The Spark Bolter

Description
A bolter. For sparks.

Fully functional in LW2 as well as vanilla
A set of 3 tiered Bolters for spark units, quite a bit stronger than their respective vanilla counterparts.
Tintable, if you prefer flamboyant weaponry (apply a camo first)
Features rapid fire and increases to aim and damage, allowing sparks to be a worthwhile force on the field in an effort to counteract the expense required investing in Spark units.

A version for standard soldiers is now available in one of my other mods
______________________________________

NOTE:
NOT compatible with WotC as far as I know. Without the tools included in the DLC, i can not make an updated version for the expansion. Should I end up getting said expansion/tools, I will most likely make compatible versions for all my mods

______________________________________


In short:
This is my first mod going throught the whole process, creating a custom model, uvs, textures, and putting everything into the game. It is not very well optimized at the moment or super high quality visually, and I kinda put balance in the back seat for a "Big scary murder cannon" feel for the bolter. If balance is a big enough problem, let me know and I'll make a second one thats a bit more balance focused.

Future Plans:
Seperate models and possibly effects for the different tiers
Models for attachments

______________________________________

CHANGENOTES:

6/14/17:
slightly reduced size of weapon(roughly 10-15%)
Added vanilla compatibility, no longer requires LW2, still functions with it though
Removed mechanized warfare requirement to allow people who did the SLG mission to actually use the weapon

6/13/17:
inital release

______________________________________


Requires Shen's Last Gift DLC

Not sure if this is necessary seeing as its a mod, but

A bit, I think I might do some tau stuff for sparks in the future but Id like to finish a bit more emperium stuff first. Got a pretty sizable mod for sparks in the pipeline though so hopefully that can at least tide ya over till tau stuff

Have you looked into doing anything tau related? Battlesuit SPARKS or fire warrior armor?

Probably wont do a WotC of this specifically, but I am working on a much more in depth mod for sparks, including at least several 40k weapons and 40k themed armor. Possibly specific classes for them as well if its not too involved
