I’d really love for the non ogryn classes to get a fire axe type weapon, big fan of those in “apocalyptic type situation” games.
Slashes with main side, could incorporate the backend spike well too i reckon.
I’m sure the imperium has some of those or something like that somewhere, surely a penal colony could get access to that too.
Grab Rashad combat axe, change its skin to the red Achlys free cosmetic. You got what you asked for.
Funny enough the Achlys Combat Axe itself has this type of attacks. I used to run it ages ago. It’s pretty fun, even if clearly not as optimal as Rashad.
Heavy chainaxe yeah but also the power axe. Don’t make me buy space marine 2 just to cope and use the one in that game.
As for hachets and heavier hachets and shovels and the like…they can go in that appropriate filler file. If Fat Shark added stuff more frequently I wouldn’t be opposed to using those to fluff numbers and deliver more but we don’t. So I’d rather not see content get swallowed up by trash nobody uses 2 years in like the 4 shovels (though part of that I blame on power creep true OGs were never going to swap off the default shovels they’re perfect in every way).
You do flip it around for some attacks but they are mostly the same moves (like the giant horizontal sweep that has single target hitmass and cleave fall off). Achlys axe was such a why bother. Kinda coming around to the idea that some kind of maul with a pike that doesn’t get stuck would be a cool weapon though.
