Eldar Farseer — Ork Mekboy — Space Marine Captain — Tyranid Hive Tyrant — Chaos Sorcerer — Lord General — Tau Commander — Necron Overlord
Because I couldn’t find a complete, accurate list of all the wargear and when it unlocks in Dawn of War II’s Last Stand mode, I’m creating my own in the hopes that it’ll prove useful to others someday. 🙂 If you find these lists useful or have any corrections to make, just drop me a comment at the bottom of the page. Feedback is always appreciated! I have personally verified everything up to level 16, other details are courtesy of friends and commenters.  Thanks to Pika, YoYoDominoYo, PLAsmamAn, and Beelzebot for helping to complete the list. 🙂

Discussion
If your comment doesn't show up right away, don't worry! Sometimes they can be delayed, but it'll appear soon.
I am using and got a lot of sucess with :
– Plasma Gun
-Artificer Armor
– Rite of the Tireless Crusader
– Jump Pack
– Parable of the Stalwart Brother
-Dreadnought Drop Pod
You can shoot on the move, use your grenade for AOE, let the dreadnought tank, move away from big wave with the jump pack and resurect your team with parable of the stalwart brother. This build is a good all around range.
These are 2 of the best builds in my opinion :
– 1st one, for a ranged SM that top 10 players (especially cloning sorcerers) love to meet in non-retribution :
Plasma gun
Armor of vengeance
Rite of fortitude
Parable of the Stalwart Brother
Jump Pack
Larraman’s Blessing (tougher)/Dreadnought Drop Pod (Meat shield)
You can easily do every wave alone up to wave 16, except for wave 14 where Raveners will finish you off, if your friends doesn’t help you to kill them (before dying).
– 2nd one, for a melee SM in retribution in Bloody Arena, for both DPS and tank (wave 16 can be done really easily with this, if you’re a Tactical Genius) :
Lightning Claw
Plasma Pistol
Armor of vengeance
Rite of fortitude
Parable of the Stalwart Brother
Jump Pack
Larraman’s Blessing
Now with this one, you can do every wave alone, except for wave 20 where again you’ll need to be a Tactical Genius to win in a team way.
Mark have you tried going to the left side of the map were the pilars go up and down ther stand on the pilar when it is down but close to the right clif and make sure your foot is on it and when it goes up move your player into the rivine (right clif ) then go to the building at the bottom of te map right and stand next to it then go in it and exit then go to the pilars and stand between the rocks but were any armour that resists knockback
ranged build
plasma cannon
artificer armor
rite of fortitude
terror of the zenos(beacuse your character will get swarmed all the time.)
feel no pain
dreadnought: for all those bad guys coming from behind/bombardment: just beacuse.
Or insted of the blessing i do dreadnought drop pod as command
Do this as a build:
power axe
master crafted boltpistol
rite of fortitutde
llarmans blessing
jump pack
artificer armor
Little guide I’ve been putting together http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=269348257
Thanks for the lists – been using them for a couple of years (on and off) and they are much appreciated! 🙂
Good idea for space marines that want to live longer to get more kills
Lightning claws(350 kills 1 match)
Bolt pistol Health regen 1.5
Sacred relic Good hp
Litanies of zeal
Parable of stelwart brother Health regen 1.5
Jump pack
Larramens blessing
I dont have a slot left for my thunder hammer as i am almost near the acheivement being 40 kills left, where will it go? Cause i really want to use it when I’ve done the achievment
A good combo of classes are:
-The Captain, to heavily hit the enemies using a combo of melee and ranged
-Shas’o’Commander, using ranged weapons to support the Captain
-Farseer to support with health and armor
Thanks btw I found this really useful. I still don’t understand why they don’t just put something like this on their website or something
What everyone says is that the combat shield pairs well with the lightning claws which is true but what is also true is that the plasma pistol pairs amazingly with it and the setup is this-
Lighting claws, Plasma Pistol
Armor of Vengeance
Jump Pack
Rite of Fortitude
Feel No Pain
Dreadnought Drop Pod/Larraman’s Blessing
+1 to jjchen372’s build. I’m not sure about laramans blessing or dreadnought. While the dreadnought is a killing machine if you move/jump around alot it will be following you and not attacking.
I use this build
Weapons:
Lighting claws
Combat shield
Armor:
Sacred relic
Equipment:
Jump pack
Rite of fortitude
Litanies of zeal
Commander item:
Laramans blessing or dreadnought
Captain is the only true tank among all other characters and he is really good at it.
Weapons:
Master-Crafter Chainsword (because it heals)
Inscribed Combat Shield (for more health, armor and range damage resistance)
Armor:
Armor of Vengeance (because he will be swarmed by melee fighters all the time)
Eq:
Rite of Fortitude
Jump Pack (used to engage and disengage from the enemy)
Litanies of Hate (a key to be called a tank)
Commander iteam:
Dreadnought Drop Pod
Strategy:
Taunt all melee units that enter the battlefield and some shooters (just not too many, your companions can also take some hits). When your party clears most of the smaller units, taunt the bigger ones like Eldar walkers, Carnifexes and run around the battlefield allowing your party members to shoot them down.
If your companions know what they are doing you should get to wave16 with ease. If they don’t what they are doing then go with some more focused on dealing damage character.
Best use with:
Tau, Orc, Lord General shoot down the Xenos.
Flows:
Unable to deal with heavy units, weapon platforms. You have to rely on your companions to do this.
Here’s a fun tank build I like to use
Weapons:
Master crafted chainsword
Inscribed combat shield
Armour:
Artificer armour
Equipment:
Litanies of zeal
Parable of the stalwart brother/jump pack
Rite of fortitude
Commander item:
Dreadnought/laramans blessing/orbital bombardment
Basically if your taking blessing get jump pack for using up your energy but if not then use your energy for bombardments/dreadnought and just run around and laugh as nothing can kill you
@Mark
==============
The best group build is Captain – tank class taking on everything, Mecboy – using telebomb to explode the large groups of infantry, Farseer – supporting your team and teleporting everyone away for safety, you should finish wave 20 with this.
