Re: WH40K: MARINES/TAU/NECRONS/ORKS
Okay, it took forever, but finally I have tested out all of your updates!
Necrons- The new sprites are superb! Even though the old ones were fine.
- I don't know when this was added, or even if it's always been there, but the Wraith's teleporting mechanic is
excellent. It's just so smooth and effortless! It really grants the Wraith the feel intended by the fluff version, I think.
-The Deathmark is cool, but the viewrange of the synaptic disruptor (or whatever it's called) is a bit underwhelming, especially compared to the Tau weapons, or even the vanilla snipers. It's supposed to be a sniper rifle, yes? Although the weapon itself is awesome apart from that! Again, I really like those particle effects. <3
-The self-repair thing is just plain cool. And very Necron.
-The vanishing limbs effect is a bit weird. I'm not sure if it's really necessary, or whether or not I like it.
Tau-The rail rifle seems a bit... un-Tau. I haven't tested it much, though.
-The Stealth Suit is awesome, but it seems a bit too tough. Given, they have an armour save of 3 (the same as a Space Marine), so maybe they should be. I dunno, being able to shrug off Dreadnought (dummy) fire seems a bit too much for a stealth suit.
-New Crisis flight mechanics rock. It's even possible to do a stomp attack! For hilarity, stomp a Battlesuit on top of a Rhino.
Space Marines-The shield makes the Assault Marine actually useful - but should he not have a chainsword?
-The flamer doesn't seem much different except for a smaller particle size; what did you change?
-Bolters are still awesome, except for...
-The Razorback's turret. It's impossible to use! After a short period of firing, it simply starts to spazz out forever!
-The tank driving mechanics are good, though! However, I think the Rhino has a bit too much armour. It can't be damaged at all by any of the Tau weapons, for example.
Orkz-Are cool.
In general, the update is a success.
Just a note (not a request) - Is anybody else surprised at the utter lack of any Eldar mods?
