<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Predator Angrinator"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/16.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Predator Angrinator BS and increase Strength. Anyways, before I continue on it, I'd like some opinions on my rehash of the classic Predator Angrinator (which is actually a whirlwind variant, not a predator).
Predator Angrinator-85 Points
The Predator Angrinator may be taken as a dedicated transport for a maximum of 10 models. No other models may embark this vehicle during the course of the battle until the Angrinator Missile Launcher has been used.

Angrinator Missile Launcher:
Range: 12"-48" S:4 AP:- Notes: Ordnance 1, Large Blast, Barrage
When shooting the AML, the embarked squad must be launched, (using the deep strike rules) onto the board, within the range of the AML. After scattering, place the Large Blast template over the squad, with the hole over the first model. Do not scatter. All models under the template take the S4 AP- hits. The assault phase after the AML is shot, the squad counts as having initiated an assault against the nearest squad to where it had landed. If there are no enemies within assault distance, the squad behaves as normal. The AML may only be shot once, and cannot be used by another squad.

If I could get feedback on balance, and points cost it'd be much appreciated. I'd also like to make the description easier to understand.

Edit: Oh right, and the deepstriking squad can deepstrike within 1" of enemy models.

Do the AMs take a hit when they land?

Take out the idea they can DS within an inch. This breaks enough rules already and taking it out puts back some risk. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285007/1461877.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285007/1461877.page GMT Re:Predator Angrinator

Without the 1" thing, it doesn't really give off the feel off them landing on their enemies. I'll try my hand at revising, but this is never gonna be easy to word:
Angrinator Missile Launcher:
Range: 12"-48" S:4 AP:- Notes: Ordnance 1, Large Blast, Barrage
When this weapon is shot, if a scatter is rolled on the scatter dice, scatter the full 2D6", the Angrinator's BS has no effect. After scattering, but before resolving damage for the Angrinator Missile Launcher, fit as many of the embarked squad under the template (even if they are within 1" of the enemy unit), as if they had deep stroke (deep striked?) that turn. If you cannot fit all the squad members under the template, they must be as close to it as possible, while still remaining in coherency. If that isn't possible either, the squad member is destroyed. After placing the embarked squad, resolve damage, on all models under the template, as well as squad members that could not fit under it. In the ensuing assault phase the launched squad counts as if it had charged into assault with the enemy squad. This weapon can only be fired once.
I'm thinking I should raise the price to something like 115 or so, instead of completely scrapping the mechanic of them landing directly on the enemy.

Edited to scatter full 2D6".]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285007/1471908.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285007/1471908.page GMT Predator Angrinator I'd playtest it myself, but I don't have enough points to test it in a variety of situations (since I spend all my time painting my friend's stuff...)

...sigh.
I think...you need to be introduced to the Angry Marines. It'll do you good.
As for the 54" assault range, it's not that, it's deepstriking. Terminators have it. Drop pods have it. The Angry Marines just have it, except they assault (kind of like...hmm Vanguard?) Your comment, in an odd...sort of way did give me an idea though. The shot should scatter a full 2D6" if it rolls a scatter. It's more representative of them being shot at enemies, and not being designed to be aero-dynamic.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285007/1477627.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285007/1477627.page GMT Re:Predator Angrinator

Even if they did assault first turn, would that even be a smart move? Sending a single squad of 10 marines (max) into assault with little support is a suicidal manouver. You'd have to wait until after the first turn at LEAST anyways.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285007/1504898.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285007/1504898.page GMT Re:Predator Angrinator

Predator Angrinator- 100 points
Armor F- 13 S-11 B-10
Weapons- Storm Bolter, Angrinator Missile Launcher

Angrinator Missile Launcher-
Range 12-48"
Str 5
AP -
Heavy X (Where X is the number of members in the squad embarked in the Predator Angrinator)
*Does not need line of sight

After working out hits wounds and saves, place a model within 6 inches of the enemy unit that was shot by the Angrinator Missile Launcher then roll scatter with one d6. If the Angry marine come within 1" of the enemy unit from the scatter, they count as charging into assault. Place the remaining members of the squad in base to base with models of the enemy unit. If they do not scatter into the enemy, treat it as a normal deepstrike. Units that deepstrike in this fashion cannot shoot, move or assault the turn they are fired, follow the rules as above.

Since this is supposed to be for fun games, I try to make the rules solid. The reason is simple, it's supposed to be a fun game, not a long rules arguement about what happens first then next and so on. Hence I came up with the idea of using it as a Heavy X and placing the squad within 6 inches to show where they may have landed then bounced into the enemy, or hit an enemy angrily pounded his head into the ground as he bounces away, or whatever fun and fluffy things you can think of. In the end it's your choice since you're the one doing this, I was trying to offer another take on it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285007/1522941.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/285007/1522941.page GMT Predator Angrinator 2D6".
