EDIT: Whoops, forgot the bread and butter Angry Marine abilities...
21 April: More fleshing out of the backstory. Also threw in a refractor field option.
22 April: Thought of a better name for Long Distance Summary Execution, reorganized the special rule provisions to make them more logical, made the refractor field standard, tweaked the points values on CCWs.
24 May: Answered a question posed to me in my own wargear list for this guy.

Ok, this is a conversion to 5th edition I worked out (keep in mind, it's very beta and requires playtesting as well as the blessing of /tg/ as 1d4chan.org still has his 4th ed stats) for everybody's favorite Angry Commissar, John Q. Fuklaw.

Commissar John Q. Fuklaw (135 pts)

Commissar John Fuklaw is a commissar attached to the Angry Marines chapter, trained by Commissar Conrad Raege (who, in turn, is female -- long story short, her father REALLY wanted a boy and her mother died in childbirth). The Angry Marines have a Commissar because Fuklaw was too damn angry to be put anywhere else. After the Angry Marines saw him in action, they started recruiting from his homeworld. Since the Angry Marines are too insane to retreat, he rarely has any problems with morale issues with them. To date, he is the second commissar in Imperial history to join with an Adeptus Astartes chapter (the other being Yarrick). His exploits have spawned a feature comic title (Ragin' Johnny Fuklaw), and a kid-friendly animated adaptation of it was recently picked up for a second season by the Emperor's Light Uplifting Transmission Network.

What most don't see outside of all the glory and accolades is that Fuklaw is his own worst critic. The service record that most in the Commissariat would gleefully kill to call their own is seen by him as unremarkable and insignificant, and not without regrets. He lost his only son in an attack by a Chaos cult, leading to his wife's estrangement until her death. The only person living today who knows about this side of him is Commissar Raege, who not only covered the deductibles of the medical expenses treating the injuries that ended Fuklaw's full-time active duty career, but threw in a full course of juvenat treatments from her personal savings.

Fuklaw now teaches at the Schola Progenium on Reth, but has been from time to time temporarily called back to the Angry Marines for "one last task".

Special Rules

Frack Heresy!

Such is the anger that Commissar Fuklaw has against xenos, mutants and heretics, that he and any unit led by him will fight with redoubled fury against these enemies of the Emprah (as far as Fuklaw is concerned, anyone opposing him is at least one of the three). Commissar Fuklaw, and any unit he is attached to, hit on no worse than 3+, independent of Ballistic or Weapon Skill.

Frack Impostors!

If two opposing armies include Commissar Fuklaw, those models, and the units they are attached to, must, if able, move to get into close combat with each other, and must end their turn closer to each other than they were at the start of the turn. Neither unit may move freely until one of the Commissar Fuklaws (who is obviously an impostor) is killed.

Cover is for Wussies!

Commissar Fuklaw has no stomach for cowardly tactics such as ducking behind cover. He, and any unit he is attached to, are never allowed to take cover saves. Fuklaw will never join an unit wearing Terminator armor.

Drive Me Closer, I Want To Hit Them With My Sword!

Before deployment commences, Commissar Fuklaw may commandeer any non-walker vehicle, even those that normally do not transport models. The original owners, if any, will have to walk. As long as Fuklaw is on board, the vehicle uses his BS for shooting, and must move at least 6" towards the closest enemy unit during its movement phase and tank shock or ram if able. If commandeering a normally non-transport unit, Fuklaw cannot accompany a unit, and cannot disembark unless the vehicle is destroyed.

Paranoid Prosecution

There's a reason Commissar Fuklaw was sent to the Angry Marines... Such is his paranoia, that he sees signs of heresy everywhere - especially among his own unit. When joining a unit, Commissar Fuklaw executes any heretics within it by making 4 attacks with his pistol or chainsword against it. The Frack Heresy! rule does apply for these attacks.

Fear Me, You Fracks, But Follow!

Commissar Fuklaw is a leader of men, due in no small part to the example he presents on the field. He confers the Fearless universal special rule to any unit he joins. Obviously, Fuklaw has no need to execute anyone for cowardice in any unit he joins (he's weeded those out already). However, he will execute an attached Psyker Primaris or Angry Marine Librarian in accordance with the It's For Your Own Good rule (commissar kills any psyker in his attached unit hit by a Perils of the Warp attack). This does prevent the explosion caused by the He's Fracking Crazy! rule. Furthermore, Fuklaw may make a ranged attack against any friendly squad within 12" that fails a Morale check (even if he is embarked in a vehicle - if the vehicle normally does not carry troops or have an available fire point, Fuklaw will fire its main weapon, or whatever weapon remains in the case of Weapon Destroyed damage, at his BS). If that attack kills at least one model, the unit counts as if it had passed the Morale check.


What do you think, sirs?

I liked that so much I added it to the work in progress 5th edition codex. Please PM me whatever moniker you wish to use so I can give you credit.

That was a great write up. Play test it and let me know any changes.

I like how angry they are this may even push me to build and paint my AoBR set in this chater

Is the wrench a lego piece like im thinking?

White Ninja wrote:Is the wrench a lego piece like im thinking?

Yes it is. I picked up a pack from a reseller. Look for lego pipe wrenches.

EDIT: Realized special rule makes Extra Armor redundant, added another attack.

Round 2 for Angry Marine special characters. This one was inspired by a battle report, and given that the original was an expy of Bjorn the Fell-Handed, it's only natural that one of Bjorn's rules be used here.

Sven Angerfister (170 pts)

For most Space Marine chapters, Dreadnought armor is a blessing; a chance to continue the fight for the Imperium in a mightier, more resilient form, to be respected as not just a fierce robotic warrior but as a keeper of tradition and custodian of knowledge.

For most Angry Marines in the chapter's Belligerent Engines, this is a living hell.

The things Angry Marines live for (punching fools in the face and chapter feast days) are forever denied (or close enough to it) to these poor souls, replaced only with throwing as much noisy firepower downrange as possible. If they're lucky, they'll be released from the burden of their half-lives in a catastrophic power system meltdown, for that is the closest they will ever come to a glorious death in battle against the Emprah's enemies.

If not for a few words from the scout sergeant of a Mentor Legion Auxilia who spent time observing the Belligerent Engines in battle, this would've been Sven Angerfister's fate.

Entombed since the Purging of Tertius Gamma, the Techmarines were just about to hook up the armored sarcophagus when the scout sergeant made mention of the Ironclad Dreadnought pattern as a means of making those in the Belligerent Engines less suicidal. As it happened, there was a spare Contemptor-pattern Dreadnought in the motor pool that had been shelved as too lightly armored. After feverishly bolstering its armor, adding some assault launchers from a Land Raider, procuring a magna-grapple through unknown means, and waiting for the seismic hammer STC to be sent to Omnigynist from Mars, Sven Angerfister became the first Ironclad Belligerent Engine to march into battle.

However, the Master of the Angry Forge, having personally overseen the conversion, later received an anchovy pizza instead of the Hawaiian he had ordered, and suffered a debilitating brain aneurysm hunting down and killing those responsible. The Ironclad conversion had been one-of-a-kind, and Mars was mysteriously unwilling to part with the STC to make more.

While Sven is remarkably well-adjusted (for an Angry Marine in a Belligerent Engine), it doesn't make him any less angry, as demonstrated in war games against the Grey Knights and Raven Guard, as well as cleaning up the Texanas Lictor Rodeo.

Special Rules:

Is That The Best You Can Do, Wussies?!

Sven ignores Crew Shaken and Crew Stunned results.

He's The Only Fracking One We've Got!

As Sven is the only Ironclad Belligerent Engine the chapter has, Chapter Master Temperus Maximus has made it clear to his Marines that they don't want to lose him (no gin rations for at least a year were that to happen). If Sven sustains any Destroyed result, leave his model on the table. All Angry Marines gain the Fearless universal special rule for the rest of the game. Sven's wreckage counts as an additional objective for objective-based games. If the game is being played for kill points, the Angry Marine player loses 1D3 kill points if no Angry Marine model is in base-to-base contact with Sven at the end of the game.

You know, I'd just make him a Space Marine version of an Ork CC Deffdred. Instead of those wussy built in guns, give him MORE DCCWs! 4 of them! Because his feet are DCCWs too! For kicking Dreadnaughts in the FACEPLATE!

This space for the Angry Marine Bomb... will post when I get home from work today.

They would look a LOT angrier if you painted the lenses red. Just Sayin'.

Also, a mate of mine plays Reasonable Marines, and this reminds me of themx10

There is actually an advantage to playing reasonable marines: if you camo them well enough, the enemy will occasionally forget about a squad/vehicle of yours exists.

I once had an ork player forget about my entire command squad (I borrowed my friends RM) and I killed his Ghazzy cause of it.

Yeah, I know, rezzing buried threads.... But you can't keep Angry Marines down! Any more progress on the 5th ed codex? After a year hiatus from 40k I am back to working on my Angry Marines. Should have the Angrinator finished up next week. Do you mind if I post a pic here (didn't want to rez AND hijack...).

JaxnFury wrote:I'm sorry to sound like an ass but these are some of the worst mini's i've seen. The Angry Marines were such a silly concept army in the first place but your painting of them looks incredibly messy, rushed and done with very little care or appreciation of the models.

I cringe at all the money that must have been spent on these mini's only for them to be treated like this.

Please try not to take too much offense at this, I really don't want to piss anyone off. I just think you should be given some crticism on these so that you take more care of any future models.

I would recommend stripping down 90% of these and starting again. Keep them as Angry Marines because obviously they appeal to you - and that's fine, but please, for the love of The Emperor, give them a better paint job.

I don't get your bile, he spent his hard earned money on models and painted them in a way he enjoys, you know, the reason we're in this hobby. He didn't use your money. If he wanted to paint his army like that fine. I happen to think they're funny enough to be worth the effort.

Dead thread is dead.

@Mudge, you should most definitely start a new thread to showcase your stuff. Personally I love Angry Marines and enjoy seeing what people come up with.
