Wulfen Dreadnought for the SW...
It's a dreadnought in which the pilot has gone all wulfen.

An imperial guard transport large enough to move a whole infantry platoon, like the DKoK gorgon.

The Truck Cannon.

An Ork Cannon...the fires Trucks.

I think I made some rules for this at one point. I'll look 'em up.

Here they are:

Da Wagon Kannon = = = 300 Points

Big Mek Kogtoof swore obscenely as his precious truck got blasted to pieces by the Imperial guns. He started to kick the Gretchin swarming around his feet. He swore again as he stubbed his foot of a piece of Grot Artillery and a Grot came flying out the end.
“Dat gives me an idea,” sniggered Kogtoof to himself.


Unit: 1 Wagon Kannon

Armour:
Front:12
Side:12
Rear:12

Type: Super Heavy Tank, Moving Scenery

Structure Points: 10

Weapons and Equipment:
• 1 Wagon Kannon
• 6 Twin-Linked Big Shootas
• 3 Big Guns

Transport: The Wagon Kannon has a huge platform on its roof, designed to hold dozens of Orks as it rolls into battle. The Wagon Kannon does not have a set transport capacity, but my carry as many Models as can physically fit on the transport platform, and may be of any unit type. The Platform may also be accessed by enemy models to fight on or shoot from, and they may move around as if the platform in normal scenery.

The Wagon Kannon
The Wagon Kannon is a huge gun designed to fire trucks into the enemy. To fire the Kannon, a truck must first move into the Kannon’s breach. Once in the breach, once per turn, the cannon may fire. To fire, first choose a point within 60” of the end of the Kannons barrel. You must then roll a scatter dice and 2D6 to find out the landing place of the truck. After landing (crashing) the truck must take one strength 7 Hit on its front armour. The truck counts as having moved after it's been fired.

If the truck lands in another unit (friend or foe) they must immediately take D6 Strength 9 Hits.

Aided by ultramarines chief librarian Varro tigris and elements of the imperial guard, korrsaro hunted this traitorous dreadnought for many decades. Finally they caught up with him on the forge world of fortis binary. The battle which then ensued was said to last for days on end and said to have ripped apart entire continents finally when a regiment on imperial guard regiment the tannith first broke the hold of chaos on the forge world ariels power was broken.

XV12 ‘Skirmisher’ Battlesuit Team

Frustrated with watching entire cadre’s of Fire Warriors get slaughtered ruthlessly in hand to hand combat by EVERY other race in the galaxy, an unnamed Ethereal turned to his comrades and mused – “Hey, we should try and use our tech to fix that gak.” After recovering from their laughter, the other Ethereals realized he wasn’t joking and replied in a condescending tone – “You’re serious? Pffft… I guess… have some Earth caste Tau whip up something. I’m not sure how it will fit into our battle doctrine. Our commanders will be totally confused with what to do with close combat units but I suppose it couldn’t really hurt if we had them on hand.”

The result was the XV12 ‘Skirmisher’ Battlesuit. A war technology designed specifically to address the primary reason why all Tau battles are lost.

Equipment:
Each team member is equipped with a XV 12 Skirmisher Battlesuit.
Power Weapon
Skirmish Countermeasures
Ram jets

Character:
One Shas’something may be upgraded to a Shas’somethingelse at +15 points. The Shas’somethingelse bestows the ‘Stuborn’ special rule to his squad.

Options:
Any squad member may exchange their power weapon for a power fist at +10 points

Special Rules
Skirmish Countermeasures – When engaged in close combat the Skirmish suits erupt in a spectacular array of technological countermeasures. Miniature drones swarm about the suit deflecting attacks, flash-bangs explode from ejectors, hyper-sonic alarms are emitted to disrupt synaptic signals within the surrounding area, caltrops are spilled to disrupt enemy footing, and stealth technology is used to confuse the enemy. In game terms, all successful close combat attacks AND close combat wounds must be re-rolled by the attacker. Additionally, the Skirmisher’s armor save becomes invulnerable while in close combat.

Ram jets – once per game a Skirmisher battlesuit squad may use its ram jets to make a 12” charge. The jets fuel is then expended and they are ejected from the battlesuit as dead weight. During this charge all skirmisher battlesuit attacks are made at +1 initiative and +1 strength.

Hive fleet Xion Genestealers

Compared to its brethren Behemoth and Leviathan, Xion's hive fleet was small and fleeting and perhaps the unluckiest Tyranid incursion the Galaxy had to face. The planets first attacked by Xion on the far rim possessed little to no biomatter for consumption, and many contained dormant tombs filled with Necrons. Desperate to survive, Xion had to 'force feed' itself the living metal that the Necron's governed. While this offered little to no sustenance for the Hive, it allowed Xion to press on to a few scattered Eldar enclaves where Xion began using tactics similar to those employed by traditional Genestealer broods, with a few modifications. Genestealer cults where made to be significantly more adaptive, more intelligent than that of other hive fleets. After several battles Eldar colonies, Xion's Genestealers were able to completely assume the form of basic Eldar infantry, turning the once-disciplined Eldar, into a mass orgy of confusion and energy bolts. Eldar Guardians fired on Dire Avengers, Banshees were forced to cut down their own, Warlocks struggled to find the imposters with the shadow of the warp looming over them, and Exarchs slew their brethren out of paranoia. Within Hours, 50 well-placed genestealers, caused enough chaos to bring the Eldar to their fall, long before the Mycetic Spores fell upon their colonies.

Special rules:
Brood Telepathy, Fleet, Move through cover, Infiltrators, Doppelgangers, "What Are You Doing!?"

Doppelgangers
Xion's Genestealers have perfected the ability to pass among its prey without detection. While this takes an extensive amount of time to completely transform, they can make absolutely flawless copies of their targets.

Xion's Genesteals may be ANY Organic model (no necrons) model from ANY army with the "Infantry" rule. The cost for the normal model is added to the "base" cost of a Xion Genestealer. They can have all the options alloted to them by whatever model they are imitating, with the exeption of dedicated trasports. The Genestealers will also have the exact same Armor value and ballistics skill (to represent the knowledge the learned of their targets mannerisms) of whatever model they are copying. For example, Genestealers could choose to be Eldar Dire Avengers, They would posses the dire avenger's armor (which grants a 4+ save), they would be equiped with an Avenger Suriken Catapult, they could not take a wave serpent for transport (but may take a Mycetic Spore) and would cost 37 points a model (up to 20 models total) and could take an exarch with whatever powers and wargear the player chooses. Genestealers can not imitate Psyckers, independent characters (such as Emporer's Champions, and Autarchs), or unique characters (such as Calgar or Eldrad), as having more than one of a Space marine chapter master, for example, would quickly lead to discovery.

"What Are You Doing!?"
At the start of the game, roll a D6 for every unit of infantry your opponent has. On a roll of 5 or 6 that unit was infiltrated by Xion Genestealers before the battle, and D3 of the models are Doppelgangers, your opponent will still play with them as normal, as neither side can be sure which is friend or foe at the last moment. During any Tyranid turn after the 1st the Tyranid player may elect to attack its own "unit". Roll a D6 for every attacking Doppelganger, on a roll of 1 or 2, the model was killed before it could complete its task (opponent choses which model to remove from the unit), on a 3, 4, or 5 the Genestealer was able to take down one other enemy before getting gunned down (opponent must remove two models of his/her choice for every 3, 4, or 5 rolled). On a Roll of 6 the Genestealer killed its target (but is also killed), the Tyranid player may select 1 model that was in the unit to be removed, this includes joined independent characters! Note that this isnt a Close Combat attack, it could have been carried out in any manner possible (be it somebody's power fist, an anointed weapon, or an improvised bomb) so invunerable saves do not apply against it. HOWEVER Model's with the "Eternal Warrior" special rule instead would just take 1 wound with no saves possible.


May have made the cost a little cheap

This was done pretty extensively in Dakka Discussions not too long ago, whilst dead for a while now, the title of the thread at-least had the right idea.

Anyways, I'll just the link here and be on my way...

thanks, but reading the OP and a few of the entries, the discussion seems to be around units that would help balance some of the falicies of some armies IE Assault based Crissis Suits aimed at midigating losses to assault armies.

Here, especially my post, i just want a just for fun unit to terrorizes players with

Forsaken ones
Dark knights of Chaos are immune to Instant death
Daemonic mount
Daemonic mounts ignore difficult terrain.

HQ Unit: THE EMPRAH!

No, that would just lock the thread..

Id like to see a kind of "flying rhino", or some kind of lightly armored and armed vehicle to move troops (marines or guard) around the field quickly...

Grey Knight Shield Bearer Squad (Elites):

Points: 25 (expensive)
WS BS T S W I A SV LD
5 4 4 4 1 4 3 3+ Fearless

Wargear:
Nemesis Halberd
Storm Shield
Power Armour

Storm Shield: The Shield Bearers have a 3+ invulnerable save.

Nemesis Halberd: Counts as strength 6 (stacks with furious charge) and a power weapon.

Special Rules:
Grey Knight
Furious Charge
Knightly Charge

Knightly Charge: On the turn that the Shield Bearers charge they count as having an initiative of 7, due to there nemesis halberds being lowered into formation. Only the most skilled opponents have the reflexes to avoid this attack (ini 7+ are obviously faster than them)




These guys are balanced because they have no ranged weapons. They would be good in a land raider tho. Unit could possibly have a 2+ for 30 points? Starting to resemble terminators now...

Thought of it up at the last sec, could use some improvements


" ... Trashed ANOTHER of his most Holiest Transport Vehicles!? I JUST had that repaired from the LAST time you tried purging the Tau! By the Emperor i swear i will put a stop to this"
- Irritated Ultramarine Techpriest, at losing another rhino to the Tau's exceptional Railguns

"Insane Tech" Rhino Upgrade

Costs 60 pts in addition to the cost of the rhino, any other upgrades, and its squad

This upgrade can not be taken dozer blades, or plating, as they both add too much weight to the vehicle.

During your turn, in the shooting phase, you can choose to utilize a "An upgrade Gifted by the Emperor" that the Chapter techpriest has installed onto the Rhino. The "upgrade' consists of 4 modified Plasma cannons strapped to the back of the vehicle, that can be used to move the Rhino 2D6 x 2 inches forward in one direction (nominate the direction being moved before rolling). Should a Double 1 result be rolled then the upgrade has shorted out and sparks violently, and the vehicle counts as immobilized and stunned until the next allied movement phase. Should a Double 6 result be rolled, the 'upgrade' hurtles forward 30 inches while super-heating the vehicle, causing a normal wound to each of its passengers and rendering the "upgrade" into little more than plasma infused slag, and as such, can not be used for the rest of the game

Should a vehicle with this upgrade suffer a "Destroyed - Explodes!" at any time, or either a "Immobilized"/"Destroyed - Wrecked" the turn imediatle following the Upgrade's use, the vehicle will Explode in a 'Str 6 AP 3 2D6" pinning' blast. Yes this can occur as a result of a "Death or Glory!" or ram.

@Jaon
You have a good idea but your unit is terribly OP. Str 7, I7, power weapons, 3++ and Grey Knight bonuses for 25 points each is horribly broken. Lack of shooting is not enough of a drawback to justify 25 points and as they stand now, they would probably be the greatest assault unit in the game, capable of smashing anything in CC at a discounted price. You would probably need to price them at around at least 60 points each (taking into account meq equipment pricing + Grey Knight bonuses + army wide synergy).

I suggest if you want to refine your idea further, to make a thread in the proposed rules board since this is a discussion thread and not a balance thread.

Equipment: Surgical tools (Grants FnP, but only on a 6+ instead of a 4+ due to his stupidity)

Special Rules: Slow and Purposeful, Independant Character

WUBUBUBUBUBU!: Zoidberg tends to wander alot. He may be taken in any army and will use up an elite choice.

Yay! People are paying attention to me! : Zoidberg must pass a leadership test every turn. If he fails he will not do anything for the duration of the turn (while he waddles around trying to get attention), and will automatically fall back if he is hit (even if he saves his wounds). If he is joined in a unit, the entire unit may not do anything as they try and keep the doctor down and will fall back with him as he gets tangled in their equipment and subsequently drag everyone along. Zoidberg is also immune to psychic powers, and subsequently bestows this immunity to any squad he joins (he and his squad cannot be affected by any psychic powers at all)

Let me help you with that!: If Zoidberg ever rolls a double on his leadership, regardless of whether or not he passes, one unit at random (can be either friend or foe) will take a S6 AP1 hit for every model in the squad. Vehicles will suffer a hit, either a glancing hit on a 1-3 or a Penetrating hit on a 5+ (a 4 will result in nothing, apparently the doctor did something right for once). The Doctor evidently tampered with something he shouldn't have.
