jeffersonian000 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Okay, I have 15 figures on 25mmm bases: how do I set them up so that all of the figures are no more than 2" from the hull? This is the best I can work out: FFFF FFFFF S BB S S AA S "F" are the ones in front of the Crusader. "B" are the ones between the tracks, in front of the assault ramp. "S" are the ones on the outer sides of the tracks. "AA" is the assault ramp. Is there a better way to do this? (I can see why measuring from the edge of the ramp of easier!) Thanks!

rat of vengence Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Don't forget, the base doesn't have to wholly be within 2", just part of it. That gives you a bit more room. I don't think you measure from the egde of the ramp, but from the hull. The lowered ramp is not hull. It is a ramp. :D RoV Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161951-disembarking-from-a-crusader/#findComment-1902504 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelmage99 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I agree with RoV. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161951-disembarking-from-a-crusader/#findComment-1902508 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffersonian000 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 I'm more than aware that you measure from the hull, I'm just trying to figure out how to fit 15-16 figures with 25mm bases so that they are all no more then 2" from one access point. A disgram would be much appreciated! SJ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161951-disembarking-from-a-crusader/#findComment-1903299 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiveFleetEzekial Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Well LR's and LRC's have more than just one access point. You also have the side hatches. With the 'terminator sized' bases, even side hatches modeled in the back slots allow for a base to overlap the range from side and front hatches. the coherency distance allows smaller based units to hit both hatches and still be coherent with each other. (I'm looking for it. was either here or on warseer. I know I posted in the thread, so I;m just going through my older posts) -edit- Heh.. was wrong. It was on 40konline... Anyways... (courtesy of 'sindarin'. Now, I've no idea how presice their measurements actually are. And measurements for sponsons weren't included. Os it's not as thurough as it could have been. But, it's a good rough idea, at the least.) (LR specifically) http://i447.photobucket.com/albums/qq198/Matthias_Verhagen/Example/Example3.jpg (any side hatches) http://i447.photobucket.com/albums/qq198/Matthias_Verhagen/Example/Example.jpg http://i447.photobucket.com/albums/qq198/Matthias_Verhagen/Example/Example2.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161951-disembarking-from-a-crusader/#findComment-1903316 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffersonian000 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Oh! I was under the impression that you had to choose one access point, not that all of the access points were available! Now that I look closer to the diagrams, I can see were I was limiting my options incorrectly. Thank you!

I thought you had to choose 1 access point as well...

I thought you had to choose 1 access point as well... So was I, when I started this thread. However, I just noticed in the picture on pg 67 of the BRB, that of the 5 marines disembarking from the Rhino, 3 are within the rear exit arc, 1 is within the left hand exit arc, and 1 is within both arcs. As such, the line that reads, "each model is deployed within 2" of one of the vehicle's access points" could be taken to mean that all access point are fair game for embark/disembark as long as unit cohesion is maintained. This doesn't really help my situation all that much, as I'm mounting my hurricane bolters on the front mounting points, which may put the back points too far away to be in coherency. Or not. I'm still planning on using the assault ramp access point for the deployment, I'm just trying to figure out were to put 15 figures when they do deploy! The diagrams above are an excellent help.

Steelmage99 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Interesting how this might also have impact on the Pinning Weapons discussion. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161951-disembarking-from-a-crusader/#findComment-1903720 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiveFleetEzekial Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 ...... What? How? (just PM me, to keep this thread clean, or from mincing topics. I just don't 'see' how pinning would have any bearing on this, or vice versa) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161951-disembarking-from-a-crusader/#findComment-1903773 Share on other sites More sharing options...
