So, anyway... here I am trying to sort out a 6K Ork army and I find this V5 reject throwback sodding v5 rule slap bang in the nice new Gold Rules...
v5 rule and word for word in Gold.
Quote:
Pulsa Rokkit: These are huge rocket-shaped explosives that have a variable range. Each rocket carrier has one rocket and is therefore a one-shot weapon (so you get three shots per detachment). Pulsa Rokkits can only be fired when the detachment is on First Fire orders and only one rokkit per detachment may be fired per turn. The arc of fire is a narrow 30 degrees to the front of the rokkit. Range is 50 + (artillery die times 5) cm, with a Misfire indicating range zero – the firing unit hit itself. Once you have a landing point, scatter it 2D6 cm. Place the small Pulsa template (3 cm diameter circle) at the impact point. Roll 1D6 for the rokkit when it lands and consult the following table:

Pulsa Rokkits can only be fired when the detachment is on First Fire orders and only one rokkit per detachment may be fired per turn. The arc of fire is a narrow 30 degrees to the front of the rokkit. To fire, choose a number from 1 to 20 and roll that many D6's sum them together, add 50 cm and the total is the distance the rokkit travels. When the destination point is determined, roll for scatter as for an indirect barrage (Pulsa Rokkits always scatter). Place the small Pulsa template at the impact point Roll 1 D6 for the rokkit when it lands and consult the following:
Wow, well that's just great. Thank goodness I spent all that money and time tracking down a few batteries of these models on ebay in order to play these wonderful new rules[dripping sarcasm and disgust]. Was this rule even play tested or did someone just have a brain fart at the pub and wrote it into the rules. Jeeze!
Orks already pay 250 points to take these, this is an above average cost for normal artillery most being 200 points but the stats are quite good if chancy (another restriction, quite rightly though, very Orky). Oh, but now I have the privilege of wiping out my own back line on a 1 in 6 misfire chance per Rokkit launched. Hmmm, call me a sceptic but the odds aren't too appetising. Is someone's taking the pure and utter piss out of the Greenskins! Is this racism in NetEpic rearing it's ugly head? I blame those damn toffee nosed Space Marines personally, just how many different types of Land Speeder do they need anyway, bunch of wankers! (And I mean that in a Non-Racist way). ÂÂ
Weeeell, I don't do nice... you may have noticed. Remember to let me know how you get on mate.
