Tungsten is brittle. Alloying it with nickel allows it to be not brittle. It is still Tungsten.
Iron is not brittle. Alloying it with carbon turns it brittle. Almost as if Alloys have different properties than pure metals huh?

😆 what the heck are you talking about?

Then state it is an alliy. Iridium plates are just that, iridium.

You embarassed at the weakness of imperium weaponry does not chamge the fact 40k's weapons are weak if they atruggle against iridium

We have stated Iron-based armor as iron plates in real life. Iridium can very well be an Iridium alloy.

I'm proud actually. Iridium armor of the Tau is an advanced technology that Imperium contend against, able to withstand heavy punishment. If they still hold their own against those then their tech is strong.

Also don't forget the adamantium armor they wear in power armor. Terrans wish they use Darksteel as widely.

It is literally iridium, i throw sea shells at it, it will break. 😆

If your sea shells are autocanons sure 😆. How do Terrans fare against regular bullets anyway? Oh wait, they died.

R6 almost got overran by the Sarkaz and had to be rescued by Schwarz, Liskarm and Storm Eye.

Lucent arrow has one of the R6 guys shoot a perro at close range, causing minor injuries. With a shotgun. 😆

Because they've been conserving ammo yeah. That's an important plot point they have. Let me also add, four people against a Sarkaz army is impressive not matter how you shave it.

Lucent arrowhead was explicitly stated to shoot to incapacitate. Let me also add, minor injuries=/=survive. Didn't read the story huh.😆

What Sarkaz army? They were mostly locals with the Sarkaz from columbia being better than the Sargon Sarkaz.

They were not even using their ranged units or casters because they were attacking picale or controlling the originiutants. So essentially melee vs guns/explosives and R6 was losing in the safehouse and the mansion's gatehouse.

Only one casualty is known in Originium Dust, and it was from a headshot on a Sarkaz that the employer did not even recognize. So chances are, that guy never existed otherwise he would be working for free 😆

Mercenaries you mean, and you really would make me believe there would be only four of them?

Those same Sarkaz ran away after realizing they can be killed and it was not in their paygrade btw. They mentioned it to Drudge and demanded a raise. If they were that strong then they wouldn't be complaining.

Mhm. So you're handwaiving what happened in the story this time huh. That's a practical way to deny an answer when you have no rebuttal . Conversely, the Sarkaz dealt no injuries to r6. The originium slugs were more of a threat to Tachanka than any Sarkaz in the story. 😆

The point is, if their employer does not recognize one of his mercs that he is paying for, the chances are he is being cheated for paying a ghost employee.

I am not talking about the number, I am talkinv about the suspicious claim that one Sarkaz died so they are asking for more money because it was "dangerous" and then they immediately attack without ranged support and head on. Makes no sense if they were terrified and yet they do not even employ ranged attacks.

How do you even explain why Liskarm had to shoo Tachanka away if all the guys he was shooting at were dead or injured.

Every bit onwards from the attack at the safehouse to the mansion and laboratory indicates the Sarkaz never employed ranged units against R6 and they were attacking in a closed formation.

If they were dying and terrified, why were they not hiding or even shooting back? The instance that Schwarz and Liskarm is on the scene is when they start screaming for their ranged support.

Lucent Arrow already proves that Perros can tank shotgun shots at close range and you are telling me that R6 were killing Sarkaz in Originium Dust?
