I was debating whether to put this in the Proposed Rules section or here.

I was bored and felt like starting this thread to see what rules people would make and what kinda of characters people would make 40k rules for.

I'll start with:

From an anime that I particularly enjoy, Kara no Kyoukai: The Garden of Sinners
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kara_no_Ky%C5%8Dkai

Ryougi Shiki[180pts]
WS7 BS4 S3 T3 W3 I6 A4 Ld10 Sv-
Equipment: CCW, throwing knives
Throwing knives: count as a ccw. They can also be used in the shooting phase with the following profile: R6" S3 AP- Assault2, Mystic Eyes of Death Perception

Special Rules
EW, Fleet, FNP, Infiltrate, Scout
Origin: the Void - Being the physical embodiment of the Void, the origin of everything, Shiki can destroy and reshape the universe if she pleases. She is all and knows all. Shiki has a 4+ save against anything that causes wounds and psychic abilities. It is not an invulnerable, armour, or cover save.
Mystic Eyes of Death Perception - Shiki's close combat and shooting attacks are rending. However, she rends on a 5+. In addition, rolls to wound of 5+ automatically cause a wound that are AP2 regardless of toughness. Against vehicles, hits that are landed cause an automatic glancing hit on a 5 and a penetrating hit on a 6.

It's an interesting idea, but it would have to be worth a fair amount of points.

Ezio de Auditore da Firenze from Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Can you explain the Disguise rule for Mercer I don't think I understand how that quite works. If I read it correctly, it sounds sorta like the callidus assassin's polymorphine ability.

Why can't we ever hit anything?
When firing at an Idependent character or a unit containing an independent character, stormtrooper's BS is reduced to -1, and in combat always strike at an unmodified initiative of 1.

Aww, this armour is useless...
When being fired at by an independent character, or a unit containing an independent character, stormtroopers lose their armour save. This also applys in close combat.

Damn ewoks! Or ewok equivilents!
Stormtroopers automatically lose combat and are swept when attacking or are attacked by small, cute furry aliens.

Wargear- Krak and frag grenades.
laser gun-counts as pulse rifle.

Let's say I have Alex and you have boyz. Alex assaults, kills a boy and he uses his ability. He joins the unit as an ork boy and is controlled by you, but at any time, I can choose to regain control of him. He can transform and assault at that moment, even if it's your turn. Also:

Those storm troopers sound like imperial guardsmen who have a decent armor... some of the time.

Special rules:

- too cool to get hit; Blondie is just too cool to get hit in a firefight or something like that, so he ha a 3 or 4+ invul.

Wargear

- His gun: Blondie automtically wounds anything on a 2+ and intakills it on a 5+, wich is also what he needs for rending. Against vehicles he counts as having S4

edit:

forgot to mention that he can allocate the wounds intead of the enemy

I guess he'd cost something 150ish

Weapons:
Fists: Count as power fists in assault, but won't reduce The Terminators initiative.
Shotgun: Rng 12 S 4 Ap 4 Assault 3

Special rules:

Fearless,Relentless

Man of steel: Poisoned weapons wont work on the Terminator, nor do flamer or melta weaponry (any one who has seen the latest terminator movie hopefully knows what Im talking about).

Fate unknown: At the start of the game choose terminate or protect.
1. Terminate: At the beginning of the game, nominate any enemy model or unit as the target to be terminated. The Terminator gains the preferred enemy rule against the target (may re-roll hits against vehicles).
2. Protect: At the start of the game, choose one friendly model or unit. The Terminator must always be within 6" inches of the model or else this rule is nulfilled. If an enemy unit is at least 10"inches away from the chosen unit/model, The Terminator is counted as being initiating an assault to the enemy unit and is placed B2B with the enemy unit.

I'll be back: If The Terminators wounds are reduced to 0, place an counter where he "died". At the start of each turn, roll a die and on the roll of 3+, The Terminator is returned to the game with 1 W left. If The Terminator is reduced to 0 wounds after this, it stays dead and won't come back.

Give me your clothes. NOW!: Instead of deploying The Terminator, its controlling player may secretly choose one enemy infranty unit model and write the chosen model down (this may not be an enemy HQ or "sergeant"). At the start of any turn, the player may reveal The Terminator. Replace the chosen model with The Terminator. It may then act as normally, but is considered as being in assault.

Options:
20+ Bike (this is an regular bike that makes the "give me your clothes" special rule, unusable.

Niko Bellic

WS: 3

S: 3
T: 4
W: 2
I: 3
A: 1
LD: 9
Save: 5

Weapons: RPG-7, counts as GL.
AK-47-Counts as lasgun with AP 6.

May take body armor, gives a 4+ save.
May take friends, which provide benefits.
Roman: Gives Niko a 4+ invuln save, due to his need to protect his cousin.
Little Jacob: Provides firepower, Niko is now armed with bolt pistol equivalent on top of normal weapons.
Packie: Provides demo charge.
Brucie: Roid rage! Brucie provides an extra attack in close combat.
Dwayne: Provides 2 extra units, which count as bodyguards, with the Look out!--ARGH! rule.

Each friend is a unit on the table, with a laspistol equivalent weapon. They have the stats of a guardsman. Should one die, Niko gains preferred enemy on the unit that killed them, and becomes fearless, for he is mad with revenge.

This is a jekking! When Niko assaults a vehicle, he gets 2d6 to penetrate, should the vehicle be destroyed, instead of being removed from play, it is jacked by Niko, and becomes yours.

Yellow car! In a drunken fit, Niko hails the nearest friendly vehicle, and embarks it. It may move an extra 2" inches.

Unit Type: Jump Infantry

Wargear:
Invisibility Cloak: Harry Potter has the stealth and infiltrate universal special rules. Also, if any unit wants to shoot at harry potter, the opposing player must roll 2d6. The unit's spotting distance for shooting at harry is 2d6x2 inches. If they cannot see him, they cannot shoot him. The unit may not shoot anything else that turn.
Wand: Harry Potter may cast 2 DIFFERENT spells/psychic powers per turn.
Firebolt Broom: Harry Potter flies around on his broom, the firebolt. He is jump infantry.
Sword of Gryffindor: The sword of Gryffindor is a power weapon that always wounds on a 2+.
Weasley Firecrackers: Harry Potter and any unit he joins counts as having offensive and defensive grenades.

Special Rules:
Independent character
The shield of love and sacrifice: For whatever reason when Harry's mom died protecting him it made him pretty much invincible. Therefore Harry Potter has a 2+ invulnerable save.
Apparition: In the movement phase, instead of moving, Harry Potter may apparate. Harry Potter can even apparate if he is locked in close combat. Pick a spot on the battlefield and place Harry Potter there. Normal deep striking rules apply, however there is no scatter. Harry can also apparate onto the field from reserve. He can apparate out of a unit he is joined to. If an independent character (friend or foe) is in base contact with harry potter when he apparates, they also get transported wherever he goes. He cannot apparate into close combat.
Sheer Luck: When Harry inflicts a wound on an enemy character or monstrous creature in close combat, roll a D6. On the result of a 6 the target is automatically removed from play.
Stealth & Infiltrate (from invisibility cloak)
The Chosen One: Harry Potter has the Eternal Warrior special rule. Also, while harry is alive, all units in his army receive +1 to their leadership characteristic, to a maximum of 10. When/if he dies, all units in his army receive a -1 to their leadership characteristic, starting in the next player turn after he is killed.
Harry Potter counts as a scoring unit.

Spells for Harry Potter (all cast in the shooting phase. may not be cast if harry is locked in close combat. may move and cast. may not apparate and cast in the same turn.):
Stupefy: If successfully cast the target unit becomes pinned. Range: 12"
Reparo: Harry can repair immobilized results on vehicles. Range: 6"
Expecto Patronum: All friendly units within 12" of Harry Potter may re-roll failed morale checks and leadership tests.
Cruciatus Curse: It may be cast on any independent character within 12" of Harry Potter, even if they are locked in close combat. The character and his attached unit automatically fall back 2D6 inches and count as falling back. It does not work on fearless units.
Imperio: When cast, harry potter may move any living model 6" in a direction of his choice, including separating them from a unit they are attached to or taking them into/out of close combat.
Sectum Sempra: It may be cast on any living model within 12" of Harry Potter, even if they are locked in close combat. The target automatically suffers a wound, without saves of any kind permitted. If the target is in close combat, the wound counts toward the resolution of that combat during the same turn.

Everything works for Mr Potter except the Cruciatus Curse. Maybe replace it with the disarming spell, I don't remember the name.

Expelliarmus.
The hit unit counts as having no wargear except armour until the end of their next turn?

Expelliarmus, that's what it was, thanks.

The unit cannot shoot the next shooting phase? If targeting an IC, they also assault with their hands/claws instead of their equipped weapons(counts as 1ccw)?
