There are few
things that need stats though.� The Ragnarok and
Siegfried tanks, the IG autocannon and bazooka guys, the Fire Support
platoon guy, and the Space Marine jet bike.
Hmm.� This is a big can of worms with a couple of these.� The
Ragnarok and Siegfried, sure, I can understand that.� The models are
very different and unique.�
However, the IG weapons are all basically covered under the IG Heavy
Weapons Infantry unit.� Regardless of whether they are using Rocket
Launchers, Autocannons, Lascannons or Heavy Bolters they are covered
under IG Heavy Weapons Infantry.� If we start introducing rules for
each type of heavy weapon that infantry carry it gets too
confusing.� If we do this for the IG, then we need to differentiate
for Space Marine Devastators (who can take Multi-Meltas, Plasma Cannons,
Lascannons and Heavy Bolters), Orks, and Squats to keep
consistancy.� This was done to the extreme in Adeptus
Titanicus/Space Marine V1 days and was
really confusing.� I'd
be voting No to making unique stats for the different IG Heavy Weapons
minis.
The Space Marine Jetbike is very controversial.� Once upon a time
they could have jetbikes, then they were dropped.� They are very
hard to get now.� GW UK and US do not sell them.� Marines have
the basic bike, isn't that enough?� If we introduce them they should
be VERY optional.� I wouldn't want to play against them (Marines are
fast enough as it is).
As far as I am
concerned, we can have stats for every model.�
Sure, that's your right and we're all entitled to our opinion.
I don't like it because it gets confusing and frankly can turn some
people off.� I know of several people who hate NetEpic because they
were around during the period of "stats for every model" and
this turned them off completely.� Even though its been toned down,
they still don't want to touch NetEpic, which is a real shame because its
a great game.
One of the things I
liked best about the older versions of Net Epic were the
comments in italics for what models to use.� While we all know the
models for most of the items, there were some suggestions for vehicals
where there were no GW models - like some of the Squat tanks for
example.� IMHO, those comments should be brought
back.
I agree on this point.� There should be some reference for those of
us who are new to the world of NetEpic and want to know where to source
models.� I'd like to see something included in each book.
