Gravlance

Interactive gravity drives produce a substantial sustained force at short range. One part, the lash, is fitted to the weapons platform; the other, too large to be fitted to standard ammunition, is fitted to an iridium-hardened reusable lance.

Discussion

Fluff-wise, specialized gravity drives on both the projectiles and the suit interact to form a strong sustained force at short range, using the projectiles more like you are throwing a hammer at your foe than shooting them.

Toughen up your Crisis unit and get them in close for some high-risk, high-reward short-range combat. Where the Fusion Blaster excels at blasting away heavy armor, this weapon is designed for tough units with light or no armor.

  • For stats, 4 hits seems reasonable.
  • Might need to up the range to 8” (flamer-like).
  • Up to 10S if you advanced this turn, bringing down your BS slightly but guaranteeing that 2+ wound on most any infantry.
  • D3 damage to keep it competitive, giving you a wound potential of 12 - 24 if you’re crazy lucky with those 6s.
  • Not terribly effective against anything with a decent armor save.
  • The extra wounds are fantastic for getting you into combat, but you immediately start losing effectiveness if you’re sustaining hits.
