Noise Marines only have bolters and can only upgrade to Blast Master, no option for regular sonic blasters.

Chaos Marine gun has messed up textures (it's obvious in the army painter).

ok, what do sonic blasters really give in game terms? I know there in the codex, but would they add anything to the game, other than completeness?If I just gave them to noisy marines instead of bolters would that work?
Are you a slaanesh fan?

Do what you want it's your mod; I thought it was a bug.

Jun 9 2012 Anchor

true, but all I was trying to get at dude, is where would you put it in? Tier, requirements thats sort of thing.Adding it in is no problem, just mean it needs to go somewhere where it's worth doing. eg, if you say make it available at tier 2, then ok, but would you take it if you could just load up with blastmasters? Or does it target somethig different? Have 1 anti infantry and one anti vehicle? They didn't seem that different in the codex, but I don't really have to worry about restricted points cost here. Have to be able to give the AI a reason to use them too, if they can take something better at the same tier, they will and ignore the less powerful one.I suggest giving them as the standard weapon, because if they are not thay useful as an upgrade, then hey, lets make them look cooler from the start at least...

Well I would have noise marines able to upgrade either noise blasters or the big blast master. Noise blasters could be anti-infantry and could do something cool like stun infantry units, or knock them back, so noise marines have a good melee counter; and make the blast master anti-vehicle/building so it can tear down listening posts or destroy a rhino in a couple of hits.

yeah, ok. That'd work. Be in next patch.

work quite well actually, combined with the fact the're now fearless they are a right handful

As I said all who use doombolt freeze; The Chaos Wizards all have the same powers so I don't see the point in having a chaos wizard and a nurgle chaos wizard if they are completely the same; World Eaters get a Chaos wizard that seams strange; Horrors weapon ungrade icon is pink as is the weapon upgrade of the terminators.

Just a few suggestions for units to be added from the DP mod:

Plague Drones, Thrall Wizards and the Blood Assassin for the world eaters instead of the Wizard. :)

Plague Drones for the khornate world eaters?? NO, but maybe the blood assassin
The wizard are different (there's a slaanesh and tzeentch version too) because of the possession bit. There's a version of the sorcerer for each of the 4 greater daemons, so even though the powers are the same, the possesion bit is different, although should be old one per legion in next patch. I agree with you really on the khorne one, seen what else can be possessed reasonalbly.
Thought the icons where ok, opps. Horrors shouldn't even have an upgrade, but just checking have you have the hotfix 3.1? The termie icon fixes where in there...........

Jun 12 2012 Anchor

Yep I have the hotfix installed. :)

And no not for the World Eaters only blood assassin for them to replace the wizard. Plague Drones for the Death Guard and Thrall Wizzards for the Thousand Sons. :)

Sorry for double post but why not give the sorcerers different powers?

Jun 12 2012 Anchor

er, balls must have missed some icons then....... What faction did you notice the problem on? There all different to change.
Er, the problem with different power and different things to be possessed is the animations that go with different powers, and the fx. To put simply, it's a hell of alot of work. Not saying it can't be done, but it'll be later on when the rest of the issues are sorted, and the other developments are in. That's the only reason really dude......
I'll come back to the "cult" legions for units, once I've brought the undivided legions upto spec, they're lacking compared to the cult ones, so need more warp loving......

Jun 12 2012 Anchor

Cooool!!! :D Good to hear that the new powers are in plan. :D

As for the bugs and icons I have posted all the ones I have located in the threads of the factions where they happened. :)

Jun 12 2012 Anchor

Horrors icons?? not sure where you mean?

ok, found the khorne termie icon prob, typed the wrong thing.......... opps...............

Jun 26 2012 Anchor
