Hi all, there's been lots of posts on flying beasties in Epic, and flying in Epic A has become more interesting with Vultures and Landas and stuff. One historical element missing from EA (or, to my knowledge, amy previous Epic rules) is the dive-bomber. The idea goes well with the orks - E Sunz flyboys would LOVE to hurtle vertically down racing the bombs to the target. So - are there any rules or suggestions for including these in Epic. They should be more difficult to hit by AA; and they might perhaps add an extra blast marker as a result of their terrifying attack. Any thoughts? |

...and a chance of ploughing straight into the ground after failing to pull out of the dive! |

Dive bombers were invented when there was a need of delivering the ordnance with more or less pin point accuracy, as opposed to carpet bombing. They became kind of unnecessary after air to ground rockets were invented and bombing accuracy improved by courtesy of advanced sights and (later) computers and smart weapons. That's why we don't see them anymore; their niche has been taken by other things. <\SOTR MODE> That said, the idea is definitely orky and would appeal to their mindset. However, the dive bombers should be very poor in air to air combat with possibly an orky chance of becoming integral part of the landscape as Jimbo already suggested. Ok, Vanvlak, now you'll have to make "BigGunz" Roodelz stooka skwadron... ![]() |

I'd say make the bommas, give them a BP weapon, and a single, short-range fxf AP/AA attack and call it done. |

erh.. well the topic title pretty much says it all... If somone haven't noticed the official Necron List is up in the Vault. Looks pretty good (though I'm not really a fan of Necrons) -an increddibly tough army: almost all units seem to have reinforced armour! Also some pretty nifty special rules. Check it out! ![]() Cheers! |

Hi! The best proxies are old epic SM chaos androids or Global games Inferno skeletons, but unfortunately are both very hard to come across. In net epic Necrons in service of the slann use "battlesuits" so we use battletech inner sphere power armor, but that may be too specific to our fluff for use as a standard GW necron proxy. Irrgeular makes 6mm skeletons for fantasy, with some conversions on your part they'd make good necrons. Primarch |

Just d/l'ed the list. Gonna have a read soon, but from what do I hear some things aren't as they should be. (Reinforced Armour on pretty much everything??? Jeez, that's just nuts!) |
