[quote]I E-mailed Forge World in frustration yesterday to see if/when they were ever going to update my beloved Rhinox Riders

I'm a regular customer of yours and recently purchased a Rhinox Rider. Could you please update the rules for the Rhinox Riders via and Eretta OR a White Dwarf article, especially considering the Mournfang Rules in the latest Ogre Armybook. I have some good suggestions if you want them.
They responded this morning!!

[b]Updated Experimental Rules for Ogre Rhinox Cavalry[/b]

Amongst the tribes who carve out a brutal existence upon the harsh upper slopes of the Mountains of Mourn there is a rite of passage undertaken by those Ogre Bulls who have survived to the age of Ogrehood. Each year the toughest and most powerful of them will gather to hunt out the most savage breed of Rhinox, the Mountain Grimhorn; a beast so ferocious that older Ogres avoid it, seeking lesser, more tractable specimens to pull their ramshackle war machines.

During their annual fights for territory, encounters between sparring Rhinox will usually result in the death of the loser, as even these badtempered hulks of muscle and matted hair will eventually succumb to their wounds. Afterwards the victorious Rhinox will be exhausted, and it is only then that a lone Ogre can hope to capture one alive, which it does by vaulting upon its back and holding on for dear life. Those Ogres that can ride out the bucking, bellowing frenzy that follows will break the beast's will. Those who lose their grip and fall during this violent rodeo will be gored and swiftly eaten by their quarry.

Those Ogres who prove successful can then return to their tribe triumphant, becoming one of its most respected members. Veteran Ogres who prove strong enough to master their mounts will join together and sell their services as some of the heaviest shock cavalry known in the Old World, ranked with the most notorious Maneaters as mercenaries.

These Grimhorn Rhinox Riders typically carry all their worldly possessions upon their mount - a broken Rhinox also making for an excellent beast of burden. This also serves as a display of their success as mercenaries, showing off the vast wealth they have earned, as although Rhinox Riders can usually secure the victory of any battle they are engaged in, these brutes and their gigantic steeds do not come cheap. Infact, many paymasters of the victorious side will often be found weeping at the sight of the extortionate share of the spoils of war they have to pay out to them.

Je vous l'avais dit, E4

Gros nerf sinon, au lieu de E5, PV5 on a E4, PV4. Ce qui est sympa c'est que les chevaucheurs sont bien plus balaises, avec CC4 et F5. Et la ténacité !

Comprend pas trop pourquoi les mettre en Spécial par contre . Et avec la taille d'unité à 1+, ça en fait de merveilleux chars ! Modifié le 13 novembre 2011 par Far2Casual

A tester de toute urgence en effet...

[JB]

on notera que le fluff essaye d'être sauvé en qualifiant les rhinox de l'espèce "Rhinox Corne-Sinistre des Montagnes" bien plus sauvages et féroces (car la La les présentait comme juste bête de somme, pour justifier l'apparition des Férox), d'où le nom précise de l'unité:

[b]Chevaucheurs de Rhinox Corne-Sinistre[/b]

J'apprécie la simplification, avec tout le monde le même Rhinox (la co-existance du kit Citadel et de la fig Forgeworld n'existant plus), avec thunderlord juste comme nom du champion dorénavant.

Pour le 1+, rappelons que c'est de la fig forgeworld... . Et que c'est "expérimental" (pas comme les vieux [url="http://sgabetto.free.fr/Telechargements/rhinox.pdf"]Monteurs de Rhinox WD[/url] , la différentiation de type de Rhinox est bienvenue ici d'ailleurs)


Si quelqu'un traduit, qu'il me fasse signe...
