Dawn of War Codex

So it was late last night and being a bit cranky and I decided to make a more offensive post about how I felt the Catachan Devils didn't really suit the lore well.

They don't represent the tabletop well and it bothers me. So I was thinking that we should at least change their name to something more suitable:

Catachan Command Squad

This way, we know they're a cut above the rest without having it feel too much out of place. I also think giving them at least machetes (and maybe one with a banner) as some close combat weapons would be kind of cool too.

Thoughts?

They don't need machetes, their massive steel balls are their power weapons.

Well would we at least change the name?

The game isn't here to represent tabletop. Tabletop doesnt even represent the lore that well, the space marines would be annihilated in the lore if they were only as good as they are in tabletop.

As far as lore goes, doesn't every catachan have super deadly knife that he treats as his most important possession? They are probably the most deadly non-engineered humans in the galaxy. Surely thats enough ground to go on, when you consider that this is not supposed to be a perfect, lore-adhering fanservice mod.

I thought this would be a good compromise. You get to keep the unit in its intended role and I don't feel so off about having average Joe Guardsmen be good in close combat (because they wouldn't be average Joe Guardsmen).

Are you guys just resentful to me? Because right now I feel as though people are disagreeing with me just to simply disagree with me.

Read the following and tell me again about the standard guardsmen.

They are not normal humans.

Ok. Point taken. :3
