Sweeper Sweepers are the demolitions experts of the Resistance. Their main responsibility is to disarm bombs and land mines planted by the Machine and rival Great Houses, but their training also makes them expert saboteurs. They wear an experimental suit of Host Armor called Shellback Armor that gi...

warmounts are reason enough to be an outrider. roughnecks are supposed to be regular grunts, pretty much; they shouldn't have the elite troops' gear. plus, there isn't really a lot of restrictions on what you can put on living armour. a few things specify host armour or warmount, but for the most p...

Premier

Personally, I see no major issue with issuing Roughnecks and Outriders a Host Armor and a Living Body Armor, for the Houses that can afford it. War Mounts are a huge investment for Great Houses (both in space required to develop them and the Gene Pool gestation longevity. That's before they even see...

the thing is, there is little reason for the great houses to be pushing for so many saints (1 in 25 people don't need to be doctors) unless they intend (and have a reasonable expectation of succeeding in that plan) to convert at least some of them into either librarians or engineers (librarians iir...

Brilliant work, BTW. Thank you BookWyrm, though I can't take credit for the masterpiece that Slappy has written. Slappy did 95-98.5% percent of the write up.

Premier

Here's the thing for me when it comes to Saint stats. A solid mean number or percentage is a good gauge for the Saints under a specific House's umbrella, but exactly what stage of maturation, activities and where they are all at is the bigger question? We should factor in the gestation longevity in ...

I sincerely admit that an illustration of the Librarian is one thing I wish I could forgo or pass along.

Premier

one thing i would say, the engineer numbers should be related more to population. an enormous house that uses limited biotech on 20% of the population should probably have more engineers than a small house that loves the stuff. librarians you could go either way (a tiny house might have just been p...

The Second portion of developing and balancing your Great Houses are checks and balances if your House has Biotech. There are two major facets of Biotech: How they are designed and how well they are produced. Producing quality and significant quantity Biotech requires valuable resources. Written By ...

Kagashi's assessment is correct. I approached the design with the focus of manufacturing the same component parts and preservation of the aesthetic. Just because these compartments were used as missile launchers on some mecha doesn't mean they are automatically launchers. This same component that is...

There is a great deal of discussion and introduction of Great Houses online and in the Rifters, but we have been asked many times over how to go about developing a Great House for Splicers? With so many ideas, where are the checks and balances and guidelines? Well. Slappy & I have pondered this ...

Thank you Spliceheads for the positive feedback and support!
We just have to try and keep the SPLICERS community growing and the work churning.

Next week I upload the first topic.
May I ask, What day would you all vote for the Topic Day to be?

If a Splicers character had, say, chemistry or even genetics, do you think they should be able to synthesize the nutrient bath needed to feed their bio-tech gear?

I can say this, Palladium will be well-armed with polished scripts to actually make this a go.

Sounds pretty much like I thought. Just wasn't sure if you needed to drag a carcass off the field back to the House like they do from the boneyards for raw material to build with.

Thanks Premier, not sure if that is news, as we really should expect no change through to the end of Wave 2.

So there has been no decision or approval to change the scale from 6 mm to any other scale at this time. The current products produced and still being developed for RRT are all designated for 6 mm.

I like that idea. A 6mm battle game including all generations and a 15mm skirmish game focused heavily on the Infantry, Power Armour and Cyclone scale units. Thanks Jefffar, "Its the only way to be sure." (Hix wink at Aliens film). Actually, I think it would be very feasible to do a modif...

Premier

Well Premier I hope Palladium are looking at whats being said by people because a lot of people are stating that 15mm is quite simply too big of a change, many are accepting a smaller change and many are saying stick to whats already available.

Re: Scale, For the Record, Palladium Books has not made any determination of changing scales.
