bluntblade Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Another Mad Max viewing has left me wanting to write a "cavalry" action. So, what vehicles do we have that are suitable, barring jetbikes? So far I have Tauros (though I'm not sure they have Space Marine counterparts) although Daer'dd might have cooked up something suitable.

Grifftofer Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I vaguely recall there being a Predator AAV in the pre-FW days of the Tempus Fugitives Heresy project. There is also a transport version of the hover tank that I've been working on (that I have taken to calling the Jocasta pattern Grav Attack Tank). Probably no more transport than a Razorback for either of them as they also carry heavier weaponry than a rhino.

bluntblade Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Heavy weaponry would suit just fine. I should've asked about fast assault craft too, really.

Slips Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Bikes, Attack Bikes, Rhino Chassi'd Vehicles and Speeders of all sorts would be appropriate and break up any potential monotony.

bluntblade Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 With a longer lead-up to the Insurrection than the Heresy, are we likely to have a couple more armour mks?

That's an interesting point. Was Mk.4 the hodgepodge one?

bluntblade Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Nope, Mk4 was top-of-the-range. 5 was hodgepodge, and 6 was Corvus. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312522-rules-the-armoury/page/2/#findComment-4340711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigismund229 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 In the canonverse, the situation regarding armour was that limited amounts of termie armour were coming through but only enough ti equipe 1 company per legion(if that) or less while many legions had plenty of mkIV in service but mkIII wasn't an uncommon sight either. MkVI was just beginning to enter into service with the RG although most pre heresy mkVI were proto types with problems with the abdominal plating. The only "true" mkVI in service during the heresy was around 500 artificer made pre production suits nicked from Mars by the IF and then sent to the RG as a gift by Rogal Dorn. So in the BotL verse, the Halycon Wardens, Lightning Bearers and Stygian Jackals would probably have a few thousand suits of mkVI Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312522-rules-the-armoury/page/2/#findComment-4340717 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skalpynock Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 So in the BotL verse, the Halycon Wardens, Lightning Bearers and Stygian Jackals would probably have a few thousand suits of mkVI And then Turrus and Kelasor found some as well (though that is much later in the Insurrection).

So, given the lengthened timeline, our Mark 5 would be canonverse's Mark 6, since we had the time to develop a true successor to Mark 4.

bluntblade Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Surely many Legions would opt for a different type anyway? Those with an emphasis on heavy melee fighting, anyway Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312522-rules-the-armoury/page/2/#findComment-4340727 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikhalLeNoir Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Deja Vu? I think we had the talk somewhere before and said, that Mark 6 is Jackal Pattern or so and no new armor type developed.

bluntblade Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) I reckon diversification would only have increased as the Imperium grew. Are we still going with all power armour coming from Mars? BTW, looking again at Alex's portrait, I'd love to see a whole bunch of techno-hoplites. You're right Mikhael, but that was before we realised how much time passes between the Triumph and Insurrection. Edit: is there any official art for the Interex, Auretian Technocracy or similar? Further edit: to answer my own question, there isn't. Oh for some crayons and paper. Or some bored painters.
