Adding new vehicle? - Caestus Assault Ram

Total newbie here to this site but a search didn't find anything. I have AB licenses and play 40K Space Marines with my sons. We have bought the Caestus Assault Ram from Forgeworld and our local GW lets us play this model in regular games. We want to have this as a vehicle in our AB lists, but gave up trying to figure out how to code this ourselves. For now we 'cheat' by using Vanguard Veterans to get the same FOC and point count. Has anyone created the code for this model? If not, can anyone do this or tell me how to do this without becoming a computer programmer?

Thanks.

This is an experimental rule from the Forgeworld website. Now that I know it is out there, I'll add it. Look for it certainly when the next major build is out, but I should manage to sneak it in with the Krieg and Elysian update which is currently undergoing beta review. Might also be one for Shaggai to do, or as I like to call him: Keeper of the Powered Armour.

In the meantime you could use the Generic Unit (you need to turn this on in the roster settings) to act as a placeholder for it rather than using a Vanguard Unit.

It should already be in the Space Marines file - and make sure that you have Imperial Armour ruleset checked. (PS. It's in Fast Attack and only certain SM chapters have access to it.)
