Alpha 9.02 adds a new wargear set to the imperial scout, a sniper rifle. Improvements to the scout's animations for wargear introduced in Alpha 9.01. Balance tweaks to the scout's shotgun and the Meltagun.
Sorry this version has taken so long to deliver, a combination of flu and time-consuming player animations made it run long.
