Re: Why are Ogryns SHI?

Why are Ogryns SHI? Because they're as fat as your mom and twice as smart! HEYOOOOO But in more seriousness, it makes them resistant to most normal sources of damage in exchange for being vulnerable to more specialized damages. This is pretty much the opposite of the "core" IG army, so it...

Re: RE: Re: Do Catachans really need power melee?

I don't really see Catas as an overpowered squad. As mentioned before, they need ze powah melee to combat jump squads. The only thing they have that is possibly too good is IED (mostly due to its sight radius). This is not a balance proposal, not complaining about them being op. In what universe ar...

Re: Do Catachans really need power melee?

you have literally no arguments at all Of course I do. My arguments (for the high skill players to evaluate) are: 1) It doesn't look right. This obviously concerns game design aesthetics. 2) Most of their utility comes from abilities, so maybe they could do away with power melee. A balance argument...

Re: Do Catachans really need power melee?

Re: Do Catachans really need power melee?

All the more reason not to remove their power melee damage and be forced to compensate with an additional ~7 dps per model to keep them effective against HI armour jump troops.

Re: Why are Ogryns SHI?

Damage types and armour types don't exist to serve the lore. They exist to serve the lore so long as the lore exists to make this universe compelling for the players to experience. Ogryns have SHI armour to make them particularly effective at bullying piercing damage-oriented ranged blobs, but weak...

Re: Why are Ogryns SHI?

This is a grossly stupid statement you're making here by the way. Relic introduces these variables as part of their game design. In this case I am very unconvinced that Ogryns should have SHI.

Re: Why are Ogryns SHI?

They are your fast moving dreadnoughts / shock troops that tear apart everything in their path. This is their concept. That's an interesting concept.

Re: Why are Ogryns SHI?

I don't think there is much to debate. Right now, Ogryns with a bone 'ead have an effective hp of 6250 against piercing attacks (Base HP / damage modifier = effective HP). 4000 hp infantry armour would be worse in that regard but still a lot of HP. Now look at the damage types that normally are eff...

Re: Do Catachans really need power melee?

It's a way to make them effective against power-armour melee without also being too strong against light infantry. If you wanted them to be sufficiently effective against raptors and ASM without power_melee, you would need to increase their damage to a point where they would now be too effective ag...

Re: Why are Ogryns SHI?

Ogryns fill a similar niche as ASM/raptors - their primary purpose is bullying ranged units. Giving them SHI armour makes them good at bullying piercing damage blobs while having the same vulnerability to power_melee and plasma damage that other tanky melee units have. The armour and damage types a...

Why are Ogryns SHI?

They don't wear any tangible armor and move too fast. It's incongruous with the presence of terminators, tyrant guards, guos and avatars. Why not give them infantry armor and a larger health pool? Would help them against power melee heavy builds and factions, and look better at the same time with th...

Yeah, the kill ASM/raptors/warriors, something that IG struggle with quite badly really. Especially come T2.

It doesn't look right when some dudes wearing vests and headbands beat up armored infantry. Besides, IG T1 feels sufficiently powerful and Catachans get 90% of their utility from abilities. Discuss.

I've always been part of the remove-termi-FC fellowship so I can't really weigh in right here with no bias.
