Dawn of War Codex

I've been studying the new unit's weapons and al that, and I think that the Dark Reapers could have a better look. They seem to have the wrong pose for their weapons, but I guess that's a minor mistake.

It's their weapon shooting effect that I think could be better. The plasma rifle's proyectile looks crude in comparison to the elegant and smooth eldar shoots, specially when they are supposed to fire micro-missiles. I was wondering if it would be interesting for the Dark Reapers' weapons to have different shoot effect, for example, Vengeance Bolter round effect with blue or white colour switch, or even shuriken catapult or cannon with white color switch.

they're using the best animation set available, which is the warp spiders.

Then make a new animation.

Then it must be wrong in the Army Painter, where their hands slip out of their weapons.

I can't do that, that's why I mention it, then the mod's responsible can see if the matter is worth being touched or not.

What the modders work with is very limited, having a different positioning would mean having a new skeleton, which nobody is gonna make, same for shooting and particle effects, they would need to be made from scratch and that's either very hard or time consuming for no real reason, they work fine at the moment and look decent enough.

I understand, thank you Ace.

I would like to see a new unit use modified versions of either the Falcon scatter laser, or the Falcon pulse cannon. Both of those seem really cool and underused to me, although both are probably impractical for Reapers.

I dont see why the Falcons pulsar couldn't represent the hipervelocity missiles from the dark reapers for example.
