BFG:R Imperial Navy

++BFG:R Imperial Navy++

Besides the impending end of the Tyrant stat changing thread, does anyone else see changes that need to happen to the IN list before we call it "final?" 

The only I can think of at this point is to vote on a change to the nova cannon. Personally, the rules that BFG:R have at this current moment have worked well in our games. The D3 hits when on the base but not the stem has been a good change, and the ability to lock-on has actually made the NC more of an option for me as opposed to torpedoes.

I'm all in for BFG:R NC rules; makes scattering way less effective, but the improved direct fire makes up for it, IMO.
Poll it up Danny Boy! ;D

Now that, presumably, we will have the new NC rules set in stone, who's ready for a vote to finalize the IN document with the NC rules included (the Holofield/NC rules will be in the Holofield document).

To stab me in the eye? Seems like you have a bone to pick (I jest) ;D
But seriously I completely see why you prefer to keep things simple; easier to adjucate. I just think sometimes a slighly liberal approach can yield strong results too!

Wasn't referring to you, just aiming at the pdf. lol  ;D


Dan, some note:
Retribution mentions in the stats: prow torpedo salvo -- Imperial Torpedoes. Other vessels have just the standard: prow torpedoes -- 30cm.
It is incosistent. Some have it as Retribution, some as standard. I prefer standard layout for all.

AvengerDid anyone ever test this variant? I know the standard one is crap but this one seems pretty cool now...

TyrantWhere is the new profile!

Armegeddon list
List mentions Space Marines escorts & Vessels. But these ships are not in the document. Iffy.

Problem here is we're either including this, or putting a blurb in the SM document, which is jsut messy or IN players.

@ThaneAquilon Speaking of eye stabbing, apparently it's not just Sigoroth who is unleashing the retinal assault anymore I see.

I am thinking we could link the documents, keeping all Loyalist factions (IN, AdMech, SM) in one document. Keeps it simple to reference.

Oh hold on, what about inquisition/rogue trader?

@talos that seems like it could work, like the xenos document GW puts out.

Id say just put in the Armageddon list that they may select ships from the codex asteres list, similar to how bakka can take admech as battlecruisers.

What about bakka? Are we just abandoning it? Also what about the commanders? Is IN getting a special char or keeping rath, Point costs?
I don't make the rules, I just think them up and write them down.

They were voted out in the original voting and the Sword was put back in.

I was thinking we could vote on Bakka separately because it is generally held to need more work. Plus, it's a lot of changes ass opposed to Bastion vs Armageddon, for example.

I will get to work on these things. Mainly, the vote is about the rules and that sort of stuff. I will put the Tyrant stats in right now and fix the other stuff you mentioned.
