Which is one of the larger failings of this game.

@ HBMC : Meh.

It would be nice, but either the fluff would have to be horribly unrealistic, or the game would have to be horribly over complex and unwilling to be played. Isn't it unwilling enough as it is?

**aka_mythos**

It would be cool to have a more expanded rule set to the movie marine article, cover all the races to that ridiculous degree.

If GW did things like that, WD might even be worth buying again...

wait, are we hating on fluff now?

Darn, I just read some that made the multi-laser bigger than the lascannon and autocannon.
A fire support team requires a special unmanned vehicle to mount a multi-las (like a SM thunderfire cannon) called a rapier, because it's too big for two men to carry, meaning that a chimera has every right to mount any weapon a sentinel can.

**aka_mythos**

Rapier doesn't use a multi-laser. Rapier uses a weapon that is in between a multi-laser and a lascannon, that is configured into a 4 barreled setup to allow it to have a better rate of fire.

What? I fail again? Lame...

Still, it'd be cool to see more options for the chimera. An autocannon or lascannon isn't that much to ask for? Is it not?

**H.B.M.C.**

A Rapier is half-way to a Laser Destroyer. It's not quite a Laser Destroyer, but it's better than a Lascannon. It's an in between weapon in the same way the Plasma Destroyer is half-way between a Plasma Cannon and Plasma Blast Gun, rather than an offshoot weapon like the Hellgun and the Multi-Laser.
