I would replace ATSKNF with Combi-weapons that are active for the duration of ability. Two Plasma Guns, a Flamer, and a Melta - something along those lines.

If anything would be an appropriate foil to the Baneblade considering the Imperial Guard's nature, I figure it would be some form of artillery.

Could give them a Melta Gun instead.

Incendiary and Explosive shells share a cooldown so really the two of them should only count as one way The Incendiary shell being available gives the Spotter area denial which has a different strategic application from damage and knockback. They do share a cooldown, but they don't accomplish the s...

If you want Grenade Launchers to add a little more impact on Suppression Team but don't want to replace Spotters... give Grenade Launchers to the Spotters. Now they have some soft anti-suppression utility when their abilities are on countdown. The Spotter already has a "backup" - if you m...

Catachans are the infantry you're looking for because they already have access to grenade launchers. The Catachan tradeoff is that while they don't continue disrupting once disruption has been dealt (aka they do not remain in the area and tie up the suppression in melee), they're not stuck there eit...

Old World wrote:The Techmarine's servo arm has no function in the game so a servo harness would look even more ridiculous just dangling there.

Actually, the Servo Arm animates when the Techmarine is repairing and building. It may also have other animations, but those are the two I know of off of the top of my head.

Well Kithrixx, I think you are a fount of good ideas. I don't think there is anything remotely sacred about keeping the SG upgrade attached to Tactical marines. In fact, I think it's a nuisance. I'd rather drop pod them in or just build them at base as needed. And I'm still liking your version of t...

I'm sorry I forgot your name earlier, I've corrected my previous post in order to properly credit you. I really liked your idea. I would gladly pay a little zeal to have the flexibility you described in your OP. Not a big deal. I don't post often. One thing I would almost never do with your propose...

A while back someone, and I'm very sorry that I can't remember who, suggested that they could code the drop pod to spawn a squad created by the SM base. Essentially turning the drop pod into a delivery system for a unit of your choice, at the cost of zeal. An idea that is both lore appropriate and ...

I feel like the WL should keep its melee resistance if it upgrades to a Brightlance because it's not actually replacing a portion of the walker's melee weaponry like it would be with, say, an AC or Melta Dread. The Brightlance itself should be nerfed, either with reduced overall damage or disabling ...

So you want me to pay req and a decent amount of red just so I still pay extra req and power for a squad? What are you a Democrat (jokes)? But seriously that would make the global absolutely useless! If you want to spawn a unit you creating (take ASM) that would be 650/50/200. WHAT!?!? Unless its V...

Nobody wants it for the ability to drop units anywhere on the battlefield, you use call ins for specifical purposes such as overwhelming your opponent with squads or replacing a loss. Apparently it's more than "nobody" because that's exactly what it is right now with the Tac squad. Don't ...

I really, really, really do not want to see a Plague Champion wielding a Heavy Bolter. He can already make turrets. If Chaos is to get a heavy weapons hero, it should be the Slannesh hero. Heavy Bolters are loud, and Slannesh says more loud more better. Anyways. If we're tossing around ideas, an arm...

I had myself a bit of an idea regarding the drop pod. ⋅ Remove the Drop Pod's Tactical Squad. ⋅ If an Infantry unit (Tacs, Salts, Devs, Plas Devs, Scouts, Libby) is being trained, using the Drop Pod will finish training the unit instantly and deploy the unit at the Drop Pod's lo...

Maybe we should reconsider other unit to go in the Drop pod [...] a diferent unit to each SM hero I like that idea. It could be: - Force Commander: Assault Squad - Techmarine: Devastator Squad - Apothecary: Tactical Squad with Sergeant (the Sergeant would be there just for balance with the others) ...

It's been a full three months since this topic was started. Is there any ETA on 2.3 other than "when it's done"?

The new theme is absolutely excellent. Well done.

I'm very sad that the Stormtrooper's face is still derpy.

IG already has the Artillery Spotter as a subcommander. If anything, a psyker should be a commander.

Why do people just throw out random numbers without doing any research? It's hardly without research. They're still vulnerable to stuns, knockback, suppression, and kiting. I'm of the opinion that they should be absolute monsters in melee combat but remain easy to counter (see: no jump, sprint, tel...

I still think that KCSM should get splash damage. I mean, not FULL splash damage - maybe like each model dealing 10% or 15% of their total damage in an area around their main target. Either that or the Aspiring Champion gets full splash damage for his attacks to make him more unique/special/impactin...

Banshee/Ranger skeletons also a no-go?

Going out on a limb here, but what about the Banshee or Ranger animation sets? They seem like they would be more "nimble", and it's my understanding that Eversors rely more on speed rather than strength because their weapons are typically things that require finesse.

Why don't you ask that outside the art release thread. Or better yet just read the existing discussion. Settle down there lolsgrim. If you want me to check the other thread, I will. No need to get all Gestapo to a simple question. Especially when Caeltos already elaborated on Aertes's inquiry. ... ...

Any plans for Stormtroopers, or are those going to remain Inquisitorial?

I was wondering how bad it would be for the Lord General to have a melee option in T1. Any main hero of any race can have a decent melee capacity except this one Mekboy disagrees. That said, the Lord General already has pretty decent melee strength. By default, he's got 22 Melee DPS (this is also c...

The Wraithlord skeleton would also have to be widened because as it stands it is too tall and thin for such an enormous unit. A Dreadknight would be interesting as an alternate to the Land Raider, but then we start begging the question of "how many super units should each faction have" and...

A teleporting force commander will deal a lot more damage with his tunderhammer now. Ya that battlecry mass tacking aoe specials and buffs in ur ig infantry. Instant force off from 1 unit. No it won't. You're not looking at the updated changelog. What you seem to be also not considering is the less...
