Custom Vehicle

Not a problem. I understand how work can stress you
out. I appreciate the help. The wording for Souped Up
Engine is rather unclear, but it makes sense now.
Thanks for clearing things up.

Incompetence. Based on the "Souped Up Engine" text, I stick by my
current modelling of it - otherwise, why have a Souped Up Engine upgrade
at all?

It isn't agile, I think.

Once is the 'vehicle upgrade' entry, the other time is the one from the
big list o' weapons.

The chart appears because the souped up engines entry says to refer to the
chart. It is there for your basic speed cost and the cost when you use
souped up engines.

=] hope this helps.

No, I think the error here is Colin's (no offence If the only
option to change the speed of a vehicle was to give it souped-up
engines, than this chart wouln't apper:

Cost Of Speed
The cost of the vehicles speed is found on the chart below, by
cross-referencing the vehicles size and speed.
Speed Small Normal War Machine
Immobile 0 0 0
Normal +5 pts +10 pts +20 pts
Lumbering +5 pts +10 pts +20 pts
Agile +10 pts +15 pts +30 pts
Fast +10 pts +20 pts +40 pts
Flyer +40 pts +40 pts +40 pts


> That is why you can't make a walker fast or a tank agile.

why can't you... it seems rather simple to make an agile eldar/dark
eldar tank... or what happens of you wanted to build a void phantom (the
eldar scout titan)....

Colen, (chuckle) you thought the Marine Scout Seargent and the sniper
rifle was bad... this sounds much, MUCH worse. Good Luck!
I'm glad it's you and not me! <*grin*>

Russell.

Oh, sorry.

Staff incompetence would be my bet...

I would agree with the "all the points costs are in a table, you can
choose what you want" school of thought, but for one thing - there's a
table you consult to find out how fast your vehicle is. E.g., Normal +
Tank = normal, War Machine + Walker = Lumbering, etc.
