    Would you like to have Salamanders chapter in the game ? i think they are awesome and worth to be in ( when flamers eventually comes) maybe in the free expansion

    Apparently flamers aren't coming to the game, and without flamers what's the point of bringing salamanders.

    I would like the Raven Guard to come in at some point, or the Lamenters (I wish.)

    Yea flamers arent coming :(, I'm all ultramarine :SMDeal: personally but I'd like to see Black Templars come in as another chapter.

    What's this about no flamers? We have meltas and melta equivalents, surely flamers aren't that big of a stretch.

    Someone can be more descriptive as this is only what I heard. The flamers will not be added because the game engine would not be able to handle them.

    Yea you'd think not that big of a stretch, but how long did "campaigns" take? All that turned out to be is a stat counter.

    *groan* great anotherr thing that can't be added on to the game because......"reasons" *waves hands around spookily*

    I still want salamanders though. They are a first founding chapter and you could always equip them with a melta and pretend it's a flammer........even though it's not.....

    Basic Explanation:
    Flames are resource intensive. When a transparent/translucent item is represented, your computer has to draw the image behind it, and then draws again to add the effects, probably multiple times until the finished image. So instead of drawing one image and moving on,your computer is drawing a lot of images.

    That's the basic explanation. If you want a "what if" or "well they did this" I am trying to find the ELI5 for this I saw a little while ago.
    Edit: Found something close enough.

    And that's why fire is hard to render (will fix link when I get home)

    Hopeful for Salamanders though.
