>>5168520>A mix (Write in)>Those who can react to sudden change>Close Quarters Ranged (GUN FU) + Melee Expertise (Bayonets and other melee implements)"Do you know the ancient Terran epics and the remembrancer pics? There were many of them with a particular style, "Johnathan Whick," "He that Punishes", "Arthur Morrigan," "The Sixth Courier"
They who could wield a gun against those with blades as if they were blades themselves, who could parry, stab, block and kill with both bayonet and shot even with the enemy right up to their face. To sense, react, and kill with haste and speed before the enemy even has time to make his strike and who could do so with ease be they up close or afar.
They should be good with a blade and melee alone if need be, but adding expertise skill in close quarters firearms gives them an edge that a purely melee force might not posses. And it would please the Machine God to include both simple weapon and technology in our methods. Also, I can upgrade a guns firepower a bit more readily easily than I can a sword"
I mean, c'mon guys, even the Emperor does this with his Custodes. ALL their melee weapons can shoot, is it any wonder we would want to emulate our father?
Also by making them good at ranged, it can make certain Mechanicus relics from the lore that push or repel the enemy back more effective.
We can even give them V.A.T.S.>name them:"Adamantium Guard"
NOTE:
We should include other guard types later on, big heavy armored types in terminator armor and the like (or give these guys fast moving terminator armor) but for now this will work as a start as we likely lack the resources for that
