A bit delayed due to me being a bit hung up on various projects. Nevertheless here they are: There's 15 to a pack (Quite a heavy bag too  ) 15 pods and 15 turrets.The models displayed are with the turrets deployed but you could also chose to assemble them without he turrets, as this is usually how the pods will look when they drop through the athmosphere. |

I would love to see some rules for the SMs using actual droop pods that could provide cover, be destroyed, etc., in conjunction with the Deathwind Pods. I was going to make a bunch of pods out of paper models but with these looking so nice I might have to make a purchase and save the time for painting.

Nice - and useful too- try this: 1 - place one pod just ahead of another, just touching. 2 - connect the two together in this position - a simple way would be to drill a hole in one side of each and pin the two with a suitable rod. 3 - fill up the gap between the two. 4 - finish the sides neatly, paint, and voila - one big hovercraft

It is also worth playing around with the various Guild and Khazari turret combo's, you can get some interesting results... |

(Moscovian @ Apr. 04 2008,14:30) QUOTE I would love to see some rules for the SMs using actual droop pods that could provide cover, be destroyed, etc., in conjunction with the Deathwind Pods. That would be pretty easy in concept. The problem is writing comprehensive rules for all the weird situations that could cause, but in a friendly game it should work fine. Make them part of the formation, but once they break coherency, they become their own formation and cannot rejoin. They cannot capture or contest objectives (or maybe they could contest but not capture). Stats would be AV with crappy firepower (Machine Spirits suck) and mandatory dismount on landing. Use the normal Planetfall instead of the drop pod placement. Maybe armor 5+, 1 Heavy Bolter per 2 units (they all have them, but at BS 2 and restricted target selection they aren't worth much), thick rear armor, and 0cm move, of course. The extra firepower, units and activation would be offset by the reduced flexibility in deployment and loss of the Deathwind (the pods would scatter instead of getting direct placement). === The minis are nice. |

They cannot capture or contest objectives (or maybe they could contest but not capture). What's wrong with classifying them as a different formation? Borrow the War Engine transport rules and you're done, no? Stats would be as you say. |

(Evil and Chaos @ Apr. 04 2008,15:42) QUOTE What's wrong with classifying them as a different formation? Borrow the War Engine transport rules and you're done, no? Yeah, that's probably simpler. They might not even need the WE transport rules. It's a mandatory dismount on landing, which isn't part of their activation, so there's no point in the game where they apply. We should probably start a new thread if people want to pursue this discussion... |
