O'kay.

My fan SM chapter need some Elite.

The Deep Wyvern are an heretical (non-chaotic) chapter who operate in the Halo. They see themselves more than knights against the evil than purely Imperium defenders (even more now they have been declared heretics).
Deep wyverns are not xenophobiacs. They even have some "space skavens" xenos in some positions. But they "hate" races they see as evils (Chaos, Dark Eldars, Tyranids...).
It's a pretty young chapter. Adding to that they are already heretics mean they lack... a lot of stuffs (Terminators, Dreadnoughts, LandRaiders, some heavy weapons, etc.).

Deep wyverns often arrives AFTER the enemy has landed on the planet (given the enormity of the distances in the halo), and have regularly to fight enemies with already build bases. They are particularly good in closed environment, probably less in opens.


The Spearers are their "tactical" Elites. They generally are one of the first troops in caves interventions, and often spear massive attacks. Deep Wyvern commander like to use them to drive other "less warrior-ish" allied armies, like Humans or Ratzens. Spearers let invariably the memory of knights ifor the populations they helped.

Advices ?


Spearers - Cost ?
Elite - Veteran (only one unit with Veteran tag in the army)

Spearer Wyvern => WS: 4 BS 4 S: 4 T: 4 W: 1 I: 4 A: 2 Ld: 9 Sv: 3+/4+
Spearer Wyvern Sergeant => WS: 5 BS 4 S: 4 T: 4 W: 1 I: 4 A: 2 Ld: 9 Sv: 3+/4+

Don't having any Terminator armor or dreadnought at their disposition, Deep Wyvern found themselves lacking in heavy firepower in close combat. They found a solution in their personal view of Spaces Marines : The knights who defend the people against the Darkness of Evil.
« Forgetting » to send back fallen imperium soldiers material, they used their connections with Ratzen peoples to learn how to build solid front armor for their better and most experienced soldier. Arming them with solid hand weaponry, they gave them the task to spear the charge of the army.
Brave between the braves, sometimes even total fools, the Spearer Wyverns inspire all around soldiers in surpassing themselves.
