>>7787917from a gameplay stance, the cannon seems like an interesting addition, it lets you lob grenades and other such things without wasting animation time to lower your weapon and throw something. Now you can keep blasting and quickly shoot off an explosive. I might actually remember to use it this time.
But DESIGN wise it's very stupid and just clutters up his look.
The armblade on the other hand adds NOTHING to a dude who RIPS AND TEARS, in fact visually it is a MASSIVE downgrade because glory kills are now too fast and clean. If they really wanted to give him an arm mounted melee, it needs to FIT his rip and tear aesthetic. In other words, Space Marine Chain Fist or get out.
