<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "[Preliminary Proposal] - "Defensive" vehicle weapons, revisited as a concept."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/16.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net [Preliminary Proposal] - "Defensive" vehicle weapons, revisited as a concept.
I propose the following:
-On a vehicle, weapons that have the "Assault" or "Rapid-Fire" type do not count against the number of weapons which may be fired at full BS.
-On a vehicle, weapons that have the "Salvo" type do not count against the number of weapons which may be fired at full BS, *if* the owning player fires them at reduced profile.
-Assault/Rapidfire weapons on vehicles, as well as Salvo weapons in their reduced profile may be all used for Overwatch.

The main beneficiaries would be Ork Battlewagons, Necron Ghost Arks to a lesser extent, any vehicle with Flamers, Chaos vehicles with combi-meltas, Lasplas Razorbacks, etc.

Are there any notable gamebreakers that would arise from this?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645744/7778078.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645744/7778078.page GMT [Preliminary Proposal] - "Defensive" vehicle weapons, revisited as a concept.
Example:
Land Raider Crusaders could move forward 12", fire their Hurricane Bolters, and could Power of the Machine Spirit its Assault Cannon. The other Land Raider variants would not have this benefit as they're all Heavy Weapons, so the pricing would have to shift somewhat.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645744/7778782.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645744/7778782.page GMT [Preliminary Proposal] - "Defensive" vehicle weapons, revisited as a concept. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645744/7778992.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645744/7778992.page GMT Re:[Preliminary Proposal] - "Defensive" vehicle weapons, revisited as a concept. IIRC the old defensive rule was anything S5 of below, which was a bit weird. I like this better.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645744/7782243.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645744/7782243.page GMT [Preliminary Proposal] - "Defensive" vehicle weapons, revisited as a concept.

I like the idea. The rules are pretty clean, but some vehicles would need price adjustments depending on whether they benefit from this rule or not, and depending on whether or not the vehicle is currently appropriately priced.

On one hand, I am inclined to agree simply because the Crusader is the best option. On the other hand, Land Raiders generally aren't worth the trouble anyway.

This would make the Crusader the best of a bad bunch admittedly, but Land Raiders are an interesting topic in their own right.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645744/7782726.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645744/7782726.page GMT [Preliminary Proposal] - "Defensive" vehicle weapons, revisited as a concept. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645744/7782884.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/645744/7782884.page GMT
