It can beat a Warhammer at range (same weapons + more armor = win), and even give a Battlemaster a tough run up close. It can 2-1-2-1-2 fire it's PPCs at a run all day and not feel the heat, and it can alpha-strike it's lasers with barely a ripple on the heat scale.

Finally, I give some love to the Capellans. Smile

A very good designed capellan Mech (Yes that seems to be possible!).
Heavy armor, good firepower at almost all ranges and good speed for an 85 tonner. It is able to be driven without much heat management but a double PPC blast at max speed will slow it down to 3 / 5! Maybe drop the rear firing laser for an 18th heat sink!

The energy-only armament and heavy armor will let it last long and heat dissipation is sufficient to allow the pilot to do whatever he wants... well, almost anything. I wouldn't field more than one of these per lance, just like with 6D Warhammer, and other such super-tough energy boats. It Wouldn't be fun to play. It reminds me of Hatamoto-Hi...

Hmmm, No luck always is the main determinant, with tactics coming in second. And the Capellans do not need your love but your submission to the Emperor.

As for the Mech did you scope out if all parts are Cappellan? If they are great. I do not like Energy boats much but this is good. It is not a "cool" Mech. Does the classic long or short that some many current designers want to fire everything and remain cool. Flamer for cover or that pesky infantry (in Total Warfare this Mech would be in trouble against the fleshy ones without the flamer. Kudos for the rear flamer. A little surprise for those speedsters.

My only request Warhammer 3025 is put at least a paragraph of fluff. People more likely to remember it.
