Below is a proposed unit for Apoc. I'm looking for two things:

1. Any glaring rules cloudiness/issues?

2. I'm curious to see what people would want to see the proposed Apocalypse datasheet creations pointed at.


"Grot-guided Krooze missile"

each one is in essence a grot piloted missile that carries a highly destructive payload.

* Grot-Guided Krooze Missiles enter play from reserve moving on from the table edge and move 36" a turn attempting to fly into btb w/ enemy vehicles/super-heavies/fortifications (bastions, bunkers, etc.). At the end of every move that a GGKM hasn't contacted a target roll 1d6: on a "1" the GGKM runs out of fuel and crashes (remove from play). GGCM can only target the above listed targets.

* If they "move into btb" with a target roll 1d6: a "1" means the GGKM was dud and is simply a STR 7 hit to represent the impact of the GGKM's cobbled-together bulk into the target; on a 2+ it's massive payload explodes: treat it as a destroyer hit. Either way the GGKM is removed from play after resolving

* TGGKM are flyers for purposes for all relevant purposes such as AA fire, etc.

* "Make Da' Explosion bigga!!!": if a target is hit by an exploding GGKM then any additional exploding GGKM that hit the same target in that same turn add +1 to their rolls on any damage tables.

1. NOT DESTROYER. Strength ten, maybe. The impact would be at S5.

2 MDEB: Does this rule stack, I.E Reaver hit by 2 GGKM, is it +1 or +2?

3. Give it 24 inch movement.

4 Make it a 10 inch blast.

5. I think there is a FW model and rules for this...

Seems like a great idea, mate!

Edit:

There are FW models and rules for something like this.

Still a great idea!

These are designed to fulfill a very specific role: anti-armour vs. superheavies

Thus the restriction that they may only target things with an armour value oe classified as super-heavy(the grot pilots have strict orders to target such things).

Thus they intentionally have no blast (designed to be destroyer equivalents of krak missiles).

the destroyer designation fits the theme and is balanced out by the fact that they are "one-shot' weapons and have a 1in 6 chance to be a dud every move that doesnt reach a target and/or impact on a target

They are going to be used to even out a game in which one side has a lot of superheavies and the ork side doesn't.

They are classified as flyers thus the 36" movement which is standard for flyers and makes sense for a missile streaking through the sky on an Apoc. size battlefield.


What i am lookig for is not a discussion of their specifics but what you as a player would expect a model with the presented stats to cost...

Hmm so a "Supa" Supa Rokkit? (Kustom Mega Rokkit!)

I do love me some D weapons

Exactly, but with a touch of orky unpredictability...

CT-

My apologies. I thought it was D blast. What a fool I am.

This looks fine, I thought it was blast. My apologies. Also, maybe you could give it something like the Tankbusta special rule, where it has to move towards the model with the highest structure points. That would be awesome!
