I have a vehicle and monstrous creature design rules set in my signature. It works pretty well at all levels at this point, but is especially good at balancing out superheavy and gargantuan units.

Feel free to use it as a jumping off point for your project!

Also, I have rebuilt most vehicles and monsters in the game with it, you will find their point costs in my house rules and eratta located in the proposed rules area.

I'll take a look, thanks.

Added stat mods to the nid dex.
Still haven't decided if I want to do Hive Fleet or Dynasty tactics just yet, and if so, how to implement. I am open for suggestions of course.

Updated Heavy Venom Canon to have Fleshbane, as poisoned 3+ is basically useless, (not working against most targets that would be relevant due to the garg creature rules, IIRC)

My friend did some nid playtesting. Apparently he had a fun time using a Warrior Dominion + Subterranean Swarm army. Also used his Malefactor. I was unfortunately not there, but it seems there weren't any issues that were too big.

I am working on a battlescribe for the cron codex. I will let you know when it is ready. (Eventually I will do it for the others, but crons seemed easiest to start with).

1st version of a necron battlescribe is up. Right now it is missing formations/detachments (other than the standard ones), Lords of War, Fortifications, and Special Characters.

Do you want Deathmarks to be Wounding on a 2+ in Assault? Hunters From Hyperspace will bear this out if the unit is Charged the same turn it Deep Strikes (due to Ethereal Interception).

Nope, not at all. Thank you. I have updated it (adding a "on all Shooting attacks they make" clause, this will still affect their overwatch attacks, but I think that is reasonable).

Necron battlescribe is fully operational, see 1st post.

In light of the leaked rules for sisters of silence, I think I should probably just make the Psychic Aberration rule into the Psychic Abomination rule.

Thoughts?

So 40k sisters of silence rules mean Psychic Abomination is officially the rule to give those with the Pariah gene, therefore, I did that.

Playtesting suggests reanimation protocols are too strong with high terrain density or against short range opponents. Therefore, I have decreased them to 1 wound back for wounded units per turn, D3 for 25%+ casualties and the full D6 only for 50%+ casualties. Point costs are likely subject to change, and I already discounted/modified some of the synergistic abilities and upgrades.

Wow, this is great! Really good rules, will be sure to use these in future games.

Thanks Johnny,

Please let me know if you have any suggestions. I have been away from this project for a while for a lot of reasons, and will likely be updating it at some point due to the changes in traitor legions/wrath of magnus in particular. I am thinking guard might need some love, although I still haven't gotten through all the playtesting I was hoping to for other armies, nor the battlescribe.

Take your time dude
