Hand Flamer

Тихо спиздил и ушел, называется нашел. Ну а речь пойдет о стрельбе пихоты.

Суть проблемы - новая таблица потсрелушек и разделение стрельбы одного отряда по разным целям. В завтрашней статье будут рассмотрены персонажи.

"Вчера мы рассмотрели самые большие модели в игре и то, насколько разрушительными они могут быть.Сегодня мы посмотрим на малышей.
Новый Вархаммер 40000 даст пехоте время блеснуть. Есть вещи, которые вы просто не можете хорошо делать машинами, байками и ходунами , например удерживать руины, эффективно использовать укрытия или заполнять поле боя в количестве, достаточном, что бы захватить каждую цель.Одна из тех вещей, которая должна помочь пехоте это то, что в игре все может нанести урон всему.

Мы уже слышали, что характеристики больше не ограничиваются цифрой 10, так что старая таблица 10х10 сила и стойкость должна быть обновлена.
В новой редакции имеется простая, но элегантная система, что бы узнать какой результат вам необходим (см. таблицу в посте)
Так что, в то время как скромный лазган имеет шанс свалить самого большого врага, вам понадобиться много мелкокалиберного огня что бы по настоящему угрожать крупной цели.
Мы уже видели профиль Космодесантника, болтера, лазпушки и Горканавта, и теперь мы знаем все шаги что бы выяснить, как может выглядеть такая фаза стрельбы. Быстрый подсчет говорит нам, что понабиться более 500 болтеров стреляющих в Горканавта, чтобы свалить его, в то время как лазпушек вам понадобится всего чуть более десятка. Так что, не смотря на то, что вы можете случайно снять рану болтером, лазганом или шутой, вы увидите, что оружие вашей пехоты найдёт применение в другом месте.
Тем не менее это не проблема, потому что в новом Вархаммере 40000 модели в отряде смогут стрелять по разным целям. Это означает, что ребята с болтерами, из вашего тактического отряда, могут стрелять по приближающейся орде Хромогаунтов, в то время как огнеметчик будет купать ближайщего Ликтора в огне прометиума, а крак-ракета отряда делает неожиданный выстрел по Карнифексу – примерно так как вы это себе и представляли!В этой редакции пехота сможет многое предложить хитрому генералу.
Завтра мы рассмотрим персоонажей, присоеденяйтесь к нам."


Оригинал текста:
"Yesterday, we looked at the biggest models in Warhammer 40,000, and how devastating they can be.

Today, we’re going to look at the little guys.

The
new Warhammer 40,000 will give infantry a chance to shine. There is
stuff you just can’t do with very well with vehicles, bikes and walkers,
like hold ruins, use cover effectively and swarm the battlefield in
numbers to claim every objective.

One thing that is certainly
going to help infantry out is the fact that everything can harm
everything in the game. We’ve heard already that characteristics don’t
cap at 10 anymore, so the old 10×10 strength vs toughness table was in
for an update. In the new edition, there’s a simple but elegant system
to find out what you need to wound:

So, you can see that while
even the humble lasgun has a chance to take down the biggest foe, you’ll
need a lot of small-arms fire to really threaten the big stuff. We’ve
already seen the profiles of a Space Marine, a bolter, a lascannon and a
Gorkanaut, and now we know all the steps to work out just how such a
Shooting phase might go. Some quick maths tells us that we’d need over
500 bolters firing at that Gorkanaut to bring it down, whereas you’d
need just over a dozen lascannons. So, while you might occasionally chip
the odd wound off with bolters, lasguns or shootas, you might find that
your standard infantry guns are better used elsewhere.

Not a
problem though, because in the new Warhammer 40,000, models in a squad
can fire at different targets. So, this means your Tactical Squad can
have your boys with bolters deal with that onrushing Hormagaunt horde,
while the flamer bathes a nearby Lictor in prometheum fire, and the
squad’s krak missile takes an opportunistic pop-shot at that onrushing
Carnifex – just as you always imagined they should!

Infantry is going to have a lot to offer a cunning general in this edition.

Tomorrow, we’ll take a look at how characters work, join us then."

Грэм Макнилл, автор прорвы романов и рассказов по вселенной Warhammer 40.000\FB, переходит работать в Riot Games. Удачи Маку на новом месте работы

I’ve been chatting with Riot for a little while and now they’ve offered me the position of Senior Narrative Writer in their Los Angeles offices. So, yeah, in the summer we’re leaving Nottingham and the UK and relocating to sunny California in the US of A.

This wasn’t a decision we took lightly. I enjoyed the work I was doing, where I was doing it and the way life revolved around our kids, friends, family, work, school and all the usual happenings that make up the everyday. We had Evan and Amber to think of, our own jobs and our house, our friends and families. We liked having all that close, and the idea of making such a life-changing upheaval was very scary. Far easier just to maintain the status quo, eh? In short, we were comfortable, but sometimes you need to change things up, to step out of your comfort zone, and I think we were all at that stage.

I first spoke with Riot back in December. I went over for an informal chat, not really knowing what to expect, but going in with an open mind. The people I met there were fantastic; full of passion and enthusiasm for what they were doing, and I came away feeling I’d had a real meeting of minds with the spirit of Riot’s creative heart. These were people who thrived on the sheer joy of creativity, where every avenue could be explored to see where it went. I came away tremendously excited at the possibility of working within those teams.

We went back over to California as a family in February so everyone could see LA and Santa Monica, to find out if it was a place we could see ourselves living and working. It most definitely was. And my second meeting with the creative types in Riot more than confirmed my desire to work with them. Their attitude to the work and the potential for all it offers in the future is incredible, which makes me tremendously excited about being part of it.

After some long, serious, grown-up talks about making the move, Anita and I came to the conclusion that the opportunities for our family were too incredible to pass up. It’s a life-changing adventure that’s going to be exciting and challenging all at the same time. It’s the kind of chance we had to snatch with both hands, as it’s the kind that doesn’t come around more than once. And I’d hate to look back in years to come with any kind of regret for the chances we didn’t take. So with a mixture of giggling excitement and trepidation at the thought of stepping into this brave new world, we’re getting packed up and looking west to this fresh phase of our future.

Ah, but what does this mean for all things Warhammer…?

Well, first and foremost, I’m a writer, so I’m not going to stop writing books any more than I’m going to choose to stop breathing. I’m still working on my current Horus Heresy novel, The Crimson King (I’ve just handed in the first half…) and will continue to write for the Black Library. Clearly my output will diminish, what with having a full time, salaried day job, but I’ll still be keeping my hand in. I have stories of Uriel Ventris yet to tell and the Battle for Macragge isn’t going to write itself. And, having been involved with the Horus Heresy series since its very opening act, I’ll be damned if I’m not going to show up for its final dramas and its curtain calls. Expect the odd quick read or audio to pop up here and there too. In short, I’m still going to keep you entertained with grim tales from the 41st Millennium, the Horus Heresy and beyond.

So, there you have it. As the summer dawns, Clan McNeill will be living it in California. Wish us well, and I’ll continue to talk to you all on Twitter, Facebook and e-mail.

Cheers,

Graham
