It is in line with other light weapons platforms. Baran and Mossinian Rapiers and Thudds have 10cm move, Death Korps Quad Launchers and Heavy Mortars have 5cm move. (I'd never noticed tAll are Infantry, and have Mounted. The platforms you reference are much larger than a Sabre.

The Sabre is most closely related to the Baran/Mossinian light weapons platforms, which are designed for direct infantry support. Kreig's platforms are more properly field artillery.

Maybe a dumb question, but perhaps this is not the list to feature Slords then?

A list i've idly been toying with (heavy mech list - vostroyan/volpone style) also had the Slords (i wanted to use the exodus wars exterminator models ). They were a support formation with infantry, essentially a replacement for storm troopers to represent the veterans.

Could be a possible solution to the problem here? (would then limit the availability of heavy transport)

Nah, they're like mini leviathans and whatever list they get used in they should be transports, IMO.


Not now that SG's put them up to 200pts each, no, they're now not viable, IMO.


Personally I'd go for:

3BP
Macro Weapon
One Shot

Maybe also Ignores Cover.

No need for the mega template. Certainly not that and Macro Weapon.

And all have a crew of 3-5 (field artillery) and wheels/tracks or 4-8 men (gun platforms) and no wheels/tracks.
The Sabre has a crew of 2 men only and has no wheels or other propuslion equipment. Thats only slightly better than a Space Marine Tarantula (no crew and propulsion device) which is also a Light Vehicle and move 0cm in the Imperial Fists army list.

I could see the Sabre going to move 0cm. It'd certainly give a different feel to the unit.

Alternatively, 5cm-10cm move would represent the crew manhandling it.

I want to see how two guys can transport this: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Prod ... abreac.jpg

BTW the cross-shaped foot is the same as on the Tarantula.

Maybe if there were 8 guys to carry it.

Yeah, it should probably be an immobile LV should it.

There's
Baneblade - Steel legion
Stormblade - Minervan
Shadowsword - Steel Legion
Stormsword - Minervan
Stormlord - No home
Stormhammer - Minevan

I think that's it (just double checking on the minervans when the file downloads...)

Banehammer, Hammerbane, Swordblade, Bladehammer, Hammersword Swordsword, Shadowbane Stormbane etc etc etc

Some of those are probably real, and that makes me do sad face

Banehammer - No home
Banesword - No home
Doomhammer - No home

Damn, I did get one right.

Hmm, realised I just missed quite a few off, will add them in a minute

EDIT: Ninja'd

Hellhammer?

It'd be a Baneblade with its main gun replaced with some sort of better Demolisher Cannon (AP2+/AT3+ ignores cover) I guess.



I wanted to get an Armoured Fist support choice in there (10 infantry & 5 Chimeras, or similar), but didn't get the opportunity.
