    Well said. Completely agree. Even if I'm not planning any Kroot-Suits for my army I still enjoy seeing the creativity and great work that others put into them. Any focus on Kroot is a win in my book. I'm kinda hoping the upcoming Chapter Approved book will have a redo of the old Merc list. But I won't really expect it.

    This gets harder with no Knarlocs available from FW anymore. Besides I'll hold onto the ones I have and wait for their actual rules. I much prefer a Kroot army using kroot rules than lots of Kroot-Suits. Just doesn't seem to fit the fluff for them

    The easy way with Ethereals is to only use Shapers as them and not as normal ones. No confusion then. Or even just using different ones (like the old games day one) as Ethereals and the rest as Shapers. Possibly even just modelling them on a drone would do I guess.

    Our read of it has been that you cannot go below CP but given that you total them you could indeed total to -9 for example and then just cap at zero. Guess it may not be everyone's interpretation but I only really play friendly. Alternatively I will just use some of the Shapers as ethereals too like others.

    I'm doing the same and restarted a pure Kroot army for 8th edition. Firstly you don't need any non Kroot units unless you want to. You can go battleforged without HQs you just get less command points. Secondly if you can find the old FW Knarlocs they have said that they will be releasing rules for them online soon! I've seen some great Broadside Counts As using Krootox with missiles/railguns and some armour. And lastly I've recently started a FB group for Kroot (The Warsphere) to share any inspiration and cool ideas.

    This is easy. For me it's just Kroot. I have played Tau in the past and may one day again but the draw has always only been the Kroot. They are amazing amazing race with cool models and great background. What's not to love? And kinda the drones too I guess, but more from a "looted by Grots" kinda angle.

    Anvil Industries have made a pack of pure Ion Pistols. These have previously been only available in the pistol packs. http://anvilindustry.co.uk/ion-pistols Nice stand in for Serpentas en masse

    Apologies for the format but I only have a phone and other means of hosting are time consuming so without further ado here are some quick pics of the Ashmaker WIP courtesy of Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/638046819625681/permalink/1181485688615122/

    Yeah that's the plan much of the time. But I would like to be able to give it a run with actual Volkites some of the time too. Just seems more fun!
  21. Shaolin_Monkey
    Use a Chieoroviles rules, maybe? :huh: That's where I'm leaning too I think. Just such a lovely looking gun I couldn't resist using it but there is no in between of the Chierovile and the Carronade. Maybe I'll trial a few different things out and see what works. I like the suggestion above of the crossed beams creating an effective blast, that or just that it's a massive Ray could work as a small Blast template. Volkite Cavalcade Str 7 AP 3, Heavy 4 Blast, Deflagrate Or maybe even using the model under the middle of the template as copping the full heat of the impact and the ash cloud spreading around them. So Str 8, AP 3 under the middle and the rest of the blast is just Str 6, AP 4. All Deflagrate rolls are made at the lower Strength.

    Awesome Destructors unerde! Ready to Choom for the Omnissiah! I'm more and more convinced that Blast type Volkite is too complex for now. Given that does anyone have any suggestions for what kind of rules I should try to apply to the "Ashmaker" Choomhammer guns then? The plan will to swap all the multi lasers for Culverins which is simple enough rules wise. The front Dual Battlecannon will be replaced by Dual Demi-Culverin and the top Cannon will have a shortened Carronade. I definitely don't want to use the Carronade rules as it seems mean, and can't decide on what else to use for it. Also tending towards just a Twin Linked Demi culv up front ruleswise. Then comes the hard part. To convince the local scene to let me play it I will first need points for it. Suggestions?

    Discussion time: After planning it for a while and the awesome inspiration of seeing one already completed here in the thread I've gotten well under way with my Choomhammer super heavy. Mostly I intend to use it as a Stormhammer that just looks cooler but may also dabble in some MDRC rules for it too. All this got me thinking about whether it would be possible for a volkite to work as a blast weapon? Thy make sense as a multiple shot laser or constant beam but I can't really make a Blast version work in my head fluff wise. Anyone agree/disagree?

    Looks awesome!! My Stormhammer just arrived and I'm planning something very close to this too. Glad to see the Culverins look so good in the sponson mounts and is that the gun from the Styrix on top?

    Stormhammer is ordered. Adding in some Culverins and assorted other Volkites I'm sourcing and the Choomhammer will be in production in the new year!

    There are many like it, but this one is mine. ;) Wait, you want a pistol duel? Doesn't the challenged get choice of weapons?Glaives at noon?Or Serpentas at dusk?
