I’ll keep it short and simple. The Eviscerators we use ingame are equivalent to the ones used by the Repentia who fight for the Adeptus Sororitas. Proof of this is to look at any image, or tabletop miniature. I have no issue with these weapons being in the game but I would like to show you an example.
this is a full Repentia Squad of Miniatures and you can see their Eviscerators are the ones we use ingame.
I’ll post some images of the actual eviscerator used by the actual Priest of the Imperium.
It may be hard to implement the animations for it’d take a bit of work for the swinging animations while holding a what is equivalent to an actual chainsaw. Though I have seen the effort put into most weapons and I believe in Fatsharks ability to make this work.
I’ll give some mild suggestions to it’s functions. While it’s main function is to grind things on contact as seen in the original dawn of war game “if you have played it”. Each strike is almost like the Chainaxe but grinds onto enemies and not actually sticking to them like the chainaxe does.
I believe the weapon should function a lot like the original eviscerator but each strike has more cleave and grinds through most enemies on contact rather than just blunt swinging like the original eviscerator does. Of course it’s revving ability would be stabbing the blade into something or performing a downwards strike grinding them until they die. as for it’s combo I believe the light attacks should be mostly crowd control based 1 cleave and 2 downwards or 2 cleave and one downwards would be ideal. Heavy attacks can be a side swing that grinds multiple enemies and a downwards strike that grinds does heavy damage to single targets.
If it’s possible to add this pattern to the game that’d be amazing. If anyone has any feedback to this I welcome their comments.
