The most important rule: Don’t be a weenie. You are here to have fun, not sit and argue for 2 hours.
Dice: the game uses them, and possibly a d6 scatter dice. I haven’t decided on that yet
Templates: Deciding if they should be added as well.
Models: Models are the individual playing pieces within your collection, and are classified as follows.
Small: like grots
Medium: Your standard human sized targets.
Large: Bigger much bulkier targets like broadsides
Very large: Monsters creatures and walkers
Vehicles: Follow special rules
Bases: Use the ones provided or of the same size and type of the current rendition.
Alternative bases and assumed height: any models that are on scenic tall bases or are modeled prone and low should be considered the same height as a similar type. This will affect LOS both ways. (IG Heavy weapon teams are to be considered 28mm tall.)
Measurements: When measuring distances it is always from the base at the point that touches the ground.
Models without bases or flight stands are always measured from the physical model.
Line of Sight: LOS is determined by tracing from the eyes or what would be the eyes of a model, traced to any part of another models body. This does not include war gear like weapons or banners, but DOES include jet packs, mounts, and bikes of any type.
Units: Units consist of any number of models as listed in there unit profile.
Unit coherency: Every model within a unit must be at least 2” of one other model within the same unit.
Characteristic: Listed for each model under the models profile.
Characteristics test: To pass you must roll equal to or less than then the specified stat after modifications unless otherwise stated.
Mixed Stats: use majority.
Auto pass/fail: Think they should be allowed?
Leadership: Tested on 2d6. Double 1s are always passed.
Modifiers: the order of operations for any modifiers is as follows. Base > Base set > Multiply/divide > Add/subtract > Set.

PRIMARY ACTIONS:

Move: Mostly as per rule book. To be worked on
Shooting: Mostly as per rule book. To be worked on
To wound is still majority, wound allocation is done by the opponent; precision shots are by the shooter.
Assault: Must be worked on heavily

SECONDARY ACTIONS:
Run: D6 move with no modifiers
Overwatch: Increase BS by 1 but may not voluntarily move or assault until there next activation
Suppression: may not move or assault voluntarily until there next activation but nominates a unit within LOS to reduce there speed by 1/3?.

REACTIONS: During an opponents activation and after they had declared a primary or secondary action you may perform a reaction. The opponent must still perform that action though may pick a different target?

Snap Shot: On an initiative test, may make an out of turn shooting attack at base set bs1.
Go to Ground: On an initiative test, reduces any shooting attacks at this unit by 1 if passed. The unit may not voluntarily move or assault until there next activation.
Fall Back: On a Leader ship test, the unit the unit may move up to double speed straight back towards there deployment zone table edge if passed. If failed, the unit flees at the full double speed with no modifiers towards there deployment zone, and must make a leadership test at the beginning of there next activation if that failed they continue to flee at double speed.

A player with additional units after an opponent has activated all of there units must finish activating them one at a time.
After both players have finished activating all of there units, it is the next game turn and the player who went second goes first.

Ranged Weapons:
The range listed in the current book is the effective range and suffer no penalties. However shots may be fired and allocated up to twice the effective range at a Base set bs of 1
Rapid fire: Fires twice at half range.
Assault: If this is the only weapon fired, the unit may make an additional non shooting primary action.
Heavy: If fired normally but if a model has moved, the effective range is halved.
Pistol: as per assault types, but gives an a +1 to attack in CC. OR may be shot in CC as a regular shooting attack.
Salvo: Changed to heavy type.
Sniper: +1 precision strike, wounds on 4+ rending.
Grenades: Mostly the same. Any model with one may toss it now. Not just 1.
Specialist weapons: Moving Melta bomb type weapons here.
Melee: Needs to be worked on.

Support weapons: may be fired first before the rest of the shooting attacks for applied bonuses. (aka marker lights, scatter laser)

Support gear: non wounding wargear like asupex and vox casters

More to come.

Infantry: no real benefit. Base move is 6”
Jump: Doubles the models base movement not effected by terrain. But takes a DT if landing in or leaving a piece of terrain
Bike: Doubles the models base movement. Increases T by 1 and is affected by terrain.
More to be added and balanced like MC and walkers (walkers are no longer vehicles)
Vehicles: mostly same as book for now to be worked on.

Special rules:
To be worked on but mostly unchanged like fearless.

Open ground: confers no positive or negative modifiers bs modifier
Soft terrain: Terrain that often makes it hard to take a clean shot but otherwise wouldn’t provide protection such as hedges, Trees, grass and camo netting. Confers a -1 BS modifier when shot into or through it.
Hard terrain: Terrain that would also grant protection such as rocks, concrete and metal. In addition to the -1 BS the target gains a +1 to Toughness. This does not modify the instant death threshold.
Fortification: Terrain that is designed for heavy punishment. As above but with an additional +1 Toughness.
Area Terrain: Abstract pieces that can be used to represent terrain such as tall grass patches, or a rocky outcrop or the base of a larger terrain piece like the ground and levels of a ruin or forest. It confers any modifiers that the terrain represents to a model that is wholly within its boundaries.

Common types of terrain:
Ruins: Hard terrain. -1/3 movement speed.
Forest: Soft terrain. -1/6 movement speed
River: open terrain. -1/6 movement speed
Roads: open terrain. +1/6 movement speed
Tank traps: Hard terrain. Impassible Vehicles.

Height and levels: The height and level from one model to another is important. Every 3” from floor to floor is a level.

Precession shots, having a vantage point higher up gives you better shooting opportunities; shots made from models higher up against units below gain a +1 to there precession shots for each level. (regular grunts on a 6 will precision strike. A character on a 5, a sniper on a 4+

Shooting or Assaulting buildings and ruins. You can target unoccupied buildings and ruins. Mostly like the current building chart but to be modified heavily. Wrecking a building changes it to a ruin with no floor or top access (as its become too unstable) wrecked ruins remain as is with the upper levels being impassable.

Lists: Arrange with your opponent the points and additional rules you want to follow.
Missions: for now only 3 types
Capture points.: current emparas will.
Kill points: Hur dur kill points (Dedicated transport do not count)
Relic: relic as per current relic

DZ: only two types
Long or short ways with no diagnals.

Terrain set up: Work it out

Fortification: Bought equipment may be placed AFTER terrain.

Objectives. Should be 1-2” In diameter, are impassable (including to skimmers) and follow current book rules. No mysterious stuff.
Placed after fortification.

Secondary VP.
No first blood
Warlord is in
Line breaker is in

Deployment.
Reserves are in. on a 3+ as per book. They may be activated as though they where on the field but must use the move action to get on the board.
Deepstrike and outflank to be worked on.
