Light Armor Infantry upgrades (12/06/2007)

[Mage]

Cool. You work fast Hiro. The design of the gun is cool but the drawing is a bit crappy.

 

[Hiromoon]

I used the SST:TA image for it.

 

[Mage]

I'm sure when mongoose put your gun in a rulebook they will get an artist to draw a nicer version.

 

[Hiromoon]

New from Tibericorp Industries, the PRISM light rifle takes the firepower once enjoyed by the Bugbroom and Scythe laser cannons and packs it into a light-weight frame that even Invasion Company troopers can handle. While not as strong as it's larger cousins, the PR-201-a still packs enough of a punch to put down even the most tenacious Warrior bug.

PR-201-a PRISM Light Rifle
Range: 20"
Damage: 2D6+1
Type: Squad
Traits: Pierce/1, Auto


Okay cats and kittens, let me know how those stats fly.

 

[Makoto]

Enough firepower to hurt anything on the battlefield, high RoF, and costs pretty penny... Before playtests looks balanced to me.

 

[cOwgummi]

higher damage than a sixgun?

 

[Hiromoon]

It's a laser type weapon, and a Six Gun is 3xD6+1, which uses bullets.

 

[Elvis in Combat]

I really like those stats. Great work! 8)

 

[Hiromoon]

We're going to have to tweak it...maybe take away the Auto trait or something.

Or tweak the Sixgun...

 

[Makoto]

Maybe just make it 2d6+1 then?

 

[Hiromoon]

That'd work. Concider it done!

SW-308 Heavy Repeater

* - Ignores LAMI Condensed Rule

Morita Assault Rifle TW-303-A
Range: 20"

Traits: Auto, Piercing/1

PR-201-a PRISM Light Rifle

MG / Machine Gun - To take full benefit of this weapon's Rate of Fire, the user needs to take a moment to get the weapon properly set up. After a Ready action, the Machinegun’s Rate of Fire gives it an additional +1 to damage rolls.

 

[Poko]

or make it 2xd6(the prismrilfe), but give it pierce 2?
i mean if i remeber right,lasers don't really do much damage, small hole in,small hole out.

 

[Hiromoon]

But there's alot of tiny holes. Obviously this is going to have to get smoothed over during play test.

 

[Mage]

Not to mention moe wording. i mean the mg rule, is that readying cumulative, and are these 1st edition rules? Or is it one ready a turn for a mchine guns bonus or you lose it if the next action is not fire?

 

[xeoran]

Great stuff so far Hiro, more!

 

[Hiromoon]

Mage: Effectively, as long as the model doesn't move, it keeps it's bonus.

Xeoran: Thanks!

 

[mutantpoo]

But what of the lowly movie morita with SHOTGUN ? Bugshot just doen't translate well into it.

 

[Hiromoon]

Well, I could try to come up with something if you ask really nicely, Mutantpoo.

 

[Hiromoon]

Where are I now....

Oh yes. I'm going to make a rules sheet for the Black shirts, complete with their support list here in a few days, so keep your eyes open.

 

[mutantpoo]

Puweeeeeeeeze :!:
