Narrics' Fandex Ideas & Entries Thread

[InsaneTD]

The hammerhead railgun is fine as it is in the codex. Anything more then heavy 1 with large blast is just over powered. And there is nothing in the fluff that says it fits more then twice. Rending would work better the more rolls. Rending was never supposed to be an anti tank rule, the first weapon to ever have it was a chain gun in game and the training for the rule was the amount of bullets hitting a target is what actually did the damage. Which is why it auto wounded at ap1 once upon a time. I think it would work with submunition rounds if you want it a bit stronger.

[Narric]

There is also the fact Rending only works on a 6.....

I guess I can deal with that.

[Narric]

This one is very bare bones. From what I had to start, I couldn't really find much direction Maybe after others seeing the material, something can actually be made of this?

Zombies 40k
Unlike most of my other projects, this codex is simply made for fun. Hence I won’t waste space with a Background and Unit description section, the names should be enough We all know what a Zombie is like, and if you don’t, I’m sure you’ll learn by the time you’ve finished reading this. Very little has changed from the original word doc I have. I’ve mostly aimed to update things to 5th edition.

Special Rules
Undead Gaze
Due to the undead's uncanny ability to ‘smell’ living flesh, possibly even due to an unknown sixth sense, zombies are able to pick out their prey even when in complete darkness.
All models with this special rule are treated to have the Night Vision universal special rule.
Braaains!
The virus infuses Zombie units with an unquenchable hunger for living flesh. In addition to this, the unreceptive nerve endings in their own undead bodies make them care even less about what the living defend themselves with.
All models with this special rule are treated to have the Fearless and Feel no Pain universal special rules.
Destroy the Brain
Survivors of virus outbreaks have noted how the infected humans soak up many Lasgun shots with ease.
All models with this special rule cannot take their Feel no Pain save against shots with the Sniper weapon type.
Infection

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

For every enemy non-vehicle model killed in close combat by a Zombie unit with this special rule, roll a D6. On a 4+ the model is returned as a Zombie, with the following modifcations to their profile:
Weapon Skill: -1
Ballistic Skill: -2
Strength: +1
Toughness: +1
The model’s Wounds, Initiative, and armour save are modified to:
Wounds: 1
Initiative: 1
Armour Save: 5+ (unless originally worse)
The model loses all bonuses from any equipment and/or upgrades it was originally carrying, and is treated from now on to be equipped with just a close combat weapon.
Any vehicle destroyed in close combat by a Zombie unit with this special rule, roll a D6. On a 4+ the Zombie unit gains D3 Zombies, armed the same as the rest of the unit.

Plagues _{(instead of wargear)}

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Alpha Strain Claws
Supporting the theory that the virus is the work of Nurgle or Tzeentch, there have been reports of some specimens with diamond-hard claws protruding from their hands or large scythes along their arms; often being used to break through barricades that would normally stop lesser specimens.
Zombies with Alpha Strain Claws gain the Rending ability for all their close combat attacks.
Blood Cannon
Some weapons combined with a particular strain of the virus causes their users to merge with the weapon, mutating the weapon and indeed the user into a semi-biological launcher that fires large pellets of infected blood instead of their regular projectiles.
The Blood Cannon counts as having the Infection Zombie Trait when hitting, and benefits from the Potent Virus wargear.

Range	Strength	AP	Type
48"	6	-	Heavy 1

Blood Exertion
Apparently due to some kind of virus-borne instinct, some specimens have been seen to spew forth a mixture of its own blood mixed with other viscous liquids onto its prey, spreading the virus through the prey's eyes, mouth and various wounds.
Blood Exertion counts as a Poisoned Weapon that always wounds on a 3+.
Converter
This weapon has only came to the attention of the Inquisition relatively recently. Under tightly controlled supervision, the few lab tests conducted on this bio-weapon have shown it to exert an unnatural, Warp-like force that has somehow been able to burn through even the thickest of armour. Further tests have shown that the severity of the force diminishes greatly over range, though the average cases of possession still remains the same.
The Converter counts as having the Infection Zombie Trait; though as its ammunition does not use biological liquids from its user, it does not benefit from the Potent Virus wargear.

Convertor Type	Range	Strength	AP	Type
Regular	12"	7	1	Assault 1, Melta
Heavy	24"	7	1	Assault 1, Melta

Potent Virus
These zombies carry a very potent strain of the virus, causing havoc amongst the living infantry. While lab tests have found that it is still blood-borne, the Imperial Inquisition strongly advises that extreme care must be taken when disposing of infected bodies.
Models are Infected on a 2+ instead of 4+.
Undead Reanimation
There have been reports than some specimens take more than a single shot to the head to stop. The Inquisition has been conducting tests to determine whether this is due to a purer form of possession from the Warp.
Models with Undead Reanimation gain +1 wound.

Options:
May include up to Ninety more Zombies for 5pts per model

Special Rules:
- Undead Gaze
- Braaains!
- Infection
- Hunger: Zombies are always in need of fresh flesh to fuel the virus they carry. For this reason, the virus alters the host’s sense to quickly sniff out living blood and flesh. When a target has been found, the Zombie recklessly charges towards it. This rule confers an extra D6” when rolling for charge range.
- Horde: a unit that contains at least one model with this special rule, gains an additional +1 attack per model, for every five models more than the target unit in combat. This rule is not cumulative, and is worked out at the beginning of every  Assault Phase. E.g. A unit of 15 Zombies attacks a Combat squad of 5 Tactical Marines. The zombie unit gains +2 Attacks onto each model.
- No leadership no fear: So long as unit with this special rule is not joined by an independent character, it will NEVER be affected by Leadership based tests and weapons.

So I may be writing an army near completely from scratch

Exactly what does the name Orvald Fitzalan make you think?

[Charistoph]

Could be many things, but I want to say a very interesting Rogue Trader with exotic designs and very excentric stylings.

Or possibly an inquisitor.

Something I've recently picked up again. I've tried a supplement like this before, but it kinda flopped. I think I just wasn't very good at doing this sort of thing back then also, supplements weren't a thing back then deffinately XD

This is all i've made so far, but I really wanted to show what I'd done, so I've kinda posted this prematurely

Hired Guns
This supplement is intended to allow players to field additional and hopefully fun units in their games of 40k.
Some units will be available to every race, whilst some are only available to a select few. This will be written at the start of each entry.

Units chosen from this supplement do not count towards minimum requirements.

[Dra'Tuisisch-Novae]

This looks pretty solid from where I'm sitting. I must have missed what a "Void Engineseer" is, though - can you fill me in?

One note - as far as I'm aware, in 40k they're referred to as "Vampyres" with a "y'?

[Narric]

The Void Engineseer was my atempt at a more customisable Tech-priest, mostly born of some scraps of 2nd Ed inspired rules

I'll adjust the Vampyre entry

[Dra'Tuisisch-Novae]

Ah, gotcha. I take it they'd represent a dissident Mechanicus faction that lets them be more flexible (rules and allies-wise)?

[Narric]

Ah, gotcha. I take it they'd represent a dissident Mechanicus faction that lets them be more flexible (rules and allies-wise)?

Or just an Engineseer who has been left to his own devices _{(hurr hurr)} and must make a living as a technology savvy Merc

But yeah, pretty much

[Narric]

Can't decide what codex I should work on next. Got my hands on a few Chapter Approved, so I could try my hand at a few of the lists there.

If you have a suggestion, vote for the poll above, or leave a reply ^_^

Got bored so did the Armoured Company any way

No Warlord Traits yet!!

Codex: Imperial Guard Armoured Company

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Armoured Company Detachments
An Army chosen from this Codex follows normal rules for Army Detachments as described in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.
Armoured Company Detachment Force Organisation
See Warhammer 40,000 Rulebook for details.
Armoured Company Allies
An armoured Company detachment chosen from this codex follows the same allies’ matrix as Codex Imperial Guard.
This Codex may be allies to Codex Imperial Guard and is treated as Battle Brothers.

Armoured Company Special Rules

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Evacuate!
When a tank with this rule is either wrecked or explodes, it is treated to have one passenger which is the Tank Officer.
After rolling any damage the Officer would have taken, place a single model representing the Officer. The rule will include the Model name from Codex Imperial Guard that the model represents, and they have all the standard gear they would normally have.
For example, a Model with “Evacuate! (Company Commander)” would evacuate a model representing a Company Commander from Codex Imperial Guard, with all his standard Wargear (with any changes from upgrades).

Lumbering Behemoth
A model with this special rule is treated as Stationary if it moves at Combat Speed, and is treated as having moved at Combat Speed when it moves at Cruising Speed.
In addition, it may only move 6”+D6” when moving at Cruising Speed.

Armoured Company Orders
The Company Command may issue orders from his tank to his own Tank, or to another within 12”. The Order is resolved in the same way as Orders from Codex: Imperial Guard at Leadership 9. He may use the following orders:
Bring it Down! (see Codex Imperial Guard)
Fire on my Target! (see Codex Imperial Guard)
Move! Move! Move!
If the order is successfully issued, the Ordered unit/tank may immediately move D6”+1” and is counted to have moved Flat-out.

Lord Commissar
All Tanks in the same detachment as the Commissar Command Tank within 6” count as scoring when in the enemy Deployment Zone. This does not include the Commissar Command Tank.

Talk of Grey Knights in other parts of the forums has got me an itch to scratch. I'm currently working on "Cleaning Up" the 5th ed codex, to be less daft, and more sensible. Emperor have mercy on my soul....

Need an opinion on something though, and it is kinda pivotly to the new Codex. Critique is definately requested.

Grey Knights Ranks

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

As a Grey Knight climbs the Ranks within the Order, so to does his abilities and strength with his Psychic talents This is most apparent in how they wield their Nemesis Weaponry.
Each rank is an individual special rule, conferring its own bonuses. Nemesis Weaponry, though affected by the Grey Knight’s rank, does not also benefit from cumulative effects, such as Strength increase. If a unit contains different Ranks, Models use their individual ranks for Wargear, but the highest rank is used for the purposes of Deny the Witch rolls.
Grey Knight Initiate
Grey Knights with this rank may re-roll failed Deny the Witch rolls.
Grey Knight Justicar
A Grey Knight with the rank of Justicar gains the Adamantium Will special Rule, and gains the benefits of a Grey Knight Initiate.
Grey Knight Brotherhood Champion
A Grey Knight Brotherhood Champion gains the benefits of a Grey Knight Initiate and Justicar. In addition, on the Player turn in which the Brotherhood Champion successfully charges an enemy unit, all members of a squad he has joined can re-roll failed rolls to hit.
Grey Knight Brother-Captain
A Grey Knight Brother-Captain, gains +2 to his Deny the Witch rolls, and gains the benefits of a Grey Knight Initiate.
Grey Knight Grand Master
Grey Knight Grand Masters gain +2 to their Deny the Witch rolls, and project a 12” bubble around them where all successful enemy Psychic tests must be re-rolled, unless the Psyker rolls a double for the test. In addition he gains the benefits of a Grey Knight Initiate.
Lastly, only one Grey Knight with the rank Grand Master may be fielded per Grey Knight Detachment.

Its a little throwback to the 2nd Edition codex, and yes, Nemesis weapons will be adjusted as well to be reactive to the Ranks

Finally got the Grey Knight Psychic Powers done:

Grey Knight Psychic Powers
Primaris Power = Hammerhand (1 Warp Charge) – This is a Blessing that targets the Model or Unit that manifested the power. The Model or Unit benefits from +1 Strength this turn. A Model or Unit may only be affected by Hammerhand once per turn.
1. = Might of Titan (1 Warp Charge) - This is a Blessing that targets a single Model or Unit within 6” (Which can be the Psyker and any unit they have joined). The target benefits from +1 Strength this turn. This power is cumulative with Hammerhand, and may be manifested multiple times.
2. = Quicksilver (1 Warp Charge) - This is a Blessing that targets a single Model or Unit within 6” (Which can be the Psyker and any unit they have joined). The target’s Initiative is doubled for this turn.
3. = The Summoning (1 Warp Charge) - This is a Conjuration power that targets a single Model or Unit anywhere on the board that is not engaged in Close combat (This cannot be the Psyker or the unit he has joined). The target is completely removed from the table, and re-enters the board at the start of the next Grey Knight player turn via Deep Strike, though must enter play at least 6” from the Psyker that manifested the power. If the Psyker dies before the unit re-enters play, it must roll on the Deep Strike Mishap table, and if they are not destroyed may enter play anywhere on the board.
4. = Warp Rift (1 Warp Charge) - This is a Malediction power that targets a single enemy Model or Unit within 12” of the Psyker. Each non-vehicle model in the Target unit must take an Initiative test. Any that fail are treated to have suffered an Instant Death wound. Vehicles suffer a single hit with the Haywire special rule. Both types of Monstrous Creature roll 3D6 and pick the lowest for their Initiative test.
5. = Dark Excommunication (1 Warp Charge) - This is a Malediction power that targets the Model/Unit that manifested the power. When the Psyker targets a model in base with the Daemon special rule, they may re-roll all failed To Wound rolls for this turn.
6. = Sanctuary (2 Warp Charge) - This is a Malediction power that targets all friendly Models or Units within 12” (Which can include the Psyker and any unit they have joined). If an enemy unit charges a model or unit within Sanctuary’s range, the enemy unit count as moving through cover, regardless of wargear or special rules.

Smite and Shrouding have been taken off the list due to there already being similar powers in the rulebook
