[A12d] Warhammer 40k Weapons V8.0

Addeptis · April 06, 2015, 08:30:03 PM

Nice vindicare assassin helmet. Cant say I will use it much. I cant stand vindicares in general....*rants*Destroying my lander raiders in one hit >.< broken rules *rants* But never mind that, its looks great!

lol, I picked them first because it's my first shot at making armour and helmets, I'm saving power armour for later so it can look very nice. You can see it with the weapons, the Bolter is quite ugly compared to my plasma pistol, which was the last one I made.

Oh, I heard the Exitus rules were "broken", but I don't play the table top--just read the books

My final balancing act will be to set the damage and range in the following tier system;

Plasma Weapons Poor Range, Good Damage.

Bolters Average Range, Average Damage.

Laser Weapons Good Range, Poor Damage.

Special Weapons will have custom dmg/rng.

For the heavy bolter, they can be like this.

A first and very wonderful post

Thanks, that's perfect! I didn't know there were drum mags for the heavy bolter. I'll get started on it when I can.

No problem, glad to help.

very nice mod. new player for RimWorld and first mod i added

my 2 cents, pic from Cmoa666 gave me an 'oh that would be wicked' moment, the powersword/axe would be nice. was also thinking meltagun for ignoring armour as well as the power weapons, though just occured the plasma may already do that. still it would go in same class as more dmg but shorter range.

i'll be keeping tabs on this mod for sure, thanks for your efforts.

I love Cortex Command, and I have that mod, coincidence? I THINK NOT!

Yeah for sure, when I get done with Imperial stuff I'll work on it. I plan on races like Orks and Tau maybe, we'll see. There's still a lot to do for the humans lol.

Thanks, I'm not sure about how to have damage ignore armour values, but it's the increased damage is more than enough. I'll see if I can have it ignore armour.

Thanks a lot, it really helps to get an idea from what others have done.

Latest update (v5.0) pushed. Not sure when I'll get around to completing the heavy bolter and plasma gun.

Headshot · April 15, 2015, 11:49:11 PM

Now working with Alpha 10!

Vonholtz · April 16, 2015, 11:53:04 AM

My main PC in middle of getting repaired but as soon as I get it back working and up to date for 10 I will be back to playing. I really like your plans for your mod with the adding of race. Keep up the good work.

Thanks, I've not had any time to work on it this--other than the update--but once the semester's over, I'll try and get some "major features" done.

Quote from: millenium on April 05, 2015, 05:05:35 PMi assume we'll be seeing more of these in the future. with the possibility of the plasma guns exploding of course.

newer plasma tech is stable now. and slightly less powerful, though still the strongest plasma weapons in use by any race.
GW just made the unstable plasma older marks. a good direction really.

i believe heavy bolter drums idea has been around awhile, but Horus Hersey has pushed it heavily.... GW thoughts are that HH heavy bolters where drum and open belt-fed. as apposed to the current armoured belt systems in use now.

When it comes to Lasguns, my favourite has to be the Accatran Pattern Mark IV Lasgun, used by the Elysian Drop Troop regiments. beautiful design.

I too am not 40k player but a lover of the lore of 40k. although thats getting bloody harder with GW re-writing most of the canon fluff!

Orc weaponry should be easier to research/build/find for Orcs, and harder to use for non-orcs(Orc weaponry is genetically coded for use by Orcs). Wild/tameable Squig and Squiggoth would be a deadly addition. An Orc should be able to paint a bomb yellow to make it more powerful (the Orcs main psychic ability.) Oh and, Orcs are the most populous race in the Galaxy, so should be like tribal raids with the number of raiders increased.

I'm currently looking into creating Squigs and Orks, but Squiggoth would be a maybe. Creating a texture and pawn that large would have some issues. Orks will raid, along with their pet Squigs. You may also find feral squigs wandering around, similar to the muffalo.

An event idea: A very powerful but small Space Marine squad or Terminator squad have landed near your colony, with powerful technology. They will set up defences, defend the tech. and wait for evacuation. Kind of like a siege, but they don't build mortars, they just build self powered auto turrets that have one full battery worth of power each. If you go near the technology they will assault the colony. I can live without Squiggoth.
