Hmm...If I recall the ork main base is know for mass infantry spam, I think the idea is set up a kill zone and wait(watch youtube or something) after some time passed you should have a big kill score, this is also a good way of getting the 3-to-1 wargear as well.

Again this is only what I remember so I could be wrong.

Edit: There is no in game kill counter so you may have to make a save in the game then kill the orc base and see if you got it, if no then reload and keep waiting.

Yeah this wargear is a bit of a chore.

Thanks i found out in the commander tab there is kill counter but does the wargear apply to one mission or the whole campiagn?

Edit: I'm also playing as the orks i tought of the imeprial guards but after some time they rek me with their tanks

The whole campaign, Its a permanent bonus to your commander.

So if I play chaos and I get a wargear, like say the manreaper. My Chaos lord will ALWAYS have the manreaper and its damage till the end of the campaign.

And yeah, Mass infantry and strong tanks is pretty much what the Imperial guard is good for(and best artillery too).

Get Tankbusters and cloak alongside Wartraks, If this is still on easy you should be able to keep the IG on lockdown.

No i mean do i need to get 2000 or 5000 kills in one mission or throught out the whole campiagn

I believe thats in total.

Get a wargear when your overall body count hits 2000 and 5000 over the entire campaign.

Also, you DON'T want the daemon prince wargear. It's actually a nerf to your stats by the time you have everything else. Just throwing that out there.

Really?

I mean I know you lose out on vehicle damage and the melta gun.

But don't you also get more health overall melee damage and that AOE morale break that daemon prince normally has?

Maybe it would of been better to make it a toggle, Chaos lord about to die hit the ascend button.

P.S clearly I have never played long enough to get the transformation, so apologies if this is obvious.

Haven't played Dark Crusade in a while, but when I did my last playthrough on Soulstorm Daemon Prince was just OP as hell. I would not call it a nerf.

On SS it is a buff, but the fully kitted out Lord is more effective in DC. The increaded damage per attack is almost negligable, as the Lord attacks faster in melee, his ranged damage is much higher as the lord, and Commander 3 armour is almost as as good as the increased health of the Prince+daemon armour. Though in all fairness, by that point in the campain, it's irrelevant because you'll have enough honur guard units to steamroll whatever map you're fighting in.

its actually easy to get that many kills. obviousy it will take some time but not as long as you think. the easiest way to get 2k or 5k kills is by dragging out battles or attacking and winning enemy strongholds. also the total amount of kills doesnt mean the number of kills the general does, but your entire army.
