i wanted actually to use your name as a scout sgt but I think there's an IG character with that name already. And Vash go the librarian role bc of his comprehensive RG fluff article. Have no fear there's a unique LotD that may be showing up and I have names that haven been placed yet. I liked your name enough for it to be on my list. And it's a ver short list.

*snif* I dont get a role =(

heh, no role for me (although trying to sneak jaspercation into a name is a little hard

)

It looks good lots of counts as characters, but theres not much you can do to stop that....

unless you make your own codex....

:roll:

I shall say no more

on that note since some of you have looked at the list, while the rules for some of the Uniques are in limbo, for load outs on the command squads and honor guards, sgts, etc....how standard should LC's be? i don't want to overkill it and you do lose a bit with out Pwr Fists and TH's. I tried to make it balanced with a high number of LC's but should it be more a company trait or chapter? and what are the alternatives?

White Raven CleanRabbit · **Posted:** Fri Oct 09, 2009 12:36 pm

Mathhammer will always argue with fluff when it comes to weapon load-outs, so you've got to either strike a balance, or go all or nothing either way.

IMO, weapon preferences are squad-based (even character based) and would generally follow the typical pattern for how you would select weapons for that squad - fighting vehicles would require fists and hammers, while fighting hordes would require LC's and PW's.

For a fluffy army list, balance between fists and LC's, with a few PW's and hammers thrown in for good measure - that way you're not boasting 'all LC's' in any circumstance, and you'll always have at least one weapon to deal with those troublesome enemy units that crop up.

Mathhammer-wise, LC's do more damage on average than PW's, while Fists are more cost effective against almost all targets than hammers, basically...

that track with the bridge on top looks quite abit like a rhino (or an M113 like us yanks have).. and i have driven our american version, the ACE (the bridge layer, mine didnt have the bridge on it

)

Mathias · **Posted:** Fri Oct 09, 2009 10:10 pm

the one with bridge is the Titan avlb (amoured vehicle launched bridge) and the other one is a Trojan avre (armoured vehicle royal engineers). I some times wonder if its just brit tanks that sound like condom brands.

lol...the "driving through france" comment was a throw to the Old late 90's show SPaced by Simon Pegg, it's british, one of the characters was in the royal rangers and did just that. As for the names...yeah, sorry about that mate but it's totally condom names. The Titan\ American Bridge layer is one of my conversions for my army interestingly enough. I'm going to build it off a Rhino Chassis. the Rhino sprues actually gave me the idea....

As to the LC"s issue, i feel that in 3rd company it's kind of a standard thing, All my assault squad sgts have them. For first company since the captain is a TH guy, there's a mix of both in the assault termie squads. For Corax's squad...haven't decided yet, i like the Relic blade LC idea i was given.

On that not, i've obviously "counted as is" characters with small switches to abilities here and there to make it work for fluff. My goal is not to write an entire Codex, though i could do that if everyone really wanted me to as i've been creating characters and games for years and have a lot of fun doing it. Now that being said, Should i be using the Primarch Corax as my Chapter Master, and deal with making rules for a Primarch that can only be used in APOC, should i keep him and beef him up and then make the current RG Chapter master as well, or just change who i have listed as Corax to a chapter master with some small tweaks for rules?

Thanks guys for all teh help and i plan to have pics up today for some of the army finally, it was my birthday over the weekend and was busy...

The chapter master should command the chapter whilst the primarch commands the legion.
