I cant remember the specifics, but previously the Pulsa Rokkit sent out force field waves which knocked the enemy to the floor. Good fun, but not actually destructive. I would prefer if it was a Big Gun with Explode.

The Pulsa Rokkits from SM2 are bigger, so we use a 6cm burst template for those and the smaller 3-4 (?)cm Template for the E40k version (models) and we went with HE instead of the SM2 rules. It works ...

I think they do require a little something to differentiate between them and big gunz. Adding Explode is the ideal method, I would have thought.
I have just painted up two mekboy speedstas too last night. I guess that liftadroppa is now just a zap gun (or whatever it is) now.

That makes sense, I think we're going to have to piece a lot of old stuff into the new rules. ?But this won't be the first time, since SM1 in '90, for me. ?We use a set of "hybrid" rules and take what we like best from all sources ... ?

I never saw space marine, but heard it was very comprehensive. I bet there are a few weapons/rules that you have lost, which you'd like to keep.
I suppose with epic being such a small community, its easier to introduce 'house rules' or modifications, to add flavour and variety and generally improve the game.
I may add the stat to my army lists anyway, and increase the cost of them to 150points extra's. I only game against myself anyway, so I dont need to ask permission 
I am going to have to really try and make the playtesters day at all costs.

Those are excellent rules. As a Skaven WFB player, there's nothing I like more than unpredictable weapons of mass destruction.
Oh why couldn't they keep those rules
