Hi to all,

May someone tell me clearly how to use the landspeeder of the Space Marines side in Black Reach?

Why i cannot use its plasma gun while standing still and why its template is showed only on the "moving side"?

Thanks.

In warhammer 40k lore the land speeder does not "land" at all, like helicopters do… Instead, it is an antigrav vehicule which has its weaponry put on sponsoons on its sides or facing towards ita frontal part, on the side of the pilot or manned by the pilot himself… So… The icons and way to use the landspeeder depicted in heroes of black reach seems totally nonsense in my opinion.

In addiction, it has one hit point only… And what happens when or if it suffers a good hit? Since it cannot be turned upside down to show its "wreckage side"… How can players depict the fact it is now a destroyed/disabled vehicule?

It must be simply put aside/out of the table? Or what?

You are looking at this the wrong way, but I think that is an understandable error because the section "The Effect of a Hit" (HoBR rules, p.09) is a bit misaligned.

There are two icons defined in that section.

Icon #1 is a skull surrounded by a solid ring. The definition of that symbol is:

If a target with this symbol is Hit, that Unit is Destroyed and removed from the game

That is the symbol for a "1 Wound" unit — when hit is it removed.

Icon #2 is a skull surrounded by two semi-circular arrows. This is the symbol that appears on all 2-wound infantry and most (not all) light vehicles. That symbol's definition is:

If a target with this symbol is Hit, that Unit counter is flipped over. If the target is an infantry Unit, it is not Destroyed.

If a Light Vehicle is Hit, it is Destroyed. The Vehicle Counter is flipped over and becomes a Wreck Terrain Element.

They key point to understand is: it is the icon, not the type of unit, that determines what happens to the Unit when it is hit.

– If the Unit has Icon #1, it is destroyed.

– If the Unit has Icon #2, then the unit is always flipped over, and that is when a vehicle becomes a wreck.

The Attack Bike exists in HoBR as 25-point recruitment option.

The "trike", I know… But I meant the single seater ones, you know?
