Well considering that an Ork can crush skulls barehanded, a spiked gauntled can cause immense damage. Also, I guess these are just aesthetically altered beginner items. So I guess they will be swapped out for something better sooner then later.
The player was a character in Space Marine, which wasnt a bad game (like Fire Warrior, may it rest in hell), so even by that definition its incorrect.
They were good. Great even. But you were controlling an army I never got the full feeling of being a soldier in the dark future that is warhammer 40k. Space marines was closest but I wasn't an ork so that doesn't count
