=][= Inquisimunda small issue

[Underhiver]

Lately i discovered a missing piece of equipment in Inquisimunda book. Arbitrator's shield is not listed and not present in any form in the book.

So, my question is, you will mantain latest original rules we got in Necromunda for this equipment? I mean:

+2 to armor saves in 90° front degrees, and an additional weapon in HtH with Str3

I am not sure about leave it unchanged, because in this book there are also Power Armors available (so a model can reach 1+ save by combining both), or can be gived to very tough guys (like an ogryn).

Even if you don't play I.munda, you can just suggest me a good option to include this piece of gear, that honestly are too much cool to be ignored ... and most important, an average cost and rarity to include it.

In this book, armors cost are:

light (6+) 5+d6cred
flak 15cred
medium (5+) 20cred
heavy (4+) 30+d6cred
power (3+) 50+d6cred

Remember than in I.munda, save modifier are slightly lower (very near to latest CE), so armors are a bit more effective to have.

Never used any like these before in 40K, but I feel your suggestion of using the latest version of these rules is best. First off, power armor is hard to aquire. Secondly, if you (or your opponent) is cheesy enough to also use a shield, you should poke him with the red range ruler. Hard.

Also, the save increase is only to the front arc.

But mostly #2.

So I keep it that way... but values is not indicated in the old Enforcers book, because this is part of the equipment. I think it may go from 20 to 30 points, still deciding

 

[Tulkas]

Do what feels right.

Same cost as medium armour? Since you don't get the armour bonus in hth or outside the front arc. Maybe add 5pts? It would be more if it didn't take up a hand. And add rules that it fills that hand all game and the model can't use basic weapons. That's my 2p anyway.

It sounds legit, but the armour ALSO applies in HtH, because is not stated otherwise. As in HtH you retain your 90° sight, so enemy engaging you in this area allow you to use the extra armour.

Hmm. Strange. Well, if it does still apply, make the sucker cost the same as heavy armour then.
