They're not MW barrage.


They're BP 1, Disrupt, Ignore Cover.

OR

MW4+ 30cm, Ignore Cover.


At least, those are the stats we agreed in the Medusa thread.

Imagine a 9BP barrage with Disrupt and Ignore Cover. Even with only 60cm IndirectFire and a fragile mount it would put a serious dent in enemy infantry.
And the moment they come into engage range they are greeted with 9 MW4+ shots with IgnoreCover too :)

One small odd&end. You could make up 'Amphibious' for Gorgon...

Chimeras are also supposed to be Amphibious.


Not a bad idea even so.



-------


What do you think about:


- 20cm move for Gorgons.


- Allowing a single Macharius to be attached to a Company, in the same way as you can add three Leman Russes.

Only Chimeras are amphibious. All other vehicles with Chimera-Chassis are not.

Yep, and the Steel Legion list doesn't make mention of it...




Amphibious would be a good candidate for a universal special rule.

They're not twin-linked, they're specifically 2x cannons in the 40k rules, which leads to an interesting unit in Epic too.

The exact verbiage from IA5 is

"Battle Cannon: The two battle cannons are treated as a separate barrage...

Targeting: Instead of picking one target, pick a target for each of the Macharius' weapons. Both the battle cannons must fire at the same target."

So while they're not explicitly twin-linked, the effect sounds the same to me. The first passage implies they fire simultaneously; the second is very twin-linky.

And while I would prefer the interpretation of separate cannon, the source material doesn't really seem to support it.

In Wh40k it does :D

But yes Amphibious sounds like a neat universal special ability.
But how? Simply Walker for rivers or treat rivers, etc as open ground? In Wh40k rivers, etc have no effect on Chimeras = are treated as open ground.

The source material does support it.

A twin-linked cannon is one where you can re-roll the scatter dice when you fire it.

This weapon specifically has two seperate impacts.
