Posted By CaptAnderton on 03/07/2006 1:36 PM Yep want to see all the awards I've gotten. I'm proud of the Best Army, Best Appearance and Best Sportsman. Anyone can get best over all. Done that also.
I would love to see 'em. Just make a little white CaptAnderton note card and seet in front of each award and post a picture of that. It won't make your contradictory and outright incorrect statements less entertaining but at least we can all see what kind of other illiterate fools you play with.

Perhaps you are assuming normal approx. 2" coherency and that every model touched is affected CaptAnderton. In that case the blast templates actually become less effective with the larger base models because it turns whole's into partial's.
mauleed pretty much summed up the flip sides of the coin. For every advantage there is a disadvantage. What usually ends up hurting large base models around here is forced disembarkation. Larger models have a harder time trying to stay 1" away from whatever melta'd, pfisted, or klawed their transport.

I pretty much blew his statement out of the water and his little minions run to save him. Sad really. The point I made on the blast is you still touch them. Ordance is the big guns and that gets the 5 man Termi squad easily when it deepstrikes in.
My points are all valid.

The guy is right about it being intended for the teleport homer............but you can't argue intent can you?
You can when you realise that the box actually includes five 40mm bases, but only a single sprue of four 25mm bases.

Less models under the template if you go bigger - Capt Disagrees
Capt is wrong. You get more full models under the template and that could give you more models to 'touch' depending on how close they are. More models in hth if you go bigger. - Capt Disagrees.
Capt is wrong. If you include the 2" kill zone you will find that the larger base will cover a larger radius giving you a larger killzone overall than a smaller base. Proof of this. Take 25 mm models and spread them 2 inches apart in a staight line, do the same with the 40mm models. Now place a flame template over them. You'll touch more smaller ones than larger ones
Capt is insane as he just stated above that he disagreed that the larger the base the fewer models under a template... please see the quote, again, here... Less models under the template if you go bigger - Capt Disagrees
And finally, the Capt speaks in the third person now. That is killing the DaIronGob... errr... I mean me.

LOL. You guys sure do jab pretty hard when it comes to the CPT.
On point, though, If anyone tells me I have to change my Death Wing to 40mm because of the new Termies, I have a nice vice with their name on it.
AND the shots picture is funny as *fudge*!!

The new bases for the IG heavy weapon teams are simply for ease of basing the models. Each individual weapons team can still be completely validly based into upto three separate parts: the ammo carrier, the gunner, and the weapon. Since the ammo carrier is technically a separate model, he only needs to remain in unit coherency with the gunner.
