QuoteYeah unfortunately Fear isn't *as* useful against orks, but outside of hordes they're not totally impervious to it, especially a Fear rating of 3. They're also not the only potential enemies the kill-team will be facing, so I think it'd still be quite useful. Extra strength would also be useful for an assault marine, though
I decided to lean a little less into it by changing my Deed: Battle Damage into a Gauntlets of Xirion derivative. Fear(2) is still strong enough when it matter, but that +10WS is too good to pass on..
Scratch that. The fear Idea is too cool

Deals about the same damage but has the Balanced and Primitive Qualities. More importantly you can make a single Standard Attack as a Free Action with the weapon when using the Defensive Stance Action.
I must be missing something here, but it doesn't seem that good to me. I mean, a free attack is very good, but it means changing weapons, and it is a primitive weapon with no penetration; It seems to me that that would rarely actually do damage. Am I wrong here?
