AT DP

By Kojib, in Star Wars: Legion

Back to this old chestnut.

thinking about units, what do we know about the AtDp all terrain defense pod. Dimensions? Anyone out there super skilled and could put a picture of one next to an AtSt to see how it’d look on wh battlefield?

Im assuming it’s armament is less than that of an AtSt?

perhaps could fill a walker gap between an AtSt and a AtRt?

AT-DPs are larger than AT-STs but have less armaments.

The atpt would be a better model for that gap

Is he AtPt cannon anymore?

They made a model for IA, so.... yes?

No they didn't that's an AT-DP in IA

AT-PTs are canon still. They appear in Star Wars: Galactic Defense. Apparently LFL ruled that the events in that game aren’t canon but the units are. That game introduced the MLC-3 light tank into canon too.

The AT-DP is only taller by a couple of meters (not sure how that works out in this scale) and the AT-ST has some poseability so it could be possible to include, especially since it doesn't have any extra greebles you need to install. Not sure what the niche would be, just a cannon and the melee attack, and then Pilot+Comms upgrade? I guess it would be cheaper than an AT-ST if you wanted to deploy armor.

That’s what I’m thinking. A viable way to get more armour on the battlefield. Maybe a vehicle which interacts with objectives in some way, as opposed to the atst which is just a killing machine

I don't find them so cool as the AT-ST. I would prefer other stuff. I hope SOLO brings some new imperial tanks to the canon similar to the new TIE they are introducing. I find the tank-troopers from Rogue One to be badass! It would be great to have one of those sticking out of a tank a la Astra Militarum tank commander.

The way I see the AT-DP, and the Fluff relates, as it bridged the gap between the AT-RT and the AT-ST.

Single (Larger) Cannon, more armour, but used in a constabulary roll and escort for AT-ATs.

It then evolved into the AT-ST, which had a lower centre of gravity, wider array of weapons to deal with different threats, so could survive better on its own or in small squadrons.

So the AT-DP I would see as an uparmoured ATRT. Single weapon, armoured. comms slot, rear weak spot. maybe 8 hull. 100ish points.
