what do you think

When you say up do you mean AP4 to AP3, or AP4 to AP5.....

I dont really like it but i dont like many made up units/wargear so that might be just me.....Its kind of cheap to nids....

cheers! brak

ap4 to ap3 and I did say inprove so that this confusion would not happen

later i wil post spider missiles

i dont think tau need much more help against nids to be honost....

Who can take these weapons??

sorrey i forgot that

these can be taken by crises suits only

and I came up with these ideas be foir the new codex

i think you need more details such as points value, i personally think the weapon would be fine but loose the "stronger against nids" rule

it now has been edited

Without the 'Stringer against 'Nids' rule taken out its now quite a nifty little gun. I'm not at all familiar with the Tau Codex, but assuming that Crisis Suits can be taken in squads, give one a Spider Cannon each. They'd be pretty darn effective against 'Nids, Eldar, Guard and Orks anyway.


Cheers, Cal

it is good now for the fun stuff

spider missils

these were the first incarnation of the spider weaponry several bilion of the nano bots
are contand in a one bullet now imagen a missile the size of a huntere killer with this technology and you have the spider missile
range s ap type
36 6 4 heavy/blast1
these missiles are one shot only and can only be taken once per army and can be

monted on a hamer head gunship
or a moreay(something i will introduce you all to later)

coolness. If I were you though I'd make the missile S7 just for being a missile.

BTW, if you want your stats to line up properly, put them in a quote.

EG:

EDIT: You'll just have to check your post afterwards, and may need to edit it a few times to get them to line up. You'll see what I mean. ;)

tonight i will put the spider rifle up simerla to the rest but it has a few special rules

Sweeet ........... Just one question though, do you play tau??

:D Brak

yes and if any one else dose please go to my topic in the tau board

the spider rifle was first designed to give the parth finders a better more relyable weapon over the rail rifle.
useing the same rounds as found in the spider cannon the bug gun as it is know buy the imperials was very good at assanating enemy leaders

the spider gun may be used by parthfinders and costs 25 points
range s ap type
36___6 4 _heavy2/pining
this may only be taken once per army

that is all the uses for the spider weapon technology that i can think of

about tau, y don't they make a special character that's a vespid?
THat would rule

neco mayby that shoul go in a different topic

True, but it still would be pretty cool.....

yeah if any one has a idea for spider weaponry just put it in this topic and i will right it up ok

well first of all can we get fast reply turnt on here.

second, not bad at all, the nano-bot filled weaponry is quite good because its like most GW fluff, open ended, all it takes is a different type of nano bot and you can effectivly change the weapon

that is true
