In My Lab

WS........4
BS.........4

I.............4
A............2
Ld..........8
Sv..........2+

Unit Composition
4 Legion Defensors

Unit Type
Infantry (Heavy, Line)
Sergeant is Infantry (Heavy, Line, Character)

Wargear
Combi-Bolter
Chainsword
Legion Cataphractii Terminator Armour

Special Rules
Legiones Astartes [Legion]
Relentless
Inexorable
Bulky (2)
Total Defense
Spoiler:
A unit with this special rule may, at the beginning of the controlling player's Shooting phase or any player's Combat phase, declare they are using Total Defense.
A unit that declares Total Defense in the Shooting phase gains Shrouded (5+) until the start of the controlling player's next Shooting phase, but all shooting attacks for that time are made as Snap Shots.
A unit that declares Total Defense in the Combat phase treats their WS as double its actual value for the purposes of being attacked, but treats it as half its actual value for the purposes of attacking the enemy. Furthermore, they can only make attacks at Initiative Step 1, regardless of their actual value.

An attached Independent Character does not prevent a unit from using this rule. The Independent Character does not suffer the penalties or gain the bonuses of a Total Defense unit.


Options
-Up to five additional Defensors may be included
+35 PPM
-One Defensor may take a Legion Vexila

-------------------------------------------------------------

Basic idea for a defense-oriented Cataphractii unit.

Compared to regular Cataphractii, they...

+Gain Line
+Total Defense
+Plus one Leadership
-Chainswords instead of Power Weapons base, though they can upgrade back to Power Weapons for 5 points each (and all better ones are 5 points more than normal)
-No one-in-five ranged weapons
-Five PPM more expensive
