<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "anyone else hate blast template wound allocation?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/16.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net anyone else hate blast template wound allocation? 40k for a year now and i have always hated the way wound allocation works when using templates....I think it should be whatever is under the template has to take saves...not just whatever units you feel like giving wounds.


does anyone else agree?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415802/3660519.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415802/3660519.page GMT anyone else hate blast template wound allocation?
In short, don't change a mechanic that is working just fine.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415802/3660557.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415802/3660557.page GMT Re:anyone else hate blast template wound allocation?
Also, certain armies like IG which depend on templates would own, others which have few, would just look stupid.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415802/3660569.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415802/3660569.page GMT anyone else hate blast template wound allocation?

Whats the point of takeing an expensive awesome HQ when its just going to be taken out by a bazillion blast templates in turn one?

Why bother takeing sargent's or attached independent characters in a squad when they are not going to be able to contribute diddily squat?


Also the squad coherancey rule would have to ba changed since squads could be easily broken up by a large blast.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415802/3660596.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415802/3660596.page GMT Re:anyone else hate blast template wound allocation? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415802/3660760.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415802/3660760.page GMT anyone else hate blast template wound allocation? 1. The models on the table are assumed to be moving around and as such those exact models are not necessarily the ones taking the hits from the blast
2. It would result in a great deal of sniping....the ability to spam template and blast weapons would just result in sergeants and characters being obliterated by having to take so many saves]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415802/3660873.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415802/3660873.page GMT Re:anyone else hate blast template wound allocation?

Look at the stats for the Demolisher Cannon.

Your HQ's would be my first turn...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415802/3662815.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415802/3662815.page GMT anyone else hate blast template wound allocation? SM in Battle for Maccrage.


If the Flamner armed marine or Sgt Octavius is hit, any model may take the damage, not just these models. This represents others picking up the Sgt's weapons or the Falmer.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415802/3663027.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415802/3663027.page GMT Re:anyone else hate blast template wound allocation? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415802/3664729.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415802/3664729.page GMT anyone else hate blast template wound allocation? HQ, I fire my Five plasma Cannon shots from my executioner at them and then place the template so they all are all coincidentally centered on your HQ, make some rolls, watch HQ die, move on to next unit...

Apply same logic to sergeants or heavy weapons or whatever else I don't like and that you would normally be able to shield from specific attack.

Also, hitting a normal squad with 5 Plasma blasts will pretty much wipe them off the board anyway.


The sniping thing used to happen back in the day when you position the assaulting forces and dump 10 flamer templates over the important minis and make them throw a lot of saves.

Both systems have their merit.

Someone should take a good hard look at wound allocation as a whole when they are writing 6th Ed.

It all need a shake up.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415802/3665026.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415802/3665026.page GMT anyone else hate blast template wound allocation?
