Heavy Support
0 - 1 AA Needler battery - 70pts
An immensely large version of the handheld needler, the AA Needler fires a single needle, twice as big as a man, directly up into swarms of aircraft. It then explodes into thousands of smaller needles which pepper aircraft and explode, causing massive structural damage. While not a particularly precision weapon, it has proven the death of many flyers and even ground targets when required.
Type: Emplacement, immobile(see below)
Front: 12
Side: 12
Rear: 12
BS: 4
Unit: The AA Needler battery consists of 1 - 3 AA Needler platforms. These are deployed independently of each other at the same time.
Armament: Each AA Needler battery is equipped with a macro-needler. The stats for the macro-needler are as follows:
Rng: 36" Str: 7 AP: 4 Ordance 1 blast, pinning
Each macro-needler is in an AA mount (note that it can still be fired at ground troops). When fired at flyers, the macro-needler gets D3 shots at each flyer.
Towable: The platform can be towed by a wraith or a spectre. The vehicle must move into contact with the plratform, and may tow it up to 6" per turn. The towing vehicle may disengage at any time during the movement phase. Normal shooting rules apply, but when towed, only the towing vehicle or the platform may fire - not both.
Well, what do you think? These came up in First Strike once, and i've fleshed it out a little, but i figured it added a little diversity.
