Millipede 6pts: Insekt Order- Millipede, Bonus Trait 1 1st Tier Centipedea Traits, Increase Strength 1, Decrease Ranged 1, Natural Armor 1 (Natural Defense), Defensive Weapon (Natural Defenses)
just abit confused on the way its written, i imagine its supposed to be something related to their hardened exoskeleton
thanks, Im redoing my Cordyceps and was looking to use millipede instead of Insecta coleoptera. their going heavy melee so stench will be on the whole faction and I was thinking of using larva
Defensive Weapon is a catch-all weapon term, in much the same way a Common Melee Weapon is any sort of sword, axe, or other basic armament. Here, it refers to any sort of natural use of the Insekt's own body, in a sort of 'the best offense is a good defense' way.
Page 126 has the information you're looking for. To summarize, a Defensive Weapon lets you attack using your Defense characteristic instead of Martial, but only within 1" while Engaged. As per the usual with Natural Weapons and Defenses, you can bolt Morphs to it, which can dramatically increase your effectiveness. Stench can provide hilarious value for how cheap it is, while Crushing and Massive are real nasty surprises for anyone who thought your Defense-focused race couldn't fight back.
