hi peter
i just read through the TL and netepic Imp. titan rules and the troops can be attacked in close combat with a -2 to the attacker but you can t shot at them except as part of the titan and net epic has not changed this as its written
Question? the big ork gargant is alot more open then the Imp. and you can assault through the whole thing...like its one big building....so can you shoot at all its crew????
I would think the troops are well enough protected that they can t be shot at without punching through the titans armor ........
Question: by the way it looks like the troops can fire the build in bolters ,or secondary weapons, or their own guns in some implacements. but they cant shot both the bolter, or secondary weapons and their own guns at the same time look at the troop placement template
theres some kind of build-in gun in each place that needs to be maned to fire...
personally i thank you need to leave them as troops in transport and as non-targets just to keep it simple.......yes they can shoot out their gun ports , but the ports only have to be big enought for the barrel of their gun to go through like a brinks armor car...and there are better gun ports like in the bradley IFV which is air tight for example......
PS: by the way, i ve not said a single personal thing back to anyone
Hi!
First lets all calm down.
I understand the concerns that making rules for one case could and can affect teh rules for everything else. What is unfortunate is that The Imperator is by its virtue an exception to the rule. While vehicles protect their occupant and the rules state only the vehicle is targeted and when destroyed the bail out rules apply, the same is not so for the Imperator. This titan is a strange meld rules wise of vehicle rules and buildings/fortification rules. It offers the ability to fire out of it, unlike vehicles, but undoubtably offers protection to the boarded troops.
The Imperator has to be dealt with by sections. Its legs also dubbed bastions for all intent and purpose ARE in fact buildings. Troops there can shoot out, are protected by shields but are vulnerable to enemy fire, remember they can also assault the leg bastions just like they were buildings. So if the titan is unshielded troops in these locations ARE vulnerable to barrage weapons that ignore cover, note this is a VERY narrow vulnerability since not that many weapons are capable of this. Not direct fire weapons work because the fireholes are to small to be targetted effectively. Fire and barrages that ignore cover however are another matter. Remember that the leg armor is to shield the troops more than the titan itself.
The upper realms of the Imperator are sealed and not accessible to the outside, you can fire from there nor befired upon by any means, theres no fireholes here where flames and radiation can get in, so unless a location is breached they troops inside are safe as long as the Imperator is intact.
In summary its NOT a strait answer one rule for all the titan, it must be done in parts and different standards applied to each part. It may be cumbersome true, but a sweeping generalization either way is not a fair gauge either. I am inclined to accept this since the Imperator is the only such unit with these "mixed" rules.
