Hi Guys,

So after my last game with list 6.0 I just had to ask.
Why don't Bio Titans have any bio cannons?
Every one of my BioTitans has at least one biocannon modeled, yet no bio cannon stats.

In many ways the Nid list is already pushing what I would consider JJs limit for long ranged firepower.

That said it doesn't mean that there aren't other avenues to consider using shorter ranged weapons, like a Bio-Cannon of 30cms just for example (AND it is only an example :8: )

Jaldon :p

I would prefer if the distance theat our wee beasties can step over would be wider, say 6cm or 4 or something.

The reason is that they have more legs, so can balance their weight on 2 or three of them whilst the othetrs do the stepping.  Other Titans only have two and have a balnce problem.

On the cannon issue, I would like to see bio cannons on them, even if it is just to convinve forgeworld to do an epic scale of their nids.

Also how high are the knees on the offical models.  I use my own conversion.

Thanks for the reminder (I can't believe that I forgot that thread I started)

Here is my (phase distorted) Hierophant, as you can see such concepts as knee, ankle and leg length are somewhat vague.

Hena:"May step over units and impassable or dangerous terrain that is lower than the Titan’s knees and up to 2cm wide."


Truthfully, what would I do without this fine group :8):

Keep kicking me and just maybe I'll remember to write it in, it is my fault for forgetting, sorry people :oops:

Jaldon :p

Jaldon -

The question raised by Xen3 has bugged me for over a year... :(

Unless you think that SG is likely to re-sculpt the Dominatrix/Hydraphant mini, I'd respectfully suggest
that we'd outta take the model into consideration when coming up with the stats for the critters.

I understand if JJ wants the Nids to be a not-so-shooty army... but let's be reasonable! The biggest
feature on the Dom mini is that huuuuuge BioCannon... but, um, it's out of Bio-Bullets?? ?:oops: ?

Just wondering... :)

Maybe its a large err... "waste management" system...





Heh, kidding ;)

+ + +

Seriously, as long as the points take it into account, mini should match rules as close as possible.

Cheers,
