Transcription of Wave 1 cards

[Xorrandor]

So, actually this is false advertising: I've made a transcript of the Wave 1 cards (since the originals are so blurry), but I didn't want to post it without some sort of permission from Mongoose. I think two pages of reference material falls under "fair use", but no reason to step on any toes.

If anyone at Mongoose has a problem with my posting a transcript, let me know, otherwise I'll try to post in a day or so.

 

[Mage]

Cant see why they would not.

 

[Xorrandor]

Well, I guess I'll hope there are no objections. I just made a plain text file, which I'll cut and paste here in a combination of laziness and complete file format compatibility. I did make a few editing changes, in [brackets]; I tried to leave all the spelling the same, but if my fingers decided to type in American at some point I wouldn't be too surprised.

Skinnie Soldiers (100)

The professional military of the Skinnie Hegemony, Soldiers are armed with cruel weapons that can literally squeeze the life out of an enemy.

Champion w/ Constrictor Rifle, 4 x Soldiers w/Constrictor Rifles

Up to ten more soldiers may be added for +20 points each. Up to two models may replace their constrictor rifles for neural beamers for +40 points each.

Squad

Constrictor Rifle Range: 18" Damage: D6

Neural Beamer Range: 30" Damage: D6+3

Constrictor Rifle: This weapon causes a -2 penalty to Armour rolls.

Neural Beamer: Optional upgrade. One of the most feared weapons in the galaxy, this weapon requires a Ready action to be taken before it can be fired. Trace a straight line from the firing model to any point in Line of Sight, up to 30" away. This does not have to be within the rest of the unit's Fire Zone. Every model along this line (including models in the same unit as the soldier!) will be hit. Ignore the results of any Armour rolls. It may only be fired once per turn and never as a reaction.



Skinnie Raiders (140)

Skilled in infiltration and ambush tactics, Skinnie Raiders form the backbone of many raiding parties.

Up to ten more raiders w/constrictor rifle may be added for +20 points each. Any model may replace its constrictor rifle for a light neural beamer for +10 points each. Up to two models may replace their constrictor rifle for a constrictor cannon for +20 points each.

This weapon may never be fired as a reaction.

Ambush: One raiders unit in an army may be concealed in an area of terrain outside of the enemy's deployment zone before the game begins. Write down the location of the unit before any models are deployed. You can reveal the unit at any time by placing the models on the table.

All but unstoppable, the Tanker Bug can smash armoured vehicles or defensive positions apart with equal ease.

Heavy

Caustic Flame Range: 12" Damage: D10

Lumbering: The tanker bug may never make reactions and may never benefit from Cover. It is immune to Suppression and will ignore all terrain 1" high or less for the purposes of movement.

Tunnelling: This unit may start the game underground, tunnelling in secret towards enemy positions. Write down the exact location where you intend the unit to surface before any models are deployed. At the beginning of every Arachnid turn after the first, roll a dice. On a 5 or more, the unit will surface at this point, and may take a single action immediately. You may add a cumulative +1 bonus to this roll for every turn after the second in which you roll.



Warrior Bug Swarm (150)

Able to swarm in hordes of thousands, there are few alien creatures more terrifying than the Arachnid Warrior Bug.

10 x Warrior Bugs

Up to 10 extra warrior bugs may be added for +15 points each. Workers may be mixed into the swarm at the cost of -5 points for every warrior bug present; the Target score for each warrior bug will drop to 4+.

Swarm

No Ranged Weapons

Swarm: Any warrior bug may be nominated as unit leader at the start of every action. This warrior bug may act as unit leader for any warrior bugs, including those not part of its original unit.

Horde: Warrior bug units may join to form a horde at the start of a turn, acting as [a] single unit, up to a maximum of 20 warrior bugs among all swarms. Each unit must have at least one warrior bug within 1" of a warrior bug from another unit, rather than having every warrior bug within 6" of the unit leader. The horde will take actions, move and trigger reactions as if it were a single unit. Only a single swarm can use the Tunnelling special rule - a horde cannot.

Claws and Jaws: Each warrior bug may choose to roll either 2xD6+1 or D10 in close combat. Either way it will reduce Armour rolls by -1.

Reckless: Warrior bugs are immune to Suppression. However it is possible for sheer weight of firepower to force them backwards. If a warrior bug succeeds in an Armour roll, move it directly away from its attacker by 2". It may only do this once per turn, and if it cannot move 2" away (because of impassable terrain or a table edge) then another Armour roll must immediately be made.

Unstoppable: If an enemy model completes an action within 6" of at least one model in the swarm, this unit may choose a Charge action as a reaction, rather than Move or Shoot. However, it must Charge the enemy unit that triggered the reaction.

Tunnelling: This unit may start the game underground, tunnelling in secret towards enemy positions. Write down the exact location where you intend the unit to surface before any models are deployed. At the beginning of every Arachnid turn after the first, roll a dice. On a 5 or more, the unit will surface at this point, and may take a single action immediately. You may add a cumulative +1 bonus to this roll for every turn after the second in which you roll.

[Hiromoon]

Those cost extra.

 

[cordas]

Those cost extra.

Would happily pay extra, it just ain't an option *SIGH*.

Not being cheecky Hiromoon but are you going to be doing SST EVO cards for the rest of current S&P cards, yours are much much better quaility *SHAMLESS SUCKING UP* :lol:

You would be my forum posting hero if you did 8)

 

[Gauntlet-]

yeah frankly yours would be more useful in the end, because Id wager you would write Hits 6- and then include the description.... and maybe put the weapon description right with the weapon stats...

what would we do without you and your wonderful cards-

Continued shameless sucking up

 

[Hiromoon]

Oh? You didn't notice the one lone card I did?

I was working on a LAMI card too.

And here it is, hopefully problem free

[fluffy05]

You do nice work Hiro. Many, Many, Many, Thanks!

 

[Turtle]

One interesting notion is that they still have some playtest time left for the game, so things could very well change before it goes to print.
