That awkward moment when you realize that Orks have the most cosmetics out of all the factions.

But hey, don't let me interrupt your bias. Please, continue.

This game is for the Space Marine.
New armor? For the Space Marine!
Who will be stronger? Space Marines!
Who will be nerfed? Other fictions!

I created a similar theme for a long time ago, nothing changes. Nov 19, 2016 http://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/why-developers-only-stimulate-people-space-marine.61040/

Guys guys, Aspect warriors are hyper specialized. They get to do one thing well, and that's it. When we read the DA's description we see:

"Dire Avengers are the most tactically flexible of the aspect shrines."
​

Oh wait, that says nothing about short ranged shooting. So yeah, scope options when?

Scopes for Eldar DA's? I wish. I guess we have to forget about the Diresword also as 'its an Exarch weapon' as stated by Noah on Twitch. Anyone else's Granny want a powerfist? We got loads from that crashlanded Thunderhawk...

There are already Exarch weapons in the game.

Exactly... so why no Diresword and what did Noah mean by his answer?

It will probably be an elite weapon, and since it's a two handed weapon, we are not going to have it so soon. And IF we finally have it, it will come with energetic hammer for the other race (dunno what is the usual 2 handed weapon for Ork).

Bref, it will not allow us to modify our usual DA to change his specialization or melee ability. (*cough* apho *cough*)

You're thinking of the power glaive, not the diresword. The sword's a one-handed weapon.

And dont forget that dire sword shouldn't be a common power weapon. It should has a burning effect like abaddon's grace or priest's crozius have. Thats how devs can represent the mind burning effect.


Diresword is an Eldar Power Weapon only wielded by Exarchs of the Dire Avengers Aspect. These one-handed, single-edged Power Swords are crafted in the Eldar style, into which a potent Eldar spirit has been placed through the incorporation of a Spirit Stone into the blade. Any target wounded by a Diresword can be killed outright by the spirit residing within the Spirit Stone. When a blow is struck, the spirit within the sword will attempt to destroy the enemy's mind, potentially killing them instantly. This action is similar to the Imperial Nemesis Force Weapons used by psykers like the Grey Knights. The Phoenix Lord Asurmen carries the very first Diresword, the Sword of Asur. It contains the soul of his brother Tethesis, who was slain by a daemon, which allows the ancient Eldar hero to continue to fight against the greatest enemies of his people.

Back when I messaged support about a refund for my Mael Dannan diresword, I was informed that direswords would be released as common Power Swords.
