SPOILER: Lure of the Expanse Information

By jtwing2, in Rogue Trader Gamemasters

If you a player, especially one of my players, stop reading now. Hit the Back Button.

**********************************************

Okay. Still here? Well for all you GMs out there, here is what my quick read will get you from the Lure of the Expanse:

  • Three Adventures
  • Lots of information on Footfall and few other systems that the adventures take place in
  • Eldar Ship Components, an Eldar ship example
  • A handful of other imperial style ships
  • Stats for an Eldar Farseer, Warlocks, Wraithguards, and Pathfinders as well as some info on Eldar Psychic Powers
  • A slew of other NPC stats, as needed for the adventure.

All in all, I'm excited by what I have read so far. Only been able to skim the book really, but that is my first take on it.

I can't wait for it now! I love eldar even their disturbed cousins the dark eldar! would love to see how my players would react to an eldar ranger, probably not a farseer unless i get a radical inquisitor involved too.

An Eldar Ship? That might be interesting. Are the eldar ship components in some way unique like the Ghost Field and Runecaster from the Core Rulebook, i.e. do they work with special rules or are they just stats like "<Random Name> Eldar Lance; Strength 2; Damage 1d10+3; Crit Rating 2; Range 8;..."?

Eldar Components:

Solar Sails - replaces plasma drives, gives a special rule for shooting during a move

Starcannon Battery - reskinned macrobattery, slightly different stats

Holofield - Oh my goodness. No void shields, but instead this... gives a hefty modifier to anything that targets the ship (see Klingon Bird of Prey, heh).

Yea, the Holofield is nasty gran_risa.gif But then Eldar ships are meant to be like smoke, you can't hit them for love nor money.

When I said "I'd hit that," I meant with multiple macrobatteries and lances. lengua.gif

Picking my copy up a bit later today, as it is Dark Heresy night at the FLGS.

This is EXACTLY what I was wanting and hoping for!

(Now I can do stuff with my 2500 point Eldar fleet!)

The only thing I need now are examples of torpedoes, fighters, and bombers...
