In first edition, this cost 8 points. rebelminis.com/dwwarma.html Under the second-edition army building rules, I'm guessing this is: Monstrous troop type (5)
+1 Fearless
+1 Long Ranged
+0 Monstrous (free with troop type)
+2 Shooting II
+1 Spellcaster
= 10 points? I assume it is now Shooting II, since there is no Shooting III; and it has to pay for both levels of Shooting since it is not an archer troop-type. The stats would go down to 5 Fighting/2 Support from 6 Fighting/4 Support, unless there's a rule on paying for that. And maybe shave off a point because it is slow? 3" instead of 4" for Monstrous? |

Bill, you pay one point for each level upgrade. You would add three points to keep it's stats the same as in the old edition. |

But it has 5 upgrades, right? |

Yes I agree with your assessment. Rather pricey unit.. |

Five upgrades sounds right. However, I was discussing with my friend how to write up Battle Wagons and we thought that rather than Monstrous, as they are big but not the size of a giant, that a maybe starting with a Chariot, giving it Shooting 1, Shooting 2, Long Range(?), and Fearless would suffice.
For the dwarf war machine, I can see it as artillery, paying extra for but more movement, and maybe something like Rampager or maybe paying one point for the magic Bind ability to represent a enemy unit being shocked and awed by the machine, would quantify it pretty well.
What do you think? |
