Title: Spacelords - which Grav-speeder first? POLL
Post by: Doug ex-em4 on 02 July 2014, 09:43:29 AM
Although we've been trying to limit the number of Spacelord threads, I'm having to start a new one for this poll. And several of the older thread are now sinking fast so hopefully there won't be toomuch confusion. I'll maintain the "Releases as they Happen thread"

Anyway, I think the thrust of this poll is self-explanatory so let's see some voting, please.

And if someone can tell me what S.E.C.S. stands for, I'd be grateful.

Thanks in advance

Doug

I've gone for the machine cannon with Wartech rider.

Hope to see some more Wartech infantry soon(ish).  :D

No idea what S.E.C.S stands for, sorry.

S.E.C.S. apparently stands for Security-Screens according to Gallactic Gazzetteer #2

OK - was it German originally? Is Security-Screens an English translation?

The Spacelords rules are quite strange since they are in German, but a lot of weapon names and other names are still English.

I can quote it direct:

Cybertech-Organisation 1

"Die Kampfeinheiten der Cybertechs werden in Bunkerbrecher, Assault-Support-Units oder Wartechs und SECS (Security-Screen) Einheiten untergliedert."

Losely translate to:

"The combat units of the Cybertech can be subdivided into units of Bunker Breakers, Assault Support Units or Wartechs and SECS (Security Screen)"

I can't really find anything other description of the term. So I would think the added punctuation has come later. So they are probably not really S.E.C.S. but Sec-S = Security Screen.

The cannon armed speeder is well ahead of the poll so far, particularly if you add together the Wartech and S.E.C.S votes. The speeder is the same model for both so if I can squeeze both rider types in the same mould, both will be on offer (assuming the voting results don't change dramatically).

Hang on a sec, there's a possibility of more em4 luverrleeeness but we can't see photos of them? Bit hard to vote if, like me, you don't have a clue about what the models look like?

Phil - I'm so disappointed in you; no gain without pain. You've got to put the effort in if you're part of the Great Spacelords Project - there's no spoonfeeding allowed. Sign up to Viruz's brilliant site and all is revealed.

The Wartech with machine cannon is clear winner, followed by S.E,C.S. with machine cannon. So, if I can squeeze both crew types in the mould, I can make them both available. and if everyone who voted for them buys at least one, that'll go some way to covering costs.

There's quite a lot of metal in these so the price will be about £6.50 (I'd probably want to make that £7.00 in the not too distant future but let's go with the lower price for now). That's for one speeder plus rider.
