Custom Vehicle

Two things:

1) I think I figured out why you can't recreate the
cost of the Berzerker Dreadnought from the White
Dwarf. I'm guessing that Graham used the cost of
twin-linked Boltguns from the Chaos list (5 points),
insted of making a twin-linked Boltgun from the new
rules (3 points). That explains the 2 point
difference.

2) In Army Builder, is it possible to adjust the speed
setting for vehicles? I was trying to recreate the
Dark Eldar vehicle, and couldn't change the speed from
Normal to Fast. Did I just miss something obvious?

I ran into this too, I was trying to make a tank agile, and the only
speed option I got fast.

To increase a vehicles speed, you give it the souped up engines ability,
look under that heading and you will find that walkers and war machines that
take this option are then counted as being Agile. Tanks and other things
(except immobile of course) become Fast.

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


To make a tank (the dark eldar one your talking about) fast, you must make
it either a tank or light vehicle. Then when you give it souped up engines,
it will make the vehicle fast.


Hope this helps,
TP

----> Lumbering Vehicles and Walkers can become Agile with a souped
up engine. Everything else gets fast with a souped up engine.


that's only with souped up engines, there's a points chart for giving
vehicles their speed (Agile: small +10 pts; normal +15 pts; war
machine +30 pts - or something like that)

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

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)....

I understand the Souped-up Engine concept, having read
the article in White Dwarf. But there's also a Cost of
Speed chart that allows you to set a vehicles speed,
based on it's size. The Dark Eldar Rampage, from the
article, is a Light (or Small) Fast vehicle. According
to the chart, this should be +10 points.

Souped-up Engines are only for Lumbering Vehicles and
Walkers, not other vehicles.
