Editing Last Stand (section)

===Tell Me More!===

The first map, Bloodied Colosseum throws you primarily against Eldar, Space Marines, Tyranids, and Orks - I.E. the four cardinal races. You will also periodically see a smattering of Imperial Guard units. At wave 16, the game throws, as a boss wave, 3 health-buffed clones of your heroes, who have AI scripts that allow them to revive one another and generally turn the match into a pass-or-fail session of how quickly your team can deliver a series of explosions directly on top of them and orbital strike them until the squad can see hell. At wave 20 these return, along with [[Araghast the Pillager]].

The second map, Anvil of Khorne, is widely-considered the better of the two maps, though it's far harder for newcomers to handle. It throws literally every race at the team, as well as bosses Superheavies throughout (so you will need to fight the Swarmlord, Battlewagon, Land Raider, Baneblade, et al). The final wave also drops [[Gabriel Angelos]], some squads of Termies and a Land Raider or two for fair measure. Interestingly, this is orders of magnitude easier than Bloodied Coliseum's reviving bosses with a capped-out team and generally more fun.

You all play hero units - there's one of each race, two of whom are classified as paid DLC. Interestingly, though each hero has about 2-3 "common" builds you'll see for them, there's enough customization and tactical choices that you can potentially come up with about a dozen viable builds for each. To further help you out, [[/tg/]] was nice enough to get these little guides together for your use:

*[[Last Stand - Farseer|Eldar Farseer]]
*[[Last Stand - Mekboy|Ork Mekboy]]
*[[Last Stand - Captain|Space Marine Captain]]
*[[Last Stand - Hive Tyrant|Tyranid Hive Tyrant]]
*[[Last Stand - Chaos Sorcerer|Chaos Sorcerer]]
*[[Last Stand - Lord General|Imperial Lord General]]
*[[Last Stand - Tau Commander|Tau Shas'O Commander]]
*[[Last Stand - Necron Overlord|Necron Overlord]]

As you play, your hero of choice gradually levels up, earning new wargear and goodies to play with, including weapons, armor, accessories, and more, which is a major component of what makes the game so addicting - and even better, you can customize your hero's color and emblem using the army painter, for that psychological edge. Each character maxes out at level 20, at which point you have the option to reset to level 1 and earn accessories boosting one's in-game score.
