I have to be honest... Im not a fan. It just completely broke my gang. My leader is a psychic melee guy (with a now defunct toxin claw), my acolytes are all equipped with pistols and bombs, while my neophytes carry heavy weapons... and thats not even considering the huge nerf of psychic powers...

Spring up also nicely combos with dive, which NoS doesnt.

Another pistols in melee question: If my dual pistol model runs out of ammo, does the pistol still count as an extra weapon? We decided it should, but werent really sure...?

I think its just generally a good idea to ban clone loadouts. The only exception to this should be gangers, because youd run out of options otherwise. But as-is, clones just lead to a somewhat lacking character, and can even lead to confusion. Better to just go and stick with unique loadouts, at...

Im personally not a fan of magnets on this scale... things get fiddly, you lose pieces, and the poses are going to look off because of them. Better to stick to a loadout that looks cool and is reasonably effective. As to the actual topic, I do try to stick to WYSIWYG, barring stuff like...

I think the consensus so far seems to be that the rivet cannon is rarely worth it. Grenade launcher seems a lot more useful... saves you 20 pts, too, enough for a respirator for an important model, for instance. (might be useful against Escher)

Thats balanced out by the possibility of higher toughness though... at toughness 5 or 6, things would be getting kind of tough, I feel... :/

That is a pretty awesome board! Though Id echo the sentiment that you might have some issues with sightlines... Maybe having some of the central pieces missing could work? So instead of this: ________ _____ ____________ _ ___ _____ ___ _______________ Youd have something more like this...

Tbh, I feel the whole "no pre-measuring" thing is kind of antiquated anyway. And especially in an action-based game, its really just kind of farcical... So Im going to move now, which means I get to see how far I go... oh, and Im just going to ignore that I can now also see that the enemy is in...

BTw, does anyone know how you gain special territories? I couldnt really find anything on gaining them, just how you lose them (sabotage mission)... am I missing something? ô_o

Nice use of the BFG parts. Anything youre going to use it for? :)

Hmmm... well, you do have some points there, though I still feel you shouldnt be able to just buy the really heavy stuff... It would make more sense to have them as a campaign or scenario reward. Raid the armoury, if you do especially well, you get this really cool weapon, kind of thing. That...

Well, on a (more or less) armoured chassis, it could work. Even then though, plasma cannons would probably be rare, considering their status in general. If theyre barely used in the military because theyre so rare, then some underhive ganger is almost never going to see one. Itd be a...

Except thats not really "better" gear, just different. And probably custom-built, too. And ludicrously expensive to boot. Its the equivalent of a goldplated revolver - is it common? No. But its not really all that practical, either. Its really just a weapon thats supposed to tell your opponent...

... thatd even be impressive for 40k proper... I mean, thats roughly the amount of bullets a Leman Russ Punisher puts out... and that thing is armed with a gatling cannon... <.<

This one killed my champion and leader, both had one or more parries... :/ Probably one of the major reasons for this attempt at a fix, really. Chemsynth is absolutely useless on melee if you cant have it on a turn youre charging. And even then, toxin weapons arent exactly murderising Goliaths...

Dont forget the limitation of having to survive a phase of CC without actually having killed your opponent in the first place. From bitter, if limited experience, thats a pretty rare occurrence... especially if said opponent has a renderizer... :/

I reckon you *might* be able to have it as an always-on ability, but that feels like it might be a bit too powerful for a 15pt upgrade... Id rather just nerf the stimm slugs. :P

Seriously considering getting those when they come out... just look really cool and thematic. Also, my brother is going to have a field day when he learns about the chaos cultists. :P

Alright, now that tangent is dealt with, anyone have any criticism, thoughts or anything to add to my idea? I wont be able to try it out until the weekend, so if anyone else has the chance, Id love to hear about it! :)
