Special Rules
Zepplein: A vehicle with this subtype is treated as a flyer, except that it possesses the movement speeds of a normal vehicle, or Fast if it is a fast zepplein, and that any weapon can hit it on it's normal BS, wether or not it possesses the Skyfire Quality. A Zepplein can fire any number of weapons each turn at full BS.
High-Altitude weapons platform: This unit cannot be targeted by a weapon with a range of 30" or less. Weapons mounted by Zeppleins and Flyers ignore this rule. Weapons mounted by this unit gain the Skyfire special rules.
Still needs some work, but please let me know if it's to OP/UP, and yes I know it is riduclous to have 40K zeppelins.

Well, an old creation of mine (the rules, not the model), but never quite got a review on it. a bit reworked though, arguably more powerful of a transport, but weaker gun platform. what would you guys say of this, fair?
Tau Angelfish - 45 points
DT for fire warriors and pathfinders
This new assault craft was designed mainly with the concept of providing fast transport to Pathfinders and Fire Warrior squads, while the capacity is highly limited, it allows for extremely fast drop offs and disappearance of the craft itself, making it ideal for small commando teams that operate in hostile territory, but it lacks the armor to be a good shelter against enemy fire, as the craft was built extremely light to allow high speed works, nor is it armed in any meaningful way.
The angelfish is often used to stage surprise attacks deep inside enemy lines, and quickly pull forces out once the enemy closes in, and preform hit-and-run maneuvers.
BS3 F10 S10 R10 HP2, fast skimmer, open-topped, Transport (6 FW/PF or 3 stealth suits, plus two drones)
Rules:Mag-lock Deployment: units may disembark from the Angelfish regardless of how much it has moved in the movement phase, and the Angelfish may move flat out in the turn a unit has embarked.
Options: May take upgrades from the tau codex vehicle upgrade list.
Practically unarmed and unarmored, its just a means of collecting and dropping light infantry across the battlefield.

I'm not much a fan of Nurgle, but I like these guys. I like the idea a "cult" cultists, which it seems like you were going for.
"Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the 'noble savage'. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we'd overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn't the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!" —Jago Sevatarion

Indeed I like the thought of these being the elite among the chaos cult/the leaders body guard type guys. One thing I do wish GW would have gave us the option for would of been cultists slaves/ those forced to join the cult. Kinda like those forced to join the cults of pleasure in Malekith
Filch wrote: Invest in developing better gear for Guardsmen.
Invest in sentinel tech. Make sentinel faster and have stonger front armor and give better guns.
Make Sentinel Platoons an army choice.
Make a Voltron Sentinel where 5 sentinels can combine to make 1 Super Heavy. Possibly a bit smaller than 1 Imperial Knight.
Make more vehicles modular so they can combine to make 1 big vehicle.
Can we do transformers next?
Looking back. Sentinels are too small and cost so little to be considered super heavy vehicle tru combing. 5 Armored Sentinels cobbled together would be the size of a Dread Knight and cost just as much with 200pts base with 5 multi lasers. You can then upgrade other guns accordingly.
I was thinking
a SHV with 8 guns which come from 10 sentinels. 16 HP from 8 Sentinels while the other 2 are foots.
j am Thinking what if one sentinel forms the left Torso and one Sentinel forms the right torso. 2 guns inbetween them to form a core for a co-axel turret. 40x2 form armoured Sentinel chasis Making the body 80pts.
Next are the arms. The Upper Shoulder formed by 1 Armored Sentinel and the lower hand is formed by 1 more sentinel. There would be 2 guns. 1 attached to the upper shoulder and one more on the Hand (make this hand sentinel with 4 legs so it looks like a hand) Again 40x2 for 2 Armored Sentinels with 2 MultiLasers.
Same thing for the other arm. 80pts
Next are the Legs. 2 Armored Sentinels. However only the upper leg gets a gun. The lower sentinel replaces the gun slot for jet boosters. 80pts for multi laser configuration.
So you get this
ws3 bs3 s5 FV12 sv10 rv10 i3 a3 hp16 SHV Jumper Base Cost 400pts (edit: decided on 320pts instead)
2 Torso Guns
2 Shoulder Guns
2 Fore Arm Guns or Close Combat Weapons.
2 hip guns
Each Foot sentinel has rocket boosters for jumping.
Optional 9th gun is carapace mounted.
Special rules:
invincible behemoth
move thru cover
smash (3 hits at S5 ap2? or single S10 ap2 hit)
Relentless
Hammer of Wrath
strike down (abuse here!)
Independent Firing
Combined Arms: Treat multiple gun shooting into 1 phase like 3 plasma cannons stacking 3 templates into one unit.
Instead of 1 massive gun like an IK. You get 8 regular heavy or special Guns. So you can have any combo of Autocannons, heavy bolters, missiles launchers, lascannons, heavy flamers, plasma cannons. Book keeping can be complicated or simple. All guns are independent firing. It has s5 in cc but perhaps an upgrade option of a Dreadnaught Close Combat weapons can purchased to double the str to 10. Sorry no Str D in cc. It still gets stomp attacks at str d though.
Because it is a SHV Walker, It gets Invincible Behemoth. It ignores crew shaken, stunned, weapon destroyed, immobilized. Can not be exploded but when a 7 on the damage table occurs it would lose d3 hp. The 16 hp it gets will help balance out the weak fv12 and side and rear av10. It gets no Ion Shield. It can get camo netting which confers 6+ cover.
I feel like this would be a great anthesis to the IK.
The whole idea was to get Guardsmen into more Sentinels and wage war inside of those. Once nearly all guards men have an abundance of Armored Sentinels then those Sentinels can be upgraded to combine into a SHV like a megazord or voltron.
Stock at 320pts it would have 8 multi laser out 24 s6 ap 6 shots.
...It still underperforms compared to 6 Scat bikes at 162pts...and can be glanced by said scat bikes...
However, spending 5pts per missile launcer you can get 8 Missile Launchers and fire 8 Krak Missiles for 40 pts more in total. Now that is comparable to the Castigators gun.
Spending 5 pts per ac then you get 8 ac and 16 shots of s7 ap4 to possibly kill flyers.
Spending 10pts per plasma cannons would get you 8 small blast templates and even if you get hot, you get a 4+ and you have plenty hp.
Or 8 lascannons
Special Upgrade : Gun Kata Protocols : 20pts allows the Mega Sentinel to replace its base attack 3 with any non blast or template or ordance shooting attacks as if there were in close combat point blank shots.
We can also have a risky Mega Scout Sentinel with av10 all around for 40pts less putting it at 280pts yet carrying 8 guns.

The model rolls 3D6 and moves over models and terrain in any direction up to the number rolled in inches. This may be used to leave a unit it is in, or to join a unit he ends in unit coherency with. If this move ends the model in base contact with an enemy, they are considered to be locked in close combat. The model then counts as charging for the purposes of furious charge and other effects, gaining additional attacks for charging as normal. Overwatch may not be used against a Blitz move.

1 - Nothing happens. The model and everyone around it is unaffected.
2 - Bad Wires. A random detonating model is removed without saves
3 - 6 Explosion! Place a small blast template over the model detonating. All models within that template (Except for other detonating models) take D3 S6 AP4 hits. The model detonating is removed. The template does not scatter.
Also, if a Cultist fails his armour save, roll a D6. On a 5+, roll on the thingy above. If a 1 is rolled, it counts as a Bad Wires result.

There are some cool ideas going on here but I think you've seriously under costed some things and other rules feel... clunky.
For clarification too: HQ choice is 100 points and you start out with just one Legionary in the squad, but you clearly state the unit size is from 1-10. So... how much does each additional Legionary cost? Also, if each Legionary has the Independent Character special rule does that mean they can split into 10 different units, assuming you spent 1000 points on them? Seems unnecessary.
100 points I feel is a low. Very low. Especially considering a Legionary has S5, T5, a 2+/4++ save AND S6 AP1 on the charge. Not to mention an initiative of 5. For comparison, a Space Marine Captain costs 90 points for WS 6, BS 5, S4, T4, a 3+ save and I5 with a base bolt pistol and chainsword.
So for 10 more points you give each Legionary +1 Strength, +1 Toughness, Artificer Armor, Stubborn, Fleet, Adamantium Will, and Furious Charge with a souped up Power Sword (that has AP1 on the charge, just like a freaking Chainfist) with a built in Storm Bolter at the cost of.... 1 WS, 1 Wound, and 1 Leadership. That's a lot of extra power for 10 points. In fact, all of the extra stuff he gets on top of the Space Marine Captain makes me feel like even 150 points would be generous. To get a Captain up to that kind of equipment requires 145 points (Artificer Armor, Stormbolter, and Thunder Hammer). And that doesn't begin to take into account the special rules.
All of that being said, I *like* the idea of the Companion you're working on as an Independent Character that serves as a wrecking ball/guardian. I say ditch the idea of the Legionary squad entirely and focus on cleaning up the companion and focusing his intent the way you want him to be. Blitz is a cool rule, but to give him that in addition to Fleet, Furious Charge, Rage, and Rampge? It feels like you went through the Special Rules selection and just picked out all of the rules that would work well for a close combat specialist. You want him to be good, I understand, but all of those rules combined with two S6 AP1 Gauntlets with Shred that allows him to re-roll his 4++ save? 125 points doesn't even come close to cutting it.
You have a good idea going but just... focus it more, and for real, up the cost. There's no way in hell someone would allow you to take that for Companion in its current form for 125 points.

Special Rules:

Heavy Living Metal: Heavy Living Metal counts as Living Metal with additional rules. On a roll of a 5+, that model regains a Hull Point lost earlier in the game instead of only on a 6 at the end of each of your turns, this replaces the roll for Living Metal. Attacks made to roll to pen against a vehicle with Heavy Living Metal lose the Lance and Melta special rules.
It's easy to assume that people arguing an interpretation you disagree with are just looking for an advantage for themselves... But it's quite often not the case.

All units that arrived inside the Rok and the Rok itself can only snap fire the turn the Rok arrives.
Can't Stop da Rok: (Counts as having Inertial Guidance System)
Wut is dis? A Rok for Grots?: All units inside the Rok can only snap fire when firing from inside the Rok.
Its made of roks ya git: Melta and Armorbane only adds D3 to the armor penetration roll instead of D6.
Even an Ork can hit dat: All shooting attacks made against the Rok have +1 BS including snap shots.

Special Rules
Zepplein: A vehicle with this subtype is treated as a flyer, except that it possesses the movement speeds of a normal vehicle, or Fast if it is a fast zepplein, and that any weapon can hit it on it's normal BS, wether or not it possesses the Skyfire Quality. A Zepplein can fire any number of weapons each turn at full BS.
High-Altitude weapons platform: This unit cannot be targeted by a weapon with a range of 30" or less. Weapons mounted by Zeppleins and Flyers ignore this rule. Weapons mounted by this unit gain the Skyfire special rules.
Still needs some work, but please let me know if it's to OP/UP, and yes I know it is riduclous to have 40K zeppelins.
This sounds like a great idea! Something along the line of CnC Red Alert or something. Although, I would make some changes to it. I would say to alter some of the equipment and rules to make it more of a slow moving heavy bomber unit by:
1) Replacing the HK missles with a bomb payload instead. Weather it be cluster bombs, inferno bombs, and whatever else types of bombs there are.
2) Remove the Fast part of the unit type
3) Reduce the amount of Autocannon turrest to only one, or maybe two, to further enforce the idea of the unit being more of a slow moving, 'endgame-like' heavy bomb dropper, rather than a floating, supporting fire gun platform.
Although, my changes to your idea deviate too far from the original concept, I think, so I'd suggest making it a variation of the Battle Zepplin, and possibly making it a super-heavy zepplin. Something kind of like what a Marauder Bomber is to a Marauder Destroyer.
~~~~~EDIT~~~~~
Now for something I would love to see in the Imperial Guard 7th 'Dex.
Let's see a melee oriented guardsman, shall we?
Imperial Guard Assault Trooper (For a lack of better name.)
Faction: Imperial Guard- Elite choice, Fast Attack, OR Troop, in the Infantry Platoon. 60pts for 10 models.
Role: Fast, counter-attack melee unit. (Think unmounted Rough Riders)
Inf 3/3/3/3/1/3/1/7/5+
Inf(ch) 3/3/3/3/1/3/2/8/5+
Wargear: Laspistol, CCW, Flak Armour, Frag Grenades
USR: Move Through Cover
Options: Can choose any combination of doctrines
- Assault Guard Doctrine: Replaces laspistols with Guard-issued flechette blasters (or equivalent) S2 AP-/ Burst Pistol. 20 pts
- Thunder Fighter Doctrine: Squad receives shotguns with their standard Wargear. 15 pts
- Specialist Doctrine: Raises special weapons to three. Unlocks Heavy Flamer. 10 pts
- Entire squad may replace flak armour with carapace armour. 15 pts
- One member can replace ranged weapons with a Heavy Flamer if the Specialist Doctrine is taken. 10 pts
- Remaining members can replace their ranged weapons with a special weapon. OR
- Replace their melee weapon with an Honour Blade. S+2 AP2/ Melee, Two- handed, unwieldy 10pts each
-Typical Sargent upgrades
So this is just an idea, and I clearly suck at writing rules. Thoughts?

Loving the idea of this thread and some of the ideas on it are looking pretty good. Chaos cultist bikers look like the perfect opportunity for convertions!
How about rough riders that are much cheaper?

Eldar Wraith-somethings (I have yet to think of a name)
They are essentially a Wraithguard like unit on 25mm bases - being Guardian sized. The lore behind this being that they are simpler and easier to craft by less talented seers (Because my craft-world has relatively few seers) but then are less advanced and less capable.
Their profile is as follows:
WS: 3 BS: 3 S: 3 T: 3 W: 1 I: 4 A: 1 Ld: 8 Sv: 4+
Along with the special rules seen on regular WraithGuard
They can take the following weapons:
Wraithcarbine:
Range: 12" Strength: 6 AP: 4 Assault 1
- this will be the stock weapon
Distortion :
Range: Template Strength: 5 AP: 4 Assault 1
- This is available as an upgrade for 5 ppm.
The unit starts as a group of five for 120pts
Able to take up to five more for 24 ppm.
Able to take a Wave Serpent as dedicated transport.
I think they're a bit on the cheap side, but I know nothing about point balancing and any input is greatly appreciated.

Special Rules:
'Ere We Go!
Fearless
Inspiring Presence (All Ork Boyz and Gretchin within 12 incehs are Fearless)
Wargear:
Supa Power Klaw (S10 AP1 Rending Unwieldy)
TL Shoota
Burna (can't be used as Power Weapon)
May:
Take 3 more TL Shootas - 10 points (?) each
May replace TL Shootas with TL Rokkit Launcha - Free
Replace TL Shootas/Rokkits with another Supa Power Klaw

You need to calm down good sir. 40K is a serious grimdark universe and nobody in their right mind would put a space marine inside of a space marine. Next thing you know there are terminators riding in baby carrier dreadnoughts, open topped walkers with no arms that have rules for a big monstrous creature, and Ork walkers that don't look like ramshackled scrap heaps.

"Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the 'noble savage'. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we'd overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn't the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!" —Jago Sevatarion

After going through a vehicle creation ruleset from here, I ended up making this baby:
Name: Mk IV Blockade Removal Vehicle
Unit Type: Super Heavy Tank
Bs: 3 | Av: 14/14/14 | HP: 9 | Save: 4++
Weapons:
-4x Eradicator Nova Cannon (as sponsons)
-8x Vanquisher Battle Cannon (mounted as a turret, sorta like a minigun)
-1x Eradicator Nova Cannon (hull mounted)
-1x Twin-Linked Heavy Bolter (hull mounted)
Cost: 580 points.
Its essentially a Baneblade chassis, where all the weapons have been swapped out. Four sponson mounts, combines the 8 Vanquishers into an 8-shot Str 8 Ap 2 Armourbane cannon on the turret, and hull-mounds another two weapons. Armour boosted to 14 all round, and with a 4++ invulnerable save.
Wondering what you lot think of it.
Original post:

Tech Adept Doritosius Chipsicus felt great disdain at the Baneblade variants of the Imperium. So he modified one.
Race: Humans (Free Smoke Launchers and Spotlights)
Type: Tank
Class: Super Heavy
Armour Value: 14/14/14 [115 pts]
Weapons:
-4x Eradicator Nova Cannon (as sponsons) [80 pts]
-8x Vanquisher Battle Cannon (mounted as a turret, sorta like a minigun) [120 pts]
-1x Eradicator Nova Cannon (hull mounted) [20 pts]
-1x Twin-Linked Heavy Bolter (hull mounted) [15 pts]
Hull Points: 9 [200 pts]
Specials:
-Energy shield (4++) [30 pts] (What. This statistically makes the vehicle worth 18 Hull Points, which should have added a whopping 300 points to it.)
Total: 580 points.
So. Cheaper than a Hellhammer with one pair of sponsons by 10 points, will outshoot it at any/every instance, has far more Av, and has statistically double the durability (excluding Av changes).
At least this is what Baneblades should look like.
KX149 Sovereign Armor - 2,000 points The stormsurge and Ta'unar combined to create this masterpiece of tau engineering. Due to the extreme cost of development and production, only 1 such "suit" exists, and its defenses are clear signs that the earth caste creators do not want their creation destroyed easily. It is similar in look to the Ta'unar, but is much larger. It also borrows some of its technology from the XV-9 armor of battlesuit commander R'alai and the R’varna.
WS: 3 BS: 4 S: D T: 10 W: 10 I: 2 A: 3 Ld: 9 Sv: 2+ Unit Type: Gargantuan Creature Wargear: - One arm-mounted Pulse Ordnance Multi-driver System - One arm-mounted Heavy pulse submunitions cannon with special ammunition - One shoulder mounted Heavy Pulse Driver Cannon - One shoulder mounted Twin-linked Heavy Rail Gun - Two chest-mounted Heavy Burst Drivers - One back-mounted Railgun battery - Praetorian defence system - "Eclipse" Barrier shield generator
Praetorian defence system The Praetorian defence system comprises two twin-linked Fusion Eradicators and two twin-linked Ion Accelerators which may be fired normally. In addition, these weapons can be used to make Overwatch attacks at BS2 contrary to the usual rules for Gargantuan Creatures.
Heavy Pulse Driver Cannon The Heavy Pulse Driver Cannon is nearly identical to one of the main weapons on the new Stormsurge ballistic suit, but capable of unleashing more devastating blasts due to the increased power capacity and throughput of the sovereign. R:72" SD AP1 Ordnance 1, Massive Blast
Heavy Burst Driver The Heavy Burst Driver is an improvement upon the heavy burst cannon usually found on the Riptide battlesuit. R:72" S:8 AP:2 Heavy 12
Railgun battery The railgun battery on the sovereign was developed mainly for overwhelming anti-air defense. R:72" S:10 AP:1 Heavy 4, twin-linked, Skyfire, Interceptor
Heavy pulse submunitions cannon This weapon is simply a larger version of the weapon wielded by the R’varna battlesuit, which itself is a larger version of the one wielded by Shas'o R'alai. R:72" S6 AP4 Heavy 1, Massive Blast, Cluster Fire
Special Ammunition In place of its normal shot, the sovereign can instead choose to use one of the following ammunition types EMP Shell - R:72" S8 AP3 Heavy 3, Blind, Haywire Burst Hyper-Desity Sabot R:72" SD AP1 Heavy 2 Ionic Cluster-Beam Shell R:72" S6 AP4 Heavy 2, Apocalyptic Blast
"Eclipse" Barrier shield generator This is a Barrier shield generator as described in the Ta'unar rules, with the invulnerable save starting at 4+ and becoming 3+ against shooting attacks.

can neither confirm nor deny I lost track of what I've got right now.
