Hi all,
I try to collect all rules stats questions pop up during my Epic games

In my last battles it was the first time I used a termite detachment
while I found the stats for the termite itself
I do not found the transporters stats
the says descripton the transporter can be used as forward observer
so I used the obsevers stats for shooting and CC
while giving it a 15cm movement and a +4 armour

are there any existing rules for the transporters?

I could remember that a termite/mole(hellbore 12cm) is producing a 6cm template while surfacing
but again did not found anything




Another question is
how you work out flamer template hits on models with a hit location template
which location is hit ect.

cheers

Where does it say anything about any of the tunneller transports? The only reference I can see is to the Hellbore spotter Rhino. Transports were just pretty models...no impact on the game/no stats. If you give them stats, then you'd need to rejig army cards and points costs too.

I can't find anything about Termites or Moles having a template like the Hellbore.

We largely treat a template weapon like any other....pick a location and deviate as normal.

ah good then it was the hellbore only

Then I can remove the transportes after surfacing right?

We do it the same way with barrages templates ect.
good to know

cheers and thanks

Yeah, for Termites I never even use the transporter. If I had a "breaking through the surface" model for Moles and Hellbore I wouldn't need to use theirs either. Hmmmm, sounds like a modelling opportunity

The rules says that the scattering is only d6x5cm instead of d6x10cm if the transporter sees the surfacing point right?
but after surfacing there is no more need for them
I used them in my last battle to counter attck IG troops

Dang...just found that bit in the Gold book. I wonder if WMN would mind a lot if we took the Tunneller Launchers section out

...you would make all the owners of Tunnel Launchers cry.

Hi guys!

Oh well, can't do that (although I have a Hellbore, plus Mole and Termite companies myself).
