Moderator Froggy the Great Posted April 7, 2004 Moderator Share Posted April 7, 2004 Your best bet is to look at the mini, compare its size to certain CAVs, and figure out what number of damage tracks it's have in cmparison. Then, make the stats with the JoR construction rules to generally fit the spirit of the model, rather than trying to recreate everything.

Erion Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Problem there is, even the Atlas Mini is going to pale in size/bulk next to the resized Rhino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Is it worth playing CAV without CAVs? That is, using it purely as a combined-arms game a la Epic 40,000 if you don't feel like Big Stomping Robots at the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Froggy the Great Posted April 7, 2004 Moderator Share Posted April 7, 2004 Yes, CAV is perfectly decent without CAVs. There are plenty of AFVs, infantry, tanks, aircraft, etc, to make for a perfectly good game without the stompy robots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Sounds good to me; I prefer tanks to robots, and if robots are present, tanks just don't seem to fit. I'm also interested in converting CAV to accomodate Epic 40,000 miniatures. After Titan Legions and Space Marine went OOP, the Epic system became pretty much a combined arms game and everyone forgot about the Titans (CAVs...)

That's why I included descriptives of its armor, speed, and weight class, since it's easier to work from that than from specific numbers. The best bet, to build a BT conversion, is to just take the BT minis at their own scale, and build to suit. A Locust, say, might have only a few damage tracks, and Atlas might have a lot. But as HO says, fit it to the spirit, rather than bothering with exact numbers. I'm hoping to pick up JoR next paycheck and get started on this.
