BFG FAQ 2010 Ordnance Questions

[Sigoroth]

The value asymptotically approaches 2, so it's more like 2 times rather than 1.9 times. Yes, it is slightly more "bookkeeping" but no more than keeping track of which ships have moved and fired. It's also better than having to adjust ship values. It's fine for the Eldar Eclipse, since that ship is overpriced, but not for the other Eldar ships, let alone Tau.

How about

Attack Craft Marker Size.
Either 2cm x 2cm or 1cm x 4cm (since the cardboard/printout markers are 2x2cm but the blister comes with 1cm x 4cm)

I'm wondering, how strict are you guys when it comes to this rule? Personally I prefer to either use rectangle bases (1x4 cm) or even round ones.

A little bit of necromancy, for some short Questions

1) what is the correct price of an Avenger grand cruiser?
The profile in armada lists it at 220p, the segmentum obscurus list at 200p.

And i haven't found any clarification in the FAQ, but probably I just missed it.
200p seems more reasonably to me, if compared to the Vengeance, but I just want to be sure.

2) what are the exact wespon-configuration of the different cruisers?

I think it is:
Vengeance: the (Chaos) single-Lance-turrets on Top. The "double-battery-with-four-guns"-Strip bottom
Exorcist: Chaos-battery(?) on Top, imperial Hangars bottom.
Avenger: Chaos Battery(?) on top, imperial Battery (?- looks a bit odd on the armady-Picture) bottom.

Am i correct?

3) Why is the upper deck designed with a 4x2 Lance layout, when no official class uses it? Is this just a "recycled" upper deck from a desolator?

Heya,

1) The Avenger is 200pts but on earth I need to find an old FAQ...

2/3) do you mean how to build the models?

[Eldanesh]

Hi.
Thanks for the Quick reply.

I just looked up the 2010 FAQ and dind't find anything in the Imperial section.

2/3: Yes.

I got my hands on an old grand cruiser model (in bad shape, but nothing that can't be fixed with glue, craft knive, key maker file, green stuff and the proper sacrifice to Khorne^^)

I think I rebuild it as Vengeance (I miss the Chaos-Batterys for the other variants, and it also seems to me the most flexible/potent Configuration)

Yeah, I know, the FAQ2010 dropped that line. So I'll delve into some older material.
edit: scrolling through the discussions thread it seemed 200points is the correct one but they omitted it from the FAQ.

As for choosing the Vengeance: yes, it is a really good vessel and rounded.

As for modelling them: think you are right.
This is how Vaaish put the Vengeance together:
