<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Da Red Barrun!"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/16.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Da Red Barrun!
We're hosting a 40k Narrative Campaign Weekend at the end of the year at Maelstrom Games in Mansfield. As part of the narrative a number of units from across the different 40k races are being assembled as we speak to be made available as mercenaries, paid for with bonus points picked up across games in the campaign.

I have already constructed and painted Da Red Barrun (dakkajet). I intend to use the standard dakkajet rules (with extra dakka, a dakkadakkajet if you will).

My thoughts are whether to introduce Da Red Barrun on foot in the extremely likely case that he will be shot from the sky in a ball of flame! I'm thinking along the line of Chronus, once he's shot down, provided he survives the crash, he can be used as a single miniature.

Initially I don't want him to be too strong, so warboss stats doesn't feel right. I do want him to be able to have an impact though, like Marbo, a devastating disposable punch. I guess this would be easy enough to do by equiping him with the ork equivalent of a demo charge and melta bombs but it seems a bit east to do this!

Has anybody out there got any suggestions?

Thanks dudes.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4409150.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4409150.page GMT Re:Da Red Barrun! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4409160.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4409160.page GMT Da Red Barrun! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4409174.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4409174.page GMT Re:Da Red Barrun! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4409180.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4409180.page GMT Da Red Barrun!

My current knowledge of Orks is limited to the units I'm familiar with and use and none of them have anything as powerful as a demo charge, not sure what squig bombs are like but its an option i'd be willing to look into.

What about basic set up for the dude if he's on foot?

I don't think that would have a real impact, unless you gave him some unique rule or gear.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4409448.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4409448.page GMT Da Red Barrun!
I think I'll definately go with the Squig bomb though as it gives me an excuse to paint one and will be entertaining if it all goes pear shaped... which is always good with orkses!

His ejection seat should shoot downward, through the plane, with a giant spring at the bottom of the pilot's chair.

So far we have... Kustom Mega blaster, and Bomb Squig. I think as far as weapons go that will do.

What about a Kustom force Field... too much? Technically would this mean that his dakkajet would get one before hes shot down. Don't want to go too far with that.

As for ejecting, should he scatter from the crash site or deep strike anywhere on the board? (This may need to wait until the 6th ed is released incase flyers rules are incorporated and they don't explode on the spot).

I'm liking where this is going so far though, thanks erikwfg!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4409674.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4409674.page GMT Da Red Barrun! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4409730.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4409730.page GMT Da Red Barrun! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4409821.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4409821.page GMT Da Red Barrun!

I too am a fan of him taking a plane weapon with him though.

Kff is way too much.

Deep striking anywhere on the board is comical, but deviating from his vehicle makes more sense. If he deviates onto enemies maybe he can explode or something.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4410086.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4410086.page GMT Da Red Barrun! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4410150.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4410150.page GMT Da Red Barrun! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4412524.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4412524.page GMT Da Red Barrun! d6 table should the worst happen for the barrun, then I could account for a number of scenarios.

An example

1 - The Red Barrun goes down with his ship and meets his doom.
2 - The Red Barrun's is trapped within the smoking wreckage of his plummeting plane. He has the foresight to steer the wayward craft towards the nearest enemy vehicle with a last word on his lips "WAAAGH!" (Use the Blitza Bommer collision rule here)
3-5 The Red Barrun safely ejects from the flaming wreckage of his ship. He Scatters 3d6 from the crash site.
6 - The RedBarrun safely ejects from the flaming wreckage, and using his amazing piloting abilities somehow manages to steer his stormboy ejector seat whilst coming to rest safely on the ground. (Deep Strike, no Scatter)

Combining this table with a stormboy profile, a kustom mega blaster and squig bomb or something as potent that can be humorous.

I like the direction here, and it enables the character to cover a number of the options that have been offered!

As its for a campaign weekend and won't be a regular thing i am considering also adding a pawn/queen switch. (PAWN - QUEEN) If The Red Barrun can make it back to the Ork Deployment zone and leave the table edge this represents him returning to the airstrip, picking up another jet an re-entering the fray via deep strike in a brand new shiny dakkajet!

Keep the ideas coming dudes, it all good!

Deff Skwadron suggestions for inclusion would be good, but I can't fathom how I'd include the grappling hook, especially if the oppo doesn't have any flyers nearby!

It's based on an old inferno comic excerpt in a white dwarf. It featured an ork that in about 85 flights sent 83 of his planes to the junkyard (numbers may be off but it gives an idea). when he would be in danger of crashing ect he would get under an another fighta and eject, crashing through the bottom of said fighta. He would then proceed to "comandeer" his new jet and throw the previous owner out of the cockpit.

Rulewise you could say that if the red barrun is would be shot down, you can instead remove a fighta in base to base contact with him, if none are available he is on foot as normal.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4605860.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4605860.page GMT Da Red Barrun! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4606034.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455940/4606034.page GMT
