thade Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Okay. I admit I've more or less ignored this for a long while now as it's never appeared on anything I've wanted to use in my army as an option...but now it does. What on earth is a Tornado-pattern Multi-melta, Flamer, etc ? It's listed as an option for a Land Speeder (BA codex) and I in fact have a land speeder with a MM that I used to field on occasion using the vanilla dex.

waaanial00 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Tornado is just a funky way of saying that the Landspeeder has 2 weapons. So it is a standard speeder with a MM that has been upgraded to a Tornado with a Heavy Flamer. It used to be a bigger destinction in the old codex when Landspeeder weapons were a little more rigid (was only ever MM/HF or HB/AC If I Remember Correctly) Wan Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200887-tornado-pattern/#findComment-2393223 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawk Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 To expand, there are five kinds of Landspeeder and these are their distinctions: - Landspeeder (utility): one weapon - Landspeeder Tornado: two weapons - Landspeeder Typhoon: one weapon and typhoon launcher - Landspeeder Storm: scout speeder - Landspeeder Tempest: heavy attack landspeeder A Tornado, as said, is simply a Landspeeder with a secondary underslung weapon.

thade Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 What classifies it as a Tempest? More than one heavy weapon? I don't have my C:SM on hand but don't recall it either.

Koremu Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 What classifies it as a Tempest? More than one heavy weapon? I don't have my C:SM on hand but don't recall it either. The Tempest is the forge world version. It has a fully enclosed cockpit and full flight wings, meaning that it can operate as a conventional flyer as well as a ground attack skimmer.

stinkenheim Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 iirc the tempest had an assault cannon and missle launcher as its armaments. it was also a single seater land speeder with the gunners duties being given over to slaved targetters. it also had a slightly higher armour value (11 i think). it was originally developed by the White Scars as a mobile heavy weapon platform i think.
