Bomb squads OP, it would just be better to let them secretly rig one piece of terrain before deployment.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/354565/2575524.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/354565/2575524.page GMT Re:A new IG unit. Bomb squads
So it's a squad of Guardsmen with Demo Charges that cost 5x normal but die just as easily?

i see the points as fare but any sugestions will be taken into account, and they would'nt die as much if you by the bomb armour upgrade.
The Bangtrap rule is also very OP, it would just be better to let them secretly rig one piece of terrain before deployment.

i was thinking about making it minus a demo charge from their stock evertime you use the bangtrap rule. as said any sugestions will be taken and noted.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/354565/2578976.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/354565/2578976.page GMT A new IG unit. Bomb squads ld is too high, bangtrap is useless and bomb armour costs too much.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/354565/2583732.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/354565/2583732.page GMT Re:A new IG unit. Bomb squads
Bomb armor costs too LITTLE if anything. Why is it bomb armor? Why not the established carapace armor? It's the same thing. As many demo packs as you want on these guys, they're going to be pretty nasty. Why do they get cheaper carapace than Vets?

Also your S10 AP2 blast is excessive for the point cost. Either reduce the power of the hit, make it an ability you have to buy seperately, or increase the squad cost.

Finally, their Demo packs should cost more than the demo packs that SWS buy. Its the same philosophy as a Dev squad: You're paying for the weapon, but also for the ability to put so many in one squad.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/354565/2584205.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/354565/2584205.page GMT A new IG unit. Bomb squads d6/if they rolled a 1 for their armor save, and on a result of 6/ the explosives he was carrying explode and you place a small str.5 ap.5 blast template over his head. Just my two cents.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/354565/2592057.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/354565/2592057.page GMT
