Fast Attack

The squad consists of 1 Sergeant and 9 troopers. They have the same statline as vets, armed with lasguns, frag and krak grenades. The squad may take 2 special weapons. They may take meltabombs at +15 points. The sarge may take a bolt or plasma pistol, power weapon, etc.

Special rules: Scout, Grapple system.

The grapple system allows the squad to quickly traverse terrain. As long as all the squadmembers are within 6" of any terrain, they may move as though they have jetpacks. They do not have roll a difficult terrain test if they land in difficult or dangerous terrain.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/472884/4705636.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/472884/4705636.page GMT Elysian grapple troops
The problem with making jump pack units like this is: You either get too expensive for their survivability and damage output, or you get too cheap for their mobility. Your spidermen fall under the latter in my opinion.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/472884/4705744.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/472884/4705744.page GMT Re:Elysian grapple troops
Cool idea, but yeah, I have to agree with Chrisrawr. They're too cheap right now and much more expensive and they wouldn't be worth it.

Unless that was what you meant in your OP?

Perhaps jetpacks for Stormtroopers to allow them to move the same way as Tau Battlesuits. The old Jump-Shoot-Jump shenanigans but with a squad of 10. That would be a little bit more unique and add some survivability.

That's what the Eldar Corsair list from FW basically is. All of the infantry can take jetpacks. The ability is priced at between 2 and 2.5 points per model.
It seems fairly balanced in the Corsair list.

It's in IA11 if you want to check it out. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/472884/4707963.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/472884/4707963.page GMT
