Hi!

In netepic we give them 30cm striaght up, but terrain does block LOS. Whatver the skimmer sees at that hieght it can target and what it cant, it cant fire at. Units eligible for snap fire (overwatch) can hit them before they fire or disappear.

In that sense its very much like what Freshmetal has said. This has been in place for netepic for 7 years. Highly playtested, rock solid rule.

Primarch

Sounds like a simple and doable solution.  :)

Yes Mojarn, you are correct sir ! :laugh:   Daf, same goes for you, it is a "tactic" ... of some sort ! :;):     As far as Pop-ups, the way we do it is once the unit is activated, it pops up, shoots and before it goes back down, one enemy unit in range, on FF may "Snap Fire" ...

I'm scratchbuilding an epic ork speed freek army from carboard, paper, and little bits of metal & plastic. This no doubt leaves me with nothing but vehicles (the main reason to do speed freeks), but still, the speed freek list allows for a lot of variation in that. Now, I first drew up a 2K list (which actually was illegal, with 835 pts of gunfortresses in one mob), which, because of modelling issues, finally didn't really appeal to me. I made a new list, at 3K, which seems to be the regular game size.
A lot of mob sizes are like this because it costs more points (I'm a bit lazy, and orks are simply with a lot!), or I already built the models. Still, I'd like to know what you think of this list.

I now present to you:
Da shiny stuff tribe! (II)

Da mastas blitz brigade, 8 gunwagonz, mekboy speedsta, bad ork smallwheelz (bike boyz), 2 flakwagonz...370
Blitzers wan, 4 gunwagonz, mekboy speedsta, flak wagon, gunfortress...370
Kult of speed, 8 deth wheelz (buggies), speedsta, extra deth wheel (buggy)...275
Blitz koptas, 8 deth koptas...250
Blitzers too, 4 gunwagonz, mekboy speedsta...200
Blitzers tree, 4 gunwagonz, mekboy speedsta...200
Blitzers for, 4 gunwagonz, mekboy speedsta...200
Speed kult too, 8 buggies, mekboy speedsta, two extra buggies, flakwagon...335
Da bommerz, 5 fighta bommerz...250
Da scorchas, 8 scorchas, mekboy speedsta...250
4 gunfortresses...500
3K
81 models in 11 mobs, 36 of these models are built, 30 of those painted, and 8 others half-built.

You'll probably be better off combining some of the blitz brigades into a larger formation. Small ork mobz find it hard to rally.

Also, your supreme commander is an infantry unit in a formation of AVs - he is destined for a very short life as all AP hits will be allocated to him.

Pics of finished models?

Here's the pics, in an old thread. The project was kinda on hold all this while. I only made a gunfortress and the beginning of eight dethkoptas since then.

I thought about your comment, and noticed a small rule in the speed freek list that gave me enough hope to build this list (and I just managed to build a further 20 buggies today!):

Da Mastas Kult of speed, 8 deth wheelz (buggies), speedsta, extra deth wheel (buggy), bad ork smallwheelz (bike boyz)...275
Blitz koptas, 8 deth koptas...250
Blitzers wan, 8 gunwagonz, 2 mekboy speedstas, 2 flak wagonz, gunfortress...555
Blitzers too, 8 gunwagonz, 2 mekboy speedstas...350
Blitzers tree, 8 gunwagonz, 2 mekboy speedstas...350
Speed kult too, 16 buggies, 2 mekboy speedstas, four extra buggies...350
Da bommerz, 6 fighta bommerz...300
4 gunfortresses, 2 flakwagonz...570
3K
85 models in 8 formations. I could split the fighta bommerz for more activations, as they aren't that vulnerable, and need not rally.
