77. When you tell jokes about how many inquisitors it takes to screw in a light bulb...
the answer is 3, one to screw it in, one to brand it as heresy, and one to deny its existence... I've had people (notice, people is plural) tell me this joke... It's not even that funny!!!, argh.. I'm gonna go bang my head against a wall.

82. You wonder what the AP value of Depleted Uranium is
83. You try to calculate how many megatons (probably teratons in this case) a Cyclonic Torpedo is
84. You try and figure out the exact weight and mass of a Space Marine in full armor.
85. You attempt to determine what the real world equivalent of Ceramite is. (it's not how hard the armor is, it's how well it keeps the occupant free of chunky salsa syndrome aka impact shock)

Done.
GRANNY ON SCOOTER 18 pts/model
WS 2 / BS 3 /S 2(4) / T 2(3) / W 1 / I 2 / A 1 / Ld 10 / Sv 5+ -
Unit Type: Bike Wargear: Bosspole, Power Klaw, Pacemaker (Bionics)
Special Rules:
0.5 Horsepower: If Granny has been moving 12" in a straight line for two consecutive turns, she has the 'Furious Charge' special rule. Granny's scooter always moves at least one inch through difficult/dangerous terrain, instead of being removed as a caualty.
Senile: Roll a D6 before any movement or assault phase in which you intend to move Granny. On a 2+ she acts normally; on a 1 she begins to rant and rave in a distubing fashion. Granny will not move when Ranting and Raving, unless she moved 12" in a straight line last round, in which case she will automatically move forward another 12". If this brings Granny into contact with an opponent's model, consider Granny to have charged.
