Just an Apocalypse datasheet I thought of.

Many Imperial commanders already know the mysterious ways of the Legion of the Damned. However, in large escalating conflicts, it has been known for whole companies of the ghostly warriors to materialise upon the battlefield, along with more uncommon units, such as Dreadnoughts.

Points 250+Models

Formation:
1 Captain of the Legion (As per Codex: SM, but has the Fearless USR, Aid Unlooked for, Unyielding Spectres and Slow and Purposeful rules)
3+ Damned Legionnaire Squads
0-3 Damned Dreadnoughts
0-1 Accursed Sorcerer

Damned Dreadnought 150pts
WS5 BS4 S6(10) Armour F12 S12 R10 I4 A3
2 Dread CCW's, both with built-in Heavy Flamers
Special Rules: The Damned Dreadnought has a 4+ Cover save against all attacks directed against it.

Accursed Sorcerer 200pts
WS5 BS5 S4 T4 W3 I4 A3 Ld9 Sv3+
Wargear: Force Weapon, Plasma Pistol, Psychic Hood
May select 2 Powers from the ones listed

Inspiring Presence: All friendly units within 12" gain +1A until the next game turn.

Avenger: Range: 12" S7 Ap3 Assault D6

Ultimate Wrath: Add +D3 to both S and T characteristics until the next player turn.


Formation Special Rules
Fearless
Unyielding Spectres
Aid Unlooked For
Counter-Attack
Slow and Purposeful (does not affect Damned Dreadnoughts)

All units arrive via Deep Strike, even in missions where Deep Strike is not used. All units also use the Aid Unlooked For rule when Deep Striking.

Herald of Future Doom: When the Legion arrives, any enemy unit within 18" of a member of the formation must take a Morale check or fall back.

Bane of the Unholy: If an enemy unit assaults a member of the formation, they must first take a Morale check. If they fail, they may choose not to assault that turn, or continue to assault at -1WS.

What do you think of this idea?

The Dreadnought has 3(4) attacks correct (from 2x DCCW)?

Bane of the Unholy - make this:
Any enemy unit wishing to assault any model in this formation must take a Ld test. If they fail, they may not act in their assault phase.
