Subject: [NetEpic ML] Spectre Class Titans
> A few days ago, I was in the local Wizard of the Coast store which just

> A closer examination prooved I was wrong, it was a GW Eldar Wraithlord

> So I wondered if it'd make a good base for a Phantom conversion.
> After hunting down some more pictures on the web, I came to the conclusion
> it'd probably make a pretty good titan even without conversion.

> Weapons:
> Double Power Fists in arms (in chasis cost).
> Any arm mountable weapon allowed on Phantom titans on shoulder mount.
>
> Double Power Fists
> All Spectre class titans are armed with two Power Fists. This makes
> them particularly dangerous to other titans and buildings.
>
> If the player wishes to make a grab attack, the attack is made the
> same as a regular Power Fist, but 2 dice are rolled versus the opponents
> one. These dice are treated as seperate Power Fist attacks.
>
> If both are successful, you do do maximum
> damage to two locations on the opposing titan (and can rip of an
> arm and throw it across the battlefield, prior to tearing off the
> head of the opposing titan).
>
> Should the player wish to attack a building, the Spectre class titan
> is allowed two attacks versus the structure (with a save modifier of -4).
>
> Each Power Fist has a shuriken cannons found on normal Eldar Power Fists,
> giving a total of 8 dice worth of firepower.
>
> Range: 50cm
> Attack Dice: 8
> To Hit Roll: 4+
> Target's Save Mod: -1
>
> Should one of these Power Fists become destroyed, treat the remaining one
as
> a standard Eldar Power Fist.

> Base Cost (inlcuding Double Powerfists): 325
