a few days ago i started thinking how would an isa ig army would work (isa, the good guys in killzone the ps game series)

so ive made a test model to try out the idea.

heres the pre painted test model,

its basicly a chimera with 2 heavy bolter's that flys

amour 12 front, 10 side and back

carries 12 models

the models are placed on top, i was thinking that the models treat the vehicle as open topped, but when firing at the vehicle, like when firing against artillery, after rolling to hit and before rolling to pen, you roll to see if which shots you resolve against the models on-top and the vehicle say 5 or 6 against models, 1,2,3 and 4 against the intruder, when no models on top all shots are resolved against the intruder.

its at 55 pts, i'm thinking that the models on top can't shoot when its moving as there clinging on for dear life, and im not sure if it should have turbo boost

what an intruder should look like http://images.wikia.com/killzone/images/7/79/Intruder_KZ2_ConceptArt_environment7.jpg

Uh, the Intruder was faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar less armored than a Chimera.

Hell, it has less armor than a Valkyrie or even a Devilfish APC.

its not less armoured than a chimera, same armour, 12,10,10 bs3
same armament muit las and hb, or 2 hb

only diffrence is the the models in side can't shoot and they can be shot at.

any one think the rules are ok, and should i add turbo boost to it to make up for the modles being shot at and that they cant shoot either? or would that make it a bit ott

No, you're missing what I'm saying.


The Intruder, in no bloody way, should have armour anywhere near the Chimera APC.

At best, it should be the same level of armor as a Land Speeder, which is 10s all around.

yea, i think 10's all round would make it closer to the game, but for 40k purposes, i think its easier to have it as a 'this represents a chimera with a bit of a difference', i like the idea of makeing new rules for it and all, but then it starts getting annoying when it comes to gaming
