When building the General consider what wargear you can use that increases your ability to survive (you are quite vunerable to fire from long range units) and the efficiency of your troops. The Lord General is a very defensive character and is good for holding a section of the map locked down.

Heres is the list of all wargear and its uses. Here is a build that will focus on supporting your allies but will give you lots of damage capabilities. BUILDINGS ARE NEVER A GOOD THING if you feel the urge to run and set up your plasma cannon in that ruin over there, THINK AGAIN, that building will go down faster than a gaunt being attacked by the Great Unclean one.

At later levels the space marine really has to use cover or change positions often due to the ever increasing horde of enemies. A space marine is usually the one running around the map all willy nilly shouting вЂњfor the Emperor!вЂќ destroying everything in sight. Whether youвЂ™re a вЂњsit in the back and bombardвЂќ kind of marine or one that loves to get вЂњstuck in wit da boysвЂќ the arsenal accompanying the space marine can help both of these play styles. The space marine is the jack of all trades and can complement almost any team composition. Daemonic Gift of Sustenance: Heal and energy regen with each strike Here is a nice build that will help out the team : The space marine captain on wave 4 is going to be your new best friend and will get you through most of those early waves including the B!$#$ filled wave 9. Now this is the fun bit, you can go ahead a doppelgang anything you desire with a low cost of mana but when the time comes that a enemy hero enters the battlefield you must control his mind for your own good. Another main focus for the choas sorceror is his abillity to dopplegang. You dont want to be stuck with so much energy but nothing to use it with or, have so many powers and have no energy to cast them. You must have a balance of energy and abilities. You want to get some decent armor when using this character and focus on your abilities. The chaos sorcerer can be be a high dps (damage per second) mage or a long range support. Venom Cannon / High-Toxin Venom Cannon / Devourer CannonД¬haos is a different character and can be build to your liking. Reinforced Chitin (If you like creatures) Heres some good builds for the Hive Tyrant : Another good tip for the hive Tyrant would be to stay near your teammates you are probably the slowest character in the game so make sure your not stuck alone under a mass of orks. These creatures have no micro capabilities, and cannot stray to far from your position but still deal out some huge damage.Just make sure your build coresponds with creatures if you are going to be a beast master. The main focus for the hive Tyrant would be to base your item build on yourself and not your spawnable creatures such as genestealers or raveners if you are going the multikill Tyrant. When using toxic miasma in later waves the tyrant might need to hunker down at one of the spawns spaming the miasma. When using the toxic miasma, the early levels can be a breeze.

Through the early levels a Tyrant can use his toxic miasma to destroy hundreds of enemies at a time( if they are foolish enough to get near you) and can take lots of damage before dying. The Tyrant's job in a game of last stand is tanking and AOE damage.
