At least in oBSG the Centurions short sword was just a backup.

Well this one is as well. They carry standard issue droid blasters as primary weapons.

Oh good, the Jedi being exclusively armed with a sword was silly enough.

Re: "No Letters Home" Clone Wars Tech Review
Pfft, that's perfectly reasonable when you compare it to the jousting droids on jetbikes.
I swear, some of this stuff is starting to surpass 40K.

At least the CC in 40K makes sense in universe. The lancer droids where just retarded.

40K, as my understanding puts it, does weird and crazy shit (half the time) for religious zealotry.

Re: "No Letters Home" Clone Wars Tech Review
Sometimes, yeah. Marines engage in CC because of the power armour and their design makes them effective up close as shock troops, ditto for the Orks. The Guard are rather pathetic in close combat, being bog standard humans.Reliant121 wrote:40K, as my understanding puts it, does weird and crazy s**t (half the time) for religious zealotry.

Altering my perception slightly, Sometimes I would call it religious zealotry (Sisters of Battle, anyone?)
And sometimes its purely a case of, you have to be ridiculously violent just to survive in 40K.

Oh gawd, yeah the SoB, they are bloody psychotic. Your right though, society has to be extremely violent in 40K just to survive all the nasties.

Re: "No Letters Home" Clone Wars Tech Review
CC actually makes a degree of sense in 40K due to who engages in it. You've got the Space Marines, who are unstoppable shock-troops and virtually immune to most man-portable weapons, certain Eldar units, who can use their advanced tech to circumvent the whole getting shot thing, the Orks, who do it 'cause it's fun and they're damn tough to take down, and the Tyranids, who are giant bugs.Cpl Kendall wrote:Sometimes, yeah.

Of course, the main reason people engage in CC in 40K is because it's fucking cool to see a power-armoured Space Marine taking on some monstrous daemon with a sword.
