chaplain belisarius Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Probably a stupid question but can terminators run? sorry for the daft question... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thade Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Sure they can. They're infantry; infantry can forgo shooting to run. Easy. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thade Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 yay! sorry for the stupid question...:) Are you kidding? Easy questions are nice. I like the questions that don't take four+ pages to settle. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplain belisarius Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 or massive irrestible force meets immovable object debates that go on for 5 pages before getting meltad? :) had a bit of a blonde moment i guess-just written an assignment so brains a bit overheated! thanks for the reply! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacinda Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 They may not be fast enough to do a sweeping advance, but they can waddle real quick instead of shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thade Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 They may not be fast enough to do a sweeping advance, but they can waddle real quick instead of shooting. Recall that (per the BRB) models during the movement phase all move at 6" regardless of their flat-out on-a-track foot speed, to reflect their moving cautiously, checking around corners, etc. (Recall that they lack our own "god-like vision of the battlefield".) Running represents them throwing caution to the wind and committing more to moving (but they're still keeping their heads down). A Sweeping Advance involves much faster movement than simply a committed march, as the enemies fleeing is no longer "keeping their heads down"; they're flat out running for their lives. (And really, can you blame them?) I would say that Terminators can pick up a brisk pace, even jog...but they cannot sprint. :P A brother-marine in Power Armor would win a race against them any day.

Commander S. Caesare Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I understand where you're probably gettin' this. Yeah, Termies are the walking tanks. But, they still can run and charge and beat and slash and go nuts. Their armor maybe heavy, but damn, they can run. Except, i have a follow-up question. CAN THEY JUMP?

thade Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I take it back. I bet a Terminator can run REALLY FAST...but it probably has some criminally slow acceleration; hence the lack of Sweep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elric the Silvercoat Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Here is a better question can a terminator get back up if it trips or falls off a building etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmytool Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Here is a better question can a terminator get back up if it trips or falls off a building etc? of course but it might take awhile to get out of the crater it made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Wilhelm Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Here is a better question can a terminator get back up if it trips or falls off a building etc? I think they need the Ogre Gut plates on both the front and back of them so in case it happens, they can keep rolling and come back up on their feet. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 better question- if a terminator falls over, do the scouts snigger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elric the Silvercoat Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 better question- if a terminator falls over, do the scouts snigger? I would but then again I am not near a terminator that falls over so I maybe safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chengar Qordath Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Funny side note; in the Deathwatch RPG, Terminators can't run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Fun's over. Keep it on track. Set some questionable posts that have no place on the B&C to invisible. But to save any more inane posts.... If anyone has a burning desire to add something really insightful to this topic, then PM an +OR+ mod and we'll consider reopening.
