Hi there Paul,
Good to see you getting into the hobby.
Anyways, enough reminiscing.. Hows about a few "newbie questions"?
Shoot ...
First off, if I read the rules correctly, the Space Marine Land Raiders
seem awful tough! 2 shots/turn, hit on 4+? Is that right? The rulebook says
"2x anti-tank". Very powerful...
I advise you to say this very quietly as it is the cause of much pulling of
hair and knashing of teeth. Yes ... the Land Raiders are that good. They
are quite possibly the best unit in the game. To be fair, I suggest you
should spend no more than 10% of your points on Land Raiders (about 3 per
1000 points)
Secondly, the description of the Space Marine Scouts says they are not as
well armored as the regular Marines, but the stats chart shows them as
being the SAME except add Infiltrator.. am I missing something?
The fluff is a bit misleading ... In WH40K the scouts aren't as heavily
armed or armoured. To make things simpler in Epic40K they made the scouts
the same as normal marines but with the Infiltrate ability. Again ... to be
fair, don't go overboard on these things.
Another thing: It's kinda unclear about bikes/boarz.. does each piece
represent one unit, or does a stand of 3 equal a unit? One Marine combat
bike has a firepower of 2; The ork battlewagons only Have a fp of 1..
Doesn't seem right.
Another good on ... Ok ... Cavalry type figures (inc bikes etc) are based 3
to a sing base. That means a base of marine bikes should contain 3 bike
figures. The whole base counts as a single unit for the purpose of stats.
An example ... marine bikes ...
A unit of marine bikes costs 10 points and has the stats (from memory): MV
30, FP 1, Rng 15, Ass 2, Armour 4+. This unit is constructed from a single
base with 3 bike models mounted on it.
I hope that was clear.
Also, if anyone has any advice, tips, stories, etc.. we'd LOVE to hear
them.. We are just getting into the whole thing, so any tidbits would be
muchly appreciated! :)
Fluff is a big part of the game but doesn't play a big part in the rule
books.
There are a number of web pages which enrich the background ... mine is
one:

Also have a look at the links page on my site and surf away.
Hope I helped ...
Chris.
