- The units are big
- They have excellent production capabilities.
Which is fair enough, but they need something more substantial than that.
Pft, cowardly sorcery. Khorne frowns on such nonsense.
The Hierophant would be better for it, yeah, having long bladed limbs of awesomeness that are faster than you may think. The Hierophant is incredibly agile for its size.
To be fair, Arthas was like the most powerful Death Knight ever, wielding freakin' Frostmourne. It's more than just a really cool sword. Still though, Arthas won that fight far too easily.
Size is a virtue of its own. I mean, when a shell fired by the Fatboy is as large(or even larger) as OOE, it doesn't leave much to the imagination what's gonna happen when it hits. Nukes, Neutrino bombs, Ionized Condensed Plasma, Anti-matter charges, Quantum(yeah, everything is ****ing Quantum in SupCom, whatever the hell that means) weapons, and all kinds of other exotic crap is pretty much mainstay in SupCom. All that is hampered, like Blax said, by SupCom's lackluster lore. It's more or less like "Big war happens in the future, lots of huge robots blow the shit out of each other. Then some aliens decide to exterminate humanity. With huge robots."
Well, Khorne can frown upon it all he likes. Kil'jaeden's sorcery is like hardcore. He's gonna pop the Nids like it's 1999.
