Courageous Space Marine Captain






Glasgow, Scotland


These are rules for ultra mega units like primarchs and gods,if they were reincarnated and fighting in 40k next to calgar and present day units


these are written based on my views only ,with no outside opinion or negotiation.there are mor to come like necrons,tau,eldar tyranids and dark eldar.

give feedback if you make it to the end



Gods of War


Gods of War are commonly Gargantuan Creatures.While most are much bigger than most monstrous creatures,in general this simply refers to their awesome power.Gods of War that are also Gargantuan Creatures or is noted as using gargantuan creature rules may not perform stomping attacks and fight in combat like any other unit.
Gods of War are usually independent characters.An infantry modal can join Infantry or monstrous creatures.A monstrous creature can join infantry units and other monstrous creatures.A gargantuan crature can join gargantuan creatures and monstrous creatures,but not infantry.
No god of war may join a artillery,or vehicle unit.
They may only join a beast/cavalry,bike or jump infantry unit if they themselves can mount a an animal or bike or can move like jump infantry, through wings, jetpacks teleporters,etc
For example,Magnus the Red is a Daemon Prince with wings,also a monstrous creature, could join a unit of infantry,jump infantry or monstrous creatures.Leman Russ is a cavalry modal so he would be able to join a unit of infantry,monstrous creatures or a beast/cavalry unit
It goes without saying that gods of war are unique and you can only include 1 in your army.It is also pretty obvious that they must be your leader for all purposes(Clash of the Heroes battle mission,Yarrick’s Stand scenario,etc)
These units are not limited to apocalypse and may be used in normal games

In the current DA codex, there's a segment about Lion and Luther's fight.
The shizzle was ridiculous. Apparently the impacting blows from one onto the other was so powerful that it tore the entire planet apart.

I think instead of normal melee attacks that roll to hit and wound, you should get a teardrop template with the tip of the round end touching the model and the pointy end as far away from the model as possible.
All models touched by the template suffers a strength D hit.
You get 1 template per attack value.

Give the emperor something like every turn, all enemy models within LOS of the emperor are wounded on a 4+ with armor saves allowed. Vehicles take D6 glancing hits.
If the emperor rolls a perils of the warp, he gets irresistible force instead and wounds on a 2+ with no armor saves while vehicles take D6 penetrating hits instead.

Hmmm actually they cost too much points, not to brag about orks superior close combat, you can wipe any of them kinda easily if you have 1500-500 points of CC nobz, just sayin.
I would love to see Gork and Mork, even though they are very different compared to others, as they have never actually been seen or confirmed to exist. But just for you to know, hive mind isn't a single creature to fight, so you kinda can't make rules for it. Hive mind is all tyranids together.

Courageous Space Marine Captain






Glasgow, Scotland

The Hive Mind is a single tyranid creature.It has to be as it says so in ALL fluff.

I realize that that amount of nobs would OP them,but as I said I want a overpowered unit but not unbeatable unit.

They cost that much because I don't want anyone using Primarchs outside of 2000pts+ games.The others are 5500pts+ only and as GCs they will be good in normal games because this single man,takes up your enetire army and gives your opponent 6500 pts vs him(master of war rule) unless using Horus or Khorne etc. which evens it out.At 5500pts minimum,most players will try to be playing apoc, in whch case there will be titans and GCs galore so its even.

Edit:Most of the GCs can take a retinue.Are you saying Nobs can take on Horus,and 8 Daemon Princes,which can be upgraded to Traitor Primarchs for a mere 100pts?

Fulgrim has a two handed daemon weapon that he can wield one handed,still gaining bonuses for Laeran Blade,and take two sonar cannons,which are any tyoe of sonic weaponry each turn,and rolls 4D6X2 for Night Fighting.

Slaanesh strikes before everything,even I10,regardless of modifiers,and has a retinue of 6 Keepers.She/He/It also is a Daemon god and gets to ignore the loathsome daemonbane,and is GC.

They would only die if they join him in reserve and he deep strikes.

The Omnissiah is the Emperor according to the Eccliasy thing.I can't spell it.But the Mechanicum believes different.The first one I wrote after the good primarchs was the Machine God,basically a bigger,better Emperor class battle titan.

The most fun to write was The Omnissiah,Russ and Curze.

I'm not trying to be rude, however I will be honest and you did request input, including me specifically...

I do not feel characters such as the Emperor, Primarchs and most certainly Gods do not belong on the tabletop. These are nigh-invincible beings; gods and demigods. Some psychic apparitions that simply to look upon would cause death.

Mortals that look upon the Primarchs are typically brought to tears or drop to their knees in awe. Yet, these Primarchs barely compare to a god and that kind of thing cannot be represented in-game.
Slaanesh destroyed most of the Eldar race with her birth, a Bloodthirster capable of destroying entire armies barely touched Khorne. The powers needed to summon a greater daemon are immense, imagine what would be needed to bring an entity such as a Chaos God onto the battlefield.

It is rumoured that C'tan will be dropped from the Necron Codex because of how illogical it is to try and represent a god in-game, particularly in a D6, max-stat-10 system.

These demi-gods and gods are essential to the background of 40K, have vast 'plot armour' and would be incredibly difficult to represent in-game, let alone represent fairly, accurately or enjoyably.

This (and more) is why I do not believe such beings should have in game stats and I'm still yet to see rules or an argument that would convince me otherwise.

Again, I'm not trying to be rude but you asked for my input and you knew it wasn't positive and it isn't. Not just for these or you, but for any attempts to represent such beings; in my mind at least it just will not work and nor have I ever seen anything to suggest otherwise to me...

Trying to give all of them numbers in the 40K system is a bad idea as they are all underpowered and overcosted a lot compared to fluff in which even the primarch's are supposed to be nigh unbeatable.

Also if Sanguinus is alive the red thirst and black rage wouldn't exist.

Red thirst doesn't exist either both are results of the psychic scream before Sanguinus died they were pretty much red ultramarines that preferred close combat.
