Berserker skateboarders!

that would help

THE EXTREME POwer bOArd berserkr now 70% more likely to kill someone

more though its the general and quick movement of troops early in a game that would help the Vol immensly.thier relativly slow troops with <a href='http://tinyurl.com/y42zurt'>alot</a> of close in skill they deal death at 6" you just have to get them there first

I've come up with a way to get my Berserker into battle quickly, it consists of:
1 Rocket engine,
4 Short fins,
1 seat
and 1 Rollercoaster-style seat bar, to hold him in place during the short flight.
It doesn't fly so much as it, erm... hops.

Sounds like an ork invention... you got a BigMek making all your stuff?

awesome, i can just imagine a berserker going about his busines on a seat of flame

I have made some changes to the Vol infantry, namely getting rid of their useless shields, and upgrading their armor to Powered armor (by raising the CP and removing the movement penalty,) Also I have added a more random element to their armor.
I have also come up with some stats regarding the Shotguns I use, with a little tweaking, they would work as flamethrower stats as well.
My new stats are as follows:
Vol weapons:
Battlerifle: cost 3CP, shots 3, use 3, range 6", damage 1d6
Controlled fire. Cost: 2CP
The standard tactic used by the Vol
is a three-round burst, however, a Vol trooper may
take the time to line up his sights, resulting in higher
accuracy, at the expense of rate-of-fire. A Vol trooper
can trade his three shots at 1D6 accuracy for two shots
at 1D6+1, or one shot at 1D6+2. Alternately, he can add
shots by subtracting points from his roll.

Flechette Shotgun: cost 3CP, shots 1, use 3, range 6", damage 1d6
Flechette cloud. Cost: 2CP
Instead of using steel or lead pellets or slugs in their
shotguns, (as more humane civilizations would) the
Vol use a titanium fin-stabilized dart. This type of
ammunition is deadlier and more accurate than the
traditional load. For every 2" within the 6" range,
add 1d6 to the damage roll.

Vol heavy infantry
cost: 14CP
skill: 1d6
move: 5"
armor: 1d6+3
Equipment:
Powered armor: cost 3CP, +1d6 Armor
Battlerifle: cost 3CP, shots: 3, use 3, range 6", damage 1d6
CQC weapon: cost 2CP, use 2, range CC, damage 1d6
Specialty:
Controlled fire. Cost: 2CP
See above.

Isn't that a bit of a low cost?

Not really, you should see how often they jam or outright explode.
Really I get what I pay for, also the specialty is what makes them effective, so the cost is actually 5CP

Well, a regular weapon with a use of 3, range of 6", and damage of 1d6 costs 3CP, so one that takes 3 shots automatically should be at least 9CP in my mind. More because it's that much fire-power for one minifig.

Well, for my own two cents worth I prefer to represent rapid rates of firepower with a better to hit roll, even if it means a use of 2 in some cases. That way you balance the increased probability of a hit with only being able to hit one target. It's more deadly but in some ways more limited.

I also think 1D6 is very light for any kind of rifle and suits a pistol better. Natalya's way of looking at it fits, rifles that hit would/should kill.

awesome! if i where you i would just try to reduce that effect on the fonts, to make them more legible u know?
but your Vol dudes kick ass!
