	Excellent campaign, excellent ending. Especially the implication that once he's done with Kyras, Abaddon is next. See, Eliphas has a <s>bad</s> good habit of SINDRI-ing his superiors.

Especially the implication that once he's done with Kyras, Abaddon is next. See, Eliphas has a <s>bad</s> good habit of SINDRI-ing his superiors.

	He seems to have been nerfed somewhat as of the latest patch, even on easy units can routinely survive sweeping doom, hurt badly but still alive. He no longer has superheavy infantry armor, and can be shot to death in the face of massive dakka. Vehicles and monsters give no fucks about sweeping doom and laugh off non-maul weapons. You can rectify this somewhat by getting the flaming skull and going full Khornate, as a single barrage will shave huge chunks of HP off just about anything, letting you beat it down the rest of the way. Optimally, Kain/Varius should really be pulling anti-tank duty while Neroth and Eliphas roll around in melted enemy infantry.

	He's also fairly slow unless you take the Tzeentch path. Which is unfortunate as the Tzeentch path is mostly mobility and debuff powers and you only have ten points to spend unless you get a mod to rectify this. Getting said mod is recommended as it ups the campaign to eleven and lets you try out interesting abilities usually passed up for the more effective builds.

	'''Torquill Eliphas 'the Inheritor'''' (or simply Eliphas) is a Chaos Lord featured in the [[Warhammer 40K]] ''[[Dawn of War]]'' [[/v/\|vidya geym]] series. He made his first appearance in ''Dark Crusade'' as the villain protagonist/main villain who [[~~Dark Apostle~~\|led]] the [[Word Bearers]] legion on Kronus, and surprisingly made a future appearance in ''[[Dawn of War 2]]'' expansion ''Chaos Rising'' as a champion of the [[Black Legion]]. Eliphas is an Ensemble Darkhorse. That means that he's a character who's gained an unexpected level of popularity, as he was intended as a one-shot character. This was due to a number of factors, the most significant being that he was '''badass'''. (He now has his own book, bitches! So yeah. It's [http://www.blacklibrary.com/all-products/hh-inheritor-ebook.html here], set during the Horus Heresy where he tries to open a portal in Kronus. Yeah, really!)		'''Torquill Eliphas 'the Inheritor'''' (or simply Eliphas) is a [[Chaos Lord]] and former [[Dark Apostle]] featured in the [[Warhammer 40K]] ''[[Dawn of War]]'' [[/v/\|vidya geym]] series.

	Eliphas was truly an anomaly. In what would become a [[Lord Bale\|series]] [[Crull\|of]] [[Firaeveus Carron\|incompetent]] [[Chaos Lord]]s, he was actually a legitimately cool character. His was a personality of insane zealotry, berserk bloodthirst, dark charisma, and [[Creed\|tactical genius]]. He had excellent voice acting, an excellent aesthetic, and also wondrous gameplay. He was without doubt one of the most deadly hero units in all of Dark Crusade, capable of taking down and destroying utterly Gorgutz 'Ead Unter and the Necron Lord (unless he used that Essence of the Nightbringer ability. seriously, Artifacts allow the Necron lord to handily outclass Eliphas, if only by virtue of the Noobcron lord being untargettable during EoN. <s>[[Skub\|Fortunately it doesn't last long, he's easy to kite and his damage is pretty shit compared to Eliphas' anyway]].</s>) Keep in mind that this was the time Dawn of War was gaining more RPG traits. He also was loved for his sinister, cruel quips and dickish manners, consistently putting down his enemies not only on the battlefield, but also with his eloquence. He was also the first to imply the Blood Ravens' possible descent from a Traitor Legion, making him incredibly important to the overarching plot arc of the Blood Ravens.

	*Ironically considering his origins as an undivided lord, speccing him out as Khorne is the only way to make him effective in the campaign unless you specifically intend to fuck around with the options the other options offer (and they lack the balls-out melee punch of the former). Speccing him out as Khorne makes him more effective a combatant than every other melee campaign hero put together. This is rather fitting, seeing as how Eliphas roars out; 'Blood for the Blood God!" and "Skulls for the Skull Throne!" very often during gameplay. He has been nerfed a bit though while heroes like Diomedes and Bluddflagg got buffed. Be aware that he has lost his superheavy armor type and sweeping doom has been toned down somewhat damage wise.		*Ironically considering his origins as an undivided lord, speccing him out as Khorne is the only way to make him effective in the campaign unless you specifically intend to fuck around with the options the other options offer (and they lack the balls-out melee punch of the former).

	*Speccing him out as Khorne not only makes him the most damaging unit in the game, it also makes him into the most successful troll in the game aside from that asshole, Kyras. Any unit hitting him will become consumed with RAGE and start hitting each other.

	* Evidence from Retribution and Dawn of War: Dark Crusade show that Eliphas serves Khorne above all the other Chaos Gods. The proof for this is that, Khorne is the only Chaos God he invokes by name (along with Tzeentch) and generally acts pretty Khornate. He likes fighting and killing more than regular Chaos Lords and gets angry pretty quickly.[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DJCii1NAYw He also invokes Khorne more than the other Chaos Gods.] It is finally proved in Retribution, where he literally screams the infamous 'Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne!' warcry regardless of whichever specialization you give him and generally keeps invoking Khorne at the exclusion of every other God except Slaanesh when killing Eldar, and Nurgle, when he tells their followers to fuck off. And he's not respectful in either instance. He also has this frightening fixation on bleeding his enemies out, as is noticed in the first Chaos mission.		* Evidence from Retribution and Dawn of War: Dark Crusade show that Eliphas serves Khorne above all the other Chaos Gods.
