Unit Stats Trwyth

[dassenkop]

This part of the forum was still open so thought I post some unit stats in here for comment.

I've been working on some stats for a primitive race which is focused on close assault tactics. I intend to balance their lack of ranged weapons by giving them several perkz. I don't think the 10 pts reflect the builder rules so forget that number for the moment. Not sure this will work. I haven't tested them yet.

Over time the Swarm perk will be removed and replaced by the Ultimate Agility perk to reflect improved tactics and leadership.



From what I understand from the rules you can build a Gruntz squad using a specialist as basis and combining the builder points for the a single specialist into a 6 men squad. I wanted to have 2 perkz so had to use the specialist builder as basis.

What are you using to make your unit cards with? I like their look.

There is a unit builder program for Gruntz in the making and this is the result of 1 of the earlier versions.

I don't know what the status is but I noticed someone posting a generic card in the Yahoo newsgroup today. This might work just as well if you are looking for something to use while the program is further developed.

I just noticed...if this is a unit of Specialists, 6 strong, the unit cost will be 60 (10 pts x 6 models). If you buy this up to 10 models, it will cost 100 pts (I think?).

Just noticing that you only used the Specialist's ability to buy 2 Perks; that these are just "Gruntz" but a little cooler.

Using the cost concept on p. 34 under Perks and applying it to a Gruntz squad, the second Perk is going to cost an additional 5 points. With the 1 perk and stats as written, your unit does cost 10 points. Add in 3 for Swarm and 5 for the 2nd Perk cost, divided by 2, and now your squad costs 14 for 10 models. That's how I'd look at it.

That's the idea. An you are right about the cost. I wasn't able to find the time to do the math so that's still on my to do list.
