Chief Captain Redd Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I was curious on what everyone thought about variations on our vehicles because of circumstance, like should we have new variants not legion specific, just in general? For example I love the Land Raider Ares, but for us, what if we had the Ares because of part of the Treaty with Mars or Daer'dd's demiurge treaty with Mars. And instead it was a bit more fitting like twinlinked Plasma cannons or Volkite Culvernins for the sponsons prototype assault cannons up top. And then a Nova pattern Ares with no transport and the thunderer cannon. I'm not saying we should list all the ideas here. Just what the general consensus on having more variants because of it being a very different series of events.

Slips Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I'd rather not, but it could be done. However, it would have to be done carefully, selectively and with everyone in agreement over whats being added. We can't really be like "We've got Storm Ravens Now!" since, it can be reasoned/deduced, that it was created due to the Storm Eagles STC having been lost at some point. There would be no reason to have it. In the same vein, we can't be like "We've got Centuiron Suits!". Why? We've got Castellax and Terminators who can fulfill the role, aesthetics aside (I've kinda warmed up to them over the years...Name still sucks) The Land Raider Ares would also be a bit hard to justify since the have the Typhon. What role would it serve in our armies if, when we need a bigger Vindicator, we've got the Typhon for that job? Patterns like the Prometheus (its essentially a Proteus), Redeemer and Helios would make sense to have. Prometheus: While essentially a Weaker Proteus in terms of Firepower, it could be used as a Forward Recon Assault Vehicle / infantry Mulcher a role which the Proteus cannot fulfill. Redeemer: Siege/Trench Work Assault Vehicle (Sure, the Spartan does it but it can't clear Hordes) for Assault Squad Delivery. 12 Slots mean you can have 10man + 2HQ or 5 Termies + HQ. Helios: Armament is admittedly meh, but, hey, its tougher than a Normal Whirlwind and has more guns. I'm more inclined to permit everyone to create a Single Legion-Specific Vehicle for their Own Use (Much like how I made the Phaeton -- Which Is also a Jump Pack Pattern in the Cannon, apparently). That way we keep our pool of basic units similar and at a size we're all comfortable/familiar with so that we dont have to suddenly memorize 10+ new vehicles for use in our Heresy/Insurrection only.

Big Bad Squig Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Might I suggest either lowering the strength of the anti infantry, or changing the anti tank to ordinance, as as it stands there is little use for the anti tank apart from AP 1. Space wolf helfrost weapons operate in a similar way: str 6 AP 3 blast or str 8 AP 1, for example Edited August 30, 2015 by Big Bad Squig Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313034-insurrection-variants/#findComment-4159143 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slips Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Also, as a more general Guideline, try to avoid Ap1 on Anti-Tank Weaponry unless you specialize them (Primary Weapon/Ordnance) whilst also having a Lower Rate of Fire unless you make it a gimmick like the SoB Exorcist with D6 Shots. For Anti-Infantry Weaponry, limit Ap1-3. The Vast Majority of the infantry in the game system does not have 3+ Saves. Its mostly 4+ or Worse. Also, Anti-Infantry weapons are rarely S8+ If you want a more dual-purpose weapon, average S value will be 6-7 with S8 being a bit rarer with Ap being 3-4 with a middling number of Shots (2-5). Example (not singling you out AO108), The S9 Ap1 Heavy 3 Missiles on your tank, while short range have a ton of Firepower with no real downside to them compared to the LasVindicator who can also have 3 S9 Ap1 Shots but pays for it with Ordnance, Being Unable to Move and Pseudo Gets Hot!. Double the Range, sure, but its not moving and shooting every turn and popping tanks left and right like yours will. The S6 on the Missiles is Fine. The Ap3, however, is a bit iffy. At this point, its not really anti-Infantry, its anti-MEQ. In General, A-Inf Weapons have an Ap of 4 or worse since Power Armor is supposed to be the second best thing at keeping you alive, behind Artificer/Terminator Armor. That, and the Infantry these weapons would have originally been created to combat, namely Xenos and Non-Astartes Humans, did not have Armies equipped with Power Armor. Ap3 Weapons are usually a Middle-of-the-Road compromise between Anti-Tank and Anti-Infantry usually being S8 Ap3 (Krakk). Ie: it can tackle light-medium armor pretty well and maybe even do something to heavy armor given the chance while also being able to tackle Tank Armored Infantry (Power Armor) but unable to Crack 2+ saves. Since you have Both Types of warheads in the Vehicles arsenal, you need to make both options specialized at their role, Ex: Anti-Tank 'Melta' Missile: S8/9 Ap1, Ordnance 1/3 or Heavy 1/2 + Armorbane Anti-Infantry 'Frag' Missile: S5/6 Ap 5/4, Heavy 3/5, Blast, Pinning. Also, 24" Missiles dont make much sense since they're, on average, 36"+ (I'd even wager 48"+) With these two types of warheads, you now have a clear distinction between roles instead of being: I'll just shoot my 3 S9 Ap1 Missiles every chance I get unless its a nicely packed Horde since they have a higher guarantee at doing damage, Denying All armor Saves & FNP while having the same # of Shots. Sure, there are examples that dont really follow these more 'general guidelines' like the Deredeos Aiolos Missile Launcher being 60" S6 Ap3 Heavy 3 Pinning but, you end up paying 200+ Points for the platform and can only really have a maximum of 3 in a single FoC. The other being the Lightnings Kraken Penetrator Missile being 36" S8 Ap1, Heavy 1, Armorbane, One Use Only; the limiting factor for this being: Fragile Delivery Method, Limited Number of Shot (6 maximum on a single Lightning) while also paying upwards of 200 points for a Lightning Equipped as Such. At 145 Points for your tank, its beyond "good" its almost a must-have even if its firepower is Short Ranged since it can Move 6" and still fire without penalty meaning its real Threat-Range is 30".

Slips Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Seems Fair. Maybe Squadron it (1-5) if taken as a Fast Attack Choice and a Dedicated Transport for, say, Recon/Seeker Marines with a forced Transport Bay Upgrade? Also consider giving it something a bit more special that plays on your Legions Flavor since it is a Pattern of Landspeeder Specific to them. As it stands, while its not bad, it feels a bit Bland http://image.bolterandchainsword.com//public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.png Y'know, somma Dat Legion Bling Bling, Homie! Gotta Pimp Dat Ride! http://image.bolterandchainsword.com//public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.png +++ Heres mine (that I've posted elsewhere) Hidden Content Phaeton-Pattern Storm Eagle 285ptsBS F S R HP 4 12 13 12 4Unit Composition: One Phaeton-Pattern Storm EagleUnit Type: Vehicle (Flyer, Hover, Transport)Access Points:+ The Phaeton-Pattern Storm Eagle has Three Access points: One running the Length of the Side Hull on each side and One Underneath. Think Star Wars LAAT (google it) but more Grim Dark and Legion-y...and Storm Eagle-y. Special Rules:-Deepstrike-Assault Vehicle-Independent Turret Fire-Machine Spirit-Reinforced Structure + Confers a 5+ Invulnerable Save -Rapid Insertion + This Rule acts like the Storm Ravens "Skies of Fury" Special rule with the following changes: + The Models Scatter 1D6 instead of the Normal 2D6. Jump/Jet Pack Equipped Units do not Scatter, Terminator Armor Equpped Units may not perform this action. + May be Performed even if the Phaeton-Pattern Storm Eagle is Zooming. However, the unit scatters 2D6 (1D6 for Jump/Jet Pack Equipped Modes/Units) and may not Move, Run or Assault the turn they arrive if they are deployed in this manner. Terminator Armor Equipped Units may not Perform this action. Wargear:-Two Wing-Mounted Twin-Linked Lascannons-Two Turret-Mounted Twin-Linked Dual Volkite Culverins (One Nose/Front Mounted, One Rear Mounted)-Extra Armor-Armored CeramiteTransport Capacity: + The Phaeton-Pattern Storm Eagle has a Transport Capacity for 22 Models and may Carry Jump/Jet Pack Equipped Models so long as they follow the Normal Rules for Transporting Models with the 'Bulky' Special Rule. Options:-The Phaeton-Pattern Storm Eagle may purchase the following upgrades: + Ram-Jet Diffraction Grid +25pts + Flare Shield (Active in Hover Mode Only) +25pts + Chaff Launcher +15pts + A Single Depth Charge +75pts -A Depth Charge has the following Profile: + Range: --, Strength: 10, Ap1, Bomb, One Use, Armorbane, Large Blast (7"), Massive Massive: A Bomb Weapon with this Special Rule taken as an Upgrade for a Vehicle has its Transport Capacity reduced by Half until it has been Fired. Now, Some Justifications as to why its geared the way it is. Its meant to go in fast, drop units in enemy lines and/or pick up friendlies in enemy turf. Since the Sides of the Storm Eagle are the largest, most exposed part, it makes sense for them to be up-armored especially since this versions doors run +/- the entire length of the craft. Hence the Side Armor 13, Armored Ceramite (its also void-capable) and Reinforced Structure and Extra Armor(has to withstand the crushing Depths of Iona) All its weapons are Laser/Energy Based: Bullets/missiles aren't the best thing to shoot when underwater or in space since they have to cross distances at not-lightspeed, something lasers/energy weapons do. Access Points: Self Explanatory with the 'Different' thing being the Bottom/Floor Hatch. Facilitates Air-Drops as well as permitting Troops to disembark the craft while underwater without flooding the cabin by using equalized Pressure. Mostly there for Flavor. Front and Rear Turret: Since this craft is made to be used deep in enemy lines, having an independent turret at the front frees up the Pilot to concentrate on flying while also being able to aim below his vantage point to clear landing zones on entry. Same thing for the Rear Turret but to cover the escape of the Vehicle when it leaves Hostile Territory and to cover a blind-spot most flyers have. Ramjet Diffraction Grid: Its a Flareshield for the Butt of an Aircraft. Makes sense for one that rushes headlong into enemy lines, picks some peeps up and then turns around and gets outta there, exposing its rear to them on the way out to have it. Flare Shield Only in Hover: Again, Makes sense for it to have it (though in a limited capacity) due to the role it has. Chaff Launcher: Most aircraft should have this in some form especially if they get shot at by missiles on a consistent basis http://image.bolterandchainsword.com//public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.png Depth Charge: Mostly a wink to a fellow Frater but, upon consideration, could be made to work since they could be reasonably expected to deploy these mines underwater....or drop them on top of Land Based Units. That Said, to balance it out, I made it have rather 'Limited' Firepower: 16 TL Culverin Shots (8 front, 8 rear) Threatening Infantry and Av12 at most and 2 TL Lascannon Shots for some punch, mostly to fight off other aircraft or pop a tank thats close to their Hot LZ. All this does make it end up costing a Ton, 285, Before Upgrades, Essentially being a Flying Spartan http://image.bolterandchainsword.com//public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.png Edited August 30, 2015 by Slipstreams Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313034-insurrection-variants/#findComment-4159208 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigismund229 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 The aiolos missile array is built into the nose of the aircraft, the twin linked plasma cannon is located just in front of the cockpit, the kheres are on the underside of the wings, as are two of the plasma cannons. Hevy bolter sponsons on the sode and then the door mounted heavy bolter is located on the roof of the passenger compartement.

Slips Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 What else does the aircraft have? Also remember vehicular limits to the amount of weapons you can fire. Since nothing is independent and all tied to the same vehicle for shooting purposes, the moment you snapfire, those plasma cannons are dead weight since theyre template weapons and would be unable to shoot. Youre better off Pearing Down and making it solid rather than strapping as many guns as you physically can to an Airframe, imo. Also, where along the fuselage is the cockpit located? Does it look more like a Caestus Assault Ram or Storm Eagle? Since if its the latter type deal, the Nose of the Aircraft (where the missiles are) is also the front of the cockpit (where 1 of 3 plasma cannons are) meaning youd have, really, no room for a front ramp if thats the case since itd be : missiles at the tip with plasma cannons over/under it just ahead of the cockpit. Additionally, how big is this thing? If you dont mind me changing things up a bit consider: Fire Raptor Frame: -swap Avenger Bolt Cannon for Two Twin-Linked Plasma Cannons in the socket (cant shoot this at other flyers) -Top-Rear Hull mounted Aiolos Missile Array -Two wing mounted Twin-linked Kheres Assault cannons, one on each wing (where the missiles/lascannons would go -Single, Twin-Linked Plasma Cannon mounted Above Rear Exit Ramp -One Turret Mounted Twin-Linked Heavy Bolter found on the Underside -Three Access points: one rear, one on each side. Still has all the weapons youve listed. Unless you were going for a Completely Different Airframe, this is what made the most sense in my mind as to the Layout of Weapons on such a craft. As to the points cost of the Upgrades: especially on a flyer, a Lascannon is much more valuable than a Plasma Cannon since the former can be shot at other non-hovering flyers. Id also possibly shy away from Flyer Squadrons, especially if they transport, since if one goes into hover, theyd all have to and with how big their footprint can potentially be, you could find yourself under some nasty templates and/or suffer the consequences of Squadroned Vehicles such as only one getting shot at but dealing enough hullpoint damage to kill them all.

Demus Ragnok Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 When I began my legion fluff some time ago I had them using Castellan Assault Landers(or something like that). They were mentioned in the second Dark Angels HH novel, but I've never seen them mentioned elsewhere. How I would make them different from Stormbirds I have no idea. Another legion specific idea I had were heavy siege guns designed by the primarch. I've settled on the name Magganon.

Chief Captain Redd Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Alright I can see us going that route. I just was thinking of possibilities like the Achilles being developed by Dorn and used by everybody. But actually long those lines I've a few ideas. Land Raider Mauler: Based on the Achilles chassis of up armoured Land Raiders, the Mauler removes the heavy quadmorter cannon for a twin linked small prototype Assault Cannon being developed on Terra. Allowing for greater trasport capacity and a heavy close range anti infantry platform.

Options: May exchange twin linked Volkite Culverins for Twin Linked Multi Meltas for free, or twin linked Plasma Cannons for +10 points May take a siege shield for +10 points Land Raider Mauler Nova: Replacing the transport capacity of the Mauler for Thunderer/Demolisher cannon, the Mauler Nova brings in heavy fire support and siege capacity in arenas where greater armour is needed than the Vindicators, and there is not enough operation room for a Typhon siege tank. In this capacity it has served the Iron Bears flawlessly.
