Instead of the classic whirl wind load out, the chaos version is a rhino with 2 top hatch havoc missile launchers, 2 optional side sponson havoc missile launchers, and the top hatch can have 2 more havoc missile launchers. (35+12+12+?+?)

Hell call it the Diablo! or El Nino

Any way CSM can get sky fire missiles on a predator or rhino?

Gretchin Squigboyz.

Gretchin Squigboy: WS2 BS3 S2 T2 W1 A1 I2 LD5 SV- Cavalry
Gretchin Squigboy In A Fancier Hat: WS2 BS3 S2 T2 W1 A1 I2 LD5 SV6+ Character Cavalry
Squigboy Malbo: WS2 BS3 S2 T2 W1 A2 I2 LD6 SV6+ Character Cavalry

Unit Composition:

35 pts
4 Gretchin Squigboyz
Gretchin Squigboy In A Fancier Hat

Can add up to 10 Gretchin Squigboyz for 6 ppm
Can upgrade Gretchin Squigboy In A Fancier Hat to Squigboy Malbo for 10 pts. One per army.

Equipmen:
Gretchin Squigboy, Gretchin Squigboy In Fancier Hat, Squigboy Malbo:
2 Squigboy Blastaz - s3, ap-, Assault 1, 12", Pistol
Lasso - s3, ap-, Assault 1, 12", Strikedown

Gretchin Squigboy In Fancier Hat and Squigboy Malbo:
Fancier Hat - Grants 6+ armor

Squigboy Malbo:
Red Smokey Mushrooms - Squigboy Malbo carries legendary Red Smokey Mushrooms also known as "Squigboy killaz" in his backpocket. At the start of every turn, he may choose to smoke one of the mushrooms. Note, that he can't choose NOT to smoke them even though he thinks he can and boasts he'd stop any moment if he wanted. Whenever squigboy Malbo is smoking his "Squigboy killaz", he starts looking so manly that his squad can reroll failed LD checks. Furthermore, the smoke is so thick, he gains Stealth. However, Squigboy Malbo must roll d6 every turn after the first and on a roll of 1 he starts coughing badly, falls of the squig and is removed from play as a casualty. Cause smoking Red Smokey Mushrooms is harmful, kids!

Special rules:
Blastaz Blazing - Squigboyz never ever leave their Squigboy Blastaz (otherwise, they'd emidiately get stolen by other grots) and have become pretty decent with them! In close combat, half the strikes rounded up are resolved with one Grot Blasta profile and the second half with...another.

Name: KrakenBacks for chaos space marines

unit description and depiction: it is a rhino/predator

The 2 port holes on top haves 1 missile Launcher each 15ppm . The top door hatch houses 2 twinlinked missile launchers 30ppm. or just take 4 ml for 65pts. the side doors have option for sponsons missile launchers 15ppm. the kraken back can has upgrade to give all missiles sky fire rule for 20pts. can upgrade rhino front av 12 to predator av13 for 10ppm.

is this on par with razor back?

a squad of havocs with 4 ml and skyfire = 175pts and die to small arms fire with 5 wounds and often retreat when shot at.
What the krakenbacks does is deliver skyfire missiles on a predator platform.

alternative: a razorback variant for chaos space marines but with reaper auto cannons on top for 15pts? why the hell is rac 25 for termi? or have option for a hades ac.

now you can take 5 plague marine with 2 spec guns, load them into a reaperback (troop carry cap 6) and go around delivering msu plague marines while snap shooting 2 tl str7 ap4 shots at 36".

if you can take a quad gun for 50ppm, would you take it on a rhino? or a hades ac? but how many points?

I've got another one! Yay!

Oh right, thanks.

Honestly, I would probably just create army-specific variants of ye olde Vehicle Design Rules (Here is a chassis, you can do "blank" with it). For each army, categorize weapons as defensive vs primary, etc. I like "customizable" units that engender "your dudes" mentality.

Rather than "Heldrake", "Defiler", etc, you would have "Daemontech Vessel" representing the assorted Heretekal aircraft that have been made (From Helltalons to Doomwings), and "Daemontech Engines."

Rather than Orks having Looted Wagons, they should have access to a list of "Looted Gubbinz" they could put on their vehicles, each *powerful* for cost but with Skaven-like drawbacks. For example, mounting a discount Punisher Cannon on a Battlewagon (say, 10 points), but if it rolls more 1s than hits, it randomly hits another unit within 6" of the target. Being able to move as a Skimmer (or Jump, if a Walker) for a turn, but taking a dangerous terrain test at the beginning of the turn, with no Deffrolla/Ram reroll.

Chapter Squires Squad

The very best serfs can follow their Masters in combat to provide them with support during critical engagements. They bear the title of Squire and are amongst some of the best human troops availabe. Most of them could have been Space Marines, but failed their final tests, proved to be incapable of accepting the Geneseed or were of the wrong sex. They are well equipped by the Chapter's armory and train alongside their Masters making them fearsome soldiers. They see most of their combats during boarding actions or when the Chapter doesn't have the support of the Imperial Guard or competent PDF.

Squire: WS: 4, BS: 4, S: 3, T: 3, W: 1, I: 3, A: 1, Ld: 7, Sv: 4+, Pts: 8
Champion: WS: 4, BS: 4, S: 3, T: 3, W: 1, I: 4, A: 2, Ld: 8, Sv: 4+
equipment: carapace armor, lasgun, laspistol, close combat weapon (Champion only) frag and krak grenade

Special rule: Inspired by their liege, Character (Champion only)

Inspired by their liege: All unit of Squires within 6'' of a unit of Space Marines with more than 50% of its starting numbers gain the special rule And They Shall Know No Fear.

Unit composition: 5 to 10

Option:

A Squire can be upgraded to a Champion for 5 pts

A Champion can replace his laspistol for a bolt pistol for 2 pts

A Champion can replace his close combat weapon for a Power weapon for 10 pts

All squires can take an extra close combat weapon for 1 pts

For very 5 squire in the squad, one of them can change his lasgun for one of the following: boltgun (2 pts), Storm Bolter (5pts), Sniper (5pts), Heavy Bolter (15 pts), Lascanon (25 pts).

Can take a Rhino or a Drop Pod has a dedicated transport.

Written in 5th edition format, because I play 5th edition.
Slimefart Gitsmaka's battlewagon......245pts

Unit composition: 1 (unique) Unit type: Tank Transport Capacity: 12

Armour: F 15 S 13 R 11

Wargear: Killkannon, 'ard case, deff rolla, red (and orange) paint job, grot riggers, stikkbomb chukka, armour plates, grabbin klaw, kannon, 4 big shootas

Special rules: Red and orange wunz go EVEN FASTA!!!!!!!, Instant death, power of Gork and Mork.

Red and orange wunz go EVEN FASTA!!!!!! Because the battlewagon is painted bright colors, it gets two extra movement units in The Movement phase, so that means it can move 8 inches rather than 6.

Instant Death: When the battlewagon Tank Shocks a unit, the unit suffers instant death, because of the deff rolla.

Power of Gork and Mork: When Slime's first battlewagon was destroyed when a power fist hit it, he began to go insane. When his meks (and attack squig) saw this, they realized they had to act quickly and build a better battlewagon. They gave it the same upgrades, but just before it went into its first battle, Big Mek Laru infused the hull with electricity said to be directly from Gork and Mork. The battlewagon survived. All vehicles within 48" of the battlewagon take glancing hits only, unless a weapon attacking the battlewagon (not the other vehicles) rolls a 6 on to-hit rolls. A 6 means a penetrating hit on the battlewagon. If the battlewagon takes a penetrating hit, vehicles can take both glancing and penetrating hits.

Options:
May replace kannon with zzap gun for 5 points
May replace big shootas with rokkit launchas for 5 points per weapon.
May take a lobba for 15 points

Dude, that is sooooo underpriced. Instant death on all weapons? Upgrades Orks can't take? A ridiculous name?
