Dragonlover Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 ... where every unit in your codex has access to all the wargear in your codex, limited only by rule of cool and assuming that your opponent can take a 100% veto against anything too egregious if they want to (e.g battlecannons on guardsmen), what units do you build? Personally it'd be the following: Land Raider with ectoplasma cannons Raptors with heavy weapons Also obligatory bike/terminator/jump pack versions of characters that don't currently have those options I imagine there's probably playgroups out there doing this kind of stuff already, if you're in one of them please share!

Panzer Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Everything with Rail weaponry for my T'au. And I mean EVERYTHING. Quad Railrifle Commander? HRR Commander? Railrifle Firewarriors? Railrifle Drones? Railgun Riptides? Railrifle Piranhas? So many possibilities! :D Also proper melee weapons for Reivers and a melee weapon for every Bike in a Bike unit. Also shields for bikes. Why yes I want them to be classic cavalry. :P Dosjetka and Trevak Dal 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/361066-in-a-hypothetical-future/#findComment-5457347 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noserenda Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Tbf id like to see most tanks have a broader selection of options for things like Sponsons and generic turret heavy weapons to encourage kit bashing. Same for characters tbh, especially the poor Primaris! Though in both cases that means getting the points values right so you dont get no brainer choices. So like for example the 30k Legion Predator or Centurion/Consul is a good example and the Praetor a bad one because while the latter has loads of options most of them are in the shadow of the Paragon blade cookie cutter.

apologist Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I'd love extended options to customise Guard infantry: Armour: Flak-vests, flak armour and carapace armour options – 6+, 5+ and 4+ respectively; Basic weapons: lasguns, laslocks, autoguns, shotguns, laspistols and blades. Sergeant to have option to carry the same basic weapon as the squad. Heavy/special weapon options extended to include hotshot volley guns and heavy stubbers. Option to mount on horses, or be accompanied by dogs/cherubs etc. Veterans to be able to mix and match these options within the squad.

No Foes Remain Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I'd love more options for tanks, mainly land raiders. They hyped a lot in the first Chapter Approved but if you could opt out of giving it sponsons and just have a hull mounted assault cannon or heavy bolter and give it 15/16 transport capacity since the crusader has 12(?). And I agree with Apologist, giving armies the option to have the same weapon as their squad would be great.

Magos Takatus Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I think I'd strip out the Heavy Stubbers in my army and replace them with Radium weapons or Phosphor weapons. Anything to make my Adeptus Mechanicus weapons a little less mundane.

toaae Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Oh, Shokk Attack Guns everywhere. My first thought is just on the Mek Gun platform. But you could put it everywhere, on everything that can hold a heavier weapon! The single best gun Orks have, EVERYWHERE!!!! But this lead me to thinking how Battlewagons (and especially Gunwagons) don't have a good main gun. Other than a SAG, giving it access to the Kustom Mega-Zappa (3d3, S8, -3, d6) would actually open up room for a heavy, ranged vehicle. Or the Deffstorm Mega-Shoota (18, S6, -1, 1) as a separate option. These are the main guns from the Morkanaut and Gorkanaut, respectively, and are appropriately killy for the main gun of a heavy tank.Gameplay wise, I wish Big Shootas (3, S5, -, 1) could be replaced army-wide with Suppa Shootas (3, S6, -1, 1), just because there's enough 3+ saves in cover to make Big Shootas super underwhelming. And maybe Deffguns (d3, S7, -1, 2) as options for Battlewagons as the secondary guns.Oh, and killsaws for the boss nob in boyz units as well as Warbosses! Power Klaws are super underwhelming everytime you roll that 1 on the damage, so the flat damage 2 would be so much more enjoyable. And finally, mega-armor and bike options for most characters. They are status symbols, to a species that cares more about status symbols than practicality. Every ork would be trying to acquire such wargear.
