So after my little brother and myself have been spending some free cash on those Mega Bloks Halo kits, we thought why not put all that money to some use and have fun with a gaming system we are familiar with. So with some thought I started to get to work on a warhammer 40k army system for the armies, and so far have began with the covenant units. Keep in mind I have only started only making rules for the miniatures that megabloks has put out so far that you can easily get in numerarity.







((PS There is suppose to be separation lines between the unit profiles, but for some reason they did not show.

If 120 points is for 5, they're insanely overpowered. 5+ invuln + 3+ armour is a 25% chance to take a wound, which they have 2 of; I'm going to assume plasma sword is a power weapon and plasma pistol is ~ap2, both being ccw. 4 Power attacks on the charge hitting MEQ on 3+ and wounding on 4+, rerolling 1's for both, is looking at at least 35 points per model, maybe more depending on what Inspiring Presence does.

Grunts are undercosted again; Look at Gretchen, then back to grunts, then back to gretchen, then back to grunts, If grunts' plasma pistol is ANYTHING better than S3, they're 5 points per model. If it's ANYTHING better than AP-, they're +1ppm for each AP.

Depending on Elites' Plasma Rifle stats, this squad may actually be UNDERpowered. 18ppm for a MEQ statline -1Ld/SV...

Overall, very broken and undercosted. We're also lacking what the wargear does.

Also, a big no to rolling your invuln in addition to your armour save.

Whats the stats of covie plasma weaponry your going to use? The closest WH40k equivalent is... the lasgun. Fluff to fluff they do the same damage.

Alright, been doing some work on the vehicles and some weapon profiles and wanted to post some more revamped ideas. I took what you guys said earlier and wanted to post a more balanced idea with weapon profiles. So far here is the Warthog and the Plasma rifle.

One point; Flyers can't be hit by blast weapons.

The bansshee is considered a skimmer for tgat purpose. However against other flyers I will put in that against air it disregards blast templates.

Sorry if I was unclear; the Warthog has a Skyfire weapon that is a blast; it cannot hit flyers. The banshee is fine.
