Only War RPG Rogal Dorn Tank

[Karack Blackstone]

Hello group, how are you doing?

 

My post is as per the title, how might you, dear reader, come up with the Rogal Dorn Tank for the Only War RPG?

 

My hope is to see what it could look like, as the RPG predates the Tank kit and its rules, thus it wasn't an option yet.

 

Still, please, weigh in and see what you think! I'm curious as to what it might look like, especially since it's pretty clearly a solid tank, just, how to make it balanced is the question.

 

Thanks for looking in advance, and please, let's see if we can make a fully functional and fun to play Rogal Dorn Tank!

 

My initial takeaway for the tank is halfway between a Leman Russ and a Baneblade, however, that's often easier said than done!

Welcome to the Nook! 
 

I’m afraid Only War happens to be the only game in the FFG 40K range I’ve never played and so I can’t offer anything on the crunch / rule side.

 

But I agree that there are several interesting things which appeared in the lore after FFG stopped the Range that I’d love to see adapted to use in an RPG and I’m always in support of people who are enthusiastic enough to put the work in !

 

So thank you for sharing and I am looking forward to see more in our little part of the woods!

Appreciate you reposting here, Karack, and as Xin says, I know you're an old hand, but welcome to the new shed. 

 

I agree. I think the half-way house is the best way to go, although someone might have to do some mathhammer to balance out the books between BB and LR. I take it this is going to be for a tank crew, or the players are all going to fill the roles in a tank regiment?
