For my Tau, a unit that didn't fall over and die when a marine gives them a harsh look.

Wasn't intended to be the named Greater Daemon a lá Fateweaver. Changed the fluff to represent the plurality of Warpformers.

The Spreader of Lies seems awfully dangerous to any low-LD army that relies on shooting. In a Daemon list, the nature of their deployment means most of the enemy forces will be within 24". It means an IG army (for example) will have almost half their force run towards the Spreader and have to run and hence unable to shoot. I think it would be good if you removed the necessity to run bit, so they can at least still shoot.

Tau: Ethereals that don't suck. I enjoy the fluff & the models aren't half bad but if you take them you're just asking to gimp yourself.

Assault Terminators with Relic Blades matched to storm shields for vanilla marines. either for just the sgt of the squad, or for the entire squad like Lighting Claws and Thunder Hammers. tack on an extra 5pts ala' Blood Angel TH&SS Terms.

Mek Boy Hot Rodders:
3-10 Mekboyz in a Trukk with various funky weapons (some sort of melta weapon, please), with options for a "supa-turbo trukk" to allow it to move 24" in a single turn.

A new unit for my codex?

Special rules: relentless, hit and run, furious charge, fleet, mirror image.

Mirror Image: The laughing god is a master of deception and his followers are no exeption. during the opponents shooting faze, any model shooting at the messenger must take a spotting test. If failed, the shooting unit sees a mirage and aims wildly at what they perceive as the messenger. roll a scatter dice and 2D6 if a direct hit is rolled they shoot wildly at thin air and cannot shoot in the next shooting pahse as they reload. if a scatter is rolled then measure the 2D6 roll in that direction from the shooting unit. whatever squad is within the range of the tape measure after measureing distance and direction,be it friend or foe, must take hits and wounds from the shooting squad as usual, as if they were enemies.

Bah, just let me put Hydras in the FA slot of my CSM army, and all is forgiven.

- Imperial Guard Conscript Squad Attachment -


Jonathanus Esculab


Never have the the poor Conscripts of the 7. Aloverasan seen a Priest more gentle, kind and polite than Jonathanus, the old bearded man who is almost a father figure for them. In combat, however, his yells about the fury he's going to bring on the enemies of the Imperium, are legendary. Once his children are hurt, his wrath has no limits. As a loyal servant to the Emperor, he does everything to bring his children in care home.


Jonathanus Esculab may be included in your army as one of the 5 possible Ministorum Priests.
He may only be attached to a squad of conscripts, and has to start the game being with the unit. He may not leave the unit voluntarily, although he might be "removed" (DE reaver squads) as usual.
The Squad he is assigned to may not use "Send in the next wave"

Jonathanus Esculab

The entire unit gains the Stubborn universal special rule.

The entire unit gains Counter-attack and Furious Charge special rules.

20 Conscripts: "Well, ram the goddamn shoulder support into their teeths, if they have any!"
The entire unit gains True Grit: Lasguns special rule (is this still legal? Lasgun counts as additional close combat weapon, however no bonus attack for charging.) Jonathanus gains + 1 WS and + 1 Morale.

25 Conscripts: "Are you sissys? Get up, son!"
The entire unit gains the Feel no Pain universal special rule.

30 Conscripts: "Conscripts? You're of with that! You're men!" Every Conscript in the unit gains the basic profile of a Guardsman. Wargear does not change, of course.

35 Conscripts: "I'm going to break their fu**ing spine in half!" Jonathanus' Cobalis Blade now hits with Str 8. Once per game, you may fire his hand flamer as a heavy flamer. Every conscript Lasgun counts as Str 4 as ranged and melee weapon (does not stack with furious charge).

40 Conscripts: "Down to the elite. Emperor Protects!" The entire squad gains a 4++ invulnerable save and +1 Attack (Jonathanus too).

45 Conscripts: "We're the guardians of Hell, and we embrace your Ass!" Every Conscripts Close Combat weapon(yes, the true grit lasgun counts too!) counts as an Energy Weapon with Rending. Every Conscript Lasgun gains AP 1 Rending.

I think another fun one, for daemons, would be an AoE style of drop-pod thing...

Ground Eater Mound- WS 0 BS 4 S4 T6 W4 I3 A0 Ld. N/A Sv. 6+ Heavy Support -225 pts.

The Ground Eater is a viral slime that infects, with virulent disease, all it touches. It is used at the front of daemonic assaults to tear at the very fabric of the world and create a thick smog from which the cloaked daemons can spring from. The Ground Eater Mound is a thick ball of flesh containing vast pools of the toxin that, once placed, is counted as immobile. Any daemon within 6" of it gains a 6+ cover save as the gasses that arise out of the sludge are thick enough to hinder the sight of even the most trained eye. This cover save increases by 1" every movement phase (including your opponents).

Pile of Toxin: If the Mound were to land on an opponents model it does not roll a die for mishap but instead incurs a wound on a 4+ to any model underneath it, vehicles simply move out of the way. If it lands on your own models, role as normal however (Nurgle loves is children after all and would never let them be hit by an incoming missile).

Expanding Plague: The slime and sludge contained within the mound slowly leaks out of it over time and as such each poses a danger to all around it. All movement within 3" of the mound is considered difficult. On turn 2 this changes to dangerous and on every subsequent movement phase after (even your opponents) this radius increaes by 1" (taking effect turn 3). Daemons are also affected by this (excluding Daemons of Nurgle and anything with the Mark of Nurgle).

Acid Spitter: In the center of this viral infection is a great maw that spits out vast globs of the Ground Eater Plague. It has a the following profile; Acid Spitter Range: 48" S:3 AP:3 Assault 2

-Melded Bone: Amongst the flesh of the Mound, bone was weaved in granting the Mound a 5+ save at 15 pts.

-Volatile Eruption: The gasses emitted from the Mound are of the particularly unstable variety and so if the Mound is unable to continue to produce the right agent, is libel to catch fire. Should the Mound lose its final wound everything within radius of the cover save takes a Str. 4 hit. They may not use the cover save for this hit and the cover save will dissipate immediately afterward. 50 pts.

-Bile Belcher: The Ground Eater Mound gains another shooting attack, and may use both in during the shooting phase (both must still be at the same target). It has the following profile; Bile Belcher Range: 24" S:6 AP:6 Assault 4 -30 pts.

Melchiour wrote:Second thought, how to you disembark 50 guard. Is it possible to get them all within 2 inches of hull lol.

Yeah, I don't exactly know how forgeworld does it.

Another would would be a simple upgrade...


A commissar may take a
...plasma pistol 10 pts
...power weapon 10 pts
...assault cannon 15 pts

Any commissar fitted with an assault cannon that makes a summary execution removes five randomly determined models from the unit he is a part of, rather than a single model of the highest leadership. The unit automatically passes the reroll to its morale check.

I'd love to see the FW "artillery" units in the IG codex, the Thudd Gun quad launcher and Heavy Mortar.

However, aside from that, there's tons of stuff that could be done with IG. Bring back Rapier Laser Destroyers, combat engineers, etc.

YES were are these little buggers?

Seperate codexes for IG armies (ie) Mordians, Vostroyans, Tallern, Valhallans, Steel Legion and of course they need to make specific codexes for Elysains and Death Korps of Krieg not putting them in IA books

I'd like to see the Space Marine Hunter make the jump from Epic to the C:SM codex. Otherwise like a whirlwind, but can fire a single S:8 AP:1 Ordnance weapon every turn.

Super Dreadnought unit on Steriods.

I'd think that GW doesn't need to releasre seperate Codexes....just make it so that you can choose what special rule set you take with each IG army. A design your own feature would be nice too...

For Chaos:
While not a unit, what Chaos deserves is Assault Cannons, for dreads and Termis.

They're all over the "Horus Heresy" Novels so the crap argument about them not existing for them is toast.

For Orks:
Tank Bustas who are worth a crap, or if not at least let me give my nobz Tank busta bombz again.
