Does MC still ignore Armour?

[rhawin]

I was just wondering, was looking for it in the rules, and since all other race got a specific AP to their weapons, does MC still ignore Armour? i got suspicious... What page if any is about this in the new rulebook...

ahhh this is the fattest book yet and most extensive rules!
Don't remember what i read in the beginning

All MCs have Smash, which grants them AP2 on all their close combat attacks, not just their Smash attacks.

Therefore they ignore all armour that isn't 1+. So yeah, they ignore armour.

Page 42 if you're interested.

MCs still ignore armor. Look at their Smash ability. I don't have my book, it's within the special rules, page 36 or around that IIRC.

EDIT: DarkGuard beat me to it with better info. Dammit! :)

Don't worry about it sturm, it shows that I have don't have a life, and you do.

Unless they swoop from the sky for a Vector Strike, then they drop to ap3 . . . -_-

The main thing I'd advise then is to read both the rulebook and the Nid book back to front a couple of times. Then look at what's in your army, and look up the rules and things you need to know for those units a few times. Then, if you need to, write a cheat sheet if it helps you remember. Basically, anything to help you remember stuff for the game.

It may be better to call it a "reference sheet" than a "cheat sheet", but the idea is an excellent one. I do it myself when I'm running new Units or those that I haven't used for a while.

Maybe not. Man I need to get a job.

[DarkGuard]

I actually meant there that I don't have a life. But I was tied, so that came out really poorly.

Yeah I got that. I'm just saying that I don't have one either and that getting a job should make me look less pathetic.

Back on subject:

I still forget a lot of stuff, mostly about MCs. There's just so many things they do. Fear on every turn, Hammer of Wrath on the charge, Smash and then if I think of all this, I forget about some biomorph they have.

It takes many games before you stop forgetting things. Even more if you're learning all at once. Give yourself some time.

They don't really ignore it per se, they merely penetrate through it. The crunchy bits make the meal even better you know, it simply isn't fun to ignore it. Kind of like the hard candy shell of M&Ms...
