Hi,

i've printed off the Templates for the Pyro-Acid spray etc, but just want to check the dimensions (as i'm guessing it might have been skewed with the paper size conversion etc..)

the template i printed is 22cm long, and 9cm wide as the widest point?

the energy pulse is ~11.5cm x ~3cm

i suspect these are off, as the GW templates were normally nice round numbers!

anyone got the originals to hand to compare?

many thanks!


Hi!

I do, but it will take a few days, for me to retrieve them.

Give me a shout in a day or two to remind me.

As far as I recall, the main portion of the Pyro-Acid Spray template is identical to a Large Flamer template, thus would be 25cm in length. The width is a little trickier, with those bulges on either side. I don't have it at hand to measure, but for the purposes of the formula I am considering it to be a Large Flamer template plus a 6cm barrage added together.

I do have the Pulse template easy to hand. It is 11.3cm by 2.9cm.

Interesting that your Energy Pulse is basically the same but the Spray is different. Hmm, I may have over-estimated the size of the Spray. I guess I will have to dig that out and actually measure it. This may also help solve (or at least reduce) the issues with it's cost under the formula.

Hi!

An unexpected bonus with this question! :)

Cool, sounds like my print out is 'close-enough'. (i'm sure my opponent won't mind if they are a bit short!)

yeah, odd sizes, noticed in the rule book it says the energy pulse should be 12cm x 3cm,
i'm trying to get some originals from eBay (just for completeness) but these should do for now.

Many thanks!

Right, just dug out my Pyro-Acid Spray template, and it is a bit shorter than the Large Teardrop.

More specifically, it is 21cm long and 8.8cm at the widest part. Thus your version is a little larger than standard, but not a lot.

I guess I will be re-calculating the value of that template for the next version of the points formula costs.
