Amongst the Melee weapons in 40K the chainsword is unequivocally the most iconic. So it should probably be a quite good weapon. instead I would say I see almost no one using it. There is something decidedly lackluster about using them. Even if statistically they don’t seem that bad. I have done dece…

[Screenshot_20230903-095656_Brave] It is after patch 12

[image] Reginald: Ranged weapons are generally way better than they should be based on their lore. The boltgun outpreforming the thunder hammer in armor busting is the best example. Fundamentally, this is because ranged weapons are better than melee. That’s why we don’t send men out with swor…

Me thinks you are wrong on this thesis, because Mats Andersson just gave an Interview in which he stated that enemy difficulty will change a lot with talent trees. Some will have their stats buffed, too , moving breakpoints. They surely must also change weapon balance, since they talked about shift…

[image] Mayson: They surely must also change weapon balance, since they talked about shifting the game pace. That would be great… There are weapons that are absolute garbage… catachan sword, laspistol (even with the buff, this weapon is bad) There are weapons that are a little weak: combat …

Well ogryn clubs don’t get brutal momentum, and as far as I can tell the paul doesn’t lift target restriction with it like shovel.
