I'd love to see warp spiders, but imagine the rage they would induce, especially if it was like a jet pack where it recharges!! Would be awesome though.
I don't see Shadow Spectres fitting in without being an elite. Heavy armour, jet pack, and a decent ranged gun-even if it does require multiple characters/shots to make an effective tank hunter, and even with it being a heavy weapon. Obviously that's something I'd like to see resolved because of Scourges, but within the Craftworld group it just doesn't seem like something that's going to be developed at at the expense of other ideas, especially when it's so much easier to say "elite". Also Shadow Spectres are Forgeworld. I don't know what the licensing details are (they made MkIV and V armour after all) but I can see that being a stumbling block.
Only Myamera can be shadow spectres i think right? Wouldn't they have to come when new sub factions come?
Oh man, if the forums are a salt mine now, it would become an ocean of salt water if warp spiders could phase out 3-4 times in a row. Anyone who played it would be labeled an op noob hacking dick. But man...it would be worth it.
All this talk about warp spiders and shadowy specters... All I want is shining spears. Add them and make them function just like lances in mount and blade, and I would never touch another class or faction ever again.
You should have been here durring the 5th subfaction vote 3+ yeara ago. The Shadow Spectres are all specifically from a single craftworld... And guess which one was one of the options specifically for this class. Guess which one was chosen instead. Guess why.
That is more likely to happen once all factions get bikes in general. You may get a vehicle, heck you might get a lance, but a completely new aspect? unlikely. Besides you would be stuck playing in the open areas. Same problem with Crimson hunters. Hold up I'm going to read your mind. MENTOK, DO YOUR THING! ........Shadow sectors come from Mymeara. ........5th subfaction was Altansar. Which is not Mymeara. .........and the reason was that Shadow spectors are pretty much Dark reapers with jet-packs. Something that sound incredibly hard to balance seeing as every other "heavy gunner" class's weakness is supposed to be slow movement. Rather than think up a new weakness for shadow specters they went "fuck it let's just put Altansar/Dark reapers in". How was that did I get it?
I could at least see the lance happening as a melee outfit for bikes. And yeah, no map current is really even suited for bikes. They absolutely have to make large maps in order for this to work. We'll see in the comming weeks what they have planned for large territories.
I suppose shadow spectres wouldn't be too bad balance wise....dark reapers fall like flies when focused fired. Also, swooping Hawks can suppress with the right weapons. Granted people would shed tears of salty blood if there was a jet pack unit running around with a shuriken canon, or even a tempest or reaper launcher. Would be fun for us though! Until they nerfed them a patch or two later. It would be a good ride while it lasted.
