Think it was meant to represent the high intensity of the blast at a short range compared to a lascannons shot which is focused for longer range.. Ideal for burning through tanks up close and personal! I sit them around artillery mainly and wait for things to come to them.. |

Good point. Perhaps it is a typo. I know the CAF is supposed to be -3. |

Unless it's a typo in all three books that I know of, that have them I suspect it is right... (IG, Marines and Squats) From what I remember of Rogue trader the rapier used to have a reduced range but was still very powerful.. To be honest I think 50cm was always a bit of a long range for them (thought 35cms would be better.) Especially considering their cost and to hit value. |

Ah, but TSM 0 is as powerful as a bolt pistol... hardly worthy of a name like a laser destroyer  .

Its not the first time we've changed a unit from SM2 to NetEpic. NetEpic is OUR game. Yes it pays hommage to its parent, SM2/TL but its our game and we can change what we need to. |

Good point. Perhaps it is a typo. I know the CAF is supposed to be -3. yes, could be that the builder of the 3 armylist put the caf to the tsm nd it was simlpy a typing error... howver, i would say that they should only have a tsm by -1 or -2 |

In "Space Marines" book, it's 0 (but can move 10cm) In "Armies of the Imperium" extension book, tsm for rapier is -1 (but can move 5cm) In "Orks and Squats Warlords" extension book, it's the same than above : tsm -1 (but can move 5cm) Sorry, I do not have the Titan Legion Codex to check, but for the cost, a -1 tsm seems to be correct

I think netepic made many failts by reorganizing the costs. thudd guns for 50 points are ok anyway! oterwise they would dusty stay in the rack |
