A friend and I were having a little game and he mentioned that terminators are really slow. So he was thinking they should have the options to have jump packs

Not only that, but we were talking about some other SM things, and the idea of Assault Marines on bikes came up How would it work though? Wierd.
Other things we were talking about:
-Terminator Bikers
-Venerable Venerable Dreadnoughts
- Flying dreadnoughts
- Dreadnought lightning claws
- Dreadnought battlecannons
- Vindicator with a predator turret
- Land Raiders with turbo boosters
- Super Land Raiders
- Space Marine Ogryns
- Attack bikes with two dudes on the sides.
- Honour guard scouts
- Scout dreadnoughts
- Obliterator Dreadnoughts (chaos)
- Land Raider Grav Tanks


Just our random musings. Enjoy and discuss :3

You've just described the next codex that Matt Ward will be writing.

I see what you did there

yea blood angels had a decent bit of that list, for the rest not really imho.

Either a bit unbalanced or just not needed. e.g turbo boosting land raiders (act6ually just flat out, bikes turboboost, not vehicles) or attack bikes with 2 guys respectively.

Jumppack Terminators!!!!!, I hear you. Here's somthing I started a while back.

"Attack bikes with two dudes on the sides" this sounds pretty sweet and probably a fun conversion. Concider it added to me list of projects.

That just might be how we DO end up with these things!

Oh, I'm not saying they should be actual codex entries,that would be silly
These are all just the result of a silly conversation on the monotony of SMs

Am I the only one who remembers that when the rules for Terminators were orignally published in White Dwarf (113? 115?) Jump Packs were an option? Those who don't know history, are doomed to repeat it...

Mega armour grots for orks, they would be well funny, a grot with a 2+!
This is one i would like to have, grot sniper teams, only for the fact that if a grot sniper takes out anything it would be soul crushing for the oponent.

You already have killa kans....It's a discrace to lose to them..

I still like the idea of a scout honour guard..

Ha ha a killa kan is pretty stompy though, more stompy than a sniper grot lol. still really want to make a mega amour grot now just be well funny.

Lightning clawed Librarian Dreadnought with a battle cannon surfing on a flying Land Raider moving flat out.

And a grot hangin' on for the ride.

There's the bar.

This thread is now about cramming more awesome into this picture. ^

It's pulling an earthshaker cannon behind it :p

and has a flying terminator honor guard.

As for the sniping gretchin. I would be forever grateful if someone could come up with decent rules to use those in friendly games.

And it's holding the earthshaker cannon over it's shoulder.

And it has a cigar in it's mouth owait, it's dynamite.

This is sounding more and more like something I fully expect to see in the next Duke Nukem game.

And it's playing The Trooper with one hand on a guitar with an underslung heavy flamer.

Thunder wolf cav are almost like jumppack termies with two wounds per.

The Librarian's got full-sized Whirlwind launchers mounted on his suit.

He's suplexing an Imperator Titan into the Sun while doing all of that.

Space Marine Terminator catapult!

Launch them into the face of your enemies.

I was gonna say, sounds like someone should be playing 1st or 2nd edition. You could do most of that stuff. I had a dreadnought that I designed with a Marco Cannon.

Oh how I miss parts of the old game. Yeah not great for tournaments, but so much fun. Now I cant even throw a proper grenade or split fire, or move everyone except my heavy weapon and still shoot with everyone.

Im glad my old group and i still play with house rules.

Split fire....I still do this on accident Well, with tanks at least.

That really should have ended the thread right there.

The trooper pulls off his helmet and is Duke Nukem.

of course, because Space Marines need another reason to be called over-powered...

Yes, they do.

Knowing GW, if they make marines broken, more people will buy the models!

terminators with a 3+ invulnerable save on 2d6, that can move like beasts with fleet? come on matt ward you listening? these can go in my BT dex pls
