>>5294610Very well. LET'S TRY IT.
>>5294358>ADDENDUM TO PREVIOUS+EYES ON THE BACK OF OUR HEAD. Cameras and whatnot. We can shoot at enemies in front and behind
+ARM JOINTS should be strengthened. Most melee enemies will likely attempt to severe arms.
+SEVERE ARMS WILL TRY TO FLY BACK TO SOCKETS via Maglev or Gravlev. Tthink Iron Giant. As long as they aren't destroyed beyond repair they will try to get back on.
+ARM JOINTS should be omnidextrous. All joints able to bend in 360* unlike normal human arms, permitting ease of shooting backwards as well as forwards and in any direction (think IG88)

WEAPONS REQUEST:
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: “Kali, the Grievous Six Shooter”
̶N̶a̶m̶e̶d̶ ̶a̶f̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶c̶i̶e̶n̶t̶ ̶T̶e̶r̶r̶a̶n̶ ̶m̶y̶t̶h̶i̶c̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶a̶ ̶w̶a̶r̶ ̶g̶o̶d̶d̶e̶s̶s̶ Named after Kali-Linux Computer, which has a dragon on it, clearly a prophetic work.
WHAT IS IT?: Use of Superiority of Arms (literally). Emphasis on the mastery of six arms supported by plethora of mechandendrites and support equipment, as well as 360* fighting. Essentially meshes well and could be used for further inspiration with our gunslinging Steel Wardens
HOW?: Emphasis on Pistols / “Counts As Pistols” weapons which can be used in melee.
*Arms will carry energy shield bucklers to parry incoming melee blows*
Against an enemy with only two arms, we will prosper. For with one arm we can parry their blade, and with another arm restrain their hand, while we have four extra to fire into their gut, legs or head at point blank.
There are several strategems in the game which boost pistol fire, we can apply them to boot.
>>5294206DEAR QM – Permission for "Counts as Pistol" to certain weapons?
Since Talos can be so much larger, can we have permission for more weapons to have a “Counts As Pistol” tag in Talos hands? Such as an Assault or Rapid Fire weapon? Perturabo mounted quad barreled Storm Bolters on his wrists and is regularly described as shooting them in the thick of melee in novels. Primaris Marines are described in the books as able to hold certain weapons one handed where firstborn find them heavy and have to use two.
