Dex, I gotta say, I love this pack as well as the Leman Russ Variant Pack. The way you meshed them into the game to be so vanilla-like is really nice. I am not a Militarum main myself, however, I these flow perfectly into their battle-doctrine. I have a personal request.

Following an identical route, I'd love to see an Adepta Sororitas Vehicle Pack, and an Adepta Sororitas Armor variant pack. I'd love to even collaborate to do some of the research to make it happen. The Castigator has an autocannon variant, and the Exorcist has a conflagration rockets option, which are anti-infantry, according to what I've read/played a little on tabletop.

To my understanding the Sororitas are fairly OP depending on who they're fighting. That said, they still lack a lot of transport-ability, as well as some specialized units that'd greatly improve their capabilities. Also, fighting the Militarum as Sororitas - sucks, a lot, but it can be fun.

I simply put this mod but it's the only one I have and when I click to search for it like shadowsbane it doesn't just search for them

Just the Manticore? The research icon is missing or it is greyed out as not having met requirements?

You might have a conflicting mod.

hello guys can someone explain why i can't research the manticore? (i'm playing multiplayer with my friend)

Thanks so much for the report JB-717. I don't get much time playtest myself. Mostly going by experience from years ago when I played this game like crazy.

If you can muster a line of Shadowswords supported by Tank Commanders and Engineseers then you better be rewarded with some killing. Hope up u had fun!

Alright, the Shadowsword is an absolute monster in my experience using it so far in several IG games already against ultra hard and very hard AI.

What I do is I use tech priests behind the shadowsword with the damage boost ability and tank commanders to stand beside the shadowsword and use their gunner's kill on site ability. The result is the damage of the Shadowsword is pretty much doubled. And in some circumstances I'm one shotting Eldar and Ork superheavy units. Other times a single shot kills at the very least half their half if they're in significant cover.

For people that think it's underwhelming, you're not supporting it right. Use damage buffs, get a tank commander, keep tech priest nearby. This thing can literally create an unbreakable defensive line for those that wanna turtle and economy build for a couple dozen turns. A half dozen of them can easily be a game ender when supported this way.

Hey Gatgatattack. The culprit might be another mod that effects the Manufactorum building. Though it should be compatible with most mods since my files are additive.

anyone know why the manticore or other vehicles arent showing up in my build options after i research them?
