15mm Wargaming for Fun and Sanity: Going to The Other End. Time Wars Walker Daleks vs UNIT tests

Time, it is fleeting and I'm losing control. The concept of walker-Daleks has been around for years. Now it's "come up to date" with the idea of walkers for Time Wars - along side ordinary models. Cannot grasp that concept. BUT - along comes GZG's new improved spider droids and I go - 'ang on! https://shop.groundzerogames.co.uk/15mm-stargrunt/vehicles/remotes-drones-and-bot-s.html

Not-quite-finished. Small details to be picked out on a good hand day. Most UNIT troops need touching up and badges.

First up Flying Lead. I worked out fuller lists than required:

Walker Dalek (this is the normal infantry version)
Points 112	Quality 3+	Combat 3
	Body Armor, CQB Specialist, Fanatic, Fear, Long Move, Personal Communication Device, Specialist

Dalek personal weapon Points:23 Combat +3, Move & Shoot, Range: Medium

(used for both)

Walker Dalek Heavy Weapon (definitely a vehicle)
Points 124	Quality 3+	Combat 3
	Ablative Armor, Armored +3 (Medium), Gyro Stabilization, Long Move, Off-Road, Vehicle

Small Vehicles. Either autonomous robots. Drones slaved to a mother vehicle, on-table or off-table operator. Basic vehicle plus weapons load

The way I work these is that the operator and drone share actions and possibly reactions.

Small Vehicle
Points 59	Quality 4+	Combat 2
	Armored +1 (Thin), Gyro Stabilization, Off-Road, Vehicle

Sniper railgun Points:44 +59 = 103

Anti-Tank 2, Armor Piercing, Combat +2, Lethal vs. Soft Targets, Move & Shoot, Range: Long, Sniper Scope

Gatling Points:54 + 59 =113

Anti-Tank 2, Armor Piercing, Combat +4, Lethal vs. Soft Targets, Move & Shoot, Range: Long, Spread

Grenade launcher

Points:16 + 59 = 75 Grenade Combat 3, Range: Long, Spread.

Usually paired with a basic vehicle spotter. Measure range from spotter.

The Game - set - up. I used the same for both. I set up 1 2x2 and 2 2x1 boards to be assembled as required.

Objective.

A little bit of turning and jiggling, we're there.

Sorry, this is as far as I got with the commentary. But - the game worked!

More when I move!

Rogue Stars. Walker Daleks Cyborgs 3 drones and leader 248.

Leader. Extra legs2. Leader2. Marksman. Steadfast2. 30 Total + 41 = 71

Bionic eye 4. +1 spot.

Cyborg body 8

Neuro Jack. 3 +2 tech rolls.

Combat Dress. Legs/arms 3. Head/Torso 4. 18

Zap rifle built in. 4 Electrical. Energy. 8

Drone. As above - leader 18 + 41 = 59

Gurkha Star Cops. 3 troopers & Leader 234

Leader Fire into melee. Leader3. Marksman. Perceptive. Reactive. Steadfast. Stealth. Tough. Weaponmaster. 53 +19 = 72

Fixed vibrobayonet 3 4

Kukri “sword” 2 Primitive 2.

Assault rifle 5 Auto, 2 handed. 8

Slug pistol. 4 Short range. 5

Trooper as above - leader = 54 + frag grenade 3 range 6” 2” radius.

One thing with Rogue Stars - if you want a standard cop or soldier "load out", that's a lot of points. So you either have reduced numbers or whack the total up. This was a compromise at 4 each. Gave a fairly balanced game though.
