Hello Mortis and the rest of the gang ,
I have been looking at Tau For Space Crusade and have come up with some rule ideas I'd like to share : see the attached .txt file.
Tua_in_Space_Crusade.txtThe file contains 2 new Equipment cards and there expanded rules. Along with a Tua leader ranking like the one usd for the Space Marine Sargent.
I found the stat line for the Rail Rifel too
4th ed
Rail Rifel Range: 36"; Str: 6; AP: 3; Type: Heavy 1, Pinning .
Deathwatch Mark of xeose RPG
Rail Rilfel Type: Heavy ; Range: 150m; ROF: S/_/_ ; Dam: 2d10 +10 I ; Pen: 9 ; Clip: 16; Rld: Full;
Specail : Devistating (1), Overheats.
I would class the Heavy Support XV88 Broadside Battale suit as the Dreadnought unit for Space Crusade, as this is the only one of the Heavy units able to be moved inside a Space Hulk. That is when you consider the GunShips as options. For them to be usable The Space Hulk would need to be the size of .... ooooo say Bristal or maybe a small moon.
May be they can be used for the Titan games. Or Plante strike.
Anyways let me know what you all think of my ideas the one in the .txt file. I can look into working out the profiles for Kroot , Kroot hounds, and Vespids.
One point about the troop types the Tau warriors would be basic troop types in my mind and not the fast attack pathfinder team. At least not straight away. If you look at SC the basic units were SM and SM sargent. The Exotic Terminators and wizardy Librains were not introdused untill the WD expantion missions in WD 145 Blue cover.
I would consider the Kroot, Kroot Hounds, and Optional: Vespids new Ailens for the Alian Player and Tua speace Renforcmet group. Read my rules and card for more info. This is becase To every one apart from the Tua and infact Even the Tua them selfs the Kroot are aliens and or possible hostila threats.
Remember The Tau did not appear untill WH40K 3rd ed, and SC took place in and around the time of WH40k 1sted.
Who knows what they were doing back or possible forawrds then. ... We only have the accounts of some SM chaplin and the translations of the Tau. As we all know the Zoat had disspard by 3rd ed and the UN got finished off meleana before Big Brain on the Goldnd Crapper took command of the masses..
So the translations might not be accuate.
Consider the film Mars Attacks : Peace .... Zap zap poor Pidgens...
[I will not say any more I don't want to spoil the film anyone who has not seen it yet..]
At that point the Kroot may well not have fully trused or teamed up with the Tau and there Graeter Good.
For The Greater Good ! [ I keep thinking of the Film HOT FUZZ. hee hee]
Enjoy yoursefs mee harrtiees,
