first place. Please let him be in DoW 3...

That would be awesome! Do you think Apollo Diomedes should be the protagonist for DoW 3 or should they bring back the Force Commander? Or better yet, make a new character

Either the Force Commander or a nwe one. I kinda...dislike Diomedes, or as I like to call him, Captain Denial. He might be a good fighter but lord, don't let him make decisions; without the other three he wouldn't have taken steps against Kyras or, if he got that far, would still be sulking on the Space Hulk.

That is true. His pride is his biggest obstacle. He gave centuries of his life in service to Kyras so I can understand his point of view a little

Point taken, but after ten years, and he's still that shocked. Weren't those years plenty enough time to mentally prepare himself for that (likely) eventuality, especially after what already had happened at that point.

Fair enough. You are definitely right about him sulking, he was just lucky that Tarkus revealed himself and mentioned about killing Avitus in the same cutscene. It was such a shame since Avitus was my favourite Blood Raven. Did they ever mention what happened to Governor Vandis? If they did, I missed the explanation

KateMetalHead In reply to SkaldicArts [2013-05-08 07:29:01 +0000 UTC]

Didn't even mention Vandis; I'd like to think he's dead. They also didn't say anything about Derosa or even what happenedto Thaddeus and the Force Commander.
By the way: why did Tarkus think taking a vow of silence, while he's one of the few people who knows the truth about Kyras and is obviously taking serious by Diomedes, was a good idea? Wasn't there some other kind of penance he could have done? It's a shame, cause I actually like him as a character.
I did find Avitus useful on the battlefield but as a character, not too compelling. Was there anything he didn't loath, besides shooting things? Right now I can't recall a scene where he wasn't mad about something or talk about he just wants to kill something.

Oh, and I also do hope Vandis is dead. He was shown to be the biggest coward and asshole during the Tyranid infestation. I think he was already influenced by Chaos then

Hopefully they will make a novel which explains some of these questions but I have a feeling it won't be considered canon.

I hope they finally get a good author for that; every book on the games was pretty bad so far. They should get someon like DAn Abnett, someone who actually characterizes people. We know the games, every battle, so I think they shoulod develop the characters and conversations of the game, what I believe to be the interesting part; their relationships to one another, their individual views on thing as the happen and so on.

Cheers, brother. The head was the most difficult part,'cause I've never drawn a human face before, at least not with shading like this.

Cheers, he's my favorite too, plus I've managed to do about every mission with him alone.

Hey, I just wanted to give you an update on the Angelos drawing you've ask for: it's about half-way done, I still need to do the face and the details on his armor, but I should be finished by the end of the month I think. Been kind of last month, with little time to work on it, sorry.
