'Official' rules for the hobgoblin/nippon rocket launcher?

Would anyone have them? Or rather do they exist?
3rd Edition has the portable rocket launcher, which is more of a panzerschreck style weapon, and the mortar rules just don't seem to fit.
Were they ever published in a WD?

thanks in advance.

None that I have ever seen. However, in true Oldhammer style you could invent your own, including lots of d10 charts, and publish them here. They would be very popular reading I am sure.

I'd be interested if you did - got two of them lurking in the pile of unpainted lead that will one day become my Hobgoblin horde...

I'm sure I've read them though it may well have been rules for the Nipon version and may well be for 2nd. A trawl of the wd may be needed.

Rules for Nippon launchers are in Ravening Hordes. Oddly, they aren't in the hobgoblin mercenaries section.

Dang nabbit Zoggin Eck I was just coming here to post that they were in Ravening Hordes.
 
Re: 'Official' rules for the hobgoblin/nippon rocket launche

A simple approach would be to use the rules for the Nippon launchers in Ravening Hordes but give the hobgoblins a slight detriment e.g. a slightly increased chance of misfiring or something. Or assume that Hobgoblins are actually cunning and relatively intelligent for a goblinoids and stick to the same rules as for Nippon :) .

Thanks guys :)
Much appreciated

Didn't 3rd also consolidate some of the warmachine rules? I'd check, but I'm about 2,500 miles from my book... :|

Indeed it did, there are rules for a generic 'Skyrocket' on page 117 which would do the trick. It's in the Engines of War section under Portable Weapons. What an amazing book! :grin:

Fancy that - didn't think of looking in either of those tomes! :roll:
