Ok Gang,

What would you consider to be the ability of a Dozerblade on the front of a Rhino Chaisis? Would the addition give you the special ability "WALKER"? Food for thought, something I have been thinking about and would like to hear from the crowd on thoughts. Following on from that, what would you pay for that ability, what would be the upgrade cost?

Cheers
Aaron

The Vindicator essentially gets walker from the blade so I can't see why a rhino couldn't. Perhaps a downgrade in speed though might counter the cost increase? Otherwise maybe 25 points for a formation of 4?

This would be an excellent idea for any Siege Chapter list

maybe -5cm speed would help balance that out and seems fine to me. Just need to scare up some dozers now ;)
Would this conceptually be for anything based on a rhino chasis?

I dont see why it should not apply to all variants of the Rhino chaisis. I agree on -5cm as opposed to cost. Any tank fitted with some form of special equipment usually takes a reduction in speed. All we need now is a suitable dozerblade in production from our favourite aquatic mamal.

I plan on having extensive dozerblades with my Minotaurs, but just decoratively, not ruleswise.

i think that dozer blades should be a seige-list thing, not a general codex marines one, but yes, walker is the right effect for them.

It won't go on the Codex list unless there's a massive upswell of support across the board and the ERC are happy with it.
