Swarmlord. Another hidden Trait???

[Black Relic]

I'll start with a short story on how i found this out.

So I was doing some testing in my own mod vs some Computers when a wild Swarmlord appears. I forced melee with my hero (because Space marines know no fear and what not). To my surprise my units were getting knocked back! There were no other units than the Swarmlord hitting them. There was no blade fury epicness happening and SL has no special. I was confused. Thinking that was a bug i went into the rbf (thanks to Cope) to make sure that not only it wasnt a bug but to make sure it wasnt something I added way back when I was an idiot.

As a few here know, when you are in Cope's ToolBox edited or saved (some rbf i have are just saved and not edited) rbfs are red, unchanged rbfs are blue. Going into the wargear (because the kb occurred when my hero hit the SL) I looked for Sl weapons and armor. To my surprise the rbfs were blue meaning unedited.

Going in the tyr_bones_sabers_swarmlord.rbf in wargear i found out that melee attackers have a 10% chance the get knockedback (kb is weapon kb though). Making sure that is wasnt just my mod tricking me, I opened Elite in Cope's Tool Box, went to the same rbf and found the same thing.

I am curious to know if anyone else know about the RGN knockback trait the Swarmlord has because I sure didnt.

Yep. The SL does have passive KB. I think Forestradio mentioned it to me a while ago, which is how I found out about it and looked it up in Cope's. He doesn't do any modding, so I just figured other people knew about it too. I guess it should be in the Codex...whose job is that anyway

Didn't know this [emoji51]

Wow learn something every day:p

[Torpid]

Yep. I thought it was just the thunderhammer that had that. Don't see enough swarmlord's to ever take notice...

Was I raging when I said that? I don't remember talking about the Swarmlord at all...

[Wise Windu]

Always a possibility

It was a while ago, maybe it was someone else. Pretty sure it was you, though.

maybe now people know this there will be more of a reason to get one instead of "Put Fexes on overwatch --> put rally point on contested VP --> ??? --> Profit"
