May somebody show up some pics in which way he  has included the
IG Epic40k autocannon and missile launchers?
I would to use them as IG heavy troop with 1 autocannon 1 loader and 3 IgTactical troops
but I don´t know really how to include the missile launchers
I think they will not stand out very much on an normal IG heavy troop stand(squared base)


any ideas?

thanks

I would put 2 Autocannons, 1 Missile Launcher and two generic troopers on the square base.
Thats 3 heavy weapon teams with 2 troopers each (the Missile Launcher model constists of the shooter and the loader).
Put the two generic guys in the two rear holes and the other three in the remaining three holes as you please.

Hi Black :handshake: ,
2 autocannons are too much for one base, compared to the old SM/TL style IG heavy troops IMO
I want them in a similar look 4 tactical troops + one heavy guy
So you don´t make a difference between autocannon and missile lauchner guys?

In Epic? No difference. Missile Launchers and Autocannons even have identical stats.
The only differenc eis that the Missile Launcher model are two guys not one so you have to leave one hole of the base empty if you use a Missile Launcher.

The Loader model is beast used for Artillery as crew because he holds a rather big shell and the Missile Launcher already has a loader.

I thought that the loader is from the autocannon.

As normal troops or with extra stats?

No the loader clearly holds an artillery shell.

Edit - sorry I thought you meant for a support stand!

Be a bit inventive. You have 1 command stand and 2 six strong platoons. Or you have 1 platoon commander and 12 stands. Think about how you want them. Maybe your squads are 8 or  12 strong spliting into 2-3 fireteams (so 4 guys to a base). In that apporach you could have one stand of troops, 1 stand with a sergeant if you have the metal command pack and one stand consisting of radio, autocannon team and guard? Maybe have a missile launcher team on the lead fire team stand?

Normal troopers. One stand with 5 guardsmen (well I have lots of other models I can use as sergeants as well) and one stand with 3 guardsmen and 1 missile launcher team. That gives the one heavy weapon per 2 stands they have in the rules.

could it be that the autocannon in NETEPIC is represented by:
Infantrygun CAF-3 Range 75cm ToHit+4 Tsm-0  Move 5cm?

I'm not sure what's what in a NetEpic IG force, but THIS might help.

If you are thin on Autocannons/launchers/Lascannon IG, I'd just keep it at three to a base with 2 troops + 1 heavy.  E40K plastics tend to be a little hard to come by, so there's nothing wrong with frugality!  

Transplant an IG heavy for the "cultist" with the big gun in this pic and you have a basic support unit.  Just keep it simple IMO.

Ahh yes this helps
I´am a idiot I read through this thread a lot of times :shutup:

You E:A guys make  a difference between autocannon guys(support) and IG heavy trooper(SM/TL)?

I haveno clue about NetEpic but for EA i base my ImperialGuard infantry as their Wh40k counterpart.

Imperial Guard Squad = 2 bases. First base with 5 Lasgun guys and second base with 4 Lasgun guys and 1 Autocannon guy or 3 Lasgun and 1 Missile Launcher model.

Imperial Guard Heavy Support Squad = 1 base. 3 Autocannon guys and 3 Lasgun guys, or 2 Autocannon guys and 2 Lasgun guys and one Missile Launcher model, or 2 Missile Launcher models and 1 Autocannon guy and one Lasgun guy.

Ah okay Black
thats completely different from me
a NETEPIC heavy troop unit has 5 equal stands normally

Hm? Unit = base = stand.

So what are you refering to?
Author:  ulric [ Tue Dec 15, 2009 12:13 am ]
Post subject:  epic 40k Ig autocannon
base=stand...unit=a couple of stands=support card or detachment :angry:

I meant I will not have different stands in a unit/detachment

Epic A has 2 types of Imperial guard bases.
Normal. These have 1 heavy weapon between 2 bases.
Support. 2+ heavy weapons on one base.
