Here's a good one...

In AT-43 a unit of "Steel Troopers" cost 175 points.
Not too hard.
What makes it difficult is that unit is comprised of 6 models.
Still, not so hard.
Now, the challenge is, if you want to pick up a 7th model, he's gonna cost you 30 points.

:evil:

So, how do I make a 6 model unit that costs 175 points and when you add the 7th model it costs 205 points? And 235 for the 8th...

Remember, there are options that will cost per-model so the model count has to be maintained...this tripped me up.

I'm lost. Unless I'm just totally not remembering something simple :wink:

Thanks!

can you create a unit of single troopers n then cost them that way round adding them to the first unit as links?

you could even create a second squad of the troopers as unit with a cost per unit of 30 points, the overall model count will show properly??

You could always hide a -5 point option on the unit that's only applied once.

Okay, I went looking for the proper way to do this: A postlinks script:

@single = @single-5
~the cost is 5 less than it should be


You'll have to figure out what goes in the textcost field to show the user what it costs.

am not sure if the postlinks idea would work as it may then be applied to every model in the unit?

[Mathias]

That's what @single is for - it's only applied once. I did test the script, BTW.

@base would modify the base cost of every model.

When is AT-43 going to be ready in English?
