Post subject: | NetEpic Rules Questions |
My brother and I have just started playing epic again, this time using the netepic rules sine our old space marine ones are missing many pages. ?The first game went very well (huge thanks to those involved in netepic, it's a great system) but I've got a few questions if anyone can help. ?Any answers would be very much appreciated! 1) Do orks riding inside vehicles count towards weirdboy points? 2) If two gargants next to each other both have mork heads and one of their heads is blown off, do the orks in range have to take a morale test or does the remaining mork head negate that? 3) Do orks need a morale check if a gargant with a mork head dies but the head isn't specifically blown off? 4) I'm unsure how fear effects orks. ?For instance if a unit from the legion of the damned goes into close combat with an ork boys stand (or say a battlewagon), if the ork player fails his morale check do all of his ork boys (or battlewagons) in that clan go on fall back? 5) When is the above morale check taken, is it in the combat phase or when the unit is moved into base contact? ? If it is when the models come into contact does that mean that several morale checks could be needed as each of the legion moves into base contact? 6) Where do thunderhawk gunships start the game? ?They used to be able to come on from different table edges, if I remember right, but it doesn't mention that in their description in netepic. ?Does this mean they start being set up with all the other troops? 7) When exiting a flying transport do troops move at full or do they follow ground rules and move a % of the transports move, i.e. A flyer has moved 60% so the troops can only move 40%? ![]() 9) Finally, do deathstrike missiles explode when they select a target and reach it in the movement phase or do you count it as a first fire?

Hi! Greetings Falesh! Welcome to the boards! My brother and I have just started playing epic again, this time using the netepic rules sine our old space marine ones are missing many pages. The first game went very well (huge thanks to those involved in netepic, it's a great system) but I've got a few questions if anyone can help. Any answers would be very much appreciated! |

Thanks for the reply! ?That's cleared up all the issues that came up last game. ?I might have to work on a new strategy in order to overrun my opponent's puny imperial with my big tuff orks next game ![]() One query with the fear, the legion of the damned description says: ?These troops are so terrifying that any unit they enter into close combat with must make morale check or go on Fall Back orders.? my question is when is the roll taken. ?For example if my goff clan has just charged a load of humies ?and then the legion charges my goff boys and nobs, do we take the morale tests in the movement phase or in the close combat phase when it is the legions turn to attack my troops? ?I can think of ways to argue both sides.

Hi! The morale roll should be taken as soon as the legion of the damned enters base to base contact in the movement phase, so that any bad effects are felt in close combat. Note the legion is a deadly combo, since if they are successful and a second unit engages in close combat they rout and are destroyed! Then again, units like the legion are sort of optional, so they are perhaps a tad too good. Then again, your feedback will tell me if that is truth or not. Primarch |

I'm thinking of ways I can get around them, spreading my clans out so they can't attack too many mobs at once. ?But even if they just attack the nobs and boyz of one clan there is a 25% chance they will break the whole clan (including any support cards) by making both break and then having them destroyed by close combat. ?Even if they just get the nobs and not the boyz then I will no longer have the ability to give orders, and if they get the boys then that will probably break the clan too (if I have had a few other casualties). I guess the trick will be killing them before they can charge me, I'll load up on anti air in case they come in thunderhawks next game and target them with all I have. Falesh |

Hi! Net epic is definately a combined arms affair. If you have no air cover or AA guns a SM player will make it difficult for you. Also some nice bad moons on first fire to snap fire at them when they charge may be good. Primarch |
