Well I don't know if the Moles or Termites would have anything, maybe a defensive bolter on a Mole, but the Hellbore should have some kind of heavy weapon, besides its defensive turrets.  I mean, its a War Engine, for crying out loud!  

Any suggestions as to what those weapons and stats should be?

I envisage a number of close range, high rate of fire weapons for defence of the immediate area and to cover troops deploying from the tunneler.

Like Assault Cannons, Gattling lasers & Heavy Flamers.
Similar to the IG's Storm Hammer Superheavy Tank

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?

Are there other utilities similar to Army Builder for Epic?

Army builder has archives for the epic army lists. Don't now if other army list programs also have an E:A system or not. ??? To ge the AB epic system go to the wolflair site though AB itself and download it. It is one of the latest. Contains somne mistakes, but most of them are easy to spot.

Regards,

Xavi

Hi!

I once looked into it for netepic, but thought the work involved into making the custom list was too much.

Has this program evolved to facilitate a better custom data entry?

I don't think so, but you can always make it a joint project - one person works on the Marine data, other one on the Eldar data, the third one does the job on Tyranids and so on...

Hi!

Unfortunately such "side" projects usually wind up totally in my lap, so unless data entry is optimized its not an option for me. :(
