SW1 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I've not absorbed enough information regarding the weapons to make any sense of the love of Volkite weapons yet. Are they THAT good? What role will the Land Speeders take toting them?

Marshal Rohr Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 They have fun rules. Who cares if it's effective? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290237-how-to-use-legion-land-speeders-squadrons/page/2/#findComment-3669429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 They have fun rules. Who cares if it's effective? Exactly. They are little more than glorified heavy bolters that cause extra wounds, but man they are fun!

Kol Saresk Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 They'd end up being anti-infantry. It's more for the rule of cool than anything else.

Tiger9gamer Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 So in effect you can have a squadron with all Graviton hunting down tanks with haywire and multi-melta? thats sweet!

BassWave Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 They have fun rules. Who cares if it's effective? Exactly. They are little more than glorified heavy bolters that cause extra wounds, but man they are fun! Culverins are strength 6. Quite a bit better than HBs. Also, being able to bring them on speeders is excellent news! I had no idea I could take graviton guns on speeders. Sounds tasty Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290237-how-to-use-legion-land-speeders-squadrons/page/2/#findComment-3669573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I think a Culverin is what? 45 inch range, S6 with AP5 with Deflagrate and Heavy 4? Now that I think about it, it might just be more than the rule of cool.

Anvilarium Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I think a Culverin is what? 45 inch range, S6 with AP5 with Deflagrate and Heavy 4? Now that I think about it, it might just be more than the rule of cool. The updated Landspeeder options are: Any Landspeeder (in the Squadron) may replace it's standard armament (1 x Heavy Bolter) for one of the following: Heavy Flamer Multi-Melta Volkite Culverin - The upgrade costs the same as the Multi-Melta upgrade. Any Landspeeder (in the Squadron) may be upgraded with one of the following: Havoc Launcher Heavy Bolter Plasma Cannon Graviton Gun Any Landspeeder (in the Squadron) may take: Up to two Hunter-killer missiles I had no idea I could take graviton guns on speeders. Sounds tasty I'm hoping that they will indeed be tasty when combined with Multi-meltas!

Rejects of Anvilus Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Just to chime in with the idea of converting the pilots from the plastic kits here are two images of what I have done. I cut the outer leg on each side off and trimmed the seat bit down enough so that i could glue a spare MKII or MKIII leg in place. Once you add the body and the arms, it looks OK. I didn't bother doing the inner legs as the support and console cover if from all but the most detailed of looks. This was done several years ago before they brought out new Landspeeder, and at some point I need to update the weapon options to be 30k compliant. this will involve swapping the heavy flamer for a graviton gun, because as Urza says that should be tasty.

Anvilarium Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 They look great Spinitron! I hope that mine come out looking that good! I'm planning mine the other way around - the Graviton Guns are going to be fired by the co-pilot, and the Multi-meltas are going to be mounted under the nose.

Rejects of Anvilus Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Cheers Urza, having seen the rest of your stuff I'm certain that yours will come out looking excellent! If I was starting from scratch I might well do it your way with the melta underneath, and the gunner standing in his seat firing the graviton gun.
