So I'm about to switch from Tyranids to Chaos and I'm makng ideas for my own special characters for friendly games. Khorne and Nurgle are obvious, but I can't for the life of me remember what the Thousand Sons and Noise Marines' special rules are. I know their stats bonuses for the Marks, but the other rules are escaping me and I don't have the codex yet.

To clarify, the special rules I am referring to are like that of the Khorne Berserker's Furious Charge and the Plague Marine's Feel No Pain. What are the special rules, not the marks bonuses, of the Thousand Sons and Noise Marines?

Thanks in advance!

This little link should help you right out.

Happy to help!

What liam is trying to say is that we aren't allowed to post specific rules like that. GW holds the copyright and could shut the site down, etc...

We can help clarify an unclear section of the rules, but answering your question isn't allowed.

Sorry

Sorry to be so picky about it, but them's the rules. Besides, it bugs me when people don't buy the codex. Either have a look in store, or pick one up. Every other gamer has to.

Im pretty sure he isnt asking us to explain them. just to say something like

Dire Avengers have fleet. We arent telling them what fleet is so does it matter?

Im just curious to if that is against the rules







edited for grammar

I don't think it would be out of line to say that Ksons have an Invulnerable Save and that Noise Marines have an Initiative bonus, would it?

At any rate, you probably ought to just but the Codex.

Well yes it would. First its special rules, then its points values. Isn't it just better to err on the side of caution?

Yeah, but a general overview doesn't hurt anything, especially if it's someone who's thinking about starting a new army. Agree to disagree I guess.

My real question would be "If you're going to make up your own characters, who cares what the codex says?"

If I could give them out I would - but I wouldn't want the Site to get in trouble - and as I said, I had to fork out for the codex, so its only fair that other players do to.

Wow. Well thanks for the help? lol.

I do realize that we can't say what the rules say, and I don't need that really. I guess I should have asked if they have any of the universal special rules, besides fearless of course.

And I would go buy a codex but I won't have any excess money until Christmas, sadly. Then I do intend on buying one ASAP.

I think I'll post something in the Proposed Rules forums and see if I can get anything from there.

Thanks for at least discussing stuff. lol

If you can;t get a codex, theres nothing to stop you popping into your FLGS and having a quick skim

I will be doing that this weekend, definitely

Heck I can tell you what the noisemarine special rules are.

......*crickets crickets*

Oh, wait, there is one: Fearless. Yay.

The chaos codex is shockingly DEVOID of special rules.

Ya that's what my problem is with character creation.. I posted a more explanatory thread in the Proposed Rules section; Special Characters for Chaos Marines - Advice Searching

If anyone wants to head over there and give any ideas I'd be grateful.

EDIT: The thread is actually in 40K General now.
