Come take a look at the latest Chapter Approved rumor that is claiming to be an early look at Vehicle Design Rules, and how you can design your own.
Another day, and another Faeit rumor. This time their sources are claiming to have inside information on the upcoming Chapter Approved Vehicle Design Rules (VDR) rules.
This is a rumor so make sure you add a plenty of salt, and by salt we mean is it:
via Sources on Faeit
The section is for Land Raiders only and creates a Transport Capacity or TC. For your Land Raiders this is determined by the primary weapon choice. For example 2 twin lascannons grant a TC of 10, 2 Hurricane Bolters grants a 16 and two Flamestorm cannons a 12.
From there you can take secondary weapons including hull mounted weapons. These subtract from your TC, and have options that include Imperium only, Space Wolves only -helfrost cannon- and Chaos only choices. Most of these options reduce the TC by 5 or 0. Most secondary sponson weapons have a -5.
Wargear is available as well, but does not affect your TC, and whatever is left over is gives you the Transport Capacity for your Land Raider.
There are also special abilities that are determined whether your Land Raider is imperium or chaos, like daemonic machine spirit or machine spirit.
There are no point cost values for making your Land Raider, as its for Open Play. A blank datasheet comes with the book.
This rumor claims to be an inside look at the new VDR rules, but given the source we highly recommend you don’t take it as 100% truth. The rumor states that the Transport Capacity of a Land Raider is determined by your weapon load out, something just doesn’t seem right about that. Take two twin lascannons and you get a TC of 10, or two hurricane bolters grants you a 16 TC. But if you decide to take a secondary weapon those will in turn take away from your TC. So depending on the weapons outside the vehicle it will determine how much space you have inside the vehicle. Once again, we highly recommend you tread lightly on this rumor.
Once we find out more on the Chapter Approved VDR we’ll be sure to let you know, but for now here is a look at how the rules USED to work:
What do you think about the latest rumor? Do these sound believable? Or is it simply another rumor that will not amount to anything? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
