The thing about 40k is that no one person can grasp the fullness of it.
After Abaddon Yet again fails his crusade. The forces of chaos suffer near total loss and have to flee yet again into the eye of terror.
Abaddon, Lucius, Kharn, Ahriman, Typhus, Fabius Bile are KIA after being led by Failbaddon. Huron was the only one to slip away.
Black legion Chosen, Emperors Children Noise Marines, Khorne Beserkers, and Plague Marines are all KIA. Only cultists, havocs, raptors and the regular marines are left. Worst off is that they no longer have bolters, bolt pistols, frag and krak grenades in ready supply. Their power armor are in short supply. The standard chaos marine now only has access to scout armor +4, light stubber (24" s3 ap6 salvo 3/4), shotgun pistols (12" s3 ap6 assault 3). Price of marines heavily reduced. Frag and krak grenades can be purchased. Bolters and bolt pistol can be purchased. +3 armor can be purchased. Havoc=hvy spt, raptors = fast a, marines and cultists as troops.
They have no bikes...now they require daemon mounts at high prices. Marines, but not havocs, or raptors with MoK can ride juggernauts. Tzeentch marines can ride discs, MoS can ride steeds of Slaanesh. MoN can ride beasts of nurgles or plague drones. Fast slot.
Possessed Marines are just unreasonable, unreliable, and un tamed. Just delete them.
All land raiders, predator, Vindicator, rhinos gone. Only the daemon engines that can be forged are available in limited supply. Price hike of, heldrake, forge fiend, mauler fiend, defiler is to be expected. Instead of rhinos, They loot ork trucks looted from Imperium! Instead of landraider, they loot it from ork battle wagons. Or they comandeer chimera and leman russ battle tanks. Small daemon engines prowling the battle fields in squadrons are the new desperate development as larger daemon engines are too costly. Squadrons of smaller fiends carrying a single hades autocannon or ectoplasma cannons or maulers hunt in packs. Heavy slot
Massive Helbrutes replaced by smaller walkers called extirpators are a mix between, terminators, obliterators, mutilators, and light walkers such as AM sentinels. Instead of binding a dying marine into an iron sarcophagus, it was cheaper and easier to invite a daemon symbiote, infect with techno virus, and put into a sentinels. The end result was a more stable yet schizophrenic fighter. both arm can morph into any mutilator weapon. The hull can carry a single obliterator weapon.
Secondary idea of extirpators, they are like terminators with an obliterators right arm, mutilators left arm, have armor 3+/6++
single wound models that cost more than terminator. Can be marked and start as 3 man team and grow to 10 man team. Elite slot.

Guardian Shells
Backstory
Spoiler:
Those Guardians sent on missions to Crone Worlds know the risks of plunging into the domains of the Ruinous Powers- especially the risk to their very souls from She Who Thirsts. But some never return from their expedition, either dying in battle or suffering a far worse fate.
Put simply, any Guardian who lives yet does not return from the Crone World eventually falls- offering up their souls to the other three ruinous powers to protect them from the terrible pain that would await them otherwise. Now merely shells animated by unholy power, the newborn Guardian Shell strikes to serve their chosen patrons.
Generally, a group of Guardian Shells is led by a Shell Champion, who has earned their chosen god's favor- and has the mutations to match. These wretched creatures have all but lost the last vestiges of their souls- and are all too willing to please their patrons.

So basically it's a Sororitas version of the Land Speeder Storm? That's neat, though some may howl that antigravity tech is so rare only Astartes should have it. (The fluff's a bit inconsistent).
Questions:
1) how does a 1D3 shot flamer work? I don't think there are any rules for a template weapon that fires more than once.
2) why the super-low armor values? I don't think any vehicle in the game has an AV less than 10.
3) as a Sororitas vehicle, it should probably have Shield of Faith.

1.) There is the Frag Cannon, a Assault 2 template weapon. Considering how hilariously broken that weapon is, plain-Jane Assault 1is a better idea.
2.) I'd intended it to be a "line breaker" transport- so, yeah, the AV is cardboard. That is a bad idea to have less than AV10 though.
3.) Alrighty.

A newly emerging site in many Imperial Guard regiments is the Skyhunter Squad. Common amongst units which favour drop assaults and aerial insertion, the Skyhunters use a modified form of thruster pack to navigate the battlefield much quicker than standard foot units. The technology itself is rather dated, as the packs do not allow typical flight, instead the unit hovers a few feet above ground, but this is sufficient to avoid terrain which would slow down other units.
The origins of such a unit arose from the technology used by Imperial Navy maintenance crews, the thruster packs allowing them to navigate zero-gravity to perform repairs and maintenance on the outer hull of the various battleships within the Navy. While the Navy used supplementary oxygen and pressure apparatus for such a task, this has been discarded to save weight, with the standard thruster packs and navigation equipment seen in various regiments, particularly for scout and pathfinder duties. Some units are often see with modified combat shotguns adapted from Imperial Navy boarding squads, the shells fitted with incendiary "razorglass" shards to maximise damage while still keeping mobile.

Though the Tau have no love (or aptitude) for close combat and the Kroot make a effective unit for that role, some tasks require a measure of subtlety when it comes to the harrowing conditions of close quarters engagements. Thus, particularly competent Gue'vasa are given both extra training and armament for that exact purpose- moving alongside Tau Pathfinders as a vanguard.
The weapons of a Special Task Cadre are many-fold, with Pulse Rifles being the standard weapon of choice for most. However, specialized members with the proper training may choose to field other weapons in order to provide close-in-support.
Unit Type Infantry. Gue'vesa'ui is Infantry (Character).

Wargear -Tau Flak Armor
Based upon the Flak Armor once worn by their ancestors within the Imperial Guard, the Gue'vasa Auxiliaries's primary armor is designed to allow the wearer both great freedom of movement and the ability to withstand shots from weapons roughly equivalent to a Imperial Lasgun.
Tau Flak Armor confers a 4+ Armor save.

-Any model may exchange his Pulse Rifle for a Pulse Carbine, 2 pts.
-A Gue'vesa'ui may take up to two Drones from the Drones list.
-A Gue'vesa'ui may replace his Pulse Rifle with 2 Pulse Pistols, 10 pts.
-For every 5 models in the squad, one model may replace his Pulse Rifle with the following:
- Tau Sluggun, 5 pts.
Based upon crude human projectile weapons that use the energy of a fixed shell to propel a solid projectile, the Sluggun is meant for mid to close-range engagements with both it's high stopping power and efficacy against unarmored foes. More often than not found in the hands of Gue'vasa'la who struggle to requisition the proper equipment because of the dangers of shipping to the frontier, the Sluggun remains a go-to choice for them.
Range 10'' AP 3 S 4 Assault 1, Concussive
-A Gue'vasa Special Task Cadre may take a Devilfish as a Dedicated Transport.

The Adeptus Mechanicus knows well the value of carefully applied and carefully placed heavy firepower- Whether in the form of their gigantic Titan god-machines, their massive Ordinatus siege weapons, or their fanatical Secutors. And in the Skitarii legions, the need for heavy support is met by the Sagitarii- silent bringers of death from afar. These hulking cyborgs are specifically designed to provide close support.
The Sagitarii move alongside their compatriots, bringing the skies down on their foes with the weapons integrated into their cybernetic bodies. Fields of fire, range and aim correction are all calculated by their Magos masters- leaving the Sagitarii free to fire at will.

Unit Composition 2 Sagitarii 1 Sagitarii Alpha
Special Rules -Bulky -Feel No Pain (4+) -Doctrina Imperatives -Slow and Purposeful
Wargear -Sagitarii Meldplate
Far heavier than the War Plate worn by their brethren, Sagitarii are covered from head to toe in both subdermal and superdermal layers of ceramite plating thick enough to outright ignore the harmful rad-auras of their weaponry.
Sagitarii Meld Plate confers a 3+ Armour Save.
-Galvanic Lancers
Built for spewing precisely directed streams of galvanic servitor-bullets, a Galvanic Lancer is often incorporated into the cybernetics of it's wielder because of the immense weight and recoil on it's part. In the heat of battle, it's projectiles turn the battlefield into a killing field, turning entire units into blasts of lethal electric force.
Range 35" S 4 AP 4 Heavy 2, Precision Shots, Galvanisis
Galvanisis:
The effects of a Galvanic weapon are terrifying to gaze upon, the impact of a Servitor-Bullet turning it's victim into nothing more than a electric storm of killing force. This storm is powered by the nervous system of those it emerges from, and is capable of leaping from person to person.
This deadly effect is delivered by a package guided to the target by the Magos above, who ensures the bullet hits- regardless of whether the Sagitarii firing the weapon can see the Magos's target or not.
A weapon with the Galvanisis special rule can fire at targets out of it's line of sight.

-Sagitarii may replace their Galvanic Lancers with the following:
-Arc Cannon, 30 pts each.
While short-ranged due to the equipment required to modulate the sheer amount of power generated by the large permacapacitors used by such a heavy weapon, the Arc Cannons offer fire power like nothing else- frying both flesh and metal alike in a single shot.
Range 12" S 6 AP 5 Salvo 2/3, Haywire
-Heavy Phosphor Blaster, 25 pts each.

Double post, but I've been working with the vehicle design rules.
Kroot Forest-Runner- Fast Attack, 80 pts
The Kroot disdain advanced technology- it makes those who possess it weak and complacent, and even worse, prideful to a fault. Thus, the Shapers restrict the use of such technology as they see fit- with some being more radical than others. Over time, these radical views have disseminated into the general populace- making the Forest Runner a more and more common sight for the Tau.
The Forest Runner is a up-armored simple four wheeled ground vehicle, crewed by two tribesmen. It mounts only a single semi-automatic high caliber gun. In battle, the Forest Runner is used for lightning strikes on enemy infantry and high-value targets, appearing out of nowhere with it's gun blazing- only to disappear into the shadows of the forest moments later...
Unit Type Vehicle

"Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the 'noble savage'. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we'd overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn't the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!" —Jago Sevatarion

Whoa, bullets that fire out of line of sight and cause their targets to explode into lightning? Awesome, if possibly over the top. However you arguably need both Ignores Cover and Soul Blaze (or equivalent) to represent the gloriously crazy fluff you've written.

I have been tinkering with an idea for a massive land battleship. Essentially a collosal Tank version of an Emperor Class Titan. But with More Dakka of course.
I have been modeling the gun layout and sheer number of weapons off of Battleships of every era. From the Pre-Dreadnought side guns (almost like Sponsons), to modern VLMS launchers and huge double barreled main battery turrets.
I've been calling it the God Hammer Class, Land Cruiser and the example of which I am going to build (I have the chassis all set) shall be named the "Thunder Child" after the ship of the same name that fought against the Xenos in War of the Worlds.
It would of course have things like Reactor Meltdown and other special rules. Not to mention a massive price tag in points for balance.

Mass-produced by Meks for Gretchin use, a Big Gun is a wheeled field gun chassis capable of mounting a variety of weaponry. In battle, a Big Gun will typically be used to support the advances of a Boyz Mob into the thick of 'da fighting, tearing enemy fortifications to ribbons with a single shot. Unlike their larger cousin Mek Gunz, Big Gunz are less prone to backfiring and are constructed for ease of use by the Gretchin.
Often those manning the Big Gunz will be less than willing, as the prospect of manning a Big Gun implies that the Grot had the gall to disobey an order.

Current version of the God Hammer. Still tweaking big time.
God Hammer Class, Land Cruiser.
"Thunder Child"
"Thunder Child" is one of only a handful of its kind. A massive machine on treads that evokes the image of a mighty Imperial Navy voidship that has descended from the heavens and sprouted colossal tank treads. The God Hammer Class, Land Cruiser is said to be the tracked counterpart to the Titans. A God Machine in its own right. The Thunder Child gains its name from an ancient pre-Dark Age Terran ocean borne ship that fought against invading Xenos and sacrificed itself to save a convoy of civilian ships from the attack. taking many a number of Xenos machines with it. This Thunder Child has many a time proven its name and fought to defend the Imperium from attack. Charging headlong against heretical Titan legions or Xenos war engines, firing earth shattering salvoes into the foe The gun duels between the Thunder Child and an Enemy War Engine are stuff of legend, massive mechanical God machines trading blows of unimaginable fury and power that would obliterate anything less outright.
Points Cost: Current estimates. Over 6000+ or more. Type: Tank, Super Heavy, Transport
Transport capacity: 3 Tanks, or 6 vehicles or 100 troops). The Access points is are a Door on the rear and 2 rear ward side doors. .
Allies units can move to the Skyshield Pad. There is a heavy lift. Units on the Skyshield do not count towards transport capacity.
Special Rules:
Ultra Heavy Prow: The God Hammer Class has a massive and extremely thick armored prow like the ships of the Imperial Navy. Its many layers of armor and internal shielding are strong enough to turn away even the mightiest of weapons and allow the God Hammer to crush everything infront of it. 2+ invul save to frontal attacks. Immune to Dangerous Terrain Tests. flattens terrain (removes it, reducing it to rubble)
Reactor Meltdown: When an apocalyptic explosion is rolled if the machine is destroyed. Roll 8 D6 for blast radius as both reactors go critical! Anything in the blast is hit with a ST D Ap2 attack.
Skyshield Landing Pad: The God Hammer Class carries a Skyshield Landing pad on its back, acting as a mobile landing pad for air units. May start battle transporting 1 Flyer or 3 Vehicles. Not terrain. only allied units can stand on the pad. (they can still be shot off the pad, as they are exposed)
Elevation: The main battery of the God Hammer cannot depress its barrels very low. The Main battery cannot fire within 36 inchs of the machine.
Experimental rule (i.e Im not 100% on including it. I might keep it or throw it out):
Unimaginable Weight: The God Hammer is matched only by Titans in sheer mass. The God Hammer does not make ramming attacks (or thunderblitz). Instead any unit, friend or foe it hits while moving roll a D6 per unit. On a 1 the unit escapes with no damage. 2-4 St 10 Ap 2 hits per unit (against vehicles, against rear armor). On a 5, D3 ST D Ap 2 hits against each unit. On a 6, the unit is utterly crushed under the treads of the God Hammer. Remove from play. Super heavies/Gargantuan creatures get D6St D Ap2 hits on a roll of 6. This can affect both friend and foe. So move out of the way!!
Full Armament:
3- Main Battery. Triple Barrel Vengeance Cannon Battery: Heavy 8, ST D Ap 2 7 inch blast. 360 inch range. (36 inch minimum). 2 mounted fore, 1 aft. Primary Weapon. 1-Short Barreled Hellstorm Cannon: ST 9 AP 3, Heavy 8 large blast. 48 inchs. Mounted centrally in Prow. Primary Weapon. 2- Hell Hammer Siege Cannon (mounted frontally in the Prow) 8- (4 per side) Broadside Macro Cannons: ST 10 Ap 2, Ordinance 1. Large Blast 8- Vulcan Megabolter. (3 per side, 1 mounted low frontally in the prow, 1 mounted on the rear.) 12- Hydra Auto Cannon turret (spread over the machine.) 8- Icarus Quad Lascannon turrets (flanking the bridge) 4- Praetor VLS (Vertical Launch System) . Uses Praetor Launcher Missiles. The God Hammers vast ammo storage and complex loading mechanisms allow for any kind of Praetor missile to be fired from the VLS. (flanking the Skyshield) 4- Duel barreled Quake Cannon turret. (TL Quake Cannon turrets). (4 corners of the machine)
incomplete, (and crude) previous designs
Spoiler:
Originally It was going to be a bigger beefier version of the StormHammer baneblade. I found the Solar Auxila design... lacking... so I wanted more cannons and things, but I kept adding bigger and more dakka. Maybe Ill make that smaller design another time.

Built to navigate the dark labyrinthine tunnels of an Hive City's Underhive, the "Hive Tankette" is a crudely up-armored vehicle converted into a armored fighting vehicle by the gangs that lurk the Underhive- a instrument in the endless Gang Wars that plague almost all Hive Cities. Though the "armor" of any particular Tankette is made from whatever scraps of metal that may be at hand, they are surprisingly resistant to most small arms fire. In desperate situations, a PDF commander may call upon the gangs to do their part- and a slew of Hive Tankettes may follow to do battle.

~2800 points 
"Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the 'noble savage'. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we'd overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn't the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!" —Jago Sevatarion
