Post subject: | Marine Transport |
I have had a little thought about the wording here to try to sort out the question of upgrades, replacements etc. I think the solutioin might be as follows Revise the Marine Transport wording slightly as follows Quote: “Space Marine Transport – The Space Marines are a highly mobile army. Because of this, the points cost of a detachment usually includes enough Rhinos to transport it and any upgrades that have been taken. The number of transport vehicles will always be the minimum needed to carry the formation (though some transport upgrades may exceed this). To work out the formation transport, 1. Add any transport upgrades (except Razorbacks) to the formation. 2. Add enough Rhinos to transport any remaining infantry that won’t fit into the available vehicles. 3. Apply the Razorback upgrade to any Rhinos in the formation. 4. Add any other vehicle upgrades to the formation. Note that many formations don’t receive Rhinos, usually because they can’t fit into them. Detachments that come with Rhinos will be noted as having ‘plus transport’ in the units section of the army list. Also note that you don’t have to take Rhinos if you don’t want to. If you’d rather field the formation on foot instead, so it can act as a garrison for example, or be transported in a Thunderhawk Gunship, then you may do so. In addition, you may choose to replace a detachment’s Rhinos with Drop Pods. If you do this then the detachment will enter play in a Drop Pod using the rules for planetfall (see the EPIC Armageddon Rulebook, section 4.4). Note that if you choose to do this you will also require at least one Space Marine Strike Cruiser or Battle Barge to deploy the Drop Pods from." Then within each vehicle upgrade, the definition needs to specify whether it is a transport upgrade and whether there is a limit to the number of transport vehicles that can be added:- Some example definitions
What do you think guys - does this help clear things up a bit, and does it allow for other transport options like Caestus, Storm Raven etc? |

Didn't the NetEA Transport wording get fixed/changed in a manner that the EUK wording did not? If only that Armies Book had been released, I'd be a bit clearer on that. ![]() |
