Heavy support is usually the relic unit. SM: Landraider Necrons: Nightbringer CSM: Bloodthirster / Daemon Prince Eldar: Avatar Tau: Shaggoth or Skyray Orcs: I forgot lol.

dezzo: You got it wrong on some. For DOW I, it was this:

SM: Land Raider
CSM: Bloodthirster
Necrons: Monolith
Eldar: Avatar
Orks: Squiggoth
IG: Baneblade
Tau: Greater Knarloc

There is one relic unit per race, and you require a relic (duh) to create one. You can only have 1 at a time.

I thought I saw a pic of one with a gun somewhere... or maybe that was the tyrant. W/e I'd like to see either one of the hierodules or a trygon!
	Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he doesn't become a monster ...unless that monster has claws, fangs, acid blood, organic guns, and/or is enormous. In such a case it is acceptable to become said monster as it is invariably cooler than you will ever be.

I think Carnifexes are more like Dreadnoughts than anything else. Keep in mind that DoW 2 might not even have bases, only armies.

I don't think a Carnifex would make a relic unit, they're the standard "tanks" of the Tyranids and they don't have the "importance/significance" to make an impact worthy of a relic unit such as the Bloodthirster (the greatest daemons servants to the Blood God) or the Squiggoth (gargantuan monsters that can rival Titans in size)

Hierodules, Trygons and most of the FW creations would be better candidates in my opinion.
