The bomber. Its pants. Changes for me are one of three options. Option one Cost is changed to 250 points for two. Option two Change either the BP to 3 or give it 2DC 5+ save. Option three Give it BP3 and 2DC 5+ save. Tested all options fo some time - comes down to what do you prefer? For the SG model I reckon option 1. For FW Option 3. |

How about replacing it with the Marauder Destroyer? It IS Armageddon and they ARE supposed to be the major Imperial bomber at this stage of the war after all. |

1 - Too big a change to a published list 2 - Wasn't that the second war not the third they were the mainstay? |

since the forgeworld model is infinitely better I suggest we adopt that one as the gold standard. All SG Marauder Bombers are vain imposters, not fit for battlefields as fine as mine.

You forgot Option Four, leave it alone. Sorry, could not resist. After all these "let's change this" threads over the last couple of weeks it just seemed funny that to not change things is never an option.  Back to your scheduled discussion.  dafrca |

I don't actually have an opinion on its rules... I've yet to use one. |

Probably never happen, but i'd like the rules for the SG model to actually represent the model, ie assault cannon under nose, rocket pods, hk missiles, and some other gun in dorsal turrent. I think the FW model should be the maruder with either option 2 or 3, the SG should be something else as its not even similar. Just my thoughts cheers |

Not to hijack TRC's effort, but the Marauder Destroyer stats are being worked out (or at least we are attempting to work them out) on the Elysian list. TRC has been looking at the Marauder bomber for awhile and I think the two efforts should remain separate. As far as the Marauder bomber goes, Option #1 would be the easiest to implement of the changes. The question would then be, would you take two MB's over a Warhound? That being said, seems like Option #2 or #3 ought to be investigated unless people are happy with how it performs now. |

I would still take warhounds as the bomber is basically a gamble. Don't deal with flak and ground rt is a better deal, manage to and it becomes better. |

There are stats for the Marauder Bomber in the AMTL list as well (fairly good stats, I think!) which fit with the model and the fluff of it being a serious bomber, meant for long-range heavy duty runs. They're fairly well balanced too, IMHO, though they ARE more expensive then standard marauders. |

The current Marauder Bomber rules do not reflect what the bomber should be capable of. I would gladly pay more points to make it more effective. I would say option 3 for 200 points per aircraft. Possibly even make the payload heavier, 4 BP each. 8 BP total which gives two templates. Possibly also allow 2-4 Bombers as a choice, and the Thunderbolt as well, bought in elements of 2 each, but formations up to 6 Thunderbolts in a formation a flight. I like Airpower by the way and Aerospace Operations are something I like to think about in real life. |
