[Megabattle] Custom Model / Datasheet / Idea Approval Thread

[Rob S]

awesome, thank you both.

this is my first megabattle, so I wasn't too sure on how strict WYSIWYG was so I wanted to double check.

The kustom mega-blasta is built from 3 separate pieces glued together... I think its one of the guns from a lemun russ, the smoke exhaust from a sentinal, and some other random piece. but since it wasn't technically a kustom mega-blasta, I wanted to double check.

thanks guys!!

Enjoy the megabattle!

Got a question: Can a unit satisfy the requirements for more than one formation/datasheet?

For example, can one of the captains in the "Masters of the Chapter" formation also be the captain for the "Space Marine Battle Company"?

Fluff wise and rules wise it makes sense to me (as long as you follow all the deployment restrictions both of them place on you).

I'm uh, asking for a friend of mine....yeah....I'm totally not going to field that. Nor am I talking about any other possible datasheet combinations.

[Lykosan]

As much as I would like to say no, I can't see it in the rules for DataSheets that says you can't. But just remember the restriction this would Impose on yourself as well.

DataSheets, to deploy a DataSheet the entire thing has to go down at once if you run out of time during deployment the entire Datasheet is taken off of the table and put into reserves. This also mens you may NOT deploy half the Datasheet and keep the other half in reserve, everything in it goes down at once or none of it at all.

Datasheets count as a SINGLE reserve choice no matter how many units are in a particular datasheet. For your Example there Mike that means if in Reserve you have the Masters of the Chapter and the Battle Company with the Captain in both you would not be able to have them utilize the Carefull Planning asset you get from the company until your second turn if they are both your only things in reserve. This is because you Have 2 'Units' in reserve and can only bring up to half of your units in on turn one with Carefull Planning and then you may bring the rest of your reserves in on turn 2. The captain would need to be deployed at the same time as BOTH datasheets are deployed.

That stement of Datasheets goes for everyone since every year I have had to remind a bunch of people how datasheets work in reserve and deployment.

[Chase]

A given model should only count towards one datasheet, not multiple.

[the_trooper]

There is a restriction.   Ill dig it up and post it.

[Lykosan]

I would like to propose the Following for the DE Units of the Razorwing Jetfighter and the Voidraven Bomber.

Voidraven Bomber: Counted as a Flyer/Skimmer and gains the Immpossible Manoeuvres rule.

Razorwing Jetfighter: +10 pts Counted as a Flyer/Skimmer and gains the Immpossible Manoeuvres and Interceptor Rules. (The Ravens that I am tring to replace have both of these rules)


Immpossible Manoeuvres: Minimum of 18in to move as a Flyer instead of 36in (this is standard for every Eldar flyer)

Interceptor: When targeting other flyers the weapons count as being AA mounted.

Since GW will not address the issue of making units that seem as they should be flyers for other armies than the Imperium in Apoc here is my version. I am tring to replace my Raven Fighters which are strictly inferior to the new Jetfighters even if they are stuck in only skimmer mode. I am also not asking to be given Eldar Holofields on these vehicles since no DE only vehicle ever seems to get them.

Honestly, I can't not find and issue with the rules change Riley.  I have found a few instances of other apocalypse games that have allowed that rule change since the new codex came out and they felt its was a soon to be anounced white dwarf article.

Unless anyone else has a concern I think it should be a go ahead.  Mmmm, you should make your own data sheet with these rules posted on it so you can easily hand it to anyone that asks during the game.  It might save your voice and some time.

[Logan007]

I think it's fair to do that, but can Storm Ravens have a similar upgrade then?

[the_trooper]

Mike, I believe that is already in the new white dwarf.

[Logan007]

Mike, I believe that is already in the new white dwarf.

Oh cool, I'll have to pick it up then -- not for me, but my friend

[Lykosan]

Hence why I said all the Non-Imperial units. Sotrm Ravens in one of the white dwarfs was written as they should be treated as having the flyer/skimmer option in apoc, no where was that ever mentioned for any Xenos race.

 I might like to use the model I made last year as the special character.  It's a lord, the Necron Toxic Avenger, but it's on the bigger base that we painted white on the edge.  Would it be ok to use that this year?  I'd rather not re-base it because of some of the things I put on the base for looks.

Yup. That model is fine as is, Ron. Any issues that arise in-game about the base size and you can just call Chase or I over to settle it.

[GossWeapon]

Wow Rick James, you would jerk.

So posting my custom figures on here, along with some questions for custom rules sets.

So first Tigershark AX-1-0.



Second Tigershark AX-1-0, tried a few different things with this one.



Custom Remora Stealth Drone, complete with Seekers.



Also, rules questions. The Tau have a unit called the DX-42 Technical drone. There are technically no rules for this model outside of one data sheet (normally you can't field it at all, even with forgeworld rules). In the one data sheet the DX-42's have a normal Gundrone statline (without the guns, it's totally unarmed), if it is in base contact with a vehicle then it can repair a weapon destroyed result on a 5+ (The vehicles in the datasheet are immobile, which is why repairing immobilized results don't come up). I just wanted to propose letting Tau players use Technical drones for 20+ points a piece (in squads of 1) and repairing weapon destroyed or immobilized results on vehicles on a d6 roll of 5+.
