What books are needed?

[gameguy1957]

I just got a box of both type exo suits and a Nighthawk. What books do I need in order to get the stats on them?

Also, since I need some instant gratification, can I screw up assembling the Grizzly's with a wrong set of weapons. Or can I put a weapon of any type or combo on any of the mount points?

Thanks,

The info you need is in the Mobile Infantry Army Book. The Grizzlies can mount any two weapons anywhere you like to put them. However, the Firestorm rocket launchers get bonuses if you mount them in pairs.

Or rather: firestorm gets a bonus when at least two of the attack dices roll a hit, thus twin combo being more efficient.

Nothing say 'Hot Firey Death' like 8xD10

Although you do get to roll two attack dice with a single Firestorm.

The moral of the story: the best thing to do is buy the Mobile Infantry army book and see what works for you.

Actually, the Firestorm, being an LZ 2" weapon, gives you 4dX10 each... According to the MI Book.

Rules are in the 'Mobile Infantry Army Book'.
Grizzlys can mount any mix of Sixguns, Firestorms and Thermic Lances, so you can't do anything wrong.
Best Combination is Sixgun & Thermic Lance or Twin Firestorm.

That's a typo, they're really 1".

Darn it....

Yup, been so much dissapointed with it myself... But 8d10 was really an overkill, especially on tunelling warriors ^^

@ dyssnowman - still it's "any two dices" when firing twin firestorm (4d10), therefore the sentence was correct. -^

Actually, it's "any two dice" period. So if you fire a single Firestorm and hit with both dice, you get the bonus.

Thanks to all who replied.

Now...must...resist...assembly...until book comes in the mail.

Or if I can't hold out that long then I'll at least wait on mounting the weapons.
