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 15, other details are courtesy of friends and commenters. Thanks to Tsenzei, wolfofmibu66, Toyi, and Beelzebot for helping to complete the list. :)

Here’s one I’ve been playing around with:
Rending Stranglethorn
Bonded Exoskeleton
Toxic Sacs
Implant Attacks
Tyrant Guard Nest
Evolution
A build designed to take advantage of the Searing trait by maximizing both you and your minions’ health.
I’ve been playing around with weapon choices, and the three that seem to work best are Rending Stranglethorn, Devourer Cannon, and High-Toxin Venom Cannon. Personally, I prefer the Stranglethorn, since it spreads the Searing damage around faster and Suppresses besides. Devourer Cannon is a close second; while it doesn’t Sear as quickly, it still has better single-target DPS than the Stranglethorn and can put a DoT on a single squad regardless of their positioning. If you don’t have access to either of these weapons, the AoE of the High-Toxin Venom Cannon, however small, is still preferable to single-target, and it can also boost your minions’ survivability a bit.
As for minions, I prefer the Tyrant Guard because his high health makes for some mean Searing and his ability to taunt can keep annoying melee units off of you.
This build is still being tested but as of now appears to work fine.
SniperGhost — August 13th, 2011 @ 8:08 pm
thats a nice class dude, you can also do the ravener nest, tyrant guard nest and the warrior nest…… thats a awesome one to. chears mate
FunnehRabbitMan — August 29th, 2011 @ 8:49 am
Got another one I’ve been using as of late:
Enlarged Scything Talons
Bonded Exoskeleton
Ravener Nest
Implant Attacks
Psychic Scream
Evolution
With this, your Ravener becomes a god. You’re a little squishier as a result, but Psychic Scream helps remedy that somewhat while reducing any defenses they may have left versus your Ravener. I was using Toxin Sacs in place of Psychic Scream before, but the Ravener easily killed its targets before the searing had a chance to do any damage (and several of my targets before mine had a chance to do anything as well). Those seeking extra protection might want to try Bio-Feedback in place of Psychic Scream; a little extra health and makes the death of your Ravener (those rare times it happens) a little easier to handle (and gives a clutch immunity if you need to run into a blob to bring up an ally).
Rod911 — August 29th, 2011 @ 3:42 pm
Behemoth Claw
Thornback Carapace
Warp Field
Implant Attacks
Psychic Scream
Synapse
Treat your MP reserve as if it was your HP, so turn on Warp Field when you find your HP is down to around 60-70. Once turned on, you can let your HP recover. Use Psychic Scream as often as you want (highly recommended) to mitigate the use of Warp Field.
Also, try to kill ranged enemies first with this setup. The reason? Any melee enemies that come into contact with you get automatically damaged by your armor. If you happen to have screamed at them before they attacked you, watch your enemy’s HP fritter away as they attack you (BTW, now would be a good time to have turned on your Warp Field also).

Venom Cannon
Poison Cysts
Genestealer Nest
Bio-Feedback
Explosive Decomposition
Synapse
The suicide bomber build. You have 225 HP, so your Toxic Miasma will kill anything that closes in. With Synapse you can spam Genestealers quite long, which will make you very tough and some damage on top. Venom Cannon deals with ranged/tough targets.
Nagash — September 6th, 2011 @ 1:19 am
Behemoth Claw, witch increase your armor by 40
Poison Cysts
Implant Attacks
Explosive Decomposition
Warp Field
Synapse/Evolution
The Poison Cysts to take out a crowd, and the claws can take out anything else, The warpfield is to get in close to them without loose health, and the synapse can be used to reduce the cost of the Warp field or poison cysts, or the Evolution to increase health regen
Lonestar — September 21st, 2011 @ 2:25 pm
Rending StrangleThorn
Poison Cysts
Pyschic Scream
Tyrant Guard
Toxin Sacs
Synapse
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This build does extreme amounts of DoT damage since if your surrounded you can use pyschic scream to reduce all damage and defense of every enemy around you drastically for a bit and then spam toxic miasma which only costs 7 energy with synapse if you cannot escape say a carnifex use pyschic scream and the carnifex is pretty much love tapping you ;)
Keeane — September 23rd, 2011 @ 12:30 pm
I’ve got a question. What are super heavy units? Are they available in Colliseum map, at Wave 12?
Crimsonz — September 25th, 2011 @ 3:44 pm
Venom Cannon is so underrated. It’s mad good (better than the dlc Devourer cannon) as it gives high dmg for BOTH ranged and melee (yes melee does 20 dmg and ignores armor!!) It shoots faster than the Devourer cannon (2.5sec compared to Venom’s 1.0sec)
Hel O Keety — September 26th, 2011 @ 10:32 pm
Hi Keeane,
Super Heavy units are the bosses, which there are a lot more of playing Anvil of Khorne.
Hi Crimsonz,
Venom Cannon is not under rated…it’s too good…if you are playing Bloodied Colliseum, your wave 16 clone will destroy your group in seconds.

internetrush — October 24th, 2011 @ 1:04 am
Armor:Bonded Exoskeleton
Weapon: Crushing Talons
Ravener Nest
Warrior Nest
Bio-Feedback
Commander Item: Synapse
Key features:
+3 per second health regeneration for minions.
+3 health everytime a minion attacks (to tyrant)
+100 tyrant health
+50 minion health
Feedback – invuln everytime you changeout squads or one gets killed.
Proper use:
Keep your figure over W and R and swap out squads when they start taking dmg. If done right, tyrant should be invulnerable during almost entire battle.

Tank Build
This build is very resilient with healing and invulerability from pets, it also has high area damage with the farth and pets explosions.
-Poison Cysts
-Crushing Talons
-Genestealer
-Bio-Feedback
-Explosive
-Synapse
Pet Master DPS Build
This buid has high DPS due to cannon, ravener and DoT. It grats moderate protection through the Guardian that draws the enemies away from you. It’s very relaxing to seat back and watch your bets bucher anything, just stay back and shoot!
-Bonded Exoskeleton
-Venom Cannon
-Toxin Sacks
-Tyrant Guard Nest
-Ravener Nest
-Evolution
Tsenzei — October 26th, 2011 @ 3:14 am
So, for “Super Heavy Targets” just to clarify. Are they only bosses? Do Zoanthropes count for example, or are they only vehicles like Walkers and Carnifex?
Also, does the HT need to get the last hit, or can it’s minions or Toxin Sac’s/Gestate DoTs get it?
It seems like, no matter how many bosses and vehicles I kill, I almost never get credit for the achievement.

By the way, Behemoth Claw adds +50 armor rating.
Gravecat — October 26th, 2011 @ 5:52 pm
List updated. Thanks for the screenshot and info. :D
Bobbo — October 27th, 2011 @ 1:06 am
“Super Heavy Targets” are Daisy, Avatar, Nurgle, Baneblade, and Landraider.
I think you have to be standing up to get a point, I was dead for landraider and so only got 4 of them. Not sure if you need the last hit, but doubt it.
This has to be done on Anvil of Khorne, there are no superheavys in the colosseum.

Crushing Talons
Poison Cysts
Genestealer Nest
Bio Feedback
Explosive Decomposition
Synapse
This is a massive AoE DPS Built because of your own health (Poison Cysts) and the dmg by exploding minions. Sometime i just reset my minions just to watch them die an kill enemies. A nice Top is the invulnerability and the 30% chance of special meele hits. But in wave 16 the enemy hive tyrant will “forget” to die and start killing your party.^^
