Idea for an IS-2 style Imperial Guard tank, let me know what you guys think
Vulkan Heavy Tank
The Vulkan Heavy Tank began life as a stop gap measure in Valhallan Infantry regiments during the protracted campaign to liberate the Lvov Sector form the Tau Empire. Guard commanders, in the face of mounting tank losses decided a vehicle that was sturdy, effective against infantry and vehicles, be able to be produced locally and not consume supplies needed for the Leman Russes was needed, to free up armored regiments for mobile operations . The Lvov sector produced Earthshaker guns before the Tau had invaded, and that was selected as the tanks armament. The Valhallan tech priests managed to get ahold of an STC that made Ragnarok tanks and, after discovering that the turret ring on the Ragnarok was too small to accommodate the Earthshaker gun, several extensive modifications were made. Armor was increased, the engine was powered up and a new turret was designed. The first few built used an unmodified Earthshaker cannon, which proved disastrous as it could not be loaded quickly in a turret or trained to hit close range targets. A variant of the cannon called the Earthshaker D-25-T was made, with an improved breech and gun sights. The resulting vehicle was a success and thereafter all factories on Lvov were dedicated to its production.
Vulkan Heavy Tank
Pts: 175
Unit Type: Vehicle, Tank, Heavy
BS: 3
FA: 14
SA: 13
RA: 11
HP: 4
Weapons: Hull mounted Heavy Stubber, Turret mounted Earthshaker Gun D-25-T
Options:
May purchase any vehicles upgrades allowed by the Imperial Guard Codex
May purchase a turret rear Heavy Stubber for 10 pts
Special Rules: Turret Rear Heavy Stubber: A feature implemented by a tech priest who had obviously never been to a battlefield, the Vulkan has a second heavy stubber mounted in the rear of the turret. Completely useless in normal situations the turret rear gun can ward off attacking infantry.
Models assaulting the Vulkan must re-roll all rolls of 6 to hit. This has no effect if the vehicle is hit automatically.
Weapons:
Earthshaker Gun D-25-T: Range: 120" Str: 9 AP: 3 Ordnance 1, large Blast, Heavy Breakthrough Gun
Heavy Breakthrough Gun: The shells of the Earthshaker cannon fired over open sights are so massive that they make of mockery of all but the heaviest cover.
Models hit by the Earthshaker Gun D-25-T must subtract one from their cover save value.
I've had keeping this in a secret, planning and polishing so it doesn't feel like a cheesy unit - I'm struggling with balance and being careful about making new rules.
I've been wondering why there's no direct fire missile tank on a Rhino chassis. I've yet to see one, so I desired to design one myself. Let's just hope it's consistent and fits to the universe/tabletop.
Gentlemen! I give you: Viper pattern Predator!
Viper missile launcher: Before the destruction of the forgeworld Marath Primaris in early M37, the chapter’s techmarines managed to recover fragments of data related to a multiple missile launcher STC, similar to those found atop of the Land Speeder Typhoon. During the first days of the Galileian Crusade, the STC manifested in a form of a Predator pattern named after the STC description, capable of direct fire support against infantry and armoured targets alike.

One thing that's always confused me about the IG is that they don't have a spotter for the artillery...I mean, I think it would be helpful in avoiding waste of ammo when you have someone accurately calling down a bombardment. SO! Here it is!

I must say I like this. It improves artillery units by a modest degree for its point cost. I would have said that Basilisk + ignoring cover would be a bit OP, but then mounted on a rather fragile vehicle means that any sensible player could target these units. This is the kind of thing I would bring occasionally if I had an artillery-heavy list, and the best part is that you would never use this as your go-to Spam & Cheese Special.
What about Flakk missiles? I can understand their exclusion, since GW seems to be more inclined to build new AA units than integrate AA abilities into existing units (or weapons), but maybe giving them an option to fire Flakk missiles at a cost would work.
I know that, from a personal standpoint I'd support paying 20-25 points more to have an AV13 platform that fires 3 Flakk Missiles, while also being fairly useful against armor and blobs. Also, what about missile or LC sponsons. Multi-melta sponsons seem to exist sort of counter to the idea that you want this far away as missile support.
In general though, I like it. I'd definitely look to take one with the Iron Hands CT, behind an Aegis line and with a techmarine nearby. A lot of firepower and fairly hard to pop if positioned correctly, so as to have AV13 against your opponent most of the time.

Not exactly. Barrage generally ignores LOS-dependent cover, however, this is not always true.
Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

May upgrade with: Flyswatterz......10p Grot Riggers.....5p
Flyswatterz: These boyz are veterans in the anti-aircraft bussniess. All of them have downed more enemy "buzzerz" than they can count on their few still-remaining fingers. They count as BS3 when firing at Flyers and Skimmers.
Flakkakannon: This multi-barreld monstrosity is as loud as it is powerful. It chewes through enemy fighters and bombers with ease, as long as the boy operating it has wit enought to know how to aim it, and what to aim it at. It has a profile of: S8 AP3 R36 Heavy 4, Blast.
Airburst: Leave it to the local mek to make an anti-air cannon fire high-explosive rounds. The bullets detonate on impact or proximity to the targeted aircraft. These blasts can only hit the targeted flyer or skimmer, and they scatter only D6+D3. If the blast only hits partially, IE the hole on the marker is not over any part of the craft itself, the Strength is reduced by 2. This special rule only applies to the Flakkakannon.

Broly33 wrote: Ymmm. Barrage is already ignoring cover...
Not true. Like HappyJew said, Barrage ignores cover like, if it shoots over a ruin, they don't get a cover save. But if they are bikes, they still get their jink save, or the Tau's automatic cover save with that special piece of equipment. The Raptor would allow them to ignore all cover, which would be nice...

We already have Hunters/Stalkers, and I don't want to turn them useless. I share your sentiments about GW:s new policy to create new instead of upgrading the old ones - but we can do nothing about it right now. I prefer keeping the Viper as an all-rounder ground killer. Making the Flakk missiles an option would sound decent too, should the other people cry the needs of it. Maybe around +25pts to get 'em, eh?
DogofWar1 wrote: Also, what about missile or LC sponsons. Multi-melta sponsons seem to exist sort of counter to the idea that you want this far away as missile support.
You're right; their role is to work as an optional counter-measure for close-up encounters with something heavy.
Once again, I don't want to make other units useless with my new unit - even though the idea about the Lascannon sponsons sounds wonderful. The Destructor/Annihilator pattern Predators kind of already fulfill their roles with lascannons.

Thanks for your constructive critique. I'm looking forward to the day to finally test this thing with my mates :3
Not feeling especially creative at the moment, so all I have is a Land Raider variant (I also have another one, will submit later) and a couple of upgrades. Please forgive wrong point values for standard upgrades, I don't have the Codex with me. Please give feedback.

Special Rules:

Ferromantic Invulnerability - The Argo is not subject to the particular effects of the Lance, Haywire and Melta special rules. addition it reduces the effects of all rolls on the damage chart made against it (other than by Destroyer type weaponry), by -1
Misericord Stanchions - Ignores the Bulky special rule for transport purposes
Lumbering - May not Flat Out (can still move at cruising speed)
The Argo Pattern Land Raider design was excavated from amongst the ruins of Aureus Fornax by the Imperial Fists in M40, after its development in the final years of the Horus Heresy by one of the few remaining Salamanders Techpriests and the Archmagos of Fornax. The design was unique, utilising techniques long thought lost; ferromantic plating, gravitational stress beaming and intricate alchemical blending were all called upon to craft the finest armour possible. The hull superstructure was extended and strengthened, external buttressing was added to support the heavier armour, internal stanchions braced the frame to create more space inside. Lascannons were replaced with close assault weaponry, though the enhanced design was not without cost. The new machine still depended on the original power plant of the land raider, a no improved reactors could be found when the archmagos confirmed the design, limiting the top speed of the up-armoured behemoth. On the venerable design's discovery, after the dispersal of the origninal twenty warmachines from their sacred armoury-vaults, reproduction and spreading of the design proved slow; only chapters with access to pre-heresy forges or close ties to first class Forge Worlds can even think about even maintaining an Argo Pattern Land Raider
Battle Tomb - Grants the Zealot special rule to all friendly models within 6" 15pts
Occasionally the sarcophagi of mighty heros of the Chapter are interred aboard their favoured transports, to inspire their men to victory long after their passing
Indomitable Machine Spirit – Gains It Will Not Die, if it already has this rule (by being an Iron Hands vehicle, for example then it will regain Hull Points on a 5+ – 20pts
Some machine spirits are known to be extremely powerful, such as the legendary Rynn's Might of the Crimson Fists

Not actually thought about one but I think that the CSM's lake so much potential in the vehicles department, the Dark machanicus should be able to make far more than the machanicus, the DM has access to technology forbidden to the normal machanicus, and also, isn't that machanicus from the past, I mean there is some forgotten technologies which I would expect the dark machanicus to know since they were alive that long ago.
There is only one DA jetbike each moment of time. They obviously have the STC to replicate it but keep it to the Ravenwing commander exclusively

Upgrade: for command squads that are taken for sammael only. Ravenwing command squads may upgrade all models to jet bikes for 35pts/model and confers +1W and the special rule: ravenwing black guard.
Wargear: jet bike is fitted with a twin linked storm bolter. One model may take a heavy flamer or ravenwing grenade launcher for free or a plasma cannon for 30pts.
Ravenwing black guard: as black knights proven to be of such martial prowess the master of the ravenwing has granted them their own jet bikes and to his own personal guard among hunting parties. Models with this rule add +1 to their WS and I.
Is this op? Base cost is 75 points per model

It'd actually just be similar to an Exorcist, though one that consistently rolls well. Priced fairly I think a Typhoon ML via sponsons wouldn't be too broken, especially if it's not splitting fire. A Predator Annihilator does something similar in terms of firepower, so if it's cost is close to that it probably wouldn't be over the top. Maybe 10-15 pts more once ML sponsons are included.
I'm disappointed that there's no missile launcher sponson option.
That'd make it broken
You're not thinking in terms of Macross! We must never rest until we can out missile spam the Tau!
(And two extra missiles wouldn't really be that bad).

To be fair, every new vehicle for the Imperium would likely be against canon, considering how hard it is to get a new design approved by the mechanicus. Things like Baal Preds get away with it, but if some 10th founding chapter just showed up with a brand new tank one day they'd probably get in serious trouble, despite how silly that is.
Heck, Centurions were completely non-canon up until about a month ago.
You could probably handwave it as "The DA decided to make more in order to better fight against the 13th Black Crusade" or something to that effect. How you could justify them having them against Tyranids, I dunno, but stuff on the tabletop gets handwaved all the time.
Well it's TOTALLY against canon: Samael's jetbike is clearly stated as the last known Imperium's jetbike (Custodes still have their jetbikes, but they are just too secret)
On the other hand, remember, that even canon can be retconned (damn you, spiritual liege). Just you wait when/if they make the supplement codex for the White Scars, 'cause I have an itch about Khan jetbikes.
It'd actually just be similar to an Exorcist, though one that consistently rolls well. Priced fairly I think a Typhoon ML via sponsons wouldn't be too broken, especially if it's not splitting fire.

Even though the missile sponsons wouldn't make it OP, it'd still be an absurd gunline of rape, that'd make both Devastators and Land Speeder Typhoons outright useless.
Imagine that machine spewing 5 AP2 missiles PER TURN!
I need to consider this - but it still feels like "YO DAWG..."
