That other marine even make some silly commentary.
I wouldn't expect it coming from a Ultramarine tho, I thought they were the most diciplinated of all.
I bet he'll go chaos.
So why don't marines ever use more unorthodox weapon combinations when equipped with tactical dreadnought armor
It's always storm bolter + powerfist, thunder hammer + storm shield, double lightning claws, or autocannon + powerfist
Why not, say, thunder hammer + lightning claw? Or autocannon + (wait for it) autocannon?
2 autocannons would weight a shitload.

Is the female Guardswoman a giant or something considering how Space Marines can be upwards of seven feet and she appears to be the same height as the Captain.

High heels.
What kind of head are we talking about. The invincible space marine head or a human head?

Thunder Hammer & Lightning Claw = Massive overbalance when trying to strike with either. Two autocannons (actually assault cannons) = probably enough recoil to tip the terminator backwards and if they happens, they need help getting up like turtles.
Stormbolter + Powerfist = Decent balance of Ranged and Close Combat power.
TH&SS = Good protection to get into CC range and a decent weapon to use.
Double Lightning Claws = Close combat rape defined.
Assault Cannon (not Autocannon) + Powerfist, same as Stormbolter & Powerfist except less mobile
[QUOTE=SKEEA;31641609]I never understood why the Imperium of Man cannot do their own R&D and come up with their own tech rather than relying on finding STC's.[/QUOTE]
History of a Butlerian Djihad, massive scale of the imperium (progress happens, but takes a while to spread out) and a bunch of other stuff.
As a last bit manufacturing. The impperium just can't halt the production of half a forgeworld to reconfigure it to manufacture a new slightly better lasgun. It's much more economic to just levy more guardsmen.

Yeah sorry about the autocannon mixup
But if they can carry missile racks on their backs and still fight effectively it seems a bit strange that powerfist / lightning claw + thunder hammer would cause problems
Also has it even been specified why they don't use heavy bolters or generally more CC weapons with more range than your hand? You'd think a power sword, or damn even chainsword on a terminator would be much more effective. The double assault cannon isn't meant to be fired at the same time either
That reminds me, do power-chainswords exist? You'd think they'd be even better at cutting tanks apart than chainfists.
It's just how the game/codex has been developed, don't try reading too much into it.

Worst enemy of the terminators, [I]banana peels[/I].
I wonder, assault terminators obviously have to fight face-to-face with enemies all the time, so you'd think they would get knocked down every now and then. There has to be a solution for the problem
Maybe they can use their teleporters?
Teleporting wouldn't flip you right side up, It'd mostly be stance and leaning forward that'd keep terminators in close combat on their feet.
Also teleporting is risky at the best of times.
I still don't get how space marines spawn/teleport in retribution, are they riding the lightning to the battlefield?

You act like they never crack jokes, throughout all of the Ultramarine books Uriel Ventris and Pasanius crack jokes on occasion even when [sp]they're banished from the chapter for breaking the Codex[/sp]

They descend from their battle barge or fleet with a drop pod.
Said drop pod lands on the HQ, and the space marines are out there after the HQ has taken in the drop pod.

He should sound like Boreale.

He has got one of the soulstorm intro as well.
Fuck. Just finished False Gods. Now I have nothing to read :v:
So, False Gods spoiler:
[sp]If I understand this correctly, is it true that when Horus went in that meta-reality state at that serpent temple, he was lied to by his 'brother' who represented Chaos, and told him about the evil plans of the Emperor? Because if not, Chaos is basically the good, and the Emperor would be the true chaos. Just need a bit of clarification on that :v:[/sp]
Pretty sure he was tricked.
It's annoying as fuck in DoW II (and the expansions) how they assign different keys for the same special abilities when using different units. I want the same fucking key for jump pack both on assault marines and the force commander. But nooo, they must be different. Consistency is so bad.

I loved that part of the trilogy because [sp]he was shown an accurate vision of the future. The Chaos entity/prescence thing didn't have to lie or fabricate anything. What Horus saw was exactly what would happen by the 41st millenium. Just not how he thought.[/sp]

Oh.
I'd assume it's just a teleporter they have in their fleet/battle barge?

I'm drawing an angry marine sergeant with a power drill for an arm, but I'm lazy as fuck and stuff, and I suck at digital drawing.
Fuck, are the Avatars of Khaine in Chaos Rising as bad as in base DoW II? Because I remember spending an hour to kill one on the easiest difficulty. I'm now on an AoK mission (terminator armor as a reward, baby) but I didn't realize this before starting, so I'm not carrying plasma cannons or lascannons or missile launchers or anything, just my standard assault FC / assault / tactical / I HAVE COME TO DESTROY YOU setup.
So is where everyone buying space marine from I'm buying from here [url]http://www.ultimatumgamekeys.com/en/game/buy-cheap-warhammer-40k-spacemarine-steam-cd-key[/url] sure I might miss some launch day dlc but that is a price which screams a deal in this economic climate and is retribution worth buying since I do have chaos rising But I am unsure about retribution
