eldar weaponry is probably a good bet in terms of reliability and light ammo.SckizoBoy said:... oh, where's your sense of pageantry?!
Probably true, though I don't know how pulse rifles are recharged, and while lasrifles can be recharged by sticking the mag in a fire, it degrades it and can cause it to explode. But, under the circumstances, with plenty of fires around (it's a zombie apocalypse after all) it's probably a good bet, and their cheap as hell, ain't they?
WRT small arms, I'd take the Avenger Shuriken Catapult (mono-molecular ammunition so light as hell) a few clips will last forever. In close combat, I'll have a Scorpion Chainsword plus Quin's Kiss... and I reckon I have the skill IRL to pull it off! =P
so my sense of pageantry just came back and i am going with a xv8 crisis suit(since my beloved tau don't have titans) with a flamer, burst cannon and fusion blaster. i can jump away and even if the zombies have tanks i can kick their ass.
i am not 100% sure about the pulse rifles but they have to be recharged quite frequently or at least the battery pack has to be replaced.in theory you also have to replace the storage compartment for the particles that are accelerated but this stops working long after the rifle deterioration far beyond being able to be used anyway.
wow, i really know more than is probably healthy about tau weapons.
