	Perhaps the hardest-to-use Hero in the entire game, the Lord General, in proud tradition of [[Dawn of War\|every game Relic has ever worked on that has the Imperial Guard in it]] seems to be one-dimensional and inefficient - and, insofar as his being a character one can just pick up and use, this is most-assuredly true. The Lord General, at a glance, sucks. His basic traits are abhorrent - no mobility boosting until level 20, poor support abilities until way late-game, limited build options, mediocre damage output in general, and no way to boost his HP, making him the most fragile hero in all of [[Last Stand]].

	Sadly for Relic, if they did intend for him to just suck utterly, they failed, because there's many ways to make him viable, and this guide will show you just how powerful he can be. Using the Lord General involves using your brain and learning to delegate battlefield control - either to your minions, or to your teammates - and adapt on the fly. You cannot deal with enemies in the conventional fashion, and you need to fight smart to get anywhere with the guy. When properly leveled, the General's builds open up much more, and he becomes incrementally more fun to play with each and every level obtained.

	**Planning to run a close-combat General? Congratulations - you're about to try something that takes some serious balls. But then, you're Imperial Guard - this isn't new to you. Start by using Ogryns as minions; they're tough as balls and will keep the heat off of you and on them, where it rightly belongs. From here, the choice is between your Inspired Sword and your Protective Sword - and both are amazing in their own right. The Inspired Sword will bolster the damage of both you and your Ogryns, whereas the Protective Sword, due to a meaty defense boost, will keep you in the fight. In general, the Inspiring Sword is a better choice for strictly melee builds; the damage is close to double and though Clear Out is quite useful, the Inspiring Sword's special attacks functionally make up for the loss. On the other hand, the survivability boost is nothing to sneeze at, and can result in you surviving that much longer. What wargear you take is up to you, but consider Duelist Honors; the massive +40% attack boost is significantly higher than the +30% of the Medallion Crimson, though if you're feeling bold you can use both at the same time for a relentlessly dickish amount of damage that can eclipse a melee-focused Space Marine Captain. Sadly, though, your Ogryns will suffer for it. It's worth leaving the commissar at home with melee builds, as melee pathing in DOW2 is atrocious, and they're yet another body to get stuck behind when trying to get shit done.		**Planning to run a close-combat General?

	With level 11 comes reinforce, and with it, another ability to ignore. Mordian armor comes next, at 12, and though its Plasma Turret seems like a simply grand idea, in practice it's not very good and should generally be avoided unless using it for very specific build loadouts. Level 13 brings you an awesome weapon, however, in the Grenade Launcher, and brings the Guardsmen once more up to the fore. Boasting long range, knockdown, and area-of-effect damage - plus a handy special ability - this upgrade makes Guardsmen much better than anything you've seen thus far - but Catachans remain incredibly handy, so you have legit choices at this stage in the game. The Commissar then comes in at 14, giving you the option of increasing the punch of the Catachans or Guardsmen even further, and giving new life to the flamer and bolter Guardsmen if you were a fan of those in the early game. The Tarantula Missile Turret comes into the fore once more, since now if you use those you can use the added anti-vehicle punch.

	Level 15 ~~brings Ogryns, and with them,~~ another tactical ~~choice~~. ~~Now~~ you can ~~set yourself~~ up with ~~dedicated close-combat builds, and the fun of~~ the ~~Power Swords comes front-and-center. Stick with your~~ Ogryns and use the ~~Inspiring~~ Sword ~~to make~~ for ~~a powerhouse offense,~~ or ~~use~~ the ~~Protective~~ Sword ~~and help keep swarms off them~~. ~~Alternately, you~~ can ~~take the Shotgun~~ or ~~Sniper Rifle and provide a different kind of help~~ to ~~your Ogryns entirely, since like the Catachans, they won~~'t suffer ~~for the change of pace~~, and if you don't like the ~~Ogryns, nothing's stopping you from continuing to use Catachans or Guardsmen still, since~~ they~~'ve been thoroughly buffed~~ by ~~every piece of gear~~ you~~'ve gotten up until now~~.		Level 15 offers another tactical option: the Ogrin. The fun continues in Sword of Power as you can equip special melee weapons. Team up with the Ogryns and use the Inspiration Sword for powerful attacks or the Shield Sword to avoid being surrounded. You can also buy a shotgun or sniper rifle to give O'Green another boost. Because it doesn't suffer from speed changes like Katakan, and it doesn't stop at anything if you don't like O'Gryn. . . Keep using the Katakana bodyguards as they are completely affected by the equipment you use.

	Level 16 brings Armageddon-Pattern Armor and its Vanquisher Turret; if you weren't a fan with how chintzy the Missile Turret can be, you now have an option literally guaranteed to butt-fuck enemy heavy armor, though it weakens your own defenses as part of the bargain, so it comes with drawbacks. Level 17 brings Take Aim!, which lets you buff any of your squads - the benefits of buffing a Grenade Launcher, Ogryn, or Catachan squad is obvious, but the benefits of buffing an allied player or yourself can be even more dramatic. By now, you have choices galore, and this class is starting to become immensely fun to use, as you can see.

	\|details=This build gives you everything you've craved for in the last 19 levels! A pity you can use it only in the end, but this is so powerful (making it really difficult to NOT achieve at least 400 kills per game, and usually going over 500 with ease, while easily keeping you alive) and so fun to use that it really make it worth to suffer to achieve level 20 with the Lord General. This build gives you great survivability, thanks to the Honorifica Imperialis and Tactical Withdraw, while your ranged attacks can wreck any target in the game. Did we mention the Deadly Sniper Rifle has ABSURD range and 100% precision rate? Well, it does. But the ice on the cake is the Rocket Run. Oh, the Rocket Run...First thing first, the damage it does is insane and the area it covers is huge and, with the energy regeneration and the special ops traits, you can essentially spam it, using it every time it is ready and making you clear hordes faster than almost any other hero in the game, with the only exception of, maybe, the Chaos Sorcerer. Maybe. Meanwhile, you can pick the bigger targets with your sniper rifle, making you a veritable one-man army! Finally, the Storm Troopers can be a good distraction, although you should only use them as meat shields, since they aren't worth much more and will not saves you in a pinch. That's what the Tactical Withdraw is there for. If you are ever uncertain within Rocket Run and Storm Troopers, don't think too hard and go with Rocket Run. Just be careful of the few things big and tough enough to survive both your sniping and airstrikes....like Necron Overlord clones.		\|details=This build gives you everything you've craved for in the last 19 levels!

			Variant: Take another armour to get access to a turret as the turret gives you more punch and distraction as the +0.2 energy regeneration. The Vanquisher turret is nice against bigger enemies and if you also replace the Medallion Crimson with a Sergeant your troops will be much better (as they live longer, they distract enemies better and also deal damage over a longer time period - also: how good is a meat shield if it lasts for 5 seconds only?). There is no need to have Combat Expert on either yourself or the troops in this setup: First, the turret deals additional damage. Second, everyone lives longer. As a sniper it is more efficient to shoot wounded enemies or use the knockback to keep heavy infantry back instead of finishing them immediately (sheesh, leave something for your troops and buddies to kill!).

	\|details=Available only late-game, but quite useful for going for the final push, this build focuses on damage stacking Plasma Guns. Commissar is there by necessity, to give your grunts the punch they need, while Take Aim can crank their damage a bit higher and give them better ability to crush enemy armor (or your own if the situation warrants it). Medallion Crimson is on you because the Plasma Gun is ordinarily an awful weapon, but can at least do decent damage in the General's hands if he uses Take Aim. Mordian turret gives you extra boom against squads.		\|details=Available only late-game, but quite useful for going for the final push, this build focuses on damage stacking Plasma Guns.

			\|details=Do you want to afk to wave 17? Do you want to give Iron Warriors and Imperial Fists alike aneurysms? Do you want to embody the firepower of the Imperial Guard? Then summon your Armageddon-pattern Vanquisher cannon turret in a corner of a spawn today! The Stormtroopers and Rocket Run take care of anything that gets too close, while the cannons and your sniper rifle takes down everything else from (from two thirds across the map for the former). It's best to camp in the north-east spawn, because the cannons default to the right direction for that spawn, so they don't need to turn in order to fire, and because of the piece of heavy cover at the back. Don't use rocket Run sparingly, especially not to wipe out the waves that come from within your camp spawn. For maximum hilarity, run a trio of this build, all camping the same place.

	*** This weapon is terrifying both for its meaty regen rate, massive damage per shot, phenomenal range, and ability that lets it fire off a very powerful round for high damage against a single target. It's very useful early on, can be fired very effectively from inside buildings, and has excellent precision - all factors that conspire to make it one of the best weapons the Lord General gets. Unfortunately, the Sniper Rifle has a horrid fire rate, so it leaves the Lord General incredibly vulnerable to being overrun.		*** This weapon is terrifying both for its meaty regen rate, massive damage per shot, phenomenal range, and ability that lets it fire off a very powerful round for high damage against a single target.

	***This is the ability worth taking Lord General through its paces for: An airstrike that utterly wrecks any target caught in the open, and can one-shot the wave 16 and wave 20 foes of Bloodied Coliseum. Be forewarned, however: It's the most expensive such ability in the game and will leave the Lord General with minimal energy, even under the best of circumstances. However, like the Mekboy's Roks, it's so powerful that there's just almost no reason to ''not'' take it along.		***This is the ability worth taking Lord General through its paces for: An airstrike that utterly wrecks any target caught in the open, and can one-shot the wave 16 and wave 20 foes of Bloodied Coliseum.
