[BTSS] Re: How to make SOB popular!

The shooting rules for the Chimera are much more favorable, the Repressor as it is isn't really as good as a Rhino under many circumstances. One special weapon only? Really? Who cares how many bolters can fire? The point is to improve the SoB.

Necromunda models are not OOP; they are available from direct-order.

Sentinels aren't transports.

Your option two sounds very cool, but man you'd need either alot of OOP Necromunda minis, or maybe just convert some Bretonnian peasants and give them lasguns, shotguns, etc. As for your light assault vehicle, somebody did an article for Cityfight that was a cut down Chimera which he used to create light tanks and used Sentinels as the rules.

We make them OP (over powered) or ROP (really over powered). The best way I can see to make this happen would be to allow Domions as troop units, this would give 6 MSU with transports and preacher to scout about the table in teams popping vehicles and flaming troops. Any other thoughts on how to make SOB over the top WIN WIN?
