Voidblade of Tzeentch


First created by Magos Nemardian of the Dark Mechanicus on the Traitor Forgeworld of Lexias, the Voidblade of Tzeentch contains the essence of a powerful Lord of Change, which powers the Void Cannon, its main weapon. The Void Cannon's beam literally tears a rift between the Warp and the material realm, devouring all it strikes and damning them to eternal torment in the depths of the Warp. Nothing can survive a single strike of the Void Cannon, and it is commonly used by Tzeentchian Chaos Space Marines.

SPECIAL RULES

Warp Shield
Reality twists and buckles around the Voidblade, making it nigh-impossible to detect or attack.
The Voidblade has a 4+ Invulnerable Save against all shooting. In addition, any unit shooting at it must use the Night Fighting rules to see if they can shoot.

Daemonic Possession
A mighty Lord of Change is bound within the Voidblade, directing its weapons and driving the tank relentlessly forward.
The Voidblade ignores all 'Driver Stunned' and 'Gun Crew Shaken' results.

Voidblast
When the Voidblade dies, the full power of the Warp is released on those that have destroyed it.
If the Voidblade suffers an Apocalyptic Explosion result on the Catastrophic Damage table, the Strength is Strength D. In addition, the Voidblade receives a +2 modifier when rolling on the Catastrophic Damage table.

According to the Daemonic Possession rules in the Codex, all tanks with Daemonic posession are BS3.

It's freakin apocalypse, so It doesn't matter if you bend some rules, but just make it clear that you are.

Any other comments?

Don't you think 700 points is a bit low for a AV14 tank with a 4+ invul save against all shooting with a Str D weapon?

Seems too cheap.

A SD, 10" blast is hugely powerful against other vehicles, a 4+ save against all shooting is also very powerful, Night Fight rules to target it get even better on the large tables used for Apocalypse, and ignoring shaken and stunned results is huge for a superheavy like that.

I'd say it should be at least 800 points.

make it 999 points, go for the sacred numbers!

honestly a str D 10 incher plus great defense against shooting will merit this. i would still run it at 999 if i was a tzeentch player

I would change the 4+ inv to a 4+cover makes alot more sense other wise awsome work.
