Yes, me again. Some rules I made for the main Blood Ravens DoW characters, along with Chapter Tactics. I know I'm not great at rules but here they are anyway.



Edit; Note there is an error in Angelos' version of Chapter Tactics that goes as follows

"...any character may be upgraded to a PSyker Mastery Level 1..."

The other documents also have a small error.

This should read

"...any character ,other than named characters may be upgraded to a PSyker Mastery Level 1 at no additional cost. However..."

I like the chapter tactic, they seem very blood raven-y. As for the characters I do like them, you have obviously though about them but i think they lack a certain...umpff, so to speak. For example Thaddeus is quite simply a Sargent with an extra Ws and A, i don't think that captures how he played in games.

I think for the characters here you should do it almost exactly like the game, you have a base model with base special rules with base equipment (Chain Swords, Bolters, Heavy Bolters) then give them the option to buy the other weapons (Shot Guns, Snipers, Power Weapons, Melta Bombs, Demo Charges) for a small extra cost. That way you can kit them out to what your army needs, exactly like in game. Other then that i do love it, IWND on Avitus is just perfect! Maybe give him a sustained fire were he gets Twin-Linked if firing at the same unit as last turn?

Interesting rules you have for Angelos. I just happen to have some for myself in my sig. Also cool chapter tactics, gives a nice 1k Sons feel to them which could be true given fluff.

The named sergeants are a nice mechanic, though I'm for giving them options like you could in the game itself. Also Thaddeus could use a rule for himself to make him set apart and to justify the price increase over regular Sergeant. For Avitus i might be better to give him Hatred(Astra Militarum) given his disdain and borderline hatred of them due to Dark Crusade.

Thanks to both of you for your input, much appreciated.

In regards to the options bit, I think I am personally going to leave that out, as I dislike Named Characters coming with options. On the other hand, if anyone wants to improve on these and use them as a basis for their own work feel free ^_^

With regards to Thaddeus, do you have any suggestions as to a special rule or so that would better suit him?

Any Assault Squad with him as Sergeant get D3 HoW hits per model in BtB?

Updated version of Sergeant Thaddeus, and Veteran Sergeant Tarkus.

Does anyone have any comments on Thaddeus 1.1 or Tarkus?
