Thanks for link- I followed it through and downloaded the file. When I tried to open the saved file though, Winzip would n't work.
I then tried opening the file directly rather than saving it + extracting it via Winzip. Did n't work then either.
Is there any chance you could e-mail me the Iron Warriors section? Either as text in e-mail or as Word attachment, whichever is easier.
I am dying to see what you have come up with for the sons of Perturabo!!
Cheers
James

But what are your ideas for it in EA? |
Njal was a librarian who had a psyber raven and a psychic power that was basically the same as the Eldritch Storm of the Eldar.
Simple suggestions would be:
1) Psyber raven: gives +1 to action test for the formation he is with.
2) Wind blast: adds one blast marker to the target formation. Range 15cm just like the Smite.
To balance out Mr. Njal shouldn't have the "Smite" ability.

'E's good, 'e is! Very simple rules, but effective, and true to background. Great stuff, Mojarn.
I suppose that some day Tuffskull will be explaining which colours and inks he used to paint the psyber-raven's cyber-eye...seriously, any Epic-scale raven ideas? Anyone wanting vultures big enough to ride on can opt for Warmaster Carrion, but these can't perch on a 6mm scale shoulder. So, is it green stuff or equivalent?

Insomniac: I have some problems with my e-mail acc, and I cannot get your e-mail from the board. But try to get Total Commander/Windows Commander (any version) and use its internal ZIP interface. Should work.
Mojarn: Good idea. Anything for the actual Stormcaller psychic power, though?

Njal's psychic power was called the wind blast, his nickname was Stormcaller.
The original wording for the psychic power:
Wind Blast.Njal can project a whirlwind of psychic energy that can pin enemy units to the ground and make it impossible for them to move and shoot. The area affected by the wind blast is represented by the special wind blast template printed below. The template can be placed anywhere within 25cm of Njal instead of making one of the other psychic attacks listed in Armies of the Imperium. Any stand or vehicle under the template that does not have a saving throw is pinned by the wind blast and is not allowed to move or shoot. It also has its close assault factor reduced by -2. Units that do have a saving throw are too powerful to be effected by the wind blast, and so may move and attack normally. The wind blast template remains in place until the start of the combat phase of the following turn and is then removed. Any stand or vehicle that would be affected by the wind blast may not move into or through the template while it is in play. Stands or vehicles trapped by the wind blast are given orders normally and are allowed to fire in the combat phase when the template is removed. |
So basically, as it causes confusion in enemy ranks a blast marker is the way to go in E:A.
In original SM2 rules the psyber raven gave him the ability to cast his psychic powers without LOS, but IMO the action test bonus is more in line of him being "well aware of everything that is happening around him".

Is anyone here doing Tau?
A local friend is, and he had some questions and thoughts and because that is a list I did not do, I could not help him.
If there is people here I would rather post his questions here then head over to the Jungle and walk with the Fanboys.

I've looked over the list quite a few times and BADLY want to collect and play a Tau force, but...
The funds are lacking...
At any rate, I have a passing familiarity with the E-A Tau list.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Cool, then if you do not mind, I will forward him to you.
Is that OK?

The E-A rules take a little while to learn. I highly advise playing the training scenarios with a friend.
My problem is that I've been actively playtesting since the earliest versions and I get mixed up sometimes.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

I played against Tom who was using Dark Angels. Apparently he did get to play a couple of games so he helped me out a little about certain rules although we were both looking through sheets of paper at one point.
I did enjoy it and hope to get a few more games in with him on the 16th. Maybe I might bring the 'nids along as well

I have a Tau and Kroot force of about 6000 pts. They are fun to play if, and if you have played modern MBT games you will get the feel of them quickly. They do the 'fire and manouver' tactics very well. No doubt why L4 has a force of them.
The list is a little limiting at the moment, and don't reliy on macro weapons!
I've only done 6 games with them but willing to help.
Cheers.
