Hi!

IN net epic the termite has bolters, the mole more bolters and a lascannon. The hellbore has even more bolters and a couple of lascannons, but its main weapon is that when it surfaces a large area gets turned to slag because of a drill mounted melta weapon. This helps it surface as well as cleaning the beachead.

Neat...and nasty!
Without me running off to look it up, could you describe how this is affected?  By Blast template perhaps?

Hi!

Yes, we use the extra large mega-gargant 12cm barrage template to figure out the blast radius. Very big and very deadly.

I'm looking at the SM1 data sheet that came with CT : ?Assault Pod - Hvy Plasma Gun, Support Pod - Plasma Cannon, Deathwind - Deathwind Missile Launcher (special rule - use 12cm template, pod in middle, everything under template, even partially, must make SAV throw). ?Termite - Las-cannon (x2) & Hvy Bolter, Mole - Multi-Launcher (x2) & Hvy Bolter (x2). ? Hellbore (from a W/D article), Multi-Melta (Lx4), (Rx4), Hvy Bolters (Lx4), (Rx4) plus the slag effect as you described. ?Using a 12cm template, all infantry under template is destroyed, all others suffer 1D3 critical hits. ?All surviving units are moved to edge of template. ?Units within 12cm of template edge must make SAV throw. Buildings within 18cm of center take D6 critical hits. ? That's what it says in the SM1 rules. ?And we generally use those.

Hi!

In SM1 the CI and the tunnelers had very powerfl weaponry. They were watered down a bit in later versions.

So what do you think the points should be for a Hellbore - what about 400 points (given that it has no shields).  I mean one with the abilities described above.  And how about 100 for a mole (or 300 for a 3mole formation)?  and 30 for a Termite?

Comments?
