Latest version: Version 1.06 1.06 Changes: - Changed Marauder Bomber to War Engine stats (Phaeton Pattern bomber). Made them 1 for 150 points. - Increased the cost of a Gorgon for Storm Troopers by 25 points (It’s better for them as they have an armour save they can use it more). - Almost all DK unit pictures replaced. - All Mossinian unit text entries finished - Added Thunderbolt and Marauder unit texts. TODO: - Fix & expand the gallery section. - Do a new infantry painting guide (I think Farseer is doing one). - Finish taking Death Korps photos. - Either obtain unit pictures for the Mossinians, or obtain and paint and photograph them myself. Note the line in bold above... this suppliment is nearly done, but if noone steps up to take pictures of their own Siegemasters/Mossino army, I'll have to obtain some models myself, which will add more weeks before we see a printed version. Someone with a Siegemasters army (And people with the relevant 2nd edition models) step forwards please! |

What's the paint scheme for the Mossinians? |

I was thinking 'green', with Cadian style infantry (To make them look different to the Death Korps). |

Some nitpicks- The datafax boxes still look weird. The two-tone highlighted gray just strike me as a formatting error and the pictures are sometimes in an awkward position because of that. Some of the pictures still look pixelated along the edges too, but I don't know if that is because of the low resolution on the pdf. On the White Scars list, if you move the White Scars upgrade column slightly to the right and the Upgrade column slightly to the left, you might be able to shorten the Commander and Rhino descriptions by a whole line each, freeing up some space for you and making it less cramped. Special Rule box on the White Scars list, if you change the font size of the blank lines to a smaller font (4 or 6 perhaps) it will free up a little more space as well. It's a cheat move, but it works. That page could use any bit of help it can get. Imperial Naval Aircraft and Titan Legion Battlegroups should be centered in their boxes and preferably bolded/larger. Page 46 looks a bit too spread out and could probably use anything to fill in some space. A small bit of artwork, a picture of some units, a fancy design along the bottom. It really doesn't matter. Can you tell me about the Stormhammer armament? It is obviously less armed than the Minervan version (not a bad thing) but I am curious how you worked out the stats in Mossino. The white pages are still throwing me off. Even if you don't want a watermark, a textured page would look more professional. Just remember that you aren't being charged for more ink. |

Some of the pictures still look pixelated along the edges too, but I don't know if that is because of the low resolution on the pdf. Those are probably pictures I haven't gotten around to re-shooting yet. On the White Scars list... Sounds good. Can you tell me about the Stormhammer armament? It is obviously less armed than the Minervan version (not a bad thing) but I am curious how you worked out the stats in Mossino. These stats are supposed to represent an ancient type of Stormhammer used by the Mossinians, and were mostly written by TRC. The white pages are still throwing me off. Even if you don't want a watermark, a textured page would look more professional. Just remember that you aren't being charged for more ink. When I first wrote Mossino it was intended to be a bit of a thought experiment along the lines of 'what would a Forgeworld style Epic book look like?' and Forgeworld don't use watermarks in their books. I'm hesitant to move away from that but I will try out a few watermarks and see how it looks. |

Why the DC2 Marauder? |

Why not? |

Because the Marauder stats haven't changed in any other Imperial Guard (and variant)armylist. And a Marauder is a Marauder. It can have different weapons but if you change the chassis it is a different aircraft altogether. |

I guess that means this is the first list to try it out then... And a Marauder is a Marauder. It can have different weapons but if you change the chassis it is a different aircraft altogether. That's why I've changed the pattern name on the aircraft, that's like the difference between a Ford Model-T and a Ford Escort. |

Hmm...but if this will bein a printed book it isn't an Experimental Armylist anymore. So no "trying out" but a "set in stone" And wrong example. Ford = Imperium/STC Model T/Escord = Marauder Model T/Escord with different equipement (leather seats, ABS, etc) = eg Marauder Destroyer |

Well, there's weeks of playtesting time left before publication, during which I'll be testing it heavily. |

I agree that a Marauder is a Marauder is a Marauder. But I also agree that the Marauder could do with a beefing up across the board. So a DC2 Marauder is interesting. |

But a bit strange to fly alone. But as it is pointed out often : a formation of 2+ DC2+ aircrafts is to difficult to balance. |

TBH the idea that a Bomber will be able to locate and destroy enemy troops in the middle of a battle is a bit suspect, so a lone Bomber is the least of the realistic worries. A DC2 single Bomber as opposed to 2 DC1 Bombers, hmm. It could work. And it would ease the financial cost of buying the models. |
