so are you telling me i can play as a poisonous backstabbing ambusher and also the striking scorpion at the same time? nice!
Speaking of which, some sort of poison would be a good application of the Scorpion Mandiblasters. Perhaps it would delay the armour recharge.
Dunno about poison m8,we have 2 ways of aplying poison (SoC and Narthecium) and it seems 2 much allready in my opinion.
They're both on a support class, not a melee-focused class though. Asymmetric balance, yo. Edit: Plus, it depends on its effect, not the name.
Poison would make sense (being Scorpions and all), and could be a good way to implement and balance the mandiblaster. Buuuuut, it's not in the Lore. So unless GW doesn't say: "Great Idea! You do that, and maybe we even write it in the next Codex" then I don't see it happening
