XV88-2 BROADSIDE

SHAS'O R'MYR'S BATTLESUIT

XV81 CRISIS BATTLESUIT

XV84 CRISIS BATTLESUIT

XV89 CRISIS BATTLESUIT

thanks for the info.

Sorry can't do. copyright issue.

You'll have to wait in September, once you have your book in hand.

Unfortunately, we can't provide the full rules online without violating GW's IP policy. :-\

But for the most part, their rules are exactly what they look like. The XV88-2 Broadside has no special rules, the Markerlight variant has a normal Markerlight, and the SMS version has a normal Smart Missile System. The heavy-looking suit just has Iridium Armour. Forge World didn't really put much thought into how they would work, though, so they are not all that effective. Most people just buy them to use as normal commanders from the Codex.

R'Myr is pretty special. He has an excellent invulnerable save in close combat, and his Plasma Rifle is an Assault weapon rather than Rapid Fire. He also has the infantry equivalent of a Flechette Discharger.

Errm, isn't it a plasma rifle?

[khanaris]

Yes it is. Thanks for catching that.

Though, both the Markerlight and Smart Missile System variant may get more play time with 5ed. If it's true, to my understanding, that Jump and Jet-pack infantry get to fire heavy weapons as if they didn't move. I haven't had a chance to go down to a GW to get a sneak peak, so I don't know.

That's what I heard, the SMS will be a staple on my battlesuit commander if its true, won't get on with converting till I know for sure though. It'll open a nice new trick for our commander.

No kidding! Not to mention taking the Markerlight variant with Marker Drones to run around lighting things up. Not the cheapest way, but it'll be interesting. I'm with you on the SMS though.
