Emperor's Furor Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Does anyone else really like the idea of it? what do you think it could do if they put it into the game? I imagine it would be like a 40k attack bike but as a skimmer variant, perhaps a melee platform as opposed to a gun platform like land speeders. http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130110051009/warhammer40k/images/2/20/JetbikeChariot00.png Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303085-blood-angels-chariot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Well, it'd probably be altered quite a bit to bring it in line with the 30k aesthetic FW has established. I'd imagine the chariot would be re-imagined as a 2-seater jetbike, with some kind of armoured cowling protecting the passenger's legs from the front. In terms of melee/ ranged, you could spin it either way - I think it'd be cool if the passenger could be equipped with one of the shoulder-mounted heavy weapons, which could be fired independently, so you coud have a squad of lascannon-equiped jetbikes effectively. On the other hand, giving the passenger some kind of lance / halberd would work.

depthcharge12 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The only problem would be, what weapon could you handle on there? I'd assume you wouldn't be able to use a heavy weapon because of unstable footing and speed. I'd also assume it would be hard to use special weapons like a plasma gun or melta on there a it seems you need a hand to hold on. It would be kinda silly to have a chariot that you can only reliably shoot a pistol or bolter out of when you can get something better in the form of a scimitar jetbike.

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 That's why I'd think it would be more like a modified 2 - seater jetbike, so the passenger would also be sitting down Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303085-blood-angels-chariot/#findComment-3941607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Ehh I prefer the chariot look and feel. You could at least wield a CCW. It would be nice if they got some sort of Necron chariot sweep rule where you could have the bike go over a unit and inflict attacks equal to the model's profile without retaliation. I know I'll get flamed for this, but I guess a good place to start would be to look at how the new Harlequin jet bikes look with the rider on the back.

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 This is similar to my thinking, except obviously bulkier, and the passenger would have a chariot-esque sheild: http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/567/island03.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303085-blood-angels-chariot/#findComment-3941645 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I guess, but there's no way you could do a jetbike-chariot without encroaching on the territory of Land Speeders in some way Either way, the weaponry & squad size would set them apart Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303085-blood-angels-chariot/#findComment-3941737 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Furor Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Wouldn't it look a little like a space marine vyper though? I think it'd be much cooler if the second marine was standing up.

Raktra Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 You could clamp the marine's legs in easy enough to make it standing. Blood Angels are whacky enough to do these things.
