**Tyranic Marta**

sounds good

**Matt.Kingsley**

I'm think maybe something along the lines of this for another psychic power:
Range: 12" Str: 4+D6 AP: 4 Type: AssualtW*, Ignores Invunerable Saves**
*Number os Shots=Number of Worshippers alive x 2
**Ignores ALL invunerable saves

**Tyranic Marta**

way to OP, 11 s4 ap4 shots that could cause leadership and ignore invulnerable? this is simoultaneously an orc tau eldar guard and chaos daemons killer, i mean look at the stats, daemon troops dont have armour so that would butcher them, guard, toast, tau, toas, eldar, toast, orks, toast....... drop the template and the fear and your getting somewhere

**Matt.Kingsley**

that better?

**Tyranic Marta**

Hmmm thought about it nearly dissed it hardcore then i realised, its like theyre shooting ap4 storm bolters that ignore invulnies.

I reckon you could make it s5

**Matt.Kingsley**

Check again, it's str 4+D6

**Tyranic Marta**

ohhhh righ

yeah that makes up for it

although 22 s10 shots that ignore invulnies...... maybe it should be +d3

**Matt.Kingsley**

ahh, but worshippers have a 5+/5++ save, and T3
but fine, str 4+D3 it is...

Another power:
Gives worshippers rending attacks and + D6 strength in close combat.

I'm thinking of making them able to use 2 powers a turn

(edit, worshippers are str 2 to begin with, and they all have force weapons)

**Tyranic Marta**

s2 force weapons XD

epic

anyhoo

sounds good.... ish, still think a max of s8 is a bt much, why not allowing both t and s to go up by D3, rolled once and that roll applies to both stats and lasts until the start of the players next turn?

and make them base s3

**Matt.Kingsley**

Ok

**Tyranic Marta**

good man

cn you give us a spoiler on ur first page with everything weve decided on?

**Matt.Kingsley**

Sure, once I move from my IPod to a Pc

**Tyranic Marta**

XD

all good

**Matt.Kingsley**

All though that will probably be in a little while...

**Tyranic Marta**

das k man

**Matt.Kingsley**

done!

**Tyranic Marta**

excellent, having a look now

tis missing the psyker powers

**Matt.Kingsley**

have your little look-see

**Tyranic Marta**

oh good good

**Matt.Kingsley**

yeah, the powers will go up once the unit is done.

**Tyranic Marta**

sounds good man

**Matt.Kingsley**

time ta use my brain ta do 10 tings at once!

**Matt.Kingsley**

^
that plan failed...
anyway, here is the the upgraded soulstorm!
Range: Unlinited Str: W* AP: 3 Type: Assault 1, Causes Fear**, Barrage
*The Strength is the same as the number of worshippers left. If there are 11 worshippers, then the weapon becomes AP: 2
**before the target unit does their pinning test, they need to take a morale check as if they took 25% casualties. If failed, the imediatly fall back

**Tyranic Marta**

small blast?

Automatically Appended Next Post:
and im not sure about unlimited range tbh i mean its epic, but unnessecary, 36 or 48 would be plenty for a weapon like that.

**Matt.Kingsley**

Ok 36" range and Large Blast
But I'll make it AP: 4 and f there are 11 worshippers, it turns to AP: 3

**Tyranic Marta**

sounds good.

ima gonna lol at a group of midgets throwing out a demolisher cannon with one lesss AP and +12 inch range XD

**Matt.Kingsley**

Best thing is, though, the IG psyker squads (while the can get better AP) can't pin or make a unit that hasn't lost 25% of it's size to fall back!

I'm thinking of his for the stat line:
WS: 3
BS: .3
S:...3
T:...3
W:..1
I:....3
A:...1
Ld:..9
Sv:..5+/5++

And their leader (who is also a psyker) has the following profile:
WS: 3
BS: .4
S:...3
T:...3
W:..1
I:....3
A:...2
Ld:..10
Sv:..4+/5++

**Tyranic Marta**

hmmm, yes i think thatll work

these guys cant be cheap tho

**Matt.Kingsley**

They won't be
I'm thinking 15-18 pts?

**Tyranic Marta**

:/ not sure mate, seems a bit cheap for such a powerful squad.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
I reckon 20 would be appropriate... but then again they only have a 5+/5++.... yeah i guess 18 would be ok
