I don't think its OP, im now just thinking with how hard I tried to ensure the PRAETORIAN was not OP that perhaps in comparison to this unit I underpowered it a bit.
I know, in actually the Praetorian is probably more powerful than Kelley in Fate's Edge right now. I mean like @Andraina said, he can't even control it properly lol
Anyways, speaking of OP, I was talking to the GM about stuff due to our ships internal defenses being as good as melee tau and wondering about what to do with the actual salvage, and also kinda continued the whole crazy guy with weird mech things (SCARABs ftw) and I came up with this idea. We talked about it for a while, and he said to pitch it to you guys and see what you think. This is the important part of what I said: "I was thinking of making canoptek constructs, a kind of robot. I figured If you were cool with SCARABs, this would also be cool. I wanted to add them in for two reasons: one, we have atrocious space defense apparently. They managed to get the the crew quarters? What are these incompetents up to. Two, it helps me go into the direction I want my character going outside his suit. I was thinking of making five kinds. Wraiths: a powerful melee unit that has a center all pistol and phases through things, Spyder: A large Spydery construct that has a spinal gun and repair claws ,Attack Scarabs: Tiny little SCARABS with electrified claws (regular SCARABs are a beach ball, these and all other scarabs are the size of a soda can), Flensing Scarabs: Like attack Scarabs but with bladed claws, Mindshackle Scarab: (this one I was a little iffy about including) integrate into the spine of a victim and make them a puppet. Now, these were for out of FRAME stuff, as I didn't want this to turn into warhammer TT where titans run from bugs." I am willing to mod them in case they are OP, and very willing to not include the mindshackles. In case you guys noticed this, they are very much a warhammer reference, and we talked about that too. I said this on the subject: "I'm not trying to make this a 40k thread, its just kinda the theme and such that I like. To put it simply, I'm trying to make 40k THEMED stuff, as opposed to it being 40k stuff (wraiths that were true to lore would be OP AF). I'm sorry about using so much of this stuff, its basically just the theme I like. If it helps, think about it like instead everything was about dogs or dog based. Its like that. I like having a theme, like a batman villain if that helps. Like instead of catwoman necronman"
@Xanxas With the exception of the Mindshackle Scarab, I support the rest of this post. I think it's cool Kyras' has a unique style that's 40K themed, everything from the looks of his FRAME to his Rider. I hope we can include this stuff into the RP, though I too am a bit unsure myself of the mind control thing (too much like headcrabs from HL). But if the gm saids it's cool, then I guess it's cool.
