<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Rough Riders Question"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Rough Riders Question
My intention is to give most or all of them hunting lances. The rules state they can replace their laspistol or ccw with the lance. Does it make more sense to give them a ccw to use when the lance is gone or a pistol?

The rules say a guardsman not using a special weapon may take a vox caster, do lances count as special?

If I want to upgrade my sgt to a veteran, does the lance count as a one handed weapon choice?

As of right now I've built 5 with lances in the right hand and nothing in the left. If it doesn't effect the ability to take a lance I would like to have one with a vox caster. I wouldn't mind giving the veteran sgt either a plasma pistol or power weapon or some variety of bolter be it storm bolter or regular, I would definately like opnions on that. I haven't really put much consideration into special weapons, my intent is to use them offensively against infantry.

I would like to eventually make some smaller roughrider squads for tank hunting or swarm control later on so I'm not putting to much priority on special weapons for this current squad. Anyway, hope someone can offer some help. I should be posting pix of the work in progress pretty soon. Making roughriders out of the new cold one knights has been really easy so far. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217839/374523.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217839/374523.page GMT Re:Rough Riders Question you cant use a close combat weapon with it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217839/374918.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217839/374918.page GMT Rough Riders Question
Also, it makes more sense to give them a Pistol. A close combat weapon literally gives them no advantage over a Pistol, while a Pistol can be fired in the Shooting Phase (albeit to little effect).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217839/374923.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217839/374923.page GMT Re:Rough Riders Question ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217839/375236.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217839/375236.page GMT Rough Riders Question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217839/375255.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217839/375255.page GMT Re:Rough Riders Question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217839/375336.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217839/375336.page GMT Rough Riders Question
The 6 point Vet upgrade is worth it, in my eyes, only because of the extra Hunting Lance attack, and not for Armoury Access, or extra attacks in later turns. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217839/375352.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217839/375352.page GMT Re:Rough Riders Question

Does anybody have some valuable insight into this?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217839/375773.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217839/375773.page GMT Rough Riders Question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217839/377836.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217839/377836.page GMT Rough Riders Question

Not true. You can only use the Hunting Lance for one assault phase, but you can have multiple attacks. For instance, a unit of charging Rough Riders would have 2 Attacks each (1 base, +1 for charging).

As Hunting Lances are two-handed weapons, there is no way for Rough Riders with Hunting Lances to get the bonus attack for two single-handed weapons.

Also, I love the look of the Cold One Rough Riders. That's something I've been planning for a while, and they look fantastic.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217839/377845.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217839/377845.page GMT
