With the release of the updated Beta seeing the V2 rules in their more or less final state, this seemed like a good time to get caught up with my assorted homebrew units created originally for the V1 ruleset. To begin with, I have worked through my Epirian creations, compiling them into a PDF for easy reference.











These units are all converted from assorted Maelstrom's Edge parts, or modified models from other games. To duplicate them, you can find the original modeling articles by following the links below, or you can choose to use whichever other appropriate models you have to hand. Note that as these are unofficial rules, you should ensure that you discuss it with your opponent before using them, to make sure they're familiar with and ok with them!



Konstantin Moor, Veteran Bot Handler - a unique Commander accompanied by two custom drones.

Sentinel Bot Unit - a robotic replacement for the standard Contractor unit.

Warden - a boostpack-equipped Epirian solo character.

Contractor Truck - a light transport vehicle for moving your Contractors about.

Scorpion Drone - a modified Spider Drone with a nastier bite.

Thunderbolt Sentry Drone - an automated weapon drone built from the PDC Gaming gun carriage model.

SecDef FA90 Reconnaissance Walker - a scout vehicle adding firepower and advance intel for SecDef forces.

SecDef Reaper Team - Originally just called the SecDef Heavy Team, updated with a better name and more options.

SecDef ATV16 “Ironhide” Transport - an armored SecDef transport converted from a Miniature Scenery Tactical Response Vehicle.



The Thunderbolt Sentry Drone and Warden already had V2 Beta rules published. This document updates them to V2.1, adding a Micro Drone equipment option to the Warden and including the rules entry for the Thunderbolt's Rotating Mount, which was left off the original page.

Following on from my Epirian Foundation update last week, I have now also revised my homebrew Karists from V1. This was a much smaller job, as I hadn't actually created as many Karist units, and that's clearly a terrible oversight that needs to be rectified! As such, along with updating the existing units, I have also added in a couple of extras from conversions that I had made that I hadn't created rules for yet.











As with the Epirians, these units are all converted from assorted Maelstrom's Edge parts, or modified models from other games.

Kaddar Militant - a variation on the usual Kaddar Nova, with a more warlike focus.

Reaper Cadre - stealthy Karist Troopers equipped with a longrifle variant of the pulse carbine.

Predator Attack Vehicle - an anti-grav support vehicle based on a Warhammer 40K Genestealer cult buggy.

Raptor Assault Skimmer - a transport vehicle based on a Gates of Antares Freeborn skimmer.

Angel Gloomstalker - a Juvenile Angel variant converted from the plastic Mature Angel kit.

I've also made a couple of tweaks to the Epirian rules posted last week. The SecDef Ironhide has had its Inorganic designator swapped to Armored, Sentinel bots can now all take Shock weapons, and I realised as I was working on the Karists that I already had a unit named 'Reapers', so the newly christened 'SecDef Reaper Team' has now been re-re-named the 'SecDef Wrecker Team'. You can grab the revised rules pages on the V2 Trial Rules page linked above.

Continuing my homebrew unit updates, I have now revised my Broken units from V1!











As with the Epirian and Karist units, these units are converted from assorted Maelstrom's Edge parts, or modified models from other games. To duplicate them, you can find the original modeling articles by following the links below, or you can choose to use whichever other appropriate models you have to hand. Note that as these are unofficial rules, you should ensure that you discuss it with your opponent before using them, to make sure they're familiar with and ok with them!



Download the rules PDF from the V2 Trial Rules page here, and check the links below for the original modeling articles for each unit!










Gnolti Longhorn - an older, wiser Gnolti in a command role.

Gnolti Berserker - a rampaging Gnolti driven into a frenzy by the madness of war.

Pa'ku Heavy Mortar - an alternate rules page for the Pa'ku Artillery unit, adding a heavy mortar option.

Skyboarders - Rabble troops equipped with hoverboards.

Jet Pa'ku - A gun-toting, boostpack-wearing Pa'ku, originally just built for the fun of it, but I couldn't resist giving it rules!

Attack Buggy - a light assault vehicle made from a Mantic Marauder vehicle.

Broken Raider - This one I don't have a conversion built for - these rules were originally put together for the V1 Trial Transport rules article. Feel free to use whatever light truck or buggy models seem like a good fit!
