not just armor ratings, movement as well.

the tau can have gun drones in every single freaking squad...and i can't mix movement types. the troops have either standard or jump movement, but the drones fly.

and the drones would be matrix quality too, but the troops wouldn't be.


and there are people that insist it must be "just like the 40K army".
even though i'm okay with just having them be a matrix squad (neo-tech anyone ?).

i think i lost the point i was trying to make.

so one could use the PI tables to build SI with an AR 0 ? Simply treat as SI in all respects (Agility mods, AoE vulnerability, etc.) ?

That would look so cool in the official errata !!!!!! !!!! !!!! ! ! !!!


thanks !!!!!!!!!

Standard Infantry with an AR of 0.

Table 2.1:Standard Infantry Costs (pg 94) does not list any frames with an AR of 0.  But in the Armor Rating description on page 11 it states that .." standard infantry will always have a zero or positive AR".


this would make converting 40K easier, as i've come to the conclusion that 4+ armor in 40K is equivalent to a SI with an AR of 0.



thanks

Question:

Repeating the question because i still don't know and it's kind of important for figuring the cost of all infantry frames

Thanks

Another Question:

  Is it possible/permissable to place a "weapon link" (infantry unit augmentation) on a vehicle weapon ???


  I'm trying to figure out how to design a Volcano FROG BAP for the Infranites.  The problem is that it has  four linked FROG pods, a Chain Cannon and a vehicular CDW.
  My idea was to put two FROG pods (each with a weapon link) in one "fire action" and the Cannon and CDW in the other.

  For those that don't know, the Volcano is an Anime Mecha.


I'm asking this because it just seems silly that i would have to create two versions of the FROG pod. One for infantry (single pod) and the other for the Volcano (quad pod). If i could create a FR 4 template weapon with 4 shots (16 total) that i didn't have to fire at full FR so i could conserve ammo.....i wouldn't be asking this question.

I'd be asking for a much higher max vehicle weapon cost lol

thanks again,
jim a.

just noticed last night that the four book armies have a typo in their tactical ratings. the last three Tactical Aspects are listed as Tactical Advantage, Failed Figure Morale Test and Failed Unit Morale Test. But the actual Values are listed so that Tactical Advantage should be last.

thanks

Would it be possible to mark the six arcs on the printed record sheets ??


and maybe have them marked some where visible on the design page for reference.


and add in an anime style spinal mount.

i figured the cost of the rocket compared to the combined cost of the rifle. the rifle has two tandem slots and the rocket (or the war leader/chief's GL) is parallel to the rifle.

i've also just thought about having a three slot parallel combo for it. you know, due to weapon design advances and stuff.

or just "average" the long and short range rounds for the rifle so that it will only be a two slot weapon (including the RL or GL).

speaking off infranites......

how would one build a long range smoke launcher?

Good question.  In theory, it will require playtesting more than any mathematical formulae, though its cost would still vary statistically by the weapon frame attributes used to shoot the smoke grenade.  My gut says price it the same as a 9+ AOE template of the same size for -1 LOS and a 7+ AOE template for -2 LOS.  It would have the same tabletop duration as a smoke grenade.

Let me know if you try this out.

i tried this for the chain cannon.
HEAP.....VE...AV...1U...15/30/45/60/--...n/a.....1....n/a...un....65pv
Flech.....VE...AI... 4A...--/--/20/30/40....n/a.....-.....n/a...un....44pv
HE.........VE...AI...1.....15/30/45/60/--...3",9+..-.....n/a....6.....34pv
Smoke...VE...AI...1.....15/30/45/60/--...4",7+..-.....n/a....6.....68pv

these pv costs are before parallel combo modifications(all 4 parallel), so i end up with a final cost of 150pv. maybe knock 50% off the cost of the smoke round cause it does NO damage??
it just seems wrong that the smoke round is so expensive. i thought about just purchasing a "launcher" and adding the cost of whatever type of smoke grenade it acts like onto it. multiplying the grenade cost by the "launcher" FR.like this:

Smoke...VE...AI...2...--/15/30/45/60...3" pers....n/a...n/a...un...42pv
the launcher is 30pv. 3" persistent smoke grenade X FR2 is 12pv.
