It also lives to replicate the forces described in the numerous and mostly excellent novels. Thus we have Zoats and Squats! Shocked<br /><br />The stat's for Space Marines were discussed at length by the Forge of War development community. Eventually we mostly agreed that eight-foot super-humans in nearly impenetrable armour, and carrying the equivalent of heavy machine guns as sidearms, should be as shown in ItEN.<br /><br />As for using IHMN for W40K please go ahead Cheesy. Not though you need it you do have my blessing. I always support creativity in gaming.<br /><br />You'll have quite a bit of work to do to balance it though as IHMN was designed to meet the requirements and technology of 1895 (with a VSF twist), whereas ItEN was designed from the ground up to suit W40K. Also ItEN has recently been overhauled by Gavin and the crew to take into account all the lessons they had learned from hundreds of playtests by the FoW community. I had no input into the 3rd Edition so all credit goes to them.<br /><br />I'll drop by to see what you are up to by and by.<br /><br />Note: if you do publish anything on your blog or elsewhere, cut and paste in the disclaimer I agreed with GW, out of the ItEN rules. GW can get sniffy if you don't show the appropriate respect bro'.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Craig.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
