Would introducing a type of squad as part of a special character be out of the question?

That sounds fine man, go ahead and post it.

Mor'dez the Annihilator

Likeing that overlord, though I'd bump him to 235

Kliegan Faze - Terror of the Mortal Realm.

Terminator librarian / Chaplain, Word bearers.
Faze is hated by many loved by few not for his manners or his ruthless brutal tactics, but his ability to channel the warp into something horrific. As a chaplain this is rare, he has the ability to transfer warp entities into the material realm directly and crush enemies with the slightest twitch of his hand, or even destroy worlds with his mind making him the most horrific terminator librarian / chaplain to ever come face to face with.

Faze was once a Chaplain for the Black templars chapter he was revered as a hero on many worlds, revered as a savor and as a champion as one of the greatest chaplains to ever stand, until his fall (of course). Faze was dispatched to a remote planet on the out skirts of the ophidium gulf with a small element of neophytes, initiates and inquisitor Terilan Derulotra and a small detachment of GK terminators. Presuming it was a mere uprising they brought few and proceeded to investigate the planet due to the rumors of heresy and the daemonic possession, but found something much worse. The inquisitor soon discovered not only that the warp plane existed on the planet, but in fact that a small spark hidden away from the galaxy could be the death of millions, in effort to avoid this disaster he began franticly trying to find this spark and found something even more sinister, Not within the planet but within the Chaplain himself. A beacon of what seemed to the inquisitor to be not only odd for being a chaplain but odd because Faze did not realize it, and his hatred for all things warp modified and pysker was intriguing, and so he began trying to bring it to light. The inquisitor poked and prodded in the chaplains mind, refusing to let the spark die, all this did was anger Faze to an extent he couldn't control, it began unleashing a part of him that he never before realized existed. So well hidden was this destructive force of chaos that it all but consumed the men he lead, It consumed him as his hatred intensified ten fold. His eyes turned from a normal pale blue to a hatred filled black. The marines that accompanied him were instantly consumed by fire and gore as their bodies were ripped apart from the inside out as the daemons ripped their way to freedom. The Grey Knights intervened with striking blows against Fazes new found minions destroying each, within moments Faze was standing amongst the GK taking blow after blow ripping, renting, tearing and crushing the Grey knights minds as they attempted to vanquish the darkness that consumed him as the final blow was stuck and the last Gk terminator fell, the inquisitor fled, Faze started slowly succumbing to the blows as he watched the inquisitor run, his armor was so rent, so torn and in pieces that his naked flesh lay exposed and bleeding from large gashes in his flesh, each blackened from the strikes of each force weapon, he began to fade as he slowly collapsed as a dark figure approached. "This is not where you die, Awake our champion of chaos". from then on he walked the path of chaos tearing apart worlds, tearing apart marines, uniting war bands under his calling and taking the mantle of the Word Bearers for himself.
His record deleted, the planet virus bombed, he now roams the universe looking for not only knowledge of the warp and a better understanding but revenge.

With a terrible bite, and special breeding, the mighty hounds of the Imperium tear through all in their path.


I'll need to post the accompanying character later, I need to pack for vacation.

My ork mek/mad dok combo who is still in the works

Mad Mek Bugnutz da "Doktor"
WS BS S T I Ld A W Sv
4....3.....4.4.3..9.2...3.+4

pts cost: 170 (need recomendations)

Wargear:
Soopa Shoota- 24 inch strength 5 ap 5 assault 3
Dok's tools
Mek's tools
Burna
Armor
Cybork Body

Special Rules
Independent character
Orkyfeekation Juice! (roll a d6 for each non-ork model killed by the mad mek in close combat on a 6 the model will be replaced with an orkified one with the ork boy statline and will join the Mad Mek's squad, on less than a 6 the subjects head explodes in a spray of messy gore)
Lootaz Galore! (the mad mek allows 1 loota squad to be taken as a troops choice)
YOO GITZ CANT NOT KILL ME! (when the mad mek looses his last wound he dissapears in a flash of lightning and cacking energy Place a small blast over him when he dies and deal a strength 6 ap 6 wound to EVERY model under the template Regardless of standing (Yours, allies, and enimies)


The mad mek is an ork big mek who has died a few to many times, he has been repeatedly killed with bolter rounds to the head, having the whole head removed and burned on the spot, and a host of other methods. Somehow he manages to return Crazier and and even bigger threat each time. More recently his repeated ressurections have somehow given him in addition to his mekboy skills the latent painboy abilities as well. He uses huge masses of shooty orks of all kinds (minus the flash gitz, whom he belives are a bunch of no good greedy Grubby fingered gitz) The mad mek also posesses some of the most bizzare technoligies known to the orks such as the exotic tellyporta (although he hasnt quite profected that yet it works well enough for him) and the more widespread use of Sheild technoligies (all of his sub commander Big meks have KFF's)

Wait, he regularly employs Lootas, but thinks Flash Gitz are the greedy grubby fingered gitz? He really is insane.

Is the Orkyfication Juce whole-field? Or is it just within combat?

Not every Mek character needs a KFF- Wazdakka doesn't have one. Mek's Tools are rather useful themselves.

the juice is just in mele range if it were whole field it would be really OP and it would be quite irritiating

And I find the KFF helps represent his mastery over orc technoligy

I have two entries to post, a Necron Special Character, and a generic HQ slot to compliment him.

Prince Apoth, Last of Parthun - 200pts
WS BS S T W I A LD Sv
4 4 5 5 3 2 3 10 3+

Composition: 1 (Unique) Unit Type: Infantry (Character)
Transport: May select a Catacomb Command Barge as a dedicated transport.

Wargear: Scythe of Parthun, Tachyon Caster, Phase Accelerator, Phylactery
Special Rules: Ever Living, Reanimation Protocols, Phaeron, Last of the Line

Scythe of Parthun: A perfectly crafted Warscythe handed down from Phaeron to Phaeron within the Parthun Dynasty. It seems to be paradoxial in nature, being as light as a feather until the wielder strikes the target, at which point it becomes as heavy as a collapsed sun.

The Scythe of Parthun is a warscythe (a 2-handed weapon that gives +2 strength and ignores armor saves) that allows the wielder to re-roll failed hits in close combat. Additionally, it allows the wielder to force their opponent to re-roll any successful hits in close combat against Apoth.

Tachyon Caster: A modified Tachyon Arrow which allows the wielder to convert the payload into a devastating close-range charge. Created for Prince Apoth by his Crypteks after his final duel against his father.

A Tachyon Caster is a Tachyon arrow. In addition, if Prince Apoth is locked in combat, you may, during your own shooting phase, choose to fire the Tachyon Arrow at a model in base contact with Apoth. That wound must be allocated against that model. Wounds caused by firing the Tachyon Caster do not count towards combat resolution.

Phase Accelerator: A modified phase shifter that uses incoming kinetic fields to create a small temporal distortion. This device allows Apoth to move much more rapidly than normal during combat, rarely faster than his opponents, but never a beat slower.

A model with a phase accelerator has a +3 invulnerable save. Additionally, during close combat, Prince Apoth does not use his initiative to determine when he attacks. Instead, he always attacks during the highest initiative bracket.

Last of the Line: Misfortune, Paranoia, and years of civil war has left the upper echelons of the Parthun Dynasty devastated. Multiple high-ranking Necrons from they Dynasty rarely lead their forces into combat together, lest misfortune claim two of their already diminishing number.

An army including Prince Apoth can not include Overlords, Destroyer Lords, or other special characters. Additionally, Necron Lords can not be taken in royal courts.

Cryptek Overseer 40 points

WS BS S T W I A LD Sv
4 4 4 4 2 2 1 10 3+

Composition: 1 Unit Type: Infantry

Special Rules: Ever-Living, Reanimation Protocols, Independent Character
A Cryptek Overseer may take a squad of 0-5 Crypteks.

A Cryptek Seer takes up an HQ slot in the Force Organization Chart. You may not take a Cryptek Overseer as a part of a Royal Court

If a Cryptek Overseer is upgraded to a harbinger, it has access to the following
Harbinger of Destruction: Inferno Lance (10pts) – An upgraded Eldrich Lance, it counts as being twin linked.
Harbinger of Despair: Veil of Shadows (35 pts) – An upgraded Veil of Darkness which allows the bearer and his unit to disapear into the shadows at a moments notice. In addition to functioning as a normal Veil of Darkness, you may choose to roll a D6 at the start of the movement phase. On a roll of a 4+, remove the unit from combat and put them into reserves. They then deep strike onto the board as normal.
Harbinger of Eternity: Alpha Chronometron (20 pts) – An upgraded Chronometron. Each phase, the bearer my use the Chronometron to allow you to re-roll any one die of your choice, even if the user isn't in the same unit.
Harbinger of the Storm: Thundercall (15 pts) – Once per game, a Harbinger of the Storm may use his Thundercaller instead of shooting. Roll a D6 for each unengaged enemy unit. On a roll of a 6, that unit takes D6 S 8 AP 5 hits. Vehicles are hit on their side armour.
Harbinger of Transmogification: Earthlock (10 pts) – Instead of shooting, the Cryptek may nominate a non-skimmer vehicle in his line of sight. Roll a D6. On a roll of a 2+, the vehicle automatically suffers a “Crew Stunned” result

Triuthen, the Dark Eldar Assassin: HQ, 140pts
WS 6
BS 5
S 5
T 3
W 3

Special Rules: Fleet, Night Vision, Power from Pain, Move through Cover, Stealth.

Deadshot wrote:Not too bad. I take it this is from tge Ultramarines Legion rather than Chapter. I like his rules and would.point him at about 175

Compared to Lysander

He loses Bolter Drill and Bolster defences rules. As well as, crucially, EW. He loses Terminator armour and the ability to deep strike. His thunder hammer is also not as powerful and as good against vehicles.

He gains the ability to sweep due to lack of Terminator armour, and +2 attacks over Lysander. He gets the PE: CSM and CD. While his hammer may.be weaker vs vehicles ge does have.melta bombs. Although I am not.sure why he has Frag and Krak Grenades. He is always Int 1 for the Hammer abd he will never use the Kraks because of the Melta Bombs.

I also thinking that the Iron Halo should go. I realise that it is to symbolise his rank but any other character with SS lose it. Draigo and Lysander. Chapter Lord of the Grey Knights.and one of the Oldest space marines, and IF 1st captain respectively.

Also, you can't master craft a SS.

Whoops, forgot about the shield. And you're right, the iron halo should go too. Thnx

Malediction: This an ancient Luna-pattern support weapon designed to fire several different patterns of ammunition. Kydian obtained it at the founding of the Lunar Wolves and it has served him faithfully since. It can be fired with any of the following profiles:

Anti-Vehicular Round: Range 48 S 8 AP 1 Heavy 1 Melta

Suppression Round: Range 36 S 5 AP 4 Heavy 1 Blast

General Purpose Combat Round: Range 48 S 6 AP 3 Heavy 3 Pinning

Special Rules: Night Vision, ATSKNF, Independent Character, Scout, Infiltrate

Five Rounds Rapid, CHARGE: Once per game, when an enemy squad charges Kydian and his squad, Kydian and his squad can make an immediate out of sequence shooting at that squad with their pistols ONLY. Following this shooting, Kydian and his squad must immediately make an out of sequence charge at said squad, gaining the Furious Charge special rule in the process.

Recon Commander: 1 squad of Tactical Marines in the army may be upgraded to Recon Marines.


Recon Marines

One Tactical Squad may be upgraded to Recon Marines for 2 points per Marine.

Wargear: Replace bolt gun with sniper rifle for no additional cost. Add camo cloaks and close combat weapons for no additional cost

Special Rules: Add Scout and Infiltrate, as well as Night Vision.

48" Meltagun? You mad? Str 6, AP 3 should be the vehicle round, supression round Str 4, AP - pinning, and general round should be Str 4, AP 4.

Yeah I gotta agree that a 48" melta weapon is insane. If it's going to be a weapon that fires different ammo you can't just simply slip in a melta round that has LONGER ranger. No.

Vehicular: S8 AP2 heavy 1
Suppression: S4 AP5 Heavy 2 Blast pinning
General: S5 AP3 Heavy 3

Maybe? Still have plenty of reasonable versatility.

Recon Marines should cost a HELL of a lot more than 2 points each. Gaining Camo Cloaks, Infiltrate, Scout, Night Vision, a CCW and switch their Boltgun to Sniper rifle.... for 2 points each? That's nothing short of a mega

Great to see an original character, and I like the idea, but the points costing is just not reasonable.

I'm rather liking those Necrons- Did you by any chance base the name off of Prince Apothas of the Tomb Kings?

Though doesn't the Cryptek Overlord allow you way too many Crypteks? Or is he not a member of a Royal Court himself?

Actually, it was intended as a play on Apophis, an Ancient Egyptian Demon (also a main antagonist in Stargate), but I'm guessing that Apoth and Apothas share a common inspiration.

The Cryptek Overseer is not intended to be part of a Royal Court. He is a separate HQ choice. He can be seen as the Cryptek equivalent of a Overlord. In the fluff I wrote for Apoth, his dynasty has a disporportionately low number of Lord-rank Necrons as a result of both a massive civil war that was the result of the previous Phaeron's insanity, and that several core and fringe worlds of the Parthun Dynasty lost a large number of their lords during the great slumber. As a result, the dynasty can't afford to commit multiple lords and overlords to the battlefield (Hence the inability to take Lords, Destroyer Lords, Overlords, and Special Characters). However, I ran into problems when trying to organize larger games, largely due to the lack of a second royal court. Thus, I came up with the idea that, given a power void created by the lack of Overlords, ambitious Crypteks would rise in the ranks and gain the benefits of doing so, in the form of an additional wound, better armor, and access to the best equipment available, as well as the ability to take his own court of Cryptek Advisers. Just to improve clarity, I will make a special mention that the Cryptek Overseer occupies a slot on the FOC

He once placed 3rd in a Planet Wide Pie Eating Contest. He still carries the 3rd place ribbon with him to this day, though has had it altered to say 1st place instead. Proof indeed that Chaos has slowly been creeping into his soul....

Because when I think sniper, I think short range weaponry.

Change General purpose round to Heavy 1, give pinning to suppression round instead of general round, then I'd bump range to 36" as it would then seem more like a sniper weapon rather than some heavy squad support weapon.

One company command squad may replace its company commander with Silon.

Special Rules:
Senior Officer - As per Codex
Fading Genius - Once a great mind, horrors of the warp have left Silon slightly unhinged. As such, when issuing orders, roll d6 and compare to the following table:

1 - unhinged, unit nearest the enemy must either charge, or if not possible, move as close as possible to the enemy
2 - slow, Silon may only issue one order this turn
3,4 - usual, can issue two orders as per usual for company commanders
5 - lucid, Silon may issue up to three orders that turn, from both CC and BC lists
6 - flash of brilliance - In a moment of his old flair Silon may issue up to three orders from CC and BC lists, and may reroll 3 die for the IG forces in the shooting phase. However this causes strain and as such the next turn his roll has a -1 modifier.

"Screaming" Lord Silon was part of the 1st Meridians almost from birth, enlisting as a private at age 16, as was customary for all. He rose swiftly through the ranks, showing unusual tactical brilliance and flair. His first major battle was in a ship to ship action defending the moon of Mehrunes. His boarding actions and orders is still today used as an example of exemplary tactics, of use of cover and covering advance. His order to leave the wounded to speed the advance, though unpopular at the time, was also applauded as the speed of the attack was viewed as a crucial component of the victory achieved that day.

He continued to rise through the ranks of the imperial guard, before becoming the Company commander of the 1st Meridians, at the relatively young age of 44. Several years later, a Chaos incursion led to a drop pod assault on Mehrunes' to attempt to sieze its valuable admantium core. The 1st Meridians were present on the surface and fought a desperate delaying action. Eventually, despite 80% casualty rates, and thanks to the timely arrival of the armoured divisions of Meridia along with Templar allies, the chaos threat was defeated. Silon was held up as a hero to the Imperium for his actions in those desperate days, including his slaying of the Bloodthirster that tore apart the rest of his command squad. However, this had come at a cost, the warp terrors had cost him his mind. This placed the guard at a quandry, as he could not be removed from service as he was a hero, however, he was not fit for command. Eventually a compromise was reached, and he was put out to pasture as leader of the 9th meridians, who were essentially a battalion whose existence is only that of slowing the enemy for long enough that the full force of the Imperium can be brought to bear. He exists as a haunted soul, nicknamed for the screams that come from his bedchamber at night, as he relives again and again the events of Mehrunes, though the occasional flash of the old Silon occasionally surface, they are becoming ever further apart.

Special Rules: Fearless, Furious Charge, Counter Attack, I'll be Back, Unrelenting Tracker

Unrelenting Tracker: At the start of the game, nominate an enemy character. The Termintor re-rolls all failed to hit & to wound against that IC and his unit including shooting attacks. He also ignores all terrain except impassable so long as he is moving toward his target, the nominated character

I'll be Back: When The Terminator loses his last wound, roll a D6. On a 2+, he says his motto and disappeares, only to reappear anywhere on the table except within 12" of his target and 2" of an enemy unit at the start of your next shooting phase. He may shoot, but not run, then assault normally. On the roll of a one he is removed as a casualty.

Wargear: Model 1887, SkyNet LasBlaster, Monster Bike

Model 1887: R:12" S4 AP5 Assault 1
SkyNet LasBlaster: R:12 S5 AP4 Assault 2
Monster Bike: Allows The Terminator to move like a bike, but restricts his available weaponry to the Model 1887 and prohibits him from assaulting. The Terminator may 'disembark' from the bike and continue on foot, but must return to the same location where he disembarked to reembark.

I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle: If The Terminator successfully deals an unsaved wound to a Bike model, remove the model from Play. The Terminator may then use the removed model's Bike as well as Armor Save (including invulnerable save).
