<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Knights Crusader and Castellan"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/16.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Knights Crusader and Castellan STR D Weapon unsupported is... difficult.

So, the Crusader carried Lascannons, and the Castellen carried and Autocannon array. The Lascannon and Autocannon arrays could be give the Helical Targeting Array rule, allowing them to target fliers, thus giving a pure Knights army some much-needed anti-air.

What I am uncertain about is how to represent their arm weapoms. The Las/Auto cannon arrays would be shoulder-mounted, but I'm not sure what its arm weapon would be. Heavier than a thermal cannon, for sure, but probably not STR D. A Magma Cannon, maybe?

Both the Crusader and Castellan have a higher cost and lower weapons skill to represnt the speclized training of their pilots.

So, the Rules:

Crusader ~ 450 points(?)

WS- 5, BS- 3, S- 10, F-13, S-12, R-12, I- 3, A- 3(?), HP~ 7(?)

Wargear: 2 Crusader Lascannon Arrays, Ion Shield, Magma Cannon(?), Reaper Chainsword.

Crusader Lascannon Array: STR 9(?) AP 2 Range 96'' Heavy 2(?), Twin-Linked, Helical Targeting Array


Castellan~ 450 points(?)

WS- 5, BS- 3, S- 10, F-13, S-12, R-12, I-3, A- 3(?), HP~ 7(?)

Wargear: 2 Castellan Autocannon Arrays, Ion Shield, Vulcan Mega Bolter(?), Reaper Chainsword.

Castellan Autocannon Array: STR 7 AP 4 Range 72'' Heavy 6(?), Twin-Linked, Helical Targeting Array.



I also have vague ideas for a backpack mounted missle launcher for these guys, but I'm not sure what the cost or stats for that would be.

As for the Castellan's Autocannon array, I'd say forgo twin-linked and instead give it the following profile as it's said to be specifically designed to combat infantry:

Yeah, but I figured that might be a bit much. I didn't want this to run above 500 points.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/626082/7411282.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/626082/7411282.page GMT
