What if instead of super heavies ignoring immobilised results they get crippled meaning they can only move 6" instead of 12" basically moving like a regular walker.

I say this thinking of Imperial Knights, not sure how it would effect things that aren't walkers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638190/7636808.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638190/7636808.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638190/7637017.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638190/7637017.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638190/7663446.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638190/7663446.page GMT
Obviously, the full table standard would make them too easy to disable. But nearly no table - the way it is now - is too light.

Perhaps a weaker table could be done, like:
Shaken -> One random weapon fires snapshots this round
Stunned -> One random weapon fires snapshots, and movement decreased 6", this round
Weapon Destroyed -> Weapon always snapshots
Immobilized -> Movement permanently decreased by 6". (Alternately, can only turn 90° each movement)
Explodes -> Catastrophic damage (d3 HP, perhaps add a s4 aoe damage)

It could even go further, where the second time a system is affected, its stronger: (Effects are cumulative)
Shaken -> If weapon chosen is already snapfiring due to shaken/stun/destroyed result, it can't fire at all this round
Stunned -> Same as above. Also, further decreases movement by 6". If it has less than 0 movement, it is immobile for the round.
Weapon Destroyed -> If already snapfiring from a Destroyed result, weapon is destroyed entirely.
Immobilized: Same movement effects of Stunned, but is permanent
Explodes: Scales well enough already

Would be cool.

Alternately, they could have some sort of protection to, but still be affected by, the normal table. For instance:
-Roll Pen effects as normal
-Superheavies get 'Hull Saves'. Roll a check, using remaining Hull Points as the stat, probably using the BS skill table. On success, its just a lost HP. Failure means the pen effect.

This would mean a Phantom titan is not gonna get slagged by the first melta that pens it (well, about a 1% chance), but immobilizing that Knight is quite possible.

Alternately, there is something like this, not necessarily just for superheavies:
Take the Pen effect number. Subtract remaining HP. If 0 or under, its a glance. Otherwise, apply the pen effect. Probably use the 6ed table for this, though.

Lots of ideas come to mind. But something more meaningful would be fun.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638190/7663486.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638190/7663486.page GMT
Weapon destroyed results would make a random weapon snapfire on a 1-3 on a dice roll.

Immobilized would cause their next move to be difficult terrain.

Explodes would be 1 extra hullpoint (so 2 total).



This makes them vunerable to smaller arms fire but also prevents them from being taken out with 2 lazcannons (which is a nessecary compromise).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638190/7665255.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638190/7665255.page GMT
glance - 1 hp
pen results of 1-4 - 1 hp
results of 5-6 - 2hp
7 - 3 hp and get rid of that silly randomness on top of randomness d3 hp thing ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638190/7665263.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/638190/7665263.page GMT
