Designing ProfilesNo Limits allows players to construct their ownprofiles for models used in their games. This reallyis the essence of the No Limits game concept,grab any figures in your collection and create aunique force.

To avoid the temptation to go overboard on theprofile construction and have overly powerful units,a few rules are enforced.

The total points value of a model consists of thefollowing profile elements:

Profile Characteristics

Armour

Weapons

Abilities, Traits and special rules

To create a profile, points are paid for each profileelement, the total points for the model is thecumulative total of the points paid.

The minimum points value for a model is 9 points.Any completed model profile that equates to lessthan 9 points are assumed to actually cost 9points.

The process starts with the profile characteristics.These consist of the actions (AC), ranged attack(RA), close combat (CC), strength (ST), toughness(T), wounds (W) command (CO) and armour (AR)values.

A good starting point for a model profile would bethe one shown below. This profile has a startingcost value of 9 points.

Nine Point ProfileAC RA CC ST T W CO AR

Points Cost 9

To adjust a profile characteristic value, refer to therelevant tables in the following pages adding the

points cost for each profile characteristic. Note thatthe points values are not cumulative.

Creating A ProfileIf we want to create a profile for a basic trooper,we may be aiming for a profile with the followingvalues.

Infantry TrooperAC RA CC ST T W CO AR

Points Cost 20

To create the above sample profile, the pointsvalues would be calculated as follows;

Armour ValuesModels should be equipped with armourappropriate to their appearance. The appearanceof a model is important and will help youropponent to see what he is up against. Youropponent may get upset if he charges a unit oftroopers wearing nothing but shirts only to be told

they are actually wearing heavy armour andcarrying riot shields.

The following table provides guidelines todetermine the armour values of the standardarmour types.

Armoured MountIf a cavalry mount is armoured, it will add a further+1 to the models armour value at the points costshown.

Armour AR +1

Points Cost +3

Remember that a cavalry model is a combinedprofile of the rider and mount, so the armour valuefor the whole model is calculated, rather than forrider and mount individually.

Example: A model wearing powered armour (AR4)with a riot shield (AR+1) and riding a scaly swamplizard (AR+1) would have a total armour value of 6(AR6).


Max AR

Unit Leaders 5Units 5

Maximum suggested armour values may be +1 ifthe model is mounted.

Natural Armour ValuesNot all models will actually wear armour, somehave it "built in" as part of their natural physicalbeing.

Models with natural armour will have a protectivevalue equivalent to a worn armour.

Description AR Value

None 0Toughened Hide 1 to 2Scaly Hide 3 to 4Carapace 5 to 6Large Creature +1

A large model may have an additional +1 armourto reflect its sheer mass at no extra points cost.

Armour VariationsThere will be other types of armour that do not fall

neatly into the categories specified. It is up toplayers to allocate an armour value to modelsappropriate with their actual appearance.

Adding Armour ResilienceArmour resilience (RE) is added to the points costof the armour.

Resilience (RE) Points Cost

+1 1+2 3+3 6+4 10

+5 15

Armour resilience should not be overused andprimarily allocated to individuals, characters andmodels with special armour.


6/26



Weapon SelectionMost models will have a single weapon, but eachmodel may have any number of weapons.

The models primary weapon is the mostexpensive weapon allocated to the model. In mostcases this will usually be the main weapon the

model is actually holding.

Second and subsequent weapons are purchasedat half the normal points cost (rounded up).

Example: A model holding a sword with an assault rifleslung over its back will pay the full points for the mostexpensive of the two weapons, in this case the assaultrifle. The cheaper points cost secondary weapon willbe at half the points value (rounded up), in this case,the sword.

Selecting AbilitiesModels may have additional abilities and skills thatthey have developed to increase and improve theirfighting prowess.

Abilities are selected from the abilit ies section andare added to the points value total of the modelprofile.

The points cost of each ability is per model.

Selecting TraitsSome attributes of a model are more inherent tothe physical essence of a model rather than being

skills and abilities which can be learnt throughtraining and practice. Such attributes are calledtraits.

Some traits correspond to a physical attribute ofthe model, such as the tail attack. Others, like there-animated trait identify the type of model.

The number of traits allocated to a model does notaffect the number of abilities that may be selected.

The type of traits selected should be appropriateto the model, for example, a flying model shouldhave wings.

Where shown, the points cost of each trait is permodel.

Selecting Negative Abilities Or TraitsSome models may require a negative ability ortrait of some sort to fully reflect the character ofthe model. Negative abilities and traits have anegative points value and this is deducted fromthe models overall points cost.

Models may have any number of negative abilitiesor traits.

Selecting EquipmentSome items carried by a model do not fall into theability or trait categories.

Additional equipment may be added to anymodels. Normally, equipment will not be used bybeasts or monsters, but there may well be caseswhen a creature model is depicted using orcarrying a piece of equipment of some description.

There is no real limit to the number of equipmentitems a model may be outfitted with although anyequipment selected would normally be visible onthe model.

Ability, Trait And Equipment MaximumsThe following maximum ability, trait and equipmentvalues for various model types are recommended.

Recommended Maximum LevelsAbilities Traits Equipment

Characters 5 3 5Individuals 4 3 4Unit Leaders 3 2 3

Units 2 2 2

Where possible, the models physical appearanceshould be the main guideline.

Focal ModelsUnits are sometimes accompanied by acommunications specialist, a scanner specialist ora standard bearer. These models are collectivelyknown as focal models.

A communications specialist will be in contact withall members of a unit via radio. He is able to relay

instructions from the unit leader and generallykeep the unit operating at peak efficiency.

Scanner specialists are able to locate enemypositions and more accurately utilise a unitsranged attacks.


7/26



A standard bearer will carry the regimental coloursor a totem of some sort that will inspire the unitand give them a focal point to rally around.

To include a focal model in a unit, a model isdesignated as such and must be appropriatelyequipped.

The special rules and the points value of focalmodels is given in the equipment section.

Unit focal models must have the same profilecharacteristics as the models in the unit they areattached to.

Army Battle StandardA single model in the army may be designated asthe army battle standard bearer. This is a specialstandard carried by a particularly favoured orheroic individual.

The army battle standard bearer is created as anindividual model and will normally have a profilesuperior to the regular rank and file troopers.

The special rules and the points value of the armybattle standard is given in the equipment section.

The army battle standard bearer may join any unit,and must be the only standard bearer in the unit.

Standard Model Points CostDue to the endless variety of models available for

use in the No Limits science fiction universe, thereis no hard rule as to a maximum points cost forany models. However, when creating a force, it isup to each player to try to balance out the pointscosts of all models used in the army. Most forceswill have plenty of rank and file models along withfewer better equipped and well trained elitemodels.

Psionics User Points ValuesAny model may be classified as a Psionic userand may therefore use Psionic effects.

The following points are added to the profilecreated for the Psionic user depending on thelevel selected.

User Level Points

Neophyte 0 3Novice 1 8Seer 2 12Master 3 20Grand Master 4 32

There are five levels of Psionics user. Each levelallows the model to take one Psionic effect exceptfor Neophyte level models who collectively learn asingle effect.

If a whole unit, such as a unit of Demons, is to beclassified as psionic users, then they may neverexceed Level 0 in their mastery. That is to say,they may only ever have one psionic effect and allthe models in the unit must have the same psioniceffect and cast it collectively.

In addition to the psionic level cost, each psioniceffect has a points value which must be added inthe same way that weapons are added to amodels total cost.

Standard Combination ModelsWhen a model is riding a motorcycle, jet bike orother such techno transport, the means oftransport does not require its own profile. Instead,the model profile of the trooper and his mode oftransport are combined into a single line profile.

Effectively, the trooper may have additionalstrength (ST), toughness (T) and wounds (W) toreflect the sturdiness of the vehicle he is using.

The vehicle cannot attack of its own accord, andso does not require separate ranged attack (RA),close combat (CC) or strength (ST).

10 6 5 5 6 3 7 4

Flying (1AC=3)

Move & Fire LMG (10/+1, 20/+0, 30/-1, RoA 3, ST6)

The example above details a flying jet bikeequipped with a Light Machine Gun. The modelprofile has combined the jet bike profile with that ofthe driver to give a single line profile.

The higher strength (ST), toughness (T), wounds(W) and armour (AR) all reflect the benefit of ridinga vehicle made from strong materials.

The use cost (UC) of ranged weapons does notneed to be shown as any ranged weapons may befired once during the models activation.

Special Combination ModelsSome models may be mounted on a special steedwhich is a living creature in its own right. Basiccavalry steeds have the rider and steed profilecombined into a single profile. When the rider ismounted on a more unusual beast, such as aprehistoric beast or a demonic creature, the steedmay have some special abilities or attacks whichcan be used during gameplay.

Example: A beast with a long tail may be given the tailattack trait. The rider cannot use this ability in closecombat.

The profile has the rider as the main element ofthe model, with the steed as a secondary element.Some of the model attributes will be common toboth of the elements of the model. These are thenumber of actions (AC), toughness (T), wounds(W), command (CO) and armour (AR) values. The

elements that are separate are the ranged attack(RA), close combat (CC) and strength (ST).

Each element of the model may be equippeddifferently of have different special abilities.

HMG (UC9, 12/+1. 24/+0, 36/-1, RoA 4, ST7, PM-1)

In close combat, both the rider and steed may fightat the same time, but at the higher action cost ofthe two models attacks. That is to say, if the riderhas an attack that costs 4 actions (AC) to use and

the steed has an attack that costs 3 actions (AC)to use, both occur at the same time for 4 actions(AC).

Example : The motorcycle and sidecar outfit detailedabove is involved in a melee. The driver may fire his

pistol in close combat for 4 actions (AC). The sidecargunner is only equipped with a heavy machine gunwhich may not be used in close combat. The sidecargunner may still make an improvised attack at his ownbase strength (ST) for 3 actions (AC). In combat, thedriver and the sidecar gunner may make their closecombat attacks at the same time, but they areresolved at the higher action (AC) cost, in this case, 4

actions (AC) for the pistol.

Combination model profiles can be created forcharacter models where the model is riding aspecial or unusual mount.

Calculating Combination ModelsWhen calculating the points cost of a combinedmodel, the points cost of all the elements is addedup to find the total points cost of the model.

The best way to calculate a combination model isto first create the profile for the main element or

model. This will consist of all the profilecharacteristics starting with the number of actionsto the command value. The second and (ifrequired) the third elements are then costed.These will only consist of the ranged attack, closecombat and strength values. In the case ofinanimate objects such as chariots, the rangedattack and close combat values may not berequired. Once the profile has been created, thearmour value may be selected. The armourapplies to the model as a whole and individualmodel elements do not have their own armourvalue. Weapons and abilities are selected in thenormal way. Different model elements of thecombination model may have different weapons orabilities although they will all usually get used atthe same time. It is just more convenient andsomewhat easier to understand if weapons are"assigned" to a model element.

Creating Large Vehicle ProfilesLarge vehicle models are obviously much tougherthan smaller units and can thus take a lot moredamage before they are destroyed.

Wounds/DamageLarge vehicles may have a much higher wound(W) value than medium sized models.

W 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 etc

Points Cost +120 +140 +160 +180 +200 +220 +240

There is no realistic way of producing a formula toallocate wounds to a model based on size ormass. Much will depend on the construction of the

model, the level of technology, or in the case of aliving model, its physical resilience.

Reaper Battle Titan(model by Armorcast 1999,

from a Games Workshop design)

When creating a very large model profile, the onlyway to produce a fair wound level is to playtestagain and again.

When you are done, play against the model to seejust how tough you made it.

2D10 Armour SaveVery large models with more than 8 woundsshould not have the 2D10 armour save feature. Inaddition, a high toughness (T) value in conjunctionwith the 2D10 armour save should be avoided asmodels will become very difficult to damage.

Allocating The Damage TrackerThe damage tracker will have a number of cellsequal to the total number of wounds (damage) amodel can take before it is destroyed.

When designing a custom damage tracker, atleast one movement (Mv) cell and one weapon(Wp) cell should be present on each row of 5complete wounds. The suggested ratio is onemovement (Mv) cell every four cells and oneweapon (Wp) cell every five cells. Ideally, thenumber of weapon (Wp) cells should be one lessthan the total number of weapons on the model.

This may require that two weapon (Wp) cells arepresent on low wound total models.

Damage Tracker

1 Wp Mv WpA 5 wound damage tracker

Example : The Zeus Fire Support Walker has a total offive wounds yet is heavily armed with three mainweapons (chain gun, missile launcher and a powerfist). Consequently, the damage tracker has twoweapon (Wp) cells and a single movement (Mv) cell.

Close Combat Weapon CreationA wide selection of close combat and rangedweapons are available in the armoury section. Youmay however feel the need to create a particularweapon profile not listed in the selection available.

Weapons are either basic close combat weapons

or powered energy weapons.

In most instances, a weapon required for aspecific model may have the same performancecharacteristics as an existing weapon. If an ElectroSword is required for a custom model profile, theprofile for a standard Energy Sword could be usedand so have the same points value.

Close Combat Rate Of Attack

Most close combat weapons will have a singleattack per use. Some more powerful weaponsmay have an increase rate of attack.

RoA 1 2 3 4

Points Cost +0 +5 +10 +15

A rate of attack (RoA) of 3 or 4 may only be usedby individuals and characters.

If the rate of attack is greater than 1, the damage(DA) per hit may not be greater than 1.

Example : A close combat weapon with a rate ofattack (RoA) of 2 or more may only inflict 1 damage(DA) per hit.

Close Combat Weapon StrengthThe strength (ST) for the close combat weaponmust be defined as either a strength (ST) bonuswhich is added to the models base strength (ST)or a powered energy weapon which has a fixedstrength (ST).

Remember that the total strength of an attack willstill automatically have an armour modifier (AM).

The total strength (ST) of an attack may neverexceed 10. If the models strength (ST) plus theweapon strength (ST) bonus totals 11 or more, thestrength of the attack is resolved at strength (ST)10.

Close Combat Weapon DamageMost weapons will only inflict a single damage(DA) point for each successful wound.

A few powerful weapons may inflict an extrawound on a successful attack.

DA 1 2Points Cost +0 +10

If the damage (DA) value is greater than 1, therate of attack (RoA) may not exceed 1.

Example : A close combat weapon with a damage(DA) value of 2 may only have a rate of attack (RoA)of 1.

Close Combat Weapon Use CostThe base cost for an improvised close combatattack is 3 actions (AC). This is resolved at the

models normal unmodified strength (ST).

For each additional point of strength (ST)conferred by a non-powered weapon, increase theuse cost (UC) required by 1 action (AC).

ST +0 +1 +2 +3

Use Cost 3 4 5 6

Example : A close combat weapon with a strength(ST) of +2 will require 2 additional actions (AC) to beused on top of the base attack cost of 3 actions (AC)giving a total of 5 actions (AC) required.

Powered energy weapons have a slightly differentuse cost (UC) formula. The starting point is astrength (ST) 4 powered weapon requiring 3actions (AC) to use. For each additional point ofstrength (ST), the use cost (UC) is increased by 1.

ST 4 5 6 7 8 9

Use Cost 3 4 5 6 7 8

For each extra rate of attack (RoA) greater than 1,increase the use cost (UC) by 1.

Example : A close combat weapon with a rate of

attack (RoA) of 2 will require 1 extra action (AC) forthe weapon to be used.

For each point of damage (DA) inflicted greaterthan 1, increase the use cost (UC) by 1.

Example : A close combat weapon which inflicts 2damage (DA) will require 1 extra action (AC) for theweapon to be used..

The extra use cost (UC) required to use a weaponis cumulative.

Example : A close combat weapon with a strength(ST) of +1 and a rate of attack (RoA) of 2 will require 2additional actions (AC) for the weapon to be used, 1for the extra strength (ST) and 1 for the extra rate ofattack (RoA).

Creature Close Combat WeaponsA special close combat attack does have to berestricted to a weapon being carried by a model.Some creatures may well have innate weapons orabilities built into their bodies. These may be

optional weapons such as massive fists or rendingjaws.

If the damage (DA) value is greater than 1, therate of attack (RoA) may not exceed 1.

Example : A ranged weapon with a damage (DA)value of 2 may only have a rate of attack (RoA) of 1.

Ranged Weapon Use CostThe base cost for a strength (ST) 4 rangedweapon attack is 3 actions (AC).

For each additional point of strength (ST)conferred by a weapon, increase the use cost(UC) required by 1 action.

Example : A ranged weapon with a strength (ST) of 5will require 4 actions (AC) to be used.


Example : A ranged weapon with a rate of attack(RoA) of 2 will require 1 extra action (AC) for theweapon to be used.


The extra use cost (UC) required to use a weaponis cumulative.

Example : A close combat weapon with a strength(ST) of +1 and a rate of attack (RoA) of 2 will require 2additional actions (AC) for the weapon to be used, 1for the extra strength (ST) and 1 for the extra rate ofattack (RoA).

Heavy Weapon CreationThese guidelines allow for the creation of customheavy weapons and support weapons.

A heavy support weapon is defined as a weaponwith a rate of attack (RoA) greater than 2, orstrength (ST) greater than 6.

A heavy weapon may be carried by a model ormounted on a weapon chassis or gun carriage.

In addition to the heavy weapon, the modelcarrying the weapon or the crew must also bepurchased at additional points cost.

Support Weapon Chassis ProfileIn the event that the heavy support weapon is tobe mounted on a chassis or gun carriage, it willhave the following toughness (T), wounds (W) andarmour (AR) profile.

Combination WeaponsSome weapons such as missile launchers arecapable of using a variety or munitions. Forexample, a missile launcher may be equipped withanti-personnel fragmentation missiles and highexplosive vehicle buster missiles.

To calculate the points value of a combinationweapon, the weapon is calculated as normal withthe highest strength munition.

The second munition type must be of an equalor lower strength value.

The range may not exceed the range specified

on the primary munition type.

All weapon attributes (except range) for thesecond munitions type are calculated as normaland then reduced by 50% (rounded up).

Weapon Special RulesSome weapons can have special rules whichenhance their performance and make the weapona bit different from standard weapons. Themajority of these special rules are really intendedfor heavy weapons, but the penetration modifierand knock prone are also suitable for some close

combat and standard ranged combat weapons.

Range Modifier Points CostThe standard range modifiers for all rangedweapons is +1 for short range (SR), +0 formedium range (MR) and 1 for long range (LR).

Standard ranged weapons may select alternativerange modifiers at the points shown.

The Penetration modifier (PM) cost is per rate ofattack (RoA).

Example : A weapon with a rate of attack (RoA) valueof 2 and a required penetration modifier (PM) of 1 willcost 2 x +1 points for a penetration modifier cost of +2

points in total.

Comments On Creating ProfilesAs has been stressed before, the profile should asmuch as possible match the physical appearanceof the model in question. This is the central goldenrule when creating a model profile.

Sometimes you may feel it is necessary to bend

the model creation guidelines to create the modelprofile you are after. The points for the profilecharacteristics however, should not be adjusted.

The abilities section has some restrictions on theallocation of certain abilities to units, you mayhowever feel it is necessary to use an abilityusually restricted to an individual or character for aunit.

A particular model may need a special rule orability created for it to accurately reflect themodels characteristics or how it would behave in

our science fiction reality.

When creating a standard model that uses a large40mm base for example, you may feel the modelprofile requires more than one wound (W) or anextra special skill, or indeed the allocation of threeabilities instead of the normal two.

It is important to remember that these pages oncreating a profile offer some hard and fast rulesand some guidelines. The objective is to make abalanced army with strengths as well asweaknesses.

The final test after creating a custom armyis to not play with it, but to play against it!There is no better way to see if an army isunbalanced or, to use a term favoured bysome wargaming forums, cheesy orbeardy.

Just remember,its a game,

have fun.
