Whispercutter WIP #2

Thinking about simplifying the precision infiltration rule to 1d6 scatter and giving it something like "Twin Linked Stalker Cannon". Shoots silent shells to take out guards and equipment at range.

Maybe 36" S5 or 6 AP4 Heavy 2 Haywire Twinlinked. Or a special rule that grants it haywire against AV12 or less. Maybe only against demo objectives?

Anyway here's wonderwa-I mean some pics.

Whispercutter Kitbash WIP

SO I found an unused Taurox on a sprue in my bitz collection and decided to start my own Whispercuter. The idea is that the back most panel is a ramp, that also has a fast rope cable as well.

Debating if I want to leave the wings off on all but the sarge...

Whispercutter Homebrew Rules

 Ever since reading about them I've always wanted them on the table top. Here are some experimental homebrew rules for them:


Whispercutter
Elites 50 points

AV10 HP2

  • Skimmer
  • Open Topped
  • Stealth
  • Open Frame
  • Precision Infiltration
  • Deep Strike

Transport Capacity: 10

Open Frame: May transport jump infantry, counting as one model instead of the usual two for capacity. May not transport models in terminator armor.

Precision Infiltration: If held in reserves no reserve rolls are made for this unit. Instead at the beginning of any of the controlling players turns, including the first, the controlling player may have it enter play following the normal rules for entering from reserves. During the turn it enters play, enemy units may only fire snapshots when using interceptor. If still in reserves at the start of turn 5 it comes on automatically.

Dedicated Transport for Mor Deythan, Strike Captain Maun.
