How would /k/ fight the locus horde?
DDT
steroids and chest high walls.

If you don't care about collateral damage, there's better stuff out there.

kek
>>28247282
But they did use nerve gas along with laser weapons fire on the surface that burn about 90% of the planet the problem was that the horde is located deep underground.
>>28247299
you must make nerve gas heavier than air and flood the tunnels you dummy
or use ddt
>>28247299
Well, then the best thing to do is probably to set off a hydrogen bomb in the tunnels.
Heat and pressure do bad things to people confined spaces.
Distress beacon into space
wait for results
>>28247425
Don't space marines purge corruption? humans infected by lambent, naturally they will be purged.
>>28249308
xenos are classified as corruption
>bury mines in the ground

But seriously, in GoW lore the only reason the Locust managed to do any damage was because Humans were too busy fucking each other up over the Pendulum Wars
>>28247421
What is the lightmass bomb
Dump heavy gases into their tunnels. Make ocean bases. Maybe don't equip soldiers with chainsaw guns, I dunno.
>>28250324
The chainsaw guns were a significant upgrade though
Also, Lancers are pretty fucking good rifles. Low recoil, huge magazines, manageable rate of fire
>>28250340
Yeah but if you take off the weight of the chainsaw and the fuel to make it work then you've got a significantly lighter rifle without losing any of the other great qualities.
Like chainsaws aren't even actually good for killing things, you're gonna stop for 7 seconds amidst a firefight to saw a motherfucker?
>>28250383
You know i never thought about it that way.
>>28250383
You're looking at a universe where slamming the bullets into the gun harder makes it shoot with more power. What you should be asking is how the chainsaw works when all the space the chain should be returning through is taken up by the magazine.
I don't think the lancer has low recoil so much as all their rations are packed full of steroids. If they gave a hoot about the recoil there would be a stock on it. Probably the same reason they can run around hip firing gatling guns and shoulder fire the in universe .50 BMG equivalent.
In fact, the in universe explanation for why they moved to chainsaws was because the regular bayonet wouldn't cut it - the locust have such tough thick skin it's hard to make it work unless it's on the end of a rifle, and as has been seen you need a running start. Apparently one of Marcus's buddies grabbed a circular saw in a department store and went to town when he was in a bind, which is how the COG got the idea in the first place when he passed it up to his dad. The chainsaw bayonet doesn't need a running start to do its job and guarantees a kill.
My own headcanon is that all their systems are toughened due to exposure to this immulsion shit for generations and the only way to kill is to shoot all the blood out. In a man portable arm the best you can do is go in one side and out the other, trying to make something fragment just breaks up on the skin or distributes just under it. It's the only way I can think of to explain why they can take repeated shots to the skull and not die, for example. The rounds just donk off the hardened skull. Or so many shots to the torso with the red stuff spraying absolutely everywhere and be fine a few minutes later - because the holes seal and the bone marrow kicks into overdrive.
>>28250340
>huge magazines
Of all the things to piss me off about that game, the way the Lancer reloaded fucking irritated me the most.
>>28252546
>all their rations are packed full of steroids
This. Why the fuck is everyone fucking Space Marine huge?
>>28252546
>slamming the bullets into the gun harder makes it shoot with more power
I live in a universe where slamming the battery into a drill makes it drive with more power.
Say it ain't so bitches.
>>28247258
Rods from God to shatter the tunnels. Channels and tunnels to the ocean to flood them. Thermobarics for the smaller tunnels.
>>28252558
Because they need to be. they also have a couple of backup organs put in.
>>28252558
genetically modified, multiple backup organs, strong as fuck, etc etc.
>>28249308
THEY WOULD ALL BE PURGED
>>28252558

>They basically are (pussy versions of) Space Marines
No wonder all the Gears fags said Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine was a ripoff of their snowflake game.
>>28253707
even tho 40k came out decades ago they actually said it ripped off Gears?
>>28253730
>even tho 40k came out decades ago they actually said it ripped off Gears?
Yup. Despite Space Marines being a thing since the late 1980's, it was plastered all over the GoW fangirl pages.
I grudgingly played GoW 1&2, and I own Space Marine. The gameplay mechanics are like a combo of GoW & Halo, with no cover system but a superior melee mechanic.
>>28252558
>People still post that disinfo image made by some fucking dip shit that knows nothing about Warhammer 40k.

Proof that man has no soul is found in the invention and the variety of chemical weapons
>>28253817
I was looking for a better one, but to illustrate my point it did well enough.
With that dope as gnasher lever action 12 gauge.
On a related note anyone fire the century 1887 clone? Thinking about getting one because I have a fetish for lever 12 gauges
>>28253817
>>28252558
This is the correct ver.
>>28247282
Chemical weapons are nothing more than bug spray for humans. They work on the same general principle, but mammals don't have the same receptors as insects.
>>28254315
>>28254640
Just read up on nerve agents.
I'm actually saddened and terrified that this shit was invented.
I got a couple ideas.

There are "Useful Xenos" in the Imperium.
Evacuate human population into space. Find another planet. Leave for it and as a final FU. I find a huge asteroid and drop it on the planet.
>>28254880
sounds like something a xeno would say
>>28254640
>>28254692
Chemical weapons wil make you lose control over your muscles so they stop working. you suffocate because your body refuses to breathe in.
Or they will cause blisters to form on your body and in your lungs, filling them with fluid and make you drown on dry land.
I would use clever traps, OP.
>>28254937
Or a commisar overlooking ogryns
>>28255065
ogryns are not xenos.

>>28255074
This. They're tolerated mutant humans.
>>28255065
Fuck Eldar.
>>28249308
Nah. So long as they begged for forgiveness, they would be absolved then executed
>>28255274
that's the plan
>>28247258
With guns
Call antman and have him use his army of ants to kill the locusts
>>28257306
Dude no one deserves that
>>28255274
Vigorously.
>>28255050
Your fighting the locust war and suddenly hank hill comes out of a E Hole to kick your shit in.
>>28255274
Yes
>>28252546
>Rations likely packed with Steroids.
Then why aren't the women getting messed up?
Better explanations.
>Sera is mountainous and may have slightly higher gravity/lower air pressure than Earth, resulting in stockier Humans.
>Rations are likely synthetic due to food shortages, and packed with as few empty calories as possible. Protein, Calcium, Amino Acids, all essential vitamins reign supreme.
>Military actually strength-trains their troops, since they were in the middle of a global conflict when the Horde emerged.
>Their armor makes them look bigger.
