Thanks. Either way, they sound interesting. not a race I'd use, but could be good to fight against.

Sorry if this has already been covered somewhere else, but does anyone have any details on who the Fith race, the coven, are going to be? by that I mean, what do they look like, what sort of units will they have, etc. Thanks.

Something I'd really like to see is separate PAMI for use as NCOs and LTs. This would also be great for Pathfinders, as the other platoons (Marauder and Exo) already are available singly. this would allow the fielding of complete squads rather than those missing models to make leaders.

Here It is. I've Started a post for all those random ideas for SST:WOTS out there in the hopes that some may get included, or if not to at least make it easier for people to see what others are thinking. An idea I've been thinking about is a dedicated heavy weapons squad for the MI. While...

I was just wondering if how reliable the August release date is going to be. also, does anyone no if the rulebook will be released any earlier than the models, as I would like to get an army, but will need the new army lists before I purchase any models.

Sorry, I just realised that you said LAMI. I also recall seing that they could keep their moritas somewhere, could have been S&P. I was talking more about PAMI, which were also the pictures shown by Hiromoon.

From The MI Army Book: "Up to two models may replace their Morita Assault Rifle with underslung G/L with one of the weapon choices below: - Morita Sniper Rifle with underslung G/L for +5 points. - Hel Infantry Flamer for +10 points. - Triple Thud Grenade Launcher for +20 points. - Javelin...

They probably should. I know I'd want to keep my rifle. Back on Topic, maybe that's another Supplement that could be done, official versions of rules that appeared in Signs & Portents, as well as other rules based on player feedback from these forums.

That is the sensible thing, but the rules state that they SWAP their morita for the heavy weapons, indicating that they don't carry them as well. even if they did, they'd still want a sidearm if they run out of ammo or their weapon jams, etc.

That sounds good. If your carrying a rocket launcher, you'd want something to defend yourself with at short ranges, rather than blowing youself to pieces when firing at the enemy that is. the 10" range is fairly true to form, as a pistol is sopposed to be a short ranged backup.

I think that using a knife against a warrior could be easily classed as suicide. A pistol just makes sense, plus they were used in the animated series which is where the PAMI and many of the skinny models come from, showing that they do have them. if we have .50 pistols now(desert eagles to...

How about an Armoury/mutation book compiled for all the races to allow greater customization. something with rules for sidearms would be good. seriously, what soldier, human or alien, would go into battle without a trusty pistol as a backup. especially if they were carrying heavy weapons.

I see what your saying. I'll have to try playing a couple of games with it and see how well it performs before I finalise anything. Hopefully I'll be able to find a good model of an SPMA unit that I can modify to try it out.

I was thinking about that while I was designing it, but wanted to justify the 350 points. I haven't had a chance to play that much, so I'm not really all that sure of how 'valuable' points are though.

Thanks. I'm thinking about possibly making it a bit more fragile, but I'm not sure. I used a Tanker's stats as the base, but it's designed as a mobile artillery piece, not a frontline assault vehicle. I'd appreciate any suggestions on this.
