I knew after getting 9 warp spiders and drooling over Vypers that someday they will be really awesome :D ... or at least usable (vypers)<br /><br />This just means: Jetbikes, here I come!!thejamppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620810243704204780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206634868661691530.post-51063862825268803312012-02-08T22:45:32.121-08:002012-02-08T22:45:32.121-08:00No, you go to a minimum of 1 which is shaken. Ther...No, you go to a minimum of 1 which is shaken. There are ways to get a -4 to the table (-3 from glancing blast weapon where hole is not over the vehicle and a further -1 for being a tank).<br /><br />I have heard that this new damage mechanism makes tanks and certain vehicles more difficult to destroy. I mean they are definitely much easier to hit (tanks on average will be hit as if you were 1 or 2 BS points higher) but they are also a lot more difficult to put out of action. Extra Armor will be key and I am not sure how the game will change it but now you will need 3 weapon destroyed results to put a tank out of being able to shoot and a further weapon destroyed result to "hull breach" the tank into an immobilized result which will then be ripe for being "hull breached" again into a destroyed result, but with the -1 from being a tank some vehicles will be ridiculous to destroy.Yrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953842551991627206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206634868661691530.post-70193852473952539322012-02-08T12:11:28.302-08:002012-02-08T12:11:28.302-08:00SO with the glaces on vehicles now. say you roll a...SO with the glaces on vehicles now. say you roll a 2 and have a -2 for a glance that makes it a zero, does that mean that you are now unaffected by the hit?grinnsirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16895782155671797403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206634868661691530.post-19542928197202537272012-01-26T17:23:41.117-08:002012-01-26T17:23:41.117-08:00Khaghnor: I read the rule wrong, I thought you get...Khaghnor: I read the rule wrong, I thought you get your basic attacks with the pistols and so thought the mandiblaster with Scorps would let them get 2 attacks with their shiruken pistols at s4 rending but I was wrong =).<br /><br />The movement stuff will be huge, I agree. In one super well executed turn for a unit might see the following:<br />You can disembark from transport,charge, kill everything in combat, consolidate so the squad leader is 3" from tank, shoot a target because you wipe a target out with your first round of combat when only charging from your base movement and then embark on the tank all in one turn. Sounds nifty if its possible.Yrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953842551991627206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206634868661691530.post-33380277145246174272012-01-26T14:14:59.730-08:002012-01-26T14:14:59.730-08:00Nice break down of the alleged new rules.

Also I think you are limited to one attack (or the number of attacks on the pistol profile) if a pistol is used in HtH. I'm thinking the engage movement will be a massive boon for the Eldar. Being able to engage out of a vehicle then shoot up another unit after if the assault went your way will be a huge boost (especially Fire Dragons).Kaughnorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15551117029142299069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206634868661691530.post-58474211117020076372012-01-25T07:16:33.998-08:002012-01-25T07:16:33.998-08:00Yeah, our Jetbikes have much to be desired but und...Yeah, our Jetbikes have much to be desired but under the new rules they sure pack more of a punch. A unit with a Warlock upgrade becomes a lot better with destructor and Storm Guardians/Striking Scorpions can use the pistols in CC and rend (and also hit vehicles on 5+, rather than 6+ with WS4 which Scorps start with and Guardians can get through Enhance). Jetlocks can shoot Destructor and use their catapults/Singing Spears, too as a matter of fact.<br /><br />Shining Spears might be cool with being able to do laser lances and their underslung guns-the Exarch will be able to do a Cannon+Star Lance, for example. This might be great to charge 10" with the shining spears and wipe a unit (with having 1 or 2 Autarchs in there) and then shooting nearby targets. Then in the consolidation phase doing a double back move on top of it all.<br /><br />Warp Spiders now shoot 3 shots at 12", that is something to keep in mind and our aspect warriors will still get their +1 attack for 2 CC weapons in assault. Banshees will get a 5+ in close combat due to the Parry rule given from power weapons. These are just a few tidbits, I'll have to do a post on how the rules affect all of our units =).Yrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953842551991627206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206634868661691530.post-5633129679912316332012-01-25T00:39:14.361-08:002012-01-25T00:39:14.361-08:00Great post!

Also love seeing the fireprism scatter less and the nightspinner now shooting s6 rending on every vehicle under the template is great even if it's only shaking or stunning things now. <br /><br />If only our eldar jetbikes had 2 weapons and l our aspect warriors had a dedicated cc weapon so the could use theif assault weapon for an extra attack in close combat.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684949522759606374noreply@blogger.com
