h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

There's a little wheel inside the left track attached to the bottom door axle which has got a bar mounted off-centre. This pushes another little wheel round by the same method which opens the top door.
I've just sent off for loads of chaos gun-fronts. Mail-Order must be getting hundreds of orders for them. 'He wants 4 chaos lascannons and 2 chaos heavy bolters. Hmmm, I wonder what he's just bought....'

Two Predator Annihilators? Just one minus sponsons.

I've never seen the point in that. Marine armies being short on tank firepower anyway, people decide that it would be a very good idea to leave two heavy weapons back in the armoury. Not the wisest of ideas, one feels. 400 year old Space Marine Captain says to his techmarines "Right lads, we're up against a load of eight foot tall walking green fungi, who outnumber us three to one, and just love getting up close and personal, so all our tanks are going into the fray with either an autocannon or a twin-linked turret-mounted lascannon. Get to work on those damned things removing the auxiliary weapons." How likely would it be?

Personally, I'd like the option of arming my 'Raiders with two sets of heavy bolters and one set of lascannon, or maybe even six bolters. Die, foul green scum!

I know -exactly- how to get an article approved . I got four new ones soon to come

Anyway, carry on with your conversation...

There's various variations on the Land Raider coming out, one of which has two TRIPLE-linked heavy-bolters.

Right, let me hand you over to a guy who has, shall we say, inside information.

Over to you............


The Land Raider 'Crusader' has 2 sponson 'Hurricane' pattern Bolters, plus twin-linked assault cannon, Mult-Melta, extra armour AND an increased transport capacity.

You should just wait to see the 'Quins............

Nice tank......

Still, I'd like lascannons where you can reroll misses

Plus, this c**t likes eldar...... w****r

Yeah, cool tank!

I think mine will have to be armed like that. Let's see how many of a terminator squad can stay on their feet after THAT sort of barrage. Withering...

Eldar *spits in contempt(ptooo...ping!)*...weak and effete scum, hiding behind their poncy technology. I'd rather put my faith in big axes and a horde of frothing red loonies any day.

LOL,

Necr

So you can fly around the battlefield at 70mph...what can you do when you fly into a krak missile?

Yup, you just run around the battle field all day, wavinf your red axes, whilst I go horizontal jogging with your ma/sis/lady friend, then I put my harlequins on the table, pull out a fusions pistol, and bap! I can kill any member of the world eater chapter on a 2+. (oh, and I have the codex to prove it.

Yeah, you'ds better explain that

I take it this is a one shot per turn weapon, yeah? Ok, try taking on a dozen World Scoffas with that

So, you take a shot with a fusion pistol. What if you miss? You than have to face some rather angry nutters who are bigger, 'arder and stronger than you. I'd like to see a harlequins squad survive 48 strenght 5 hits (with only invulnerable armour saves counting). Oh, and the shots from the supporting Land Raider Crusader too.

And then, of course, there's the Bloodthirster. And the Bloodletters. Not to mention the Obliterators, several squads of Berserkers, and a Biker Lord who gets seven attacks when he charges...

LOL,

Necr

Then again, the Eldar have many guns, some of which are quite hard. THey could always run away from you quite proficiantly (I just don't see them doing much killing that way though).

Exactly. Much running away (and therefore not able to fire big guns), with me standing around sticking my fingers up and yelling "Come get some!" in a big hard voice...

Necr

Just because you're Khornate, doesn't mean you can't shoot back. Seriously.

Everyone check this out:

When you're troops have no guns, you can't. No, seriously. The only squads which have *anything* beyond boltpistols are my command squad (plasma pistols) and my Obliterators.

It's not that I wouldn't shoot, it's just that they run so fast they'd be out of range before I got a shot in...

Necr

Aha.... not boasting or anything, but I came 2nd in the Manchester Arndale store's painting contest last weekend.

And what makes you think that after you have recieved the attention of a harlequin squad in close combat you will have enough models left to make 1 attack?

Simple. I know how to use cover and frag grenades. Either I strike first or we strike at the same time. Call it tactics, if you will. Not something that a bunch of jumped-up clowns would know about...

LOL

Necr

No interest in Avatar's campaign then is there?
