The Forge [2E]: Robotech: Monster - Artillery Destroid Mecha

[HustlerOne]

Hello! I guess introductions are in order. I love everything mecha and I plan to convert some in the future. Anything to do with vehicles, mecha, and, giant robots. I'm only a casual player of mutants and masterminds so any constructive criticisms are welcome. I have to say that Mutants and masterminds is a great system for its simplicity and versatility. I also have mecha and manga. Now if I can only get my hands on HeroLabs.

[HustlerOne]

Now what would space marines be without any adversaries? The next faction is a personal favorite of mine. I'll have them posted soon. Here's a hint: It's for the greater good!

[Woodclaw]

Just a small advice, your entries will look a lot more clean and easy to read you you make a little editing using the bold, italics and underscore functions.

[HustlerOne]

Introducing the Vehicles of the Tau Empire. The closest thing to good guys in the Warhammer 40k Universe.
That is if you ignore their creepy brave new world utopian view. Still it's quite original to have the humans be the bad guys of the game for a change. Well, technically Warhammer 40k has always been about lesser evil versus horrific evil from the great beyond. Next up the Crisis battlesuit.

Tau Vehicles



Name: Piranha Skimmer, Strength: 30(2), Speed: 4(8), Defense: 9, Toughness: 11(4),

Extras:Explosion, Power Feats: Homing1)(No change in cost)

Notes: This is a variant of the Hammerhead. It replaces its main cannon with that of a missile launcher.
Used as a artillery or anti-aircraft unit.

[HustlerOne]

What would the Tau be without their characteristic battlesuits? Dead, thats what. This should be able to take on a dreadnought. At the very least it's better than a sentinel. As long as you remember to use your speed and long range to your advantage.

That's it for now.This should be enough to have a warhammer40k campaign. I may continue finishing up the rest of the space marines and the tau. I even have two other factions in the works. Namely the children of isha and those awesome undead robot zombies. Let me know if anyone is interested.




Name: Crisis Battlesuit, Size: Large, Type: Mobile Suit, Speed: 35ft

Abilities: STR: 26(+8), DEX:14 (+2), Toughness: +8 (+12 with shields)

Replace Plasma rifle with Blast 12 ("Railguns", Handheld, Ballistic, Extras: Penetrating,

Alternate Power: Blast 12 (Extras: Explosion), Powerfeats: Plug in interface, Flaws: Limited to firing in

stationary position.) (15)

Notes: This variant of the Crisis suit has railguns for its main weapon. The railguns can only be fired in a stationary position. The railguns have a huge recoil that prohibits it from firing and moving at the same time. The Broadside usually acts as artillery.

[HustlerOne]

I decided to update my really old Warhammer 40k vehicle builds. I cleaned up the mess and made it look more presentable. I also added pictures and short descriptions for each build. Most of the info I used for conversion came from the Warhammer40k Lexicanum website and the ridiculously expensive (but good quality work) Forgeworld Imperial Armour books.

Let me know what you think and how I can improve upon it if at all.

[HustlerOne]

Tau Air Vehicles



Name: Barracuda Fighter, Strength: 35(1), Speed: 8(16), Defense: 8, Toughness: 10(1),

Super Senses 2 (extended radar, radius[radar])(2) Note: Speed is Flight

Notes: This is the standard air transport of the Tau Empire. Can carry 48 passengers, battlesuits, and drones.

[HustlerOne]

Another update. I found some spelling mistakes in my crisis suit build. So I fixed that. I also added optional weaponry to the crisis suit. I even built up the broadside cousin to the crisis suit.

I noticed that the Tau didn't have any air support. So I added a few air vehicles to make it more fair. This should help anyone who wants a aerial dogfight.

It would be nice to get some feedback. Especially from anyone who plays Warhammer 40k. I'm not sure if I'm doing these warhammer40k builds right. I even have the Eldar and Necrons statted up already. I'm just not sure if I should continue since there isn't any interest.

The Tau and the Space Marines are mostly complete. So I'm glad I was able to finish these two at least. There should be enough for a small campaign. The only thing missing is a Space Marine or Fire Warrior build.

[catsi563]

one thing about the tau the burst carbines on the devil fish and the piranhas are drones they can separate and shoot at targets independantly of the main vehicles.

[HustlerOne]

one thing about the tau the burst carbines on the devil fish and the piranhas are drones they can separate and shoot at targets independantly of the main vehicles.

I remember they can do that. However I decided to go the simpler way and have them attached. Its easier that way when figuring out costs. Still I can build those drones for you if you want. I think mecha and manga has a feature used for that purpose.

[HustlerOne]

Name: Gun Drone

Power Level 6

Abilities: Str 7(-2), Dex: 16(+3), Con -(-), Int -(-), Wis 10(0), Cha -(-)

Skills: Notice 6(+6), Search 2(+2)

Feats: -

Powers: Blast 5 ("Pulse Carbine", Extras: Autofire, Improved range)(16)

Communications 4 (Radio, Area, Selective, Subtle)(10)

Flight 3(6)

Immunity 30 (Fortitude) (30)

Shrinking 4 (Power Feats: Innate, Flaws: Permanent)(9)

Super Senses 4 (Direction Sense, Infravision, Ultravision, radius[radar])(4)

Combat: Attack: +6. Damage: Defense: +7, Initiative: +3

Saves: Toughness: +5, Fortitude: -, Reflex: +6, Will: -

Drawbacks: Disability (No Arms; Very Common, major)(-5)

Abilities: -27, Skills: 2, Feats: 0, Powers: 75, Combat: 22, Saves: 8, Drawbacks: -5, Total: 75

Notes: This is a drone equipped with a pulse carbine. It can attach to numerous Tau vehicles and act as an extra pair of guns. It can also detach and act independently on its own. I suggest using the Support Unit feature from mecha and manga to simulate this. Add Support unit ranked at 5(for each drone) to the Piranha Skimmer, Devilfish Troop Carrier, Hammerhead Grav Tank, Sky Ray Missile Defense Gunship Variant, and the Barracuda Fighter.

In addition there are numerous variants to the basic drone. The gun drone has a modular hardpoint that can accommodate a wide range of weapons and tools.

Shield Drone: Replace Pulse Carbine with Shield Generator 4 (Ex: Affects Others)(16)

Notes: Acts as a support unit. Used to protect vulnerable infantry near the drone.



Heavy Gun Drone: Replace Pulse Carbine with Burst Cannon: Blast 6 (Extras: Autofire, Burst)(24)

Notes: A drone that packs a heavier punch.

Technical Drone: Remove weapon and Disability (11)

Notes: This drone has hands and arms. Used by the earth caste workers for construction and logistical purposes.

[HustlerOne]

I added the Tau Gun drones. I also added some quick links so you don't have to scroll all the way down to view my builds. I wanted to do a space marine build but I have no idea how to incorporate all of their implants and extra organs. I suggest checking others threads for space marine and fire caste warrior builds.

If anyone requests it. I'll post the Eldar and necron vehicles. This includes their robots. For the necrons this pretty much means nearly all of them.
