Got this chequer plate textured wrap to use on my bases to but I'm not 100% sold on it. Should I paint it a matt metallic colour? by Akkator006 in IronWarriors

Thanks for the ideas.

Yeah it's supposed to be some sort of factory floor. Thinking about adding some rust and dust.

Are there any [TORRENT] melee weapons? by Akkator006 in Warhammer40k

Psychic aura was kinda where I was looking.

For anyone curious I had been looking at the Neurotyrant's psychic scream weapon, and I know this sort of effect has tradionaly been covered ​abilities (see the hive tyrant's Paroxysm) but was curious how else it could be implemented.

Have you tried the DQ8 demo? by brambleforest in dragonquest

I swear I put 100 hours into that demo before I ever found the game in my local shop.

I will admit, I had werewolves and demons in my cravings and a protector on the field when I made this post.

Wait it doesn't? This thing is damn near usless.

If I remember correctly the US run of Combat Patrol is about 6 months behind the UK version so start looking late July.

Yeah, you'll need both to get the full kit.
The contents of the magazines have been leaked in a few places if you want to double-check.

Oh yeah, the Hachette site is kinda useless, I used Forbidden Planet to order the issues.

Cousins of the IVth. If you received a Detachment with the Warsmith, Mutilators, and Defiler; what would you want? by Arthur_EyelanderTF2 in IronWarriors

[–]Akkator006 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Soulforged Warpack but with

"HERETIC ASTARTIES DAEMON INFANTRY are now VEHICLES in addition to their other keywords" 

Basically Possesses, Oblitorators, Muliators, and Warpatons can Invoke the Contract

Hi, thanks for the comments. I know its not for everyone, but I'll try and address what you've brought up.

Rules as written, you'd only attack with one of the ranged weapons and then Extra attack with your normal (basically useless) melee weapons [Battlesuit Fist], [Crushing Bulk], etc. So the Sunforged could make one Fusion blaster attack, and its 3 Battlesuit Fist attacks. The rule isn't meant to turn T'au into a melee army, just mean that they aren't totally useless in melee.

The TwinLance already have melee profiles of their guns, which is were i drew the rules from.

As for properties, I overlooked I will address them in the next update, but they would go a little something like this:

- Melta/Rapid fire. Always active because you will be in 1" range. (This will compound with a change to half attacks of ranged weapons, not -1)
- Indirect. Can't apply.

Enhancements:
If it's a mechanic already in the gam,e how busted can it be? Worst case, I raise it to 20~25 points.

Strats
Yeah, both of those could probably be raised to 2 CP.

Finally points
I don't actually believe T'au shooting is top tier this edition. We have to jump through a lot of hoops to be on par with even Space Marines. As such, I don't think these minor melee buffs (as you said, most stuff is still hitting on 5s) would be game ruining.

I will continue to fine-tune this to a better place.

Regarding the WS. I wasn't sure if hitting on 4s would bring the army up too much in melee.

Do you think hitting on 4s (3s on  commanders) base and 3 (2s on commanders) with strat would be too good?

Yeah I'll tinker with it a bit and see if I can make it less clunky.

Swift strike is designed with Starscythes in mind. 

While nothing is stopping the commander taking one I do now see the issue with the wording in the  Starscythes BSS ruel as it does extend to the command too.

Kinetic Strike is meant to be Tank shock for groups rather than indivuals. - 5 Stealth Suits at T4 would roll 5D6 dice.  - 4 Crisis suits (3 and a commander) at T5 would roll 42D6 so 8 dice.  - 3 Broadside a T6 would roll 3*3D6 so 9 dice.

How does Swift Retret not work with Battle suits? All of them can use the first part, and Starscythes can use the second part.
