Rules on Orbital Mines
« on: April 27, 2011, 11:26:23 PM »
I was hoping someone could clarify the rules in the Armada Book regarding Orbital Mines costs.

I want to mount them on a Dark Eldar cruiser. Thats 250 points already.

Now the DE Cruiser has 1 launch bay of strength 4 so my question is would this cost an extra 5 points because it is 1 launch bay, or 20 points?

2nd question is how many mines are launched. Is it 1 per launch bay or 1 per point of strength?

So to summarise:
How many points to take Mines?
How many Mines do I get to launch? Edit: I actually found the answer to this. Its 4.

I already know that the mines get the dark eldar stealth ordenance rule so are only hit on 6s. Makes it a lot more likely to get the 8 hits on the enemy.

Shameless bump I know but still need to know how many points this upgrade would cost.
