Skitarii Alpha Primus are more autonomous than standard Skitarii and could easily find an axe a useful tool for their combat missions and use it in battle, but unfortunately, Skitarii don’t have access to axes in the game.
Skitarii lack axes in the game, and I believe they should be made available. If you agree, please support this post to increase the chances that this request will be addressed and that Skitarii will be allowed to use axes.
This doesn’t require developing new weapons, it simply requires allowing the use of existing axes.
It’s surprising to realize that I’m the only one who seems to want axes for the Skitarii. The post went unnoticed, but after thinking about it calmly, I can understand why - since axes aren’t exactly popular with everyone, unfortunately. But I still thought there would be like-minded people here.
I would have liked to have infantry lasguns aswell
It’s funny how Skitarii has the potential to use many more weapons and GW would probably not be opposed to it but for some reason they didn’t?
Thunder Hammer
Relic Blade
Crusher
Combat Axe
Tactical Axe
Infantry Lasgun
Recon Lasgun
I’ll assume they didn’t because of possible balance issues? (how do you make sure this Recon doesn’t become a beast on this class, as well as Relic Blade)
I think all types of axes wouldn’t upset the balance, considering that people often rate them as average weapons rather than good ones. Just like the lasgun shouldn’t break the balance, in theory, although it’s unclear how it will visually interact with the ability for precise shooting.
It’s likely a combination of balance issues and not stealing identity from other classes. Vet as the lasgun shooty shooty guy, zealot as the big smashy guy, etc.
I would kill for a chain axe and/or heavy sword on skitarii though, not gonna lie.
