I've recently played through all of the gears of war series again and after seeing several fan made codeces based on different universes I thought I would make one based on the Coalition of Ordered Governments. I have tried to make the rules as balanced as possible, but if I've made anything too overpowered, just let me know, but please take into account costings on the units or weapons before telling me. Some of you may notice a lack of Elites choice, but I am working on rules for Delta squad and Zeta squad at the minute which will go in the Elites slot.

I have tried to make the rules fit with how I percieve the COG to function and I hope you all enjoy reading my rules.

If you have any suggestions or improvements then I would love to hear from you.

Thanks, Bede.

The rules are in the spoiler below, just so the OP was not massively long for anybody just glancing at this thread.

Edited so the title was more recognisable

Will go over this in more detail later, but for now I'll just comment on the weapons:

Lancer Mk2 st 4 ap 5 range 24 assault 2 Chainsaw counts as close combat weapon

Str4 AP5 is fine, I'd say assault 1 or rapid fire, chainsaw I'd possibly make rending, 24" range is fine.

Hammerburst strength 4 ap 4 range 30 assault 2

I would make this rapid fire.

Lancer Mk1 st 5 ap 5 Range 18 assault 2 Bayonet grants the wielder plus one strength on the charge.

this I would make assault 1 regardless. I think it granting +1 attack would be fluffier.

Gnasher Shotgun St 5 ap - Range 12 Assault 2

I'd make this dual profile - Str6 AP- Range 6 Assault 1 / Str 3 AP- Range 12, Assault 2.

Sawed Off St 6 ap - Range 6 Assault 1

This I would make Str8 ap- range 3, Assault 1. Ingame it'll instant kill damn near anything - if you could kiss it.

Long Shot St x ap 3 Range 36 Heavy 1 Sniper

This is fine.

Scorcher Strength 4 AP 5 Range template Assault 1

Also fine.

Chaingun Strength 7 AP 4 Heavy 4 Range 30 Rending

I'd say range 24, Heavy 3. dropping rending.

Missile Launcher
Frag St 4 AP5 Heavy1 Blast Range 48
Krak St 8 AP3 Heavy1 Range 48

They don't have a missile launcher - I'd make this a Torque Bow - Str8 Ap3, Heavy 1, Rending, to fill in the rocket launcher place.

Vulcan Cannon Strength 8 AP 4 Heavy 2 Range 24

This is like a chaingun on roids, so need 2 man team, str8, ap4, heavy 4, range 30, rending (like you had the chaingun initially

)

Mortar Strength 8 AP 3 Heavy 1 Large Blast Range 6-36

I'd say small blast, heavy 3.

One Shot Strength 8 AP 1 Heavy 1 Range 48

I'd make this a Lance or maybe Rending

Hammer of Dawn St 10 Ap 1 Blast Range 36 Heavy 1 scatters 1d6 but does not minus ballistic skill. It can only hit the top of buildings and ruins.

I would make this Str9 Ap1, Heavy 1, range 36. Special rule - you choose a start point and end point within 6" of each other, then roll scatter for each. everything in a line between the two resting points gets hit.

Snub Pistol St 4 AP 5 Pistol Range 12

prolly fine.

Boltock Pistol St 5 AP 4 Pistol Range 18 pinning

I'd drop pinning from thisun and make the Gorgon Machine Pistol that's str3, 12" or 18", pinning
