Brothers While reading the thread for epic releases and seeing the actual model of the marine lander, I decided to scratchbuild a marine lander that was more suited to my idea of a lander. I have made rough sketches of the vehicle and tried to figure out the different payloads. Here are some ideas, LMK if this could work Trojan SM landing craft w/5 units of transport LR & var. - 1 unit, Rhino & var. - 1/2 unit SM squad-1/2 unit Bike squad-1 unit LS & var.-1/2 unit Bunker-2 1/2 units Armament- 3 assault cannon turrets, 2 las-cannon/hvy bolter turrets, 1 hvy weapon/laser dorsal mount. possibly rockets/missiles, internal bomb bay void shields I tried to combine the armament of the T-hawk with the payload configuration of the C-17 transport aircraft. I'll try to post the sketches or if someone could help me post them that would be better. |

What do you mean by bunkers? Do you mean it can carry a fortification of some kind? It looks okay, but I cant remember the SM landers stats now to compare it to. Is it to be a warmachine? Are Preds only 1/2 units too? As they are a bit bigger than rhinos (bulky sponsons etc) What sort of design/appearance is it to have? |

SH, to answer your questions yes it is meant to carry a type of portable fortification like that suggested in FP 1 for the T-hawk. I don't know about the lander stats either, this was just a basic idea to start with. Definately a war machine; I was doing mock payloads with 40k scale vehicles and it looked practical to have a Pred as 1/2 a unit The Trojan is to be a 4 engine heavy lander, low-winged with several turrets housing assault cannons. it will also have a single dorsal turret mounting twin las-cannons(ala B-17). I can send you the sketches I've made if you want to give you a better idea. |

Yeah okay, or you could link them here for everyone to view (using Yahoo briefcase or something). I haven't any of the firepower mags, so missed that article for the TH carrying fortifications. I think insteand of saying rhinos are 1/2 and LR are 1 etc, the transport desription should be changed to whole numbers. Rhinos=1 LR=2. It makes it a little simpler. Then you have transport capacity 10. How are the items to be transported? Internally I'm guessing. Is the entrance front (TH style) or rear (C-130 style)? I suppose I'll see that from the drawing. It sounds a large flyer, so I would give it around 2-4 DC using EpicA rules. And that depends upon if it has void shields or not. If it does, I'd give it a 2 D.C. If not then 3 or 4 D.C. |
