Exodite Dragon Knights- Fast Attack, 65 pts

Alongside the ranks of Exodite war-hosts, the noble Dragon Knights ride forth on their Megadon Dragons. Having followed them in their migration and developed a psychic bond with these massive reptilian beasts, they now ride them into battle in defense of their worlds- against the Imperials, against the powers of Chaos, and against even their own fallen kin.Together, they form a quaint but deadly part of the Exodite Worlds's defense forces.

Occasionally, an Outcast may join these brave warriors provided he has tamed a mount, providing crucial ranged support to the knights. His Long Rifle fires time after time, a pinpoint lance of shimmering light striking true each time it fires.

Unit Type
Outcast Skirmisher and Dragon Knights are Cavalry. Dragon Knight Signifer is Cavalry (Character).

Unit Composition
4 Dragon Knights
1 Dragon Knight Signifer

Wargear

-Mesh Armour

-Dragon Lance (Dragon Knights and Dragon Knight Signifer only)

Appearing to be merely a crude spear, the Dragon Lance is far, far more. Based upon the same technology as a Laser Lance, the Dragon Lance is built instead towards firing multiple short-range shots at a time. However, it can also be set to launch a far more powerful blast at point-blank range.

The Dragon Lance has two profiles: a normal one, and one used on the charge.

Type: 1 Character (Infantry, Unique)
Wargear:
- Sempiternal Weave (the old 2+ armour save)

- Dispersion Shield

Warlord Trait:

I would make the Dispersion Shield a Relic which the provides the rule you have given the Hyperphase Blade. Technically, the Sempiternal Weave would also be given that status.

Off hand, I would also drop him down to Lord stats and be able to replace a Lord slot on the Royal Court ala Obyron, as an Overlord would not likely be carrying a Shield like a basic Lychguard, but the Lord of the Lychguards would.

Scroll of Oaths

The oaths taken by a squad of Sword Brethren are no paltry matter, and often, at least one Brother will painstakingly inscribe the full texts of each upon a long scroll. Reminding them of their duty, this Scroll drives them to greater and greater heights, ignoring even the greatest of trials. This in turn inspires the other Battle-Brothers, resulting in a great boost to the force's overall morale.

Any friendly unit within 12'' a unit containing a model with a Scroll of Oaths may re-roll failed Morale and Fear tests. In addition, all models within the same radius with Chapter Tactics (Black Templars) gain the Furious Charge special rule.

-May take a Rhino, Razorback or Land Raider as a Dedicated Transport.

Eldar Wraith-somethings. I have yet to think of a name.

They are essentially a Wraithguard like unit on 25mm bases - being Guardian sized. The lore behind this being that they are simpler and easier to craft by less talented seers (Because my craft-world has relatively few seers) but then are less advanced and less capable.

Their profile is as follows:

WS: BS: S: T: W: I: A: Ld: Sv:
3 3 4 5 1 4 1 8 4+

They can take the following weapons:

Wraithcarbine:
Range: 12" Strength: 6 AP: 4 Assault 1
- this will be the stock weapon

Distortion :
Range: Template Strength: 5 AP: 4 Assault 1
- This is available as an upgrade for 5 ppm.

The unit starts as a group of five for 120pts
Able to take up to ten more for 24 ppm.
Able to take a Wave Serpent as dedicated transport.


I know nothing about point balancing and any input is greatly appreciated.

Here's my choices
Seer Guards (5 man squad for 16ppm)
Few eldar who set out to become farseer have the discipline and talent to do so, but some show enough control and mental prowess to become seer Guards. Sworn to defend their chosen farseer wherever they go these warriors wield mindfire weapons, wrought from pure phycic power the weapons take many forms but all prove deadly to any foe. With a farseer these warriors become implacable guardians cutting swathes through foes and ensuring the craftwords most valued assets are kept safe.
WS: 4 BS: 4 :S 3 T: 3 W: 1 :I 5 A: 1 LD: 9 SV: 4+
Wargear:

Runes of protection:
Confers a 5++ to the bearer

Special rules:
Guardians of the seer: while attached to a farseer this unit gains the fearless and adamantium will rules, furthermore the farsleer always passes look out sir rolls

May purchase a Champion ( has exarch stat line) for 10 points who exchanges his mindfire weapon with a mindsear blade (S+1 AP3), champions must accept and issue chalanges when able.

The entire squad may take jetbikes for 30 points

And

Land speeder repressor (130 points)

For the unforgiven chapters, especially the successors lacking the archaic wonders of the darkshroud, a reliable defensive system was needed for the ravenwing. Thus the land speeder repressor was created, utilizing the signature stasis systems of the ravenwing and disruptor technology some say stolen from the mechanics, the repressor ensures the fallen have no where to run as their doom approaches.

Looks rather poor for 525 points. Weapons aren't as good, the Ripperblade is just a renamed Reaper, and the stats increases aren't worth an additional >100pts.

They actually are. What this knight does is hunt other vehicles down at range and slices up anything that gets too close. It not only swings at the same time as a wraithknight, but hits on a 3+. It has fleet, so it can chase down other knights as they try to get away.

If you wanted a chaos knight that would outclass all the imperial versions in head to head combat, this is it. It should definitely be more expensive for that.

Ragnarok Battle Tank- 60 pts, Heavy Support

First built during the Battle of Armageddon when the supply of Leman Russes ran dangerously low, the Ragnarok is seemingly merely a massive slab of armor with treads at the bottom and weapons haphazardly thrown onto it. However, the Ragnarok is designed to be a reliable combat vehicle: consuming just the right amount of fuel for the distance it's expected to travel, eschewing overly specialized weapons for a balanced set of weaponry, and being able to travel thorough most terrain without difficulty.

Unit Type
Vehicle (Tank, Heavy)

Unit Composition
1 Ragnarok

Wargear
-Twin-linked Ragnarok Battle Cannon

Built on the principle that "quantity is quality", this cannon hurls 40mm shells at prodigious rates of fire- goring those unlucky enough to be in the open, shredding fortifications, and leaving lighter enemy vehicles in ruins.

Ragnarok Battle Tank- 70 pts, Heavy Support

Cool idea. The one major change I'd make is either up the armour (AV 11 hardly constitutes a "massive slab of armour!") or get rid of heavy, maybe even make it fast (light tank)

Yeah, as it stands the ragnarok would only be 55 points if the gun was twinlinked 36" range str5 ap4 heavy 5 blast. The armor can't go up too much because it isn't reasonable on a small vehicle.

Edit, didn't see the part where it shreds fortifications. So no blast, add armorbane should be around 60 points then...

Vanquisher should not be a free swap for an autocannon, one is a massive battle cannon, the other is usually a secondary weapon for tanks. Not to mention gaining strength, ap, range, armourbane. Its also a massively different type of gun for the tank

Updated to 10 pts for the swap. Considering that it's going to miss half the time because of BS 3, or 1/3 if you pay 10pts for BS4, I think that's a decent price.

My first few attempts at homebrewing, mostly with a Snakebite theme. The Steam Gargant profile is from an earlier edition which I modified extensively, mostly the Fist of Gork.
Approach with caution, because I'm an amateur at this.

Steam Gargant (770 points):
WS4 BS2 S10 F13 S13 B12 I2 A3 HP10
Super-Heavy Walker, Effigy, All Riled Up, Scrap Mountain

-Transport Capacity: 30 Models
-Fire Points: Six in the front hull
-Access Points: One in the rear
-Wargear: Supa-gatler, Mega Kannon, Fist of Gork, 3 Supa-skorchas, Mega-Choppa
-Options
*May take Grot Riggers for 30 pts

All Riled Up: Whenever a Steam Gargant destroys an enemy unit, it gains +1 attack for the rest of the game. If it kills an Independent Character, destroys another Super-Heavy, or kills a Gargantuan Monstrous Creature, it gains d3 attacks instead. Cannot go farther than 10 attacks.
Scrap Mountain: Confers a 5++ on the Steam Gargant

-Mega Kannon
Range 60" S8 AP2 Ordinance 1, Massive Blast
-Fist of Gork
In the core of almost every Steam Gargant, there lies a Weirdboy chained up and heating the boilers, essentially keeping the Gargant moving. With the massive carnage going on just outside those metal walls, however, the Weirdboy must spew the leftover energy through a massive cannon, lest he overheat the boiler and blow up the whole bloody thing. The psychic projectile that leaves the barrel often takes the form of a giant fist of Gork (maybe Mork), plowing right through whatever's in its way.

Range 42" SD AP1 Ordinance 1, Primary Weapon, Right in da Kissa'!
Right in da Kissa'!: If a Super-Heavy Vehicle receives a Penetrating Hit from this weapon, roll a d6. On a 3+ nothing happens. If a 1 or 2, the vehicle cannot move and all of its Ordinance and Heavy weapons can only fire Snap Shots until your next turn.
If it wounds a Gargantuan Monstrous Creature, it takes a -4 penalty to Weapon Skill and Initiative, and may only fire Snap Shots until your next turn. If the Gargantuan Monstrous Creature is Flying, it's next Grounding test has a -3 penalty, and it suffers from the above results.

*For each Katapolt you may add 3 additional Grot crew members for 3 pts/model

Buzz Squig Pots
Buzzer Squigs are one of the more dangerous species of squig. Like a pack of Terran piranhas, they attack their prey and strip the flesh off their bones in mere seconds... and that's why Snakebites love them. After starving them, they're stuffed into baked clay pots and hurled at the enemy via Katapolt. Once the pot shatters on the battlefield, the swarm is released and devours any unlucky gits nearby with ferocity that can only be matched by a Tyranid Ripper Swarm.

Range 32" S4 AP5 Blast, Shred, Blind, Pinning, Meaty Projectile, Right in the Noggin'!
Meaty Projectile: Any model that is hit by a weapon with this rule that is in Ruins, Buildings, or Fortifications receive +1 to their cover save, as this is not an explosive projectile (though we wish to Gork it was).
Right in the Noggin': Any model that is under of the template hole of the blast marker takes a S7 AP3 hit (along with the regular damage if it survives), due to being on the receiving end of the high-velocity pot hitting them square in the face.

Scar Grots- 45 pts, Troops

Certain Grots within the Goff Klan have a proclivity towards violence and sadistic torture that impresses even the Boyz, picking fights with one another and themselves. It is a tradition of these grots to scarify themselves with whatever is at hand, resulting in ugly infected scars Often, they will be taken under the wing of a specially trained Boy, who will both verbally abuse them and shower praise upon the angry little fella. This makes the Grot angrier, and allows the Boy to socialize them with others like them.

In battle, Scar Grots are deployed in the general direction of high value targets- being expected to bog them down with lots of strikes from their mini-Choppas. Their anger, however, does not prevent the Gretchin's natural tendency towards fear. A unit of Scar Grots will often retreat from their target mid-battle, soon to be mowed down.

10 Scar Grots

Great stuff. Though would I be correct in saying the Bombardier is significantly underpriced. I'm roughly comparing it to a Vindicator, and the superior armour values and heavy battle cannon seem like a lot of gain on the vindicator, points for points.

Same price as the old Medusa siege gun, I think, with more armor, more range and less strenght.

Its fine, I think, The Medusa was quite overpriced, so is the Vindicator.

Also, SPG but no Barrage?

I was actually basing it off Tank Hunters like the Jagdtiger/Jagdpanther, with the Demolisher style-variant being a Sturmtiger, but I see your point, I'll make a barrage weapon variant.

I used the Homebrew vehicle design rules that are floating around in this sub-forum, so I think it's pretty balanced. Although based off those rules, practically everything in the IG codex needs a point reduction, with a regular LRBT being around 125 pts(My own version with 4 HP and Lumbering Behemoth anyway). The Bombardier has a better gun, but in a fixed mount, no hull heavy Bolter, no Lumbering Behemoth, and worse side armor. I think it's decently costed, I actually expected more complaints from the Chem-Rockets upgrade on the Banshee. Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully there will be more to follow.

Grot Fanatics- Troops, 75 pts

Certain Klans brew a special drink from the spores of the fungus that every Ork derives from, and force certain Grots to imbibe it- turning them into rampaging psychopaths. On the battlefield, this drunken menagerie of Gretchin charges anything that moves- even their own allies, fighting it in a drunken stupor. However, this means that they require a handler- a specially trained Runtherd willing to deal with them.

Certain kunning warbosses make clever use of the fanatics, sending them charging into the enemy's flanks. The resulting carnage and confusion is something to witness.

This is one that I have just come up with, the Hades light scout Mech.

Although I have designed this one before coming up with the fluff (a first for me) it generally revolves around the idea of a light, fast moving Mech with a decent range of customisation for different operations.
Intended as a fast and light scout Mech the Hades lacks the heavier armour of other ,heavier, frontline Mechs but makes up for this by being able to out manoeuvre them and keep its incredible pace going for an excessive amount of time without stopping. The Hades is also notable for packing a lot of firepower, allowing it to punch well above its weight and making it ideal for hit and run tactics and burst ambushes. Pilots should be wary though as it is all too easy to be lured into a running engagement by the belief that the sheer massive amounts of firepower that the hades can put out will allow them to emerge victorious. Whilst this may seem a good idea it is always a good idea to remember that the Hades mounts very little armour and thus is easily knocked out by other units, meaning that a protracted up front firefight will rarely go well for the small Mech.
Instead the Hades is best used to harass the enemy and avoid frontline fighting unless the they lack any heavier units or anti tank firepower.

Overpowered from the simple reason EVERY warhog will be upgraded to cab, and at that point you got 20 PPM T4W2Sv4 fast moving autocannons.
And that's before considering their special rules giving them ignore cover and the "shoot and turbo boost" power.

These are even better than scatterbikes.

Great idea for a unit. As boomwolf said probably need to limit the autocannons, etc, but really like the feel of them.

I think limiting them to two per unit would be a good balance.
