Asked befored, theres a way to do it by map script but involves infinite work, meaning we make map spawn other tiles by research and map script, but those tiles are not part of the craft

I have a small suggestion/request. What do you think about adding another ammo type to the shotgun, like a slug/ap round in addition to the buckshot? This is something well established in the 40k fluff and it would add some versatility to a weapon that imo struggles to find a niche when 90% of the enemies wear heavy armor.

[bulletdesigner]

we can do that, i will add try to add it

Shotgun slugs don't really have a place since the boltpistol and even the lasgun exist in the mod. Rather than make the shotgun do something it's not supposed to (deal with heavier armor), I've been working on making lighter-armored enemies more prevalent.

[Doc]

Works for me. What's the idea then, more cultists and the like deployed with Chaos Marines? The variety would be welcome.

How do you guys deal with the Orks? When I destroy them with interceptors, they still have massive fuck-off weapons in crash, and my bolter-toting scouts can't deal with that. Maybe with some experience, or if I had some melta, but as the first mission? No.

[bulletdesigner]

Don't deal with waggons, go for there base, also they are not mandatory missions

[ohartenstein23]

I've had reports that the turrets aren't being destroyed very often when shooting them down. I have it on my list to check that out and see if I need to make it more likely that the turret gets destroyed when shot down.

For dealing with them otherwise, I use sniper rifles, heavy bolters, and missile launchers. Fire krak missiles at range to take out the turrets, then mop up the Orks with sniper fire.

I feel obliged to relay my personal experience with the mod: while dealing with traitor guardsmen, I always find one chimera properly destroyed after successful interception, but in case of orcish wagons I have never seen even one turret destroyed and they have insane reaction fire which can easily shred a space marine in proper armour and a devastator too. So, if you end up too close to a crash, delivering zeal and fury could be extra hard. In case of orcish bases I suggest smokescreens and at least 3-4 snipers if you do not possess proper tactical armour yet as they tend to readily use rockets on you, if they spot you. Also taking down armour usually present on site could be challenging without armour-piercing ammunition or heavy weapons.

I ended up cutting the health, accuracy and reactions of the turrets down a bit to the point where they go down in 1-3 rockets or melta bombs and aren't quite as certain to hit at range. They make a good challenge sure, and make you change tactics by denying you the open ground, but too often I found maps with turrets just turned into me tediously popping and shooting with rockets for round after round before mopping up.
