When one of the Adeptus Sororitus' most faithful heroes falls in battle, if their body is recovered before they fully die, very rarely, they are restored with a combination of genetic and cybernetic enhancements. So 'resurrected' and given a new purpose, these warriors are given a new suit of Battle Armor, that is as much an Icon of the Ecclesiarchy as it is a weapon of war. Armed with a sword and a flamer, the wearer of this armor is a visceral opponent, who kills her enemies up close. Often leaving raging fires in her wake, she is also completely immune to the heat, and will stride through walls of flame to claim her victims. Capable of full flight, there is little on the field that she can not hunt down.

Amazing stuff as always :)

[Cryhavok101]

Thanks! I just wish it would give the price/BV for a single suit, but the program won't go under 4 (c-bill and bv are the two things I am not willing to do by hand).

Some artwork (link below) depicts this flying high in the atmosphere, with it clearly having the ability to fly, I decided VTOL movement matched it's performance closest to how it works on the ground, where you see it the most. I almost made it fixed-wing, but this vehicle also has the ability to just hover in one spot, so I felt this was more appropriate.

The Tau Empire's primary Scout and Recon vehicle, the piranha also excels at anti-infantry harassment. Though it does suffer from having incredibly light armor and an open crew compartment, these often operate in groups of up to 5, which is enough to cause a considerable amount of damage to even dug in infantry.

For anyone who thinks representing this as something that outright flies isn't quite accurate, I will direct them to the picture on the model's box: http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/1/10/Piranhaspeed.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130220055358

The Imperium's Space Marine's recon vehicle. One of the fastest ground vehicles made by mankind, capable of hitting 350+ kph. It's light weapons can be a danger to infantry and light vehicles, however it's fragility makes it poorly suited to stand up fights, instead relying on evasion.


Like the space marine bike, this has the quasi-legal addendum that I have it crewed by battle armor, by paying for the space for them and for the normal crew. completely legal table top use of these would actually have a normal crew of 2 and 2 battle armor passengers. As usual, the design is legal, it is how I am proposing it is used that isn't.

I always loved that picture because I can never figure out why the driver isn't using the main gun and is instead shooting his bolt pistol..

I know right! Half the pictures I was choosing from had the driver shooting his bolt pistol.

[Daemion]

Well the problem for me lies in design. Many of the factors involved in designing a structure is based on the size of the building measured in hexes.

Y'know, there's your answer right there. Something as large as the Imperator Titan (56 meters give or take according to the wiki) will have a multi-hex footprint, much like a mobile structure or DropShip. I personally would say a 4-hex total area with a 3-wide, 2-deep center set-up. You can have each building hex be a different structure with its own function instead of one single structure.

Then, define which of the center hexes is used to determine facing and movement - like the forward center, and give the appropriate heights for the various elements, and you're good to go.

Besides, I've seen proposals of using a 'leg' motive system for mobile structures more than once in regards to drop-ship sized superheavy Mechs or 'titans'.

• Dire Avengers use the Firedrake Support Needlers to simulate their avenger shuriken catapults, with the squad leader having 2.
• Fire Dragons use inferno SRMs to simulate the fusion blasters. I was going for performance over imagery with this one, as infernos are some of the best tank killers out there for this kind of weight, and battletech doesn't really have much that is even close to the melta weapons in 40k, so this seemed appropriate to me.
• Howling Banshees are basically useless against Armored targets, but their quad sonic stunners simulating their signature banshee howl allow them to be devastating close quarters combatants in the RPG
• Swooping hawks seem self explanatory to me, with everything on them fitting nicely into analogue roles.

The Enigmatic Eldar, a nomadic starfaring race, despised by the Imperium, who make widespread use of numerous stylized battle armors. Called Aspect Warriors, the stylization often indicates how the warrior prefers to fight, with the suits highly specialized for that method of attack. The eldar are known for being able to deploy these specialists rapidly to wherever the most critical place for them to be is at.These are some of the swiftest bipedal battle armors in existence, each capable of reaching a swift 40 kph on foot, and even leaping 30 meters under their own power. This list is the lighter variations the Eldar use

• Added Light TAG and searchlight to Dark Reaper to fill space and make LRM a bit more effective
• Heavy Vibro Claw and Superheavy bearhunter AC representing the Scorpion's Claw, and the AP mounts represent the mandiblasters
• Jumpjets, space ops adaptation, and cutting torch representing warp jump pack
• Cybernetic Augmentations representing the not-really-alive-ness of the wraithguard

These are the heavier aspect armors. Each of these is a Medium Battle armor. Slower than the light aspect armors, but generally much deadlier, and harder to kill. As the light armors are, so to are these: highly stylized, and specialized for specific roles.

The Wraithguard, not considered aspect warriors by the eldar, are included here because they are essentially life support systems for their fallen warriors to continue the fight, and often those fallen are aspect warriors. One of their toughest battle armors regularly seen. They are often accompanied by an attendant who is often the squad's leader, though this attendant rarely has battle armor of their own.

Space Marine Standard Construction Template: Light Vehicle

The Imperium's space marines use a standard template as the chassis for the majority of the vehicles in their arsenal. Not true omnivehicles, these units never-the-less carry many of the same parts, with often the only differences being the precise loadout. Some have turrets, and some carry troops.

Tau Fighter Craft

The Tau use a Caste system, like the clans, only they are divided very differently. In the Tau's case, the Air Caste covers the same role that Clan Aerospace Phenotypes would. Meanwhile the Fire Caste covers the equivalent of Mechwarrior and Elemental Phenotypes, filling the ground troops, battlesuit pilots, vehicle crews and even marines. Below are some of the smallest vehicles used by the Air Caste to defend the Tau Empire and push it's boundaries ever further.

The most powerful tank available to the standard army of the Imperium, the Baneblade is a weapons platform even mechs are wary of.

It's Turret Artillery is accompanied by a coaxial HVAC used to aid in targeting with tracer rounds. On the front is a devastating Long Tom Cannon and a dual light machine gun array for tank and infantry hunting. The sides mount a large chemical laser and another dual light machine gun array in sponsons. Vehicular Smoke Grenade Launchers and over 700 points of armor provide all around protection. Comm equipment allow it to act as a command vehicle. It's largest weakness is it's lack of speed, going only 25 kph.

I know. I think the one I posted is a kitbash, but it fits the UAC's I was using to represent the Twin linked cannons better, so I ran with it... but I will change to that image, because you are right.

Eldar Tanks
The Eldar combat doctrine is all about using mobility to apply the right tool to fix any problem. They use undecipherable methods to predict when, where, and how they will be attacked and prepare for it ahead of time, but also prepare to react to the circumstances of a changing battlefield. This has led their military to utilize the highly mobile Wing in Ground Effect vehicles over traditional tracked armor. Their vehicles are also universally much lighter than their contemporary enemy's, however this sometimes allows them to replace losses much easier. There is a joke in the Imperium, despite their own overwhelming numbers of armor, that goes, "Do Eldar vehicles grow on trees?"

C3i Computer (IS)               BD
ECM Suite                       BD
While I think the rest of these are self explanatory, I wanted to point out what I was thinking with the Fire Prism. The Laser Pulse module lets the ER Large Laser choose between firing as a pulse laser, which is better for groups of infantry than a normal laser, and it's standard firing mode. That allows it to simulate the alternate modes of the Prism Cannon. The C3i computer allows fire prisms to link up and "combine fire", which works differently in battletech than how prism cannons normally work, but is the only way I could think of to get it so they could combine fire at all.

[marauder648]

I'd probably give the Eldar some form of Stealth armour on their tanks as well for their advanced holofields etc.

[Cryhavok101]

The holofields are options, not standard, in the latest codex I have (it's old, very old), any my application of optional gear on vehicles in this thread has been, and will probably continue to be limited to filling extra space on designs that need to use up tonnage.

That being said, I gave the Fire Prism an ECM suite specifically for that, intending it to be used to produce Sensor Ghosts, which seems like something similar to what holofields do, if not quite the same.

It's stuff like this that makes me wonder how Battletech's weight works-the Atlas actually isn't that much shorter than the Warhound, but yet weighs 310 tons less. Kind of reinforces the thought that Battletech's weight is abstract, and thus not really 100=100 tons.

Um, the Warhound is practically half-stooped, with a long side profile, putting a lot of its mass in regions the Atlas just doesn't occupy. For that matter, most sculpts of atlases I've seen put it back into the 12 meter range, rather than the 15 to 20 most people want. (I'm one who likes the shorter, squatter version.)


Now, back to conversions - a question: I'm sure you're not too concerned with how things perform in the 40k games, but, a lot of the heavy weaponry the infantry carry in the 40k setting is quite capable of of OSKing any single tank. With BattleTech's form of HP tracking, this is generally not possible unless someone hits the lucky crit location and roll's high enough to do the trick.

Do you have anything in mind to address this? Like, is the transition of performance something that comes with whatever universe properties come from misjumping to the BTu from the 40ku? Or is it really a non-issue?

[Cryhavok101]

That is something I considered at first, but with the differences in how the games work, it just isn't feasible without sacrificing everything else that makes those vehicles 'feel' right. Also I have to point out that the only place I recall many of the weapons that can one shot kill a tank, is on the table top. It doesn't happen often in the lore, or in any of the video games. All in all, I am not terribly concerned over that discrepancy.

[Daemion]

Cool. That works for me. It doesn't help that in BT very few weapons can OSK a lot of weapons without getting lucky, anyway. Although, if you want to get the tabletop feel, I can think of simply reverting back to the BMR and older rule-sets vehicle crit table. In fact that crit table matches the glancing hit table for TableTop 40k tanks, anyway.

Otherwise, it's a different 40k universe, which works for me.

[Cryhavok101]

Well, if you want to get 100% technical, any weapon could potentially cause a one hit kill, if it got a certain to-hit result giving them a crit check, followed by certain critical results, like crew killed. It's just a much, much lower chance of happening than the relatively easy kills in the 40k tabletop, and there are some things that can prevent it (like ferro-lamellor armor).

Nice vehicles

[Black_Knyght]

I suddenly have a desire to get my hands on some Epic Warhammer 40K mini's.

Wonder what happened with those, or where you'd get them now?

[Black_Knyght]

(I'm one who likes the shorter, squatter version.)

Yeah, for all the futzing around they've done with the various versions of the Atlas, the stocky, squat original sculpt is still BY FAR THE BEST too, in MY opinion.
