Cypher 102 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Power field generator? Yes. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269528-does-that-forcefield-generator-thing-work-on-vehicles/#findComment-3282625 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Token Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Anyone know what it looks like? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269528-does-that-forcefield-generator-thing-work-on-vehicles/#findComment-3283007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upstartes Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 There doesn't seem to be any indication in the new codex as to what the device looks like.

Xeraxen Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 There doesn't seem to be any indication in the new codex as to what the device looks like. I think it's left up to your imagination, perhaps it takes the form of a shield, or one of those angel statues the veterans get in their kit [that way it can be put on the Techmarine's backpack.]? What I want to know is if it's effects work on a vehicle the Techie is embarked in, indeed does it spread it's radius from the hull of the vehicle like the sacred standards? I'm assuming yes.

Upstartes Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Based on the rulebook FAQ answer regarding the Ork Big Mek Kustom Force Field, i would think that it does work on the vehicle and does spread its effect from the hull.

GlauG Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Land Riader Crusader w. a 4+ invul bubble and salvo 2/4 hurricane bolters....ill take that. The heck with one, take three and have a Dark Talon hover behind to also benefit from the 4++ and Salvo 2/4 ;) A glorious way to spend 1,000 pts...

Polythemus Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 That is dirty. Im assuming belial in one with a squad, techmarine with command squad in another. But radiers are pretty wide, its gonna be tough to fit 3 abreast with terrain in the way. I do like the idea of a hovering flyer in the invul space benefitting from a banner and blinding enemies who are getting assaulted by termies and bikes. Now thats synergy.

There might be an argument that if they fail their dangerous terrain test they can get a 4++ save, but I wouldn't support it. Since the rule book says instantly immobilized. But still, dozer blades!

Brother Immolator Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I would shove the techmarine inside the LR with a command squad though. Then the buff for both the generator and the standard extend from the hull. Also the techie can repair from inside any missed weapons or hull points. And something for your brainstorming: What happens if we replace the generator with a displacer field? Does the techie teleport outside the vehicle?

Cactus Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 If a model with a displacer field is inside a transport vehicle he won't be required to make any invulnerable saves, so the displacer field won't trigger and he won't be teleported to anywhere.

Ok...So, you know that....Yes but..... Ok I concede. I am THAT stupid..... EDIT: Found it ha! Can it be used for perils of the warp akin to a GK staff? If it can and is inside the vehicle? Don't look at me with that mean look I am trying to save whats left of my pride here.

Polythemus Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I wanted to point something out with the regard to the PFG. It grants all units (enemy and friendly) a 4++ so it might not be as readily taken as we might expect, since if you can get inside the 3" radius youve nullified low ap weaponry. Food for thought.
