Stats for an APC? with link to picture

Not bad, but I have to admit that the "Emergency Combat Ejection" sounds very Power Ranger-ish to me. Images of the roof popping open and the troops flying out of the top... :shock:

Other than that, looks good.

Maybe he was thinking more in terms of BF 2142 perhaps :wink:.
 
Wasn't thinking about either Power Rangers, nor BF 2142 hehe

Just thought that they would be strapped in as in a drop pod (they are Cap Troopers after all)

Just an idea I was playing with.


L-Bug is doing a conversion for putting his orks against my MI.

came up with the following rule

Green fungus invasion:

If an ork is killed (rolling the kill score) by anything other than a weapon with the flame trait, he reverts to a fungus state and spreads open over the battlefield. If left unchecked new orks will arise from the fungus of a dead ork.
Any ork killed this way doesn't count towards the fact if a squad is at half strength or not.

example: ork squad of 20 orks. you lose 11 orks (5 to morita fire rolling a target, 3 to a flamer rolling a kill, 3 to a triple thud (2 kills, 1 target)
to see if the squad is below half strength you only have to add up 5 + 3 + 1 = 9
the 2 others spread their fungus on the battlefield to spawn new orklings to fight another day

It's mostly just for fun, but this could also work

I haven't bought this, but have played the earlier games of the BF series. About half way though this video you'll see what I mean regarding APC options. :wink:

I can see the similarities.

But it's just something I came up <ith because I don't have a mot of occasions to game at the moment.

The background for BF 2142 looks interesting though.

I believe you when you say you didn't know about BF 2142 :). You can see how I could have thought it possible that you did know, when the APC looks like the PC game version AND of you describing how the troops disembarked. You're not a PC game designer, perhaps? :lol:
 
believe me, not a pc games designer at all.
I'm rather a computer idiot (I'm happy I can achieve to post on a forum, oke it's not that bad :D )

What does happen all the time is me thinking up things and finding out later somebody thought it up before me and gets realeased in a manner of speaking just after my initial thought.

So you could say I with my time, but always a little late (my wife tells me quite often the same about me :D )

To me it was a logical stream of thought.
Capsuled Troopers - Drop suits - Ejection suits

Thank you for the kind comments Buships

Coincidence is always fun :) . I gotta move at the end of the month(or so), and man am I not trusting my miniatures to get put in storage, the way the boxes get handled by the posse of friends of my parents scares me, infact I had to repait a peice of city terrain last time. BF 2142 looks like it could be of some use for inspiration.

Oh and I just noticed that cthulutech(don't tell me it's spelled wrong, I always forget how to spell it anyways) book is out :twisted: .
 
It's spelled wrong. :P :lol:

Just kidding, no idea actually. Good to hear it's out though. Looks to be a pretty interesting take on a classic theme.

Yeah I had to have a look-see, as I always found the cthulhu to be really cool in a macabre way :)
