How about making the throw an effect of a successful hit-and-run. Don't limit the throw to a special character, randomly select any non-vehicle, non-monster model. Throw direction can be determined by scatter dice. If they go off the table, they're dead. Impassible terrain, just reduce throw distance. Note the unit may end up out of coherency and per BRB must regain coherency before taking any other action

I like the idea of being able to throw any model out but Im trying to keep it as close to the rules in the 40K rulebook as possible - I talked with GW and found out that if you wanted to be able to pull a normal rank and file model out - then you would have to move the entire unit with it. Originally, we had the rule to be able to throw a normal model out - but changed it to Independant characters after I learned of the rule. But I do like the idea of being to throw the models in a random direction and the Hit and Run rule. That would keep it a bit more fair. but how would we go about tying in both them? If we pass our Hit and Run - we choose the direction, but if we tie in a random direction that would negate that and give our opponent a higher advantage. so how would you guys want to do that?

You're making up your own rules. Why does GW have any say on it? This tossing thing is enemy action, not a movement choice on the part of the player running the unit, so I wouldn't necessarily expect coherency rules to apply. Ok, you don't want to go too far afield with specials. Anyway, even though you're only throwing one character, you are moving the entire unit. As I recall, hit-and-run allows the enemy to make a D6 consolidation move. Well, grant that your enemy's consolidation move will be the minimum number required to regain coherency. So, if you toss someone 8", your enemy may have to move a minimum of 4" to regain coherency (tossed model moving towards unit, unit moving towards tossed model). Don't allow tosses that would put impassible terrain between the tossed model and the unit.

I don't think there is any "tie" in hit-and-run. You pass or you don't. You're just rolling your own initiative. You're opponent has nothing to roll. If you want to make it possible to select, there are several options. You mentioned WS -vs- WS. A successful "hit" for a CC attack may allow you to select direction. A bit unusual, but you could do a Str -vs- Str test as the two contestants struggle in the air. Each opponent takes Str+D6 and if you win or tie, you select direction. Although, a more fluffy interpretation of Str -vs- Str would be you dropped your opponent before you intended to, so you only carry them 1D6 rather than 2D6 inches. Make the strength test optional. They go a full 2D6" and get set down unharmed, or 1D6 and take a dangerous terrain check as they fall from altitude. Let them make the choice after you've determined direction. How badly do they want to avoid moving a certain direction. One option is that the "tossed" model was webbed up when set down the full distance and the remainder of the unit double-timed it to reach and rescue them. So, you are now "moving" the entire unit 2D6" in some direction. But if the enemy won a strength test, and survived the fall, they just make a normal consolidation move and that one model was displaced 1D6" at the start of consolidation.

Hmm - I like the idea - it is a bit unusual with the Str vs Str test after the Clade winning the combat but it is a valid option to have. I think I'll implement and see how it works during the play-test

Also for those of you who are keeping track I have another video. This one gives a sample of each type of unit from my army - ya, I know that most of stuff is unpainted but I want to build them out so I test them before I start diving into the paint job. I hope you guys enjoy the video

Nice looking army.

Thank you - im gonna make another vid of them once I get them painted

Ok guys here is the latest update to my codex - Yesterday I was able to run my Megarachnid in a small 500 pt.game and they performed better than I anticipated - even the guys who I was fighting against said that the army is very well balanced - some of the guys who were participating wanted me to bring back the "Beasts" special rule and after seeing how they performed on the game table I'm inclined to agree. So to make it more fair I have bumped up the points cost of each unit and made them Beasts once again. I have also slightly shuffled the points cost of the shooting and added in some close combat upgrades for the Squad sergeants. Let me know what you guys think

I certainly hope that these meet with your satisfaction - Thank you guys for all the help that you have given me - it has been GREATLY appreciated

Ok guys I am now 9 models away from being able to run my full scale play-test - I getting very excited about seeing this army on the tabletop. This project has been a LOT of fun and I hope this may have even inspired some of you who havent really thought about doing something like this to go ahead and try something that could be considered "outside of the box".This has turned out to be better than I hoped, sometime down the road, I may even try my hand at another one. I wish to thank each one of you who have helped me make this codex what it is and I will keep all of you informed of anything that happens once its finished. I will be posting pictures of each one of my unit types once I get them painted and (If I can make it exciting enough) I will post a battle report of my play-test once I'm able to play it. I hope to start posting pictures soon. Until that time, Peace out!!!

Lots to read in this thread so I'll leave my thoughts here:
I thought megarachnid were crazy strong but had no shooting? I understand adding shooting attacks for balance, but in my mind they are extremely CC orientated. And wasn't their armour strong enough to deflect bolter rounds in some areas? Hit and run makes sense on winged clades, but how about a "Power from pain"-esque rule for them from feeding off the corpses of their victims?

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread though, looks good so far.

I like the idea of feeding off their victims, but the main use of the Winged Clades is to relocate units. I might be changing things around after the play-test but until that time I dont want to change anything to keep it fair to my opponent as he has already been able to review the codex. I'll keep this in mind though. The play-test is scheduled for next Saturday (the 17th) so ill let you know how they perform after that. Thanks for the input.

Hey guys Im back, The play test today was a bit of a disappointment to me - My friend brought Orcs and sent my spiders running - With the exception of my Spider Queen - all of my other units failed to impress. My Giant Web Walker was killed by Ork Boss Snikrot in the first round of combat - the unit that he joined did not even have to attack. All the way through the battle we were talking about what kind of things we needed to change to help balance them. While I have also added in another long range shooter and 1 more type of spawned spider. these are the changes that we talked about doing. Since the majority of the units have changed I have just reposted the codex
