I think you can
or at least I am doing it for ages
but I am not a walking rulebook like ZAP

Yes they can.

Don't be shy, questions are cool

You asked for it!

Transports!
1) Do they count towards the break limit of a detachment/card? For example, a Space Marine Battle Company's break point is 15. Do the loss of Rhinos count towards this number.

2) Why do Space Marine Assault Detachments need Rhinos?

3) Can I take a detachment (such as SM Assault Detachments) without transports? If so, do points costs decrease? Do break points decrease?

4) How do you guys represent troops in transports? Do you put the stands on top? Do you put them behind the transport? Do you use counters, or do you just tell your opponent that they're in there and get on with your game?

Thanks!

Yes


Historical choice, all SM companies include transports (except scout company)


No, No and No. You can take a SM assault detachment and place the stands in a thunderhawk. you'll lose the 3 rhinos but break point will be unchanged (BP 5 for the 6 stands).


Last option for me.

Me to
years ago I put them behind the Transports but that anoyed me

Thanks for the answers, guys.


I put the models behind the transports, which is a throwback to how everyone did it at the Games Workshop I frequented during Epic 40k's short tenure.

I'm thinking that I'll come up with a newer system just to clear up the tabletop a little.

Woah! Look who's back. My group's giving NetEpic a second spin (two more people are painting up armies, thus giving us an excuse to get together and play again). Yet this time there have been some things that have come up which didn't in our last round of gaming.

1) BPs. Units like the Basilisk have an attack die rating of "2 BP@" with a variable to-hit roll. This is because you combine them with other units, total up the BP, and cross-reference the chart on pg. 35 of the NetEpic Gold rulebook. Now, what about things like the Thunderbolt's Rockets which have "4 BP" but don't have the "@" and their to-hit roll is a number (5+ in this case). How do you resolve those? Do they still involve the 6cm template? Do they use the chart on pg. 35?

2) what does ROF2 mean? I couldn't find any mention of it in the rulebook.

3) Flyers seem really, really, good. In my last game my opponent had 9 Thunderbolts and they just pointed their guns at a detachment and it died. Do flyers suffer from needing the extra 25cm range if they're flying at high altitude? What's the benefit of flying at Low Altitude vs. High?

Thanks again for answering any questions!

All those points are covered in the rules


You must combine @BP with other models in the detachment. Basilisks have @2BP so a each detachment of 3 basilisks can place a 6cm template and to hit is 4+ as combined fireposer result in a @BP6. You can not combine with models that are not in the same detachment and you can't divide firepower: you can't place 3 templates with @BP2 each instead of a single with @BP6. Weapons with just BP (not @BP)do not combine and each model can place a 6cm template within range and roll to-hit with the BP value (each thunderbolt can place a 6cm template and to-hit roll is 5+ as thunderbolt weapon is BP4).


ROF2 = Rate of Fire x2. Each basilisk detachment can fire 2 times in the same activation.


Yes, they are, a little less with alternative flying rules. Flyers do not suffer the +25cm range penalty, this is for units in the ground that have to do with gravity while flyers don't. Flying low: you can hide behing a cover as a building for example. Flyer can not be seen everywhere on the table but he can not see everything too. At high, it can see all the table and can be seen by all units but they will suffer the 25 cm penalty to shoot at it. In my player group, flyer at low altitude do not benefit from "Shoot the Thin Part" as they are considered at a "titan" height altitude and even the imperator top weapons do not benefit such a bonus.


I hope my answers will help you

The Exorcist is in the vehicle section of the Adeptus Ministorum.

Does it combine like artillery or does it fire individually like kustom kannons?

Not noted @BP so each exorcist place a barrage template and BP value for each template is determined by barrage dice

Thanks for the help, Scream!

Quick question, when purchasing Gargants is the Belly gun included in the initial price or not i.e. do you have to pay 100 points for the gutbuster?

_________________
Bugger I hate it when that happens!

No gun is included in Slasha/Great gargant chassis cost. You can choose between snapper or gutbuster weapons for belly gun and add their respective cost to the titan cost.

Scream is so fast
good answers
