<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Hitting on a 1+"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/93.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Hitting on a 1+ BS (which more often than not is a terrible gimp), why not consider these weapons to hit on a 1+? Then when you apply negatives to them it reduces your chances to hit. For example, assume my ratling gun rolls 6 hits. As is currently, I get 6 strength 4 armor piercing hits. (w00t! for me.. CHEESE! for my opponent). With the new rule, the following would happen:
Against chaos warriors at close range: auto-hit
Against dryads at close range: hit on a 2+
Against dwarven thunderers at long range with light cover: hit on a 3+
Against waywatchers in light cover: hit on 4+
Against harpies in heavy cover and long range: hit on a 5+
Against chameleon skinks in heavy cover and long range: hit on a 6+

And so on. Sooo, what do folks think? Is this an alright approach to a house rule or something to balance over powered "auto-hit" attacks?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231567/587198.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231567/587198.page GMT Hitting on a 1+
Next version of the Ratling Gun will almost certainly need to roll to hit.

But, yeah, otherwise your system is a fairly decent way to whittle it down in the meantime.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231567/589715.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231567/589715.page GMT Hitting on a 1+ BS (50%, barring negatives). The rumored revisions to skaven ratling guns have them costing 75 pts and potentially doing the same. In my opinion, that's a pendulum move.. To "fix" the problem, you need to nudge things back an inch, and GW is smacking them back a yard.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231567/590485.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231567/590485.page GMT Hitting on a 1+ and lets face it, rattlings are never used at range

they screwed over sallies ;(
ruined them, now they arent really worth taking.
i used to be happy with taking 6 or so instead of steggies, but now its not even worth it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231567/590491.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231567/590491.page GMT Hitting on a 1+ http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231567/590852.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231567/590852.page GMT Hitting on a 1+

Sure only str3 but -3AS!! that 1+ save aint lookin so hot now, and the templates make them even more effective than the artillery dice did. No sallies are gross and the hurt when they hit you.

I understand what you mean. Personally, I would side with Razordons as there's no random range to throw a wrench in the works of whatever battleplan I may have. Lastly, don't take this the wrong way, but what does this have to do with the rule suggestion?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231567/597837.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231567/597837.page GMT Hitting on a 1+ http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231567/598655.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231567/598655.page GMT Hitting on a 1+ http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231567/613286.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231567/613286.page GMT
