Slot 6 trade for a hero choice.

Remember you must take 2 Quartermasters to be able to select the equipment for your crew!

All the humans die easily, but with hunter (X), teleport and ATW you can make some nasty surprise attacks or take objectives.

I had 1 tie and 4 wins (one was a 3 player game) at the Danish Emporer's Pride event.

You could swap some of the crew with Edasii and give them Heavy Suits or Limix+dirty trick Loot to give em 3 gears.

Maybe the regenerate and Grenade Launcher seems too powerful.

That looks a great list. Pity I couldn't make it but it sounded like you had a lot of fun. Did you give all your human crewmen hunter x?

it's a tough crew to fight and caused my only loss in 5 games. Most players try to ignore the 2 heroes as they are virtually impossible to take down. Of course they in turn don't ignore you, so it's a limited strategy :-)
You basically need a rocket launcher and some luck to take them out. Imagine cloning the crew in a fight. Those 2 grenade launcher with regeneration could go on all day without killing each other.
Armor 6+ warrants exploding damage dice. Maybe not in the "keep rolling on 6's" but in a "6's allow for a critical hit test" kind of way.

[dijit80]

It's probably best to suppress the two heroes with some LRF fire and then concentrate on the mission and/or taking the rest of them out. Suppression is a neat way of dealing with tough enemy, even with Dr6 it only takes two greens with LRFs to neutralise them.

[cosworth]

Partially true. Of course the genade launcher would hide behind cover. He doesn't even need line of sight, but let's assume he's visible to the LRF crew but in cover. It takes 9 shots to ensure a Dr6 guy stays suppressed AND you have to do that every turn AFTER the suppressed unit has activated to keep him down. Not so easy I think

[mobo]

They are great suppressors themselv. -6 suppression, cover only counts if it is above...

[dijit80]

Yes I think grenade launchers firing indirect are little cheesy. It's occured to me thata crew with as many 'heavies' as possible with grenade launchers would be very nasty.

[dijit80]

There must be some simple way of dealing with hiding grenade launchers. I'm guessing it was your crew that won the campaign weekend mobo?

An Edasii heavy with rocket launcher, smart weapons and Rapid Reloader? Maybe with Trap, Covering Fire or Out of Ammo Dirty Tricks?

[mobo]

My crew didn't lose. We just tested out the rules, so wouln't say that I won.

I guess you could take him out with another Heavy guy with Rocket Launcher. It got better range. Traps doesn't have high enought damage as far as I recall?

[Scorpio]

Stragglers on the slow guy, make him have a nice long walk into the fight.

Mind Control, make him work for you, maybe he can help take out that Captain guy.

[mobo]

He is not that slow? MA3, 3 activations?

Or did you mean the Tank? he has a teleporter

Mind control is 12" range right

[beyer]

you forgot to write the small stature on your captain. Hope you didn't forget it when you fought with him.

Or was shot at, rather.

[mobo]

No, he got the -1 to hit.

Chort seem quite powerful, +1m and -1 to hit. +2 to get out of cc.

[beyer]

The movement increase is especially effective on high AP models.
(again, this is very much the same as Dark Age)
Melee guys of elite or veteran quality will get a long way from regular movement rather than sprinting and can bob and weave behind cover, rather than move in straight lines, and the -1 to hit is effectively a cloaking field. If the hero type and the chosen gear is right, I think Chort are very efficient ninjas.

[Cilionelle]

Chort, Cybernetic legs and Gravbelt? M 6? Hidden deployment? 18" charge? Sweet!
