After getting word about the new FB MSBS Assault Rifle and realizing, that some of my special weapons use the same parts as my assault rifles, I thought about implementing that modular rifle feature into my weaponry. However, I'm not sure about the implementation of such a transformation rule and how it would effect CP costs (or that new inch buying system).

EXHIBIT A: ROCKET LAUNCHER

Assault Rifle Mode:
Use: 3 Rng: 10 Dmg: 1d6+1

Launcher Mode:
Use: 3 Rng: 10 Dmg: (can launch Size 1 explosives)

EXHIBIT B: ANTI-GRAV RIFLE

Assault Rifle Mode:
Use: 3 Rng: 10 Dmg: 1d6+1

Anti-Grav Rifle Mode:
Use: 4 Rng: 10 Dmg: 1d6/1d8 for each die of the target's armour roll

Another example of alternate fire modes would be the Magyar Bows, that use three different types of arrows:

Standard Arrows:
Use: 3 Rng: 10 Dmg: 1d6+1

Explosive Arrows (limited ammo):
Use: 3 Rng: 10 Dmg: (can launch Size 1 explosives)

Incendiary Arrows (limited ammo):
Use: 3 Rng: 10 Dmg: 1d4 fire (in a radius of 2")

Just make them spend action on switching mode, and it's balanced enough.

That Anti-Grav Gun is damn interesting concept.

Agree with Maddox here. It's going to take time to switch modes. You get the flexibility of the change ability but lose time and leave your guy vulnerable for a turn.

Like a Space Marine(You know the ones) grav-weapon?

woops... necro

Kinda like that, but I don't recall the 40K stats, anymore.

18" range salvo 2/3 wound target using the targets armor save great anti marine stuff

I'm pretty sure(don't quote me) that the target doesn't get a save afterwards...

yes totally forgot its AP2

bye-bye MEQ's
