...in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.. Men of the Emperor: Burning Horizon hopes to bring the brutal, grim, dark and wonderful universe of Warhammer 40,000 we all love to the Men of War real-time strategy game franchise. With a small but dedicated team, we hope to bring as much of WH40K into the game as we can.
The Meltagun is a short-ranged weapon that produces an intense, energetic beam of heat energy in the tens of thousands of degrees Centigrade. The Meltagun has more in common with a Plasma Gun than a Flamer. While the Flamer is used to incinerate large numbers of foes at short range, the Meltagun is used to destroy heavily armoured vehicles at short range by literally heating the armour into slag. Meltaguns work by firing a blast of pure heat energy that can vaporize most troops, and even melt adamantium. Melta Weapons are often carried by tank-hunting squads and are used as a special weapon by other squads.

Woo, meltaguns!
I'm guessing that doesn't mean that you've figured out what to do with it yet?
an older model is already in-game and working probably not 100% yet but it obliterates pretty much any infantry within range. the FX needs to be changed though as it looks nothing like a melta flash lol
All we need is a huge, light blue, laser looking, super heated, jet lighter on crack looking flame.
Well, what else could it be? Short range 1-shot-kill weapon, effective vs all but the heaviest tanks?
I think it should be like short ranged flame thrower firing streams 2-3 seconds long that has a ton of pen if such a thing is even possible.
You know like it is on the mods for original dawn of war series.
If wanted i can go find a picture too.
i remember, DoW FOK had it like that used to be an internal tester for that mod. was thinking the exact same thing to make it work like that. but it's mostly described as shooting a flash of super heated energy so having slow long steams might not make it look like a melta. but we can always experiment with both to see which works the best.
The problem with making it a flamethrower is that you cannot modify the fuel values for AP or AT damage, as well as forcing the units to carry a fuel source on their inventory, as this was my original plan.
I do however have an idea for it based on the AT rifles in-game, don't worry for the meltagun will be making an appearance as close to canon as possible.
Nice, will be great to play this mod xD
