I am a new poster here so obviously I have not scoured the forums in search of these topics beforehand (mostly due to the lack of any identifiable forums search function). Right now the chainaxe appears to have identical stats to the power axe except for costing 100 less LP and having considerably less penetration. As it stands, there is no real benefit to choosing the chainaxe over the power axe, which brings into question the whole Khornate line of progression as a gameplay style. It even costs the same amount of requisition to purchase the power axe, and 100 LP laughably fails to be a balancing factor, meaning anyone who takes two seconds to looks at the stats takes the power axe over the chainaxe. I understand that a power axe is fundamentally better than a chainaxe, however gameplay-wise that makes it irrelevant, and irrelevant game content is a bad thing. I would suggest increasing its speed or otherwise balancing it compared to the power axe. Perhaps some involvement in a new Berzerker class, or some chainaxe-specific performance improvement via the Khornate character progression tree. It seems as though Khorne and CSM melee in general have taken a backseat compared to other aspects of the game, being objectively worse than LSM melee by not sharing the shield as a vanguard option, or any other melee-balancing factor in this regard (mutations??). The most immediate offense to the Blood God is the lack of inclusion of the World Eater Legion. I am not sure if this was a conscious design decision concerning color clash with the Blood Angels, but I think this is a major pain point. In Chaos fluff there is really 1 Legion that truly represents each Chaos God, and I would assume there are plans for these 4 Legions (which include WEs), since none of them are included in the current version of the game. I hope that the uniqueness and character of these Legions are imparted well through gameplay and class/character progression in these Legions. Really what we need is some blood-red and brass berzerkers in the field tearing the enemy apart with roaring chainaxes, and that's why I posted. (Please consider Berzerker class with ground charge ability, thanks) fake edit: added a poll for Berzerker as a unique class
Can't you sort of make Berserkers now? MoK is in. Chain Axes have been in. Isn't there a Chaos helmet that is basically the Berserker iconic helmet?
Now you can make a kind of khorne berzerker without the iconic red and gold colour. But in the future will be 5 chaos elites. One for each chaos mark (undivided champion, khorne berzerker, plage marines, sound marines and WHO THE FUCK KNOWS tzeentch).
There are some funky rabbit ear helmets in there but nothing that screams Khorne. Same for the other dedicated god builds. I'd even go as far as to say LSM have helmets that would suit Nurgle and Slaanesh builds better than the ones we get.
World Eaters couldn't work because that'd be a subfaction that cannot heal at all (no Sorcerers), unless some kind of Fabius Bile class is added in just for World Eaters. Also, you can make a World Eater Raptor by playing as Word Bearers. They get gold trims on their armor, looks pretty flash.
