Welcome to Gaia! ::

You can't use it for two reasons. One, note that the armory is split up into three columns, Weapon systems, support systems, and wargear. Stealths are allowed one support system, not wargear. Two, while the Team Leader or Shas'vre does get access to wargear, the rules for Special Issue earlier in the armory have already established that only characters whose unit entry specifically grants them access to Special Issue gear may take SI items. Look at the Stealth entry again. Nowhere does it state that a Stealth Shas'vre may take Special Issue equipment.

If you want to give the Stealth Shas'vre a suicide bomb, you'll have to explain what you've done to everyone you play and ask if they're okay with it. Otherwise, you are cheating. Also, you would not be allowed to use it in a tournament.

The CIB rules are on page 26 of the codex, top of the middle column. It's basically a pretty weak weapon that spams a ton of shots, and once in a while a shot will cut through infantry armor. It's about as good Vs. Marines as the Plasma Rifle, but I don't like it because of the low strength and the range isn't really that great either.

So, uh, is GamesWorkshop or forgeworld ever going to make the pieces needed for the missing vehicle/battlesuit gear?

Regardless, the concept is not lost on you, and you can imagine it done. Though the phrase is "unheard" of, like a lot of retarded english words, phrases and colloqiualisms (sp?) its not literal. Such as "how dare you". If it were literal, than it still wouldnt matter as youve "heard of it" the moment you read Brookman's (I believe thats who argued fluff) post. Unless youre taking even more literally and claim you hadnt heard it as you had to read it because its text based media.

And in short, the real point is, dont make an a** of yourself by being rude to someone who wasnt even being offensive.

This:


was a dickish response. Ill agree in thinking that ethereals are not great choices (though I prefer not to call any unit useless). However, rather than being rude, you couldve just made another point on how bad they are, reiterate a previous point you or soemone else made, or just ask what the hell he meant by "using right" (as that applies to anything).

Anyways, if it wasnt intentional, than nifty s**t, all is cool. Just next time, think about how things like that come off to people reading it.

As it says in the codex. Please read it through thoroughly once or twice from end to end. Also, should you not have one of these, buy one as well. You MUST.

It helps make the experience more enjoyably by calculating where the elbows are.

More or less ensures that you can bring on one unit from reserves, but keeps any other units in reserves from coming on in the same turn. See page 84 of the main rulebook, bottom of the second column to see how Reserves work, then re-read the rules for the Positional Relay on p. 27 of the Tau codex to make more sense of it.
