I am new to this, but my friends and I have been talking about a new Code for Warhammer 40k. We were thinking about writing making a new race called the Doctors. Just think about it, and see how creepy you can make a physician become. They have use of scalpels, syringes, tubes, and all manner of toxic things. We are looking for some experienced people who have good ideas for special rules, paint patterns, and new characters, such as Nurse Ratchet from One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest. It would be awesome to get some input on this, so let us know what you think. Here is what we have so far.

Warhammer 40k Codex Doctors

Special Rules
Aerial Insertion- The Squad may deploy from a vehicle moving flat out at any point of it’s path, and shoot normally.
Syringe Gun- Every gun labeled as a syringe launcher has a Poison Attack when a Roll of 5+ with a D6 is rolled.
Tardy- A unit with this rule counts as having the Stubborn and Furious Charge Universal Special Rules.
Psychic Powers
Bolster- For every unit with the bolster special rule, add 2d6 zombies to a squad of Zombies. This can take the unit over it’s starting amount.

Seconded.

Hi,

Welcome to Dakka, not entirely sure the Introductions forum would be the best place for this however having a quick glance at your proposed new faction the wargear/rules seem a little OP
+3 str on a CC weapon....
Bolster... what exactly are the stats on these zombies?
24" on a syringe gun? (having played TF2 24" range is way to far IMO)
Cosmetic implants giving +1 S and +1 T for something cosmetic?

Going from your proposed rules, I could lobotomize a model then strait away add 2d6 zombies to that unit giving a potential 13 zombies in one psychic power turn, then do the same thing next assault phase...

I like the idea, perhaps not the rule set at the moment.

Welcome to Dakka!

Have fun!

Iranna.

Welcome to dakka.

Perhaps this thread would better be served in the proposed rules section. Otherwise, it seems like an interesting idea to play with.
