I have no idea why I didn't check the 1d4chan page, thanks.

When're you going to post the new rules on Kroot and that Angry Marine Fandex you've been working on

When I finish painting all your tau.
So never.

In all honesty, I think you should leave /tg/ to rewrite the Angry Marine codex, since it's their creation.

Must say, always loved the Angry marines. As for the Predator Angrinator I would try going this way.

Predator Angrinator- 100 points
Armor F- 13 S-11 B-10
Weapons- Storm Bolter, Angrinator Missile Launcher

Angrinator Missile Launcher-
Range 12-48"
Str 5
AP -
Heavy X (Where X is the number of members in the squad embarked in the Predator Angrinator)
*Does not need line of sight

After working out hits wounds and saves, place a model within 6 inches of the enemy unit that was shot by the Angrinator Missile Launcher then roll scatter with one d6. If the Angry marine come within 1" of the enemy unit from the scatter, they count as charging into assault. Place the remaining members of the squad in base to base with models of the enemy unit. If they do not scatter into the enemy, treat it as a normal deepstrike. Units that deepstrike in this fashion cannot shoot, move or assault the turn they are fired, follow the rules as above.

I know it's a little wordy, but I think it gets the idea across.

I like your way, it's a bit simpler than mine, but I think that rather than having a higher front armour, it should be using the blast template, as the force of the Angry Marines falling from the sky should create a shockwave, sufficient enough to require a blast template.

The only problem I see with that, is the confusion that it could cause. I'm a firm believer of the KISS theory, or Keep It Simple Stupid. If you run it with a blast you might have people arguing that the marines should be deepstriking before the shot goes off, and then the marines can land on top of one another. Not to mention opening the door to the arguement of, if the shot (the marines themselves) scattered off my unit, then why aren't they where the template landed?

Since this is supposed to be for fun games, I try to make the rules solid. The reason is simple, it's supposed to be a fun game, not a long rules arguement about what happens first then next and so on. Hence I came up with the idea of using it as a Heavy X and placing the squad within 6 inches to show where they may have landed then bounced into the enemy, or hit an enemy angrily pounded his head into the ground as he bounces away, or whatever fun and fluffy things you can think of. In the end it's your choice since you're the one doing this, I was trying to offer another take on it.

You shoot, and use the deepstrike rules to deepstrike the squad, using the normal rules, except scattering 2D6". The blast template is then placed over top of the "guide" deepstriking model. How about that?

Just put in the clause that states if you land within one inch of the enemy you count as having initiated a charge for that turn, and the rest of the squad may be placed in base contact with the unit. Then I think you'd be fine.

Alright, thank you very much.
