Unfortunately (from what I have been able to gleam from it) the interactive VDR is based on the old 2000 (original VDR) rules series and since the update and the inclussion of the FAQ's into the newer version...there are several loopholes that the interactive doesn't cover up very well...although the model sounds like it'll be awesome...
Second I need to check the '04 VDR...don't think flyers qualify as warmachines...thus you'd lose the structure points...Will check it out and get back to you...also twin linking and co-axial are NOT the same...one is an extra shot while the other is a re-roll of a missed shot...in effect twin linking them only gives you four shots with a re-roll...where as co-axial gives you eight shots...and Heroka is correct...co-ax is ALWAYS a different weapon...one of the loopholes fixed in the newer version of the VDR
Third I agree that perhaps having four twin linked Prisms is a bit much...think of the recoil...and if it moves you'ld only be able to fire two?...will have to check that out as well...and of course it couldn't stand still as a flyer not moving = crashed vehicle under the flyer rules...LMAO dead on the first straffing run...
Fourth...I believe there is a preset armor value you HAVE to allow for your vehicle...depending on race and size...it may just be max allowable armor, but am not sure as it's been a while since I drug em out and went through em verbatum...so again will check it and get back to you...
Fifth I, personally, don't feel it as a viable inclusion for the simple fact that modeling it effectively would be a bigger headache than anything else...albiet the points are in line with say a titan...it would have to be a rather large model to accomodate the weapons systems you are proposing...not to mention the modifications to the wings and such to allow for the weight of the model itself...I suppose it all depends on how you have envisioned the final model will appear...I am picturing something with multiple wings, like an x-wing fighter...I'll check the the rules and get back to you on the other stuff...till then keep yer fingers crossed... |
1st.. Crap, would it be more likely to have say 2x mounted on each wing? as the x-wing sounds much more appealing (eye wise) than what i had in mind.
2. would it be more well, realistic to have say 8 prism cannons? also, the nature of the Eldar flyers gives them VTOL capability. and you can throw skimmer on em for a further 40 pts.
Let me know.
