I tested out the Ork Choppas/Chain Choppa and the Knuckles today at the garrison with damage mods. Choppas do 299 to the back with a strong attack and Knuckles 335! Every other attack is significantly lower but damn do those shoota boys channel Mork!
You mean like Swooping Hawks dropping in silently behind someone and skipping their gun and intended game play?
Ranged units should not kill at the same speed as a dedicated melee class, flanking or not. The box knives are no joke, they're practically Chainswords with faster attack animations and Triple damage on back shots instead of typical backshot bonuses.
They should take out that bonus on the hawks. But for tacticals and variants its ok. FUN FACT: Painboyz do normal damage on the back.
As a swooping hawk who does that frequently, knife range is pretty much effective range of hawk guns, so I might just as well rip you a new butthole
Swooping "Striking Scorpion" Hawks It is kinda cheesy. I believe the Hawks are going to receive some balancing attention in some form.
Why is it a thing that people believe BS hearsay instead of trying it out themselves. This is wrong, knives do double power attack damage, just like any other weapon. I swear going by this forum you get one shot by a light attack of a Squat wielding a butter knife.
