Raulmichile Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I don't see anywhere in the rulebook any rule that hinders superheavies' speed as there is one for heavy tanks. So is it correct that a Baneblade can travel more distance in his movement phase than a Leman Russ? If so it seems somewhat weird to me.

WarriorFish Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I don't think they can, but I can't quite remember and don't have my rulebook to hand being at work. I will check the rulebook next opportunity to confirm if someone else doesn't beat me to it :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302247-super-heavies-and-speed/#findComment-3925643 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chefzilla Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Super heavies can only move 6 inches but what sets them apart from regular battle tanks is that they can fire all weapons at BS.

WarriorFish Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Best if you can post page references Chef so people can quickly find it for themselves. Note that they're still better than Leman Russ tanks as they don't suffer from firing ordnance weaponry, along with each weapon individually targeting of course :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302247-super-heavies-and-speed/#findComment-3925809 Share on other sites More sharing options...
librisrouge Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Ill have to look it up but I could have sworn that superheroes move 12". EDIT: Yep, 12". They move like other vehicles and don't suffer penalties for doing so. No pg # because it's from the e-version but it's in the super heavy section.

WarriorFish Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I've checked the rules for SH vehicles, page 94, where it says only that SHs can never jink - so that's standard tank movement for them. You must be thinking of SH walkers libris who have their movement noted as 12" unless otherwise specified (page 96) :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302247-super-heavies-and-speed/#findComment-3925938 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 To clarify, that's normal movements for vehicles e.g. combat, cruising speed etc just in case my post wasn't clear :lol: So keep that Baneblade moving :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302247-super-heavies-and-speed/#findComment-3925957 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Yeah, we must assume the the greater size of the Baneblade means proportionally more room for a relatively more powerful engine :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302247-super-heavies-and-speed/#findComment-3926932 Share on other sites More sharing options...
librisrouge Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I didn't mean that their movement was noted as 12", just that they could move 12". Since they can shoot everything regardless of distance moved than it makes sense that they would essentially ignore combat or cruising speed and just go straight to 0"-12". Sorry if I was unclear.

WarriorFish Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 It happens, such is the nature of text communication on the Internet - we've both clarified what we meant so all's well as we have answered the question accurately :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302247-super-heavies-and-speed/#findComment-3927398 Share on other sites More sharing options...
