Subject: Kinda bummed Mars seems like the only viable option. So I came up with a new forge world...

As the title says I'm kinda bummed Mars and to a lesser extent Stygies seem like the only viable option.
I myself am disappointed that Deimos didn't get a forge world rule.
So here goes my own take on the idea.
Dogma: Silence the Nonbeliever- add 6" to all ranged weapons, additionally units with this Dogma enter close combat at 2" instead of 1"
Warlord Trait: Hexacode Protocol- Units within 6" of your warlord gain the Daemon Hunter Special Rule
Forge World Relic: (replace 1 melee weapon) Shield of the Machine God- the unit holding this relic gains a 3+ invulnerable save. In addition if being attacked by a Psyker model this save is increased to a 2+
Strategem: 3CP- Intervention of the Omnissiah This Stratagem may only be used once per battle. Choose a single dice roll. You may re-roll that dice until it succeeds.

Like, for example... Seizing the Initiative?
Auto-passes on any single roll is just way, way, way, way, way too powerful. There will ALWAYS be a way tho cheese this.

I do much agree. That was just simpler to write than my original idea of conveying a tech-priest in orbit assuming control over a skitarii alpha or princeps. Coming up with an easy to read and rules sensitive way to give one model another's stat line seemed way to lengthy.
EDIT: Something like
Before the battle begins you may choose a single Skitarii Alpha, Ruststalker or Infiltrator Princeps, or a Cybernetica Datasmith.
The chosen model gains the Statline (M, WS, BS, S, T, W, A, LD, and SV) of a Tech-Priest Dominus for the rest of the battle.

That is much smoother, and easier to believe. And I would certainly use that Forge-world.
If I were to do the same to make one, I'd probably go with the ability to use 'Blessing of the Machine-God' multiple times, and on the same vehicle.

From the weakness of the mind, Omnissiah save us. From the lies of the Antipath, circuit preserve us. From the rage of the Beast, iron protect us. From the temptations of the Fleshlord, silica cleanse us. From the ravages of the Destroyer, anima shield us. From this rotting cage of biomatter, Machine God set us free. |

Glad you like it. I wanted to somehow address the complaint everyone seems to have, lack of transport, by making their range of stuff to do larger.
Also people seem to love the whole Skitarii commander hq thing. I do admit after reading some AdMech novels it does sound pretty cool.
Your idea as well is interesting I always find myself in a position where I'm either not repairing enough or I have too much repair since it has to be divided out one at a time.
