Designing Profiles
Infantry Trooper
No Limits allows players to construct their own

profiles for models used in their games. This really
is the essence of the No Limits game concept,
grab any figures in your collection and create a
unique force.
To avoid the temptation to go overboard on the
profile construction and have overly powerful units,
a few rules are enforced.
The total points value of a model consists of the
following profile elements:
Profile Characteristics
Armour
Weapons
Abilities, Traits and special rules
The minimum points value for a model is 9 points.

Any completed model profile that equates to less
than 9 points are assumed to actually cost 9
points.
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 be
the one shown below. This profile has a starting
cost value of 9 points.

v1.2 October 2006
Armour Values
Models should be equipped with armour
appropriate to their appearance. The appearance
of a model is important and will help your
opponent to see what he is up against. Your
opponent may get upset if he charges a unit of
troopers wearing nothing but shirts only to be told
they are actually wearing heavy armour and
carrying riot shields.
The following table provides guidelines to
determine the armour values of the standard
armour types.

Remember that a cavalry model is a combined
profile of the rider and mount, so the armour value
for the whole model is calculated, rather than for
rider and mount individually.
There will be other types of armour that do not fall

neatly into the categories specified. It is up to
players to allocate an armour value to models
appropriate with their actual appearance.

v1.2 October 2006
Weapon Selection
Selecting Negative Abilities Or Traits
Most models will have a single weapon, but each

model may have any number of weapons.
Some models may require a negative ability or

trait of some sort to fully reflect the character of
the model. Negative abilities and traits have a
negative points value and this is deducted from
the models overall points cost.
The models primary weapon is the most

expensive weapon allocated to the model. In most
cases this will usually be the main weapon the
model is actually holding.
Second and subsequent weapons are purchased
at half the normal points cost (rounded up).
Models may have any number of negative abilities

or traits.
Selecting Equipment
Some items carried by a model do not fall into the
ability or trait categories.
Example: A model holding a sword with an assault rifle

slung over its back will pay the full points for the most
expensive of the two weapons, in this case the assault
rifle. The cheaper points cost secondary weapon will
be at half the points value (rounded up), in this case,
the sword.
Additional equipment may be added to any

models. Normally, equipment will not be used by
beasts or monsters, but there may well be cases
when a creature model is depicted using or
carrying a piece of equipment of some description.
Selecting Abilities
Models may have additional abilities and skills that
they have developed to increase and improve their
fighting prowess.
There is no real limit to the number of equipment

items a model may be outfitted with although any
equipment selected would normally be visible on
the model.
Abilities are selected from the abilities section and

are added to the points value total of the model
profile.
Ability, Trait And Equipment Maximums
The points cost of each ability is per model.
The following maximum ability, trait and equipment

values for various model types are recommended.
Selecting Traits
Some attributes of a model are more inherent to
the physical essence of a model rather than being
skills and abilities which can be learnt through
training and practice. Such attributes are called
traits.
Some traits correspond to a physical attribute of
the model, such as the tail attack. Others, like the
re-animated trait identify the type of model.
The number of traits allocated to a model does not
affect the number of abilities that may be selected.
The type of traits selected should be appropriate
to the model, for example, a flying model should
have wings.
Where shown, the points cost of each trait is per
model.

Where possible, the models physical appearance

should be the main guideline.
Focal Models
Units are sometimes accompanied by a
communications specialist, a scanner specialist or
a standard bearer. These models are collectively
known as focal models.
A communications specialist will be in contact with
all members of a unit via radio. He is able to relay
instructions from the unit leader and generally
keep the unit operating at peak efficiency.
Scanner specialists are able to locate enemy
positions and more accurately utilise a units
ranged attacks.
Page 3.6
v1.2 October 2006
A standard bearer will carry the regimental colours

or a totem of some sort that will inspire the unit
and give them a focal point to rally around.
To include a focal model in a unit, a model is
designated as such and must be appropriately
equipped.
The special rules and the points value of focal
models is given in the equipment section.
Unit focal models must have the same profile
characteristics as the models in the unit they are
attached to.
Army Battle Standard

A single model in the army may be designated as
the army battle standard bearer. This is a special
standard carried by a particularly favoured or
heroic individual.
The army battle standard bearer is created as an
individual model and will normally have a profile
superior to the regular rank and file troopers.
The special rules and the points value of the army
battle 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.
Psionics User Points Values

Any model may be classified as a Psionic user
and may therefore use Psionic effects.
The following points are added to the profile
created for the Psionic user depending on the
level selected.
User
Neophyte
Novice
Seer
Master
Grand Master
Level
0

Points

There are five levels of Psionics user. Each level

allows the model to take one Psionic effect except
for Neophyte level models who collectively learn a
single effect.
If a whole unit, such as a unit of Demons, is to be
classified as psionic users, then they may never
exceed Level 0 in their mastery. That is to say,
they may only ever have one psionic effect and all
the models in the unit must have the same psionic
effect and cast it collectively.
In addition to the psionic level cost, each psionic
effect has a points value which must be added in
the same way that weapons are added to a
models total cost.
Standard Model Points Cost

Due to the endless variety of models available for
use in the No Limits science fiction universe, there
is no hard rule as to a maximum points cost for
any models. However, when creating a force, it is
up to each player to try to balance out the points
costs of all models used in the army. Most forces
will have plenty of rank and file models along with
fewer better equipped and well trained elite
models.

Standard Combination Models

When a model is riding a motorcycle, jet bike or
other such techno transport, the means of
transport does not require its own profile. Instead,
the model profile of the trooper and his mode of
transport are combined into a single line profile.
Effectively, the trooper may have additional
strength (ST), toughness (T) and wounds (W) to
reflect the sturdiness of the vehicle he is using.
The vehicle cannot attack of its own accord, and
so does not require separate ranged attack (RA),
close combat (CC) or strength (ST).

The example above details a flying jet bike

equipped with a Light Machine Gun. The model
profile has combined the jet bike profile with that of
the driver to give a single line profile.
The higher strength (ST), toughness (T), wounds
(W) and armour (AR) all reflect the benefit of riding
a vehicle made from strong materials.
The use cost (UC) of ranged weapons does not
need to be shown as any ranged weapons may be
fired once during the models activation.
Special Combination Models

Some models may be mounted on a special steed
which is a living creature in its own right. Basic
cavalry steeds have the rider and steed profile
combined into a single profile. When the rider is
mounted on a more unusual beast, such as a
prehistoric beast or a demonic creature, the steed
may have some special abilities or attacks which
can be used during gameplay.
Ziekee Thakosaur Cavalry

(model FASA)
Example: A beast with a long tail may be given the tail

attack trait. The rider cannot use this ability in close
combat.
The profile has the rider as the main element of

the model, with the steed as a secondary element.
Some of the model attributes will be common to
both of the elements of the model. These are the
number of actions (AC), toughness (T), wounds
(W), command (CO) and armour (AR) values. The

HMG (UC9, 12/+1. 24/+0, 36/-1, RoA 4, ST7, PM-1)
In close combat, both the rider and steed may fight
at the same time, but at the higher action cost of
the two models attacks. That is to say, if the rider
has 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 detailed
above is involved in a melee. The driver may fire his
pistol in close combat for 4 actions (AC). The sidecar
gunner is only equipped with a heavy machine gun
which may not be used in close combat. The sidecar
gunner may still make an improvised attack at his own
base strength (ST) for 3 actions (AC). In combat, the
driver and the sidecar gunner may make their close
combat attacks at the same time, but they are
resolved at the higher action (AC) cost, in this case, 4
actions (AC) for the pistol.

Combination model profiles can be created for

character models where the model is riding a
special or unusual mount.
AC
10
The best way to calculate a combination model is

to first create the profile for the main element or
model. This will consist of all the profile
characteristics starting with the number of actions
to the command value. The second and (if
required) the third elements are then costed.
These will only consist of the ranged attack, close
combat and strength values. In the case of
inanimate objects such as chariots, the ranged
attack and close combat values may not be
required. Once the profile has been created, the
armour value may be selected. The armour
applies to the model as a whole and individual
model elements do not have their own armour
value. Weapons and abilities are selected in the
normal way. Different model elements of the
combination model may have different weapons or
abilities although they will all usually get used at
the same time. It is just more convenient and
somewhat easier to understand if weapons are
"assigned" to a model element.

Creating Large Vehicle Profiles
2D10 Armour Save
Large vehicle models are obviously much tougher

than smaller units and can thus take a lot more
damage before they are destroyed.
Very large models with more than 8 wounds

should not have the 2D10 armour save feature. In
addition, a high toughness (T) value in conjunction
with the 2D10 armour save should be avoided as
models will become very difficult to damage.
Wounds/Damage
Large vehicles may have a much higher wound
(W) value than medium sized models.

There is no realistic way of producing a formula to
allocate wounds to a model based on size or
mass. Much will depend on the construction of the
model, the level of technology, or in the case of a
living model, its physical resilience.
Allocating The Damage Tracker

The damage tracker will have a number of cells
equal to the total number of wounds (damage) a
model can take before it is destroyed.
When designing a custom damage tracker, at
least one movement (Mv) cell and one weapon
(Wp) cell should be present on each row of 5
complete wounds. The suggested ratio is one
movement (Mv) cell every four cells and one
weapon (Wp) cell every five cells. Ideally, the
number of weapon (Wp) cells should be one less
than the total number of weapons on the model.
This may require that two weapon (Wp) cells are
present on low wound total models.
Damage Tracker
Wp Mv Wp
A 5 wound damage tracker
Example : The Zeus Fire Support Walker has a total of

five wounds yet is heavily armed with three main
weapons (chain gun, missile launcher and a power
fist). Consequently, the damage tracker has two
weapon (Wp) cells and a single movement (Mv) cell.

When creating a very large model profile, the only

way to produce a fair wound level is to playtest
again and again.
When you are done, play against the model to see
just how tough you made it.

A wide selection of close combat and ranged
weapons are available in the armoury section. You
may however feel the need to create a particular
weapon profile not listed in the selection available.
Weapons are either basic close combat weapons
or powered energy weapons.

Example : A close combat weapon with a rate of

attack (RoA) of 2 or more may only inflict 1 damage

Close Combat Weapon Strength

The strength (ST) for the close combat weapon
must be defined as either a strength (ST) bonus
which is added to the models base strength (ST)
or a powered energy weapon which has a fixed
strength (ST).
Remember that the total strength of an attack will
still automatically have an armour modifier (AM).

In most instances, a weapon required for a

specific model may have the same performance
characteristics as an existing weapon. If an Electro
Sword is required for a custom model profile, the
profile for a standard Energy Sword could be used
and so have the same points value.

Close Combat Weapon Damage

Most weapons will only inflict a single damage
(DA) point for each successful wound.
The extra use cost (UC) required to use a weapon

is cumulative.
Example : A close combat weapon with a strength
(ST) of +1 and a rate of attack (RoA) of 2 will require 2
additional actions (AC) for the weapon to be used, 1
for the extra strength (ST) and 1 for the extra rate of
attack (RoA).
A few powerful weapons may inflict an extra

wound on a successful attack.

Charge Restricted Weapons

Close Combat Weapon Use Cost
The base cost for an improvised close combat
attack 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 the
use cost (UC) required by 1 action (AC).
ST
Use Cost
A close combat weapon may be created which is

only allowed to be used on a charge action. To
represent this restricted usage, the points cost of
the weapon is reduced by 2. In addition, the use
cost (UC) of the weapon is also reduced by 1
action.

giving a total of 5 actions (AC) required.
Powered energy weapons have a slightly different

use cost (UC) formula. The starting point is a
strength (ST) 4 powered weapon requiring 3
actions (AC) to use. For each additional point of
strength (ST), the use cost (UC) is increased by 1.

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

the weapon to be used.
For each point of damage (DA) inflicted greater

Ranged Weapon Creation
Ranged Combat Strength
Standard ranged combat weapons cover items

such as pistols and rifles. Profiles for standard
weapons are provided in the armoury section. If an
alternative weapon is required, these rules provide
the guidelines for creating a unique weapon
profile.
The strength of a ranged weapon is determined by

the following table.

Rate Of Attack
The rate of attack (RoA) of a ranged weapon
reflects how many times the weapon can fire a
shot when activated. Most weapons will fire only
one round, but automatic weapons such as
machine guns and assault rifles may fire additional
rounds.

v1.2 October 2006
Heavy Weapon Creation
Rate Of Attack Or Blast Effect
These guidelines allow for the creation of custom

heavy weapons and support weapons.
A heavy weapon may have a rate of attack (RoA)

value greater than 1 or use a blast effect but not
both. When creating a heavy weapon, select the
method of attack best suited to the weapon.
A heavy support weapon is defined as a weapon

with a rate of attack (RoA) greater than 2, or
strength (ST) greater than 6.
A heavy weapon may be carried by a model or
mounted on a weapon chassis or gun carriage.
In addition to the heavy weapon, the model
carrying the weapon or the crew must also be
purchased at additional points cost.
Support Weapon Chassis Profile

In the event that the heavy support weapon is to
be mounted on a chassis or gun carriage, it will
have the following toughness (T), wounds (W) and

Most heavy weapons would have a minimum

strength value of 6.
Heavy Weapon Use Cost

The base use cost (UC) for a strength (ST) 6
heavy weapon with a rate of attack (RoA) of 1 is 4
actions (AC).
conferred by a heavy weapon, increase the use
cost (UC) required by 1 action.
Example : A heavy weapon with a strength (ST) of 8
and a rate of attack (RoA) of 1 will require 6 actions
(AC) to be used.

Example : A heavy weapon with a rate of attack (RoA)
of 3 will require 2 extra actions (AC) for the weapon to
be used.

Weapon Special Rules

Some weapons can have special rules which
enhance their performance and make the weapon
a bit different from standard weapons. The
majority of these special rules are really intended
for heavy weapons, but the penetration modifier
and knock prone are also suitable for some close
combat and standard ranged combat weapons.
As a rule, a penetration modifier (PM) will only be

used for high strength weapons.
Remember that strength (ST) 6 and above have a
built in armour modifier (AM). The following table
summarises the strength (ST) of an attack with an
added penetration modifier (PM).
Range Modifier Points Cost

The standard range modifiers for all ranged
weapons is +1 for short range (SR), +0 for
medium range (MR) and 1 for long range (LR).
Standard ranged weapons may select alternative
range modifiers at the points shown.

Projectile travel may not be allocated to a weapon

with a rate of attack (RoA) of greater than 1 or a
weapon which uses any blast or teardrop

This ability is best suited to weapons that fire large
piercing projectiles such as harpoon guns and bolt
throwers.

Additional Damage / Wound
Residual Damage Cost
It is rare for a weapon to inflict more than one

wound when successfully damaging a target.
The cost of residual damage is equal to half the

strength points cost (rounded up).

For example, residual damage on a weapon with

strength (ST) of 7 would cost 7 points. These
points are added to the cost of the weapon and
detailed as a special rule.
Allocating the extra wound ability to a weapon

should be restricted to special close combat
weapons and heavy weapons.

Residual Damage: When a target model is
damaged by a Shard Injector, place a single residual
damage counter next to the model. Each time the
model is subsequently activated, it will suffer another
immediate strength (ST) 7 damage roll. There is no
need to roll to hit and the target does not get an armour
save, just the damage roll is made.

Residual Smoke Cost

Weapons that use a blast template may leave
residual smoke after the initial blast.
The points cost of such a template is half the

The residual smoke points cost is added to the

weapon cost.
When used, a smoke template of equal size to the
original blast remains in play. It will subsequently
follow the rules for smoke during the compulsory
effects phase.
A weapon that inflicts residual damage may not

have a rate of attack (RoA) greater than 1.
Residual damage may not inflict more than a
single point of damage although the initial attack
may inflict an extra damage point if paid for in the
normal manner.

Comments On Creating Profiles

As has been stressed before, the profile should as
much as possible match the physical appearance
of the model in question. This is the central golden
rule when creating a model profile.
Sometimes you may feel it is necessary to bend
the model creation guidelines to create the model
profile you are after. The points for the profile
characteristics however, should not be adjusted.
The abilities section has some restrictions on the
allocation of certain abilities to units, you may
however feel it is necessary to use an ability
usually restricted to an individual or character for a
unit.
A particular model may need a special rule or
ability created for it to accurately reflect the
models characteristics or how it would behave in
our science fiction reality.
When creating a standard model that uses a large
40mm base for example, you may feel the model
profile requires more than one wound (W) or an
extra special skill, or indeed the allocation of three
abilities instead of the normal two.
It is important to remember that these pages on
creating a profile offer some hard and fast rules
and some guidelines. The objective is to make a
balanced army with strengths as well as
weaknesses.
Dozer Chieftain painted by Gurth

(model FASA)
The final test after creating a custom army

is to not play with it, but to play against it!
There is no better way to see if an army is
unbalanced or, to use a term favoured by
some wargaming forums, cheesy or
beardy.
Just remember,
its a game,
have fun.

Leviathon Heavy Battle Tank
Sample Vehicle Profiles

With the wide range of vehicles available and the
endless possibilities when scratch building a
model, a model profile will vary greatly from one
vehicle to another.
The Leviathon is a heavy battle tank used

primarily by the Sovereigns. With its powerful
turret mounted battle cannon and supporting
weapon systems, the Leviathon is a dominating
factor on the battlefield.
