Chill. 40k ain't about the physics. Nothing says APOC louder than a Baneblade with four ICBMs on top of it! You should come to the game with a 20lbs sledgehammer. Each missile gives you one whack at the table. All models, terrain, etc., that are hit and anything that falls to the floor are, obviously, destroyed. Every other models that moves due to the table moving stays where they are. Anything lying down must take difficult terrain test when they move again (to represent standing back up). <br /><br />To compensate for all you physics majors out there, the tank firing the ICBMs moves 18" straight back, instantly destroying any models, friendly or foe, that it runs over. <br /><br />And don't even mention cover, armor, or invul saves - you don't get it. <br /><br />Seriously, though - awesome model.General von Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12251258791363584652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-30769033473609154972013-10-12T12:13:54.451-07:002013-10-12T12:13:54.451-07:00Where will this be released at?Where will this be released at?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529809397225141619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-40195824333502003782013-10-10T13:12:09.480-07:002013-10-10T13:12:09.480-07:00They spelled it wrong, it is MLRS.They spelled it wrong, it is MLRS.Machinatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17375576851884708774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-71177279605917008242013-10-10T07:28:08.143-07:002013-10-10T07:28:08.143-07:00How come it's called mslr?

Still a cool model. It is Sci Fi - just say in the future they use a cold based chemical propellant that eliminates that problem..yeah, that's the ticket.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07412415723328303662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-14858833097905867252013-10-09T07:16:32.593-07:002013-10-09T07:16:32.593-07:00Anyone interested in knowing whether or not this d...Anyone interested in knowing whether or not this design would work from a recoil standpoint should read from the following link:<br />http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LawOfInverseRecoil<br /><br />However, one particularly damaging point with all rockets is the backblast. Any rocket that large is going to generate tons...a simple grate mesh is going to be vaporized. I would put a hinge on the rear vents and claim that the door opens up prior to firing. As for reloading -Watch this youtube video: <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHv60kfExU8<br /><br />There are plenty of vids out there with MLRS that should be fun to see.<br /><br />Here's another link to the Army's MLRS -which is essentially what this model is based on. In particular, note the backblast coming from the rear in the second picture down on the left.<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M270_Multiple_Launch_Rocket_System<br /><br /> I can personally attest to the fact the MLRS produces enormous backblast visable for miles - the damned things woke me like clockwork during desert storm.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07412415723328303662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-3654967920829000432013-10-09T05:17:30.252-07:002013-10-09T05:17:30.252-07:00Fun stuff, my only grip is that the hull of the mi...Fun stuff, my only grip is that the hull of the missile launcher lack the gothic feel of the baneblade rear part of the hull.Nicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02832178043193157709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-77022577655322675312013-10-09T00:55:10.681-07:002013-10-09T00:55:10.681-07:00Very nice indeed! :)Very nice indeed! :)Sir Tainlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715776467098274317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-18139311447858703472013-10-09T00:50:38.189-07:002013-10-09T00:50:38.189-07:00I want to know what happens when you fire the big ...I want to know what happens when you fire the big rocket. seems the recoil would knock that tank backwards. Seems like it should have something stabilizing it like the new kit games workshop just released. Either that or it needs to be scaled down about 3/4 the size.<br /><br />Overall I like it and will look cool on my warlord but not sure about the tank.Hornatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256085274178461480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-77292251502622439702013-10-09T00:49:18.105-07:002013-10-09T00:49:18.105-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Hornatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256085274178461480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-41666689679939802052013-10-08T18:22:48.573-07:002013-10-08T18:22:48.573-07:00honostly I dont like it. looks to cartoonish to me...honostly I dont like it. looks to cartoonish to me.but Im just one guyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09547887646327884286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-32763855284017884692013-10-08T17:28:32.106-07:002013-10-08T17:28:32.106-07:00That is Awesome!That is Awesome!Tiberius Primarishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15861221922564114556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-68149931565632075162013-10-08T15:06:47.905-07:002013-10-08T15:06:47.905-07:00Brace yourselves...Rules are comingBrace yourselves...Rules are comingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-46387362791084174222013-10-08T13:54:19.664-07:002013-10-08T13:54:19.664-07:00Rules are coming, just be patient.
