For those who have read/are reading Nemesis, you may recognise this guy. I finished reading it last week and I absolutely loved this character, who represents every single part of the Eversor's way of battle, and who I thought deserved his own set of rules.

The Garantine - 170 Points

WS6 BS4 S5 T4 W3 I5 A3 Ld8 Sv4+

Weapons and wargear
Neuro-Gauntlet
Power Weapon
Melta Bombs
MK-II Executioner Pistol

MK-II Executioner Pistol This weapon was designed especially for the Garantine, as any other weapon would be damaged irreparibly by the Garantine's constant fits of rage. As a result, it has been fitted with increased ammo capacity allowing the Garantine to deliver a bigger punch than the still reliable MK-I Executioner
Range 12" S4 Ap5 Assault 3
or
Range 12" SX (wounds on 4's) Ap4 Assault 2

Special Rules
[i]Infiltrate
Fearless
Dodge
Enhanced Combat Drugs

Hulking Monstrosity: The Garantine is a hulking beast, a result of the constant metabolic strain of the combat drugs. He easily matches even an Astartes in terms of size and strength. Because of this, he has +1 WS, S, and W (already included in his profile).

Unleashed Rage: At the start of each game turn, the Garantine must take a Leadership test, if failed, he gains the Rage, Furious Charge, Move Through Cover and Fleet rules for the rest of the game as stimms flood his system, causing him to lose any sense of self preservation or sanity.

Enhanced Combat Drugs: Instead of gaining D6 attacks when he charges, you may roll 2D6 and choose the highest when determining the number of extra attacks gained when the Garantine assaults. If a double 1 or 2 is rolled the Garantine takes a single wound with no saves of any kind allowed as the stimms reach a lethal dose.

So what do you guys think? This was thought up in about 10 minutes so I suspect there may be a couple of problems. Hopefully, I'll make some rules for Kell, Koyne, Soalm, Tariel and Iota too.

He looks good, though I would make the "unleash rage" also give him...rage.

Also, what is the strength (or poisen value) of his second pistol option? ATM it's just given as "X".

Nice rules, the only thing I can think of in the book that is not represented here would be feel no pain, but that would make him even more insane.

Oops, forgot about that, added Rage.

I meant X to be the same as sniper rifles, wounding on 4's. I'll make that clearer in the rules.

Ok, here's a go at Eristede Kell.

Eristede Kell - 160 Points

WS4 BS6 S4 T4 W2 I5 A2 Ld9 Sv4+

Weapons and Wargear
Widowmaker I know Kell never really had a name for his rifle but it was depicted as unique, as a part of him so I felt it should be a unique Exitus (and Widowmaker was the first name I could think of)
Exitus Pistol
Stealth Suit
Spy Mask
Camo Cloak

Widowmaker
Range 60" S- Ap2 Heavy 1, Pinning, Rending
The Widowmaker wounds on 3's, regardless of the enemy's toughness. Kell also has access to the unique rounds used by standard Vindicare Assassins

Camo Cloak
Adds +1 to Kell's cover saves.

Special Rules
Marksman
Infiltrate
Dodge
Rapid Fire
The Hammer Falls

The Hammer Falls: Before the game starts, after all units and Infiltraters have been deployed, you may perform a single round of shooting from Kell at any enemy unit within range and LoS. This is worked out exactly as a normal shooting phase, except that Kell may only use the Widowmaker. The target and any enemy units within 3" of the target must take a Pinning test once the damage is calculated.

Rapid Fire: If Kell does not move during the Movement Phase, he may fire his Exitus Pistol twice, at different targets if he wishes. Also, he is considered to have a seperate supply of Hellfire, Shield-Breaker and Turbo-Penetrator rounds which he may use in the pistol (remember he may only use each round once).

Nice.

Regarding Garatine, the combat drugs should be dangerous to use - there is a chance of overdosing. This can be represented by any roll of 1,1 or 2,2 and he takes 1W without saves of any kind. Either that or he gets +2D6 on the charge, however, any rolls of doubles and he takes a wound (save allowed) and on a 1,1 he is instantly killed.


Eristede is too cheap. For only 20pts more than a regular vindicare, you get:

-1 WS
+1 BS
-1 A
-1 LD
Camo cloaks
A much better gun
Rapid fire
The Hammer falls

Not sure why his other stats would differ so much from regular assassins.

Hmm, what if I price Kell at 160 - 170 points instead? And I think I'll add an overdose rule to the Garantine.

160 sounds like a reasonable cost for Kell.

Ok Kell is now 160 points.

Iota - 140 Points

WS5 BS5 S4 T4 W2 I5 A3 Ld9 Sv4++

Weapons and Wargear
Animus Speculum
Psyk-out Grenades

Iota's Animus Speculum may fire a single shot instead of the regular profile:

Range 6" S8 Ap1 Assault 1, Blast

Special Rules
Etherium
Psychic Abomination
Psychic Assassin
Infiltrate
Dodge
Life Drain
Soulless
Sense of Impending Doom
Touch of the Pariah

Touch of the Pariah: Any of Iota's attacks cause Instant Death against psykers or indeed any model considered to be a psyker (such as Grey Knight Justicars).

Sense of Impending Doom: At the start of each player turn, any unit within 12" of Iota must take a Pinning test. Fearless models are unaffected.

i like, keep them coming

Is there a reason you lowered the LD of all these assassins? Normally they are LD10.

For Iota, did you purposefully leave out Etherium, psychic abominaton and psyker assassin?

Regarding Touch of the Pariah, Grey Knight Justicars are psykers only in fluff. They are not psykers in gameplay as they do not have any psychic powers nor the psyker special rule. Just something to consider.

Oops, forgot about Etheruim and those things. I didn't have my DH 'dex at hand when I wrote Iota so I was getting the regular Culexus rules from memory. Etheruim, Psychic Abomination and Assassin have been added.

Also, P20 of the (paper copy) of the DH dex states that the squad leaders count as psykers in all respects apart from actually casting powers (not the exact words but best put). This is what I was referring to.

Koyne - 170 Points

WS6 BS5 S4 T4 W2 I5 A3 Ld10 Sv4++

Weapons and Wargear
C'tan Phase Blade
Neural Shredder
Polymorphine
Poison Blades

Once per game, Koyne's Neural Shredder may fire a focussed bolt of neurological energy. This counts as a normal Neural Shredder shot, but the target's Leadership value is halved before damage is calculated.

Special Rules
Jump Back
A Word In Your Ear...
Blademaster
Sudden Onslaught

Blademaster: During the Assault Phase, Koyne may reduce her attacks by one in order to choose one model in base contact. That model has it's WS value halved for that Assault Phase.

Sudden Onslaught: If Koyne assaults in the same turn she arrives via Polymorphine, she gains an extra D3 attacks.

Anyone care to comment on Koyne?
