Codex: Imperial Guard
Leviathen class Battle Zepplein 150 pts
AV FA 13 SA 13 RA 13 BS 3 HP 5 Fast Zepplein
Wargear
-One turret mounted Autocannon
-Searchlight
-Standard Issue Shield Generator (5+ Invuln.)
-Vox
Special Rules
-Zepplein
-Command Vehicle
-High-Altitude Weapons Platform
Options
Any turret mounted Autocannon can be replaced with any of the following
-Missile Launcher free
-Assault Cannon 5 pts
-Lascannon 5 pts
- TL Autocannon 10 pts
-Punisher Gatling Cannon 10 pts
-Vanquisher Battle Cannon 10 pts
-Battle Cannon 10 pts
- TL Assault Cannon 15 pts
- TL Lascannon 15 pts
- TL Punisher Gatling Cannon 20 pts
You can have up to two extra turrets, each with one Autocannon, for 15 pts each. If a turret has a Lascannon, Assault Cannon, Autocannon, or TL version of that weapon, it can purcahse a duplicate at the same price.
The Leviathen can have a twenty man transport capacity for 20 pts.
The Leviathen can have a Dedicated Repair Crew (Grants IWND) for 20 pts.
The Leviathen can have Veterean Gunners ( BS 4) at 10 pts per turret.
The Leviathen can have up to eight forward mounted Hunter-Killer Missiles at 5pts per each.
Special Rules
Zepplein: A vehicle with this subtype is treated as a flyer, except that it possesses the movement speeds of a normal vehicle, or Fast if it is a fast zepplein, and that any weapon can hit it on it's normal BS, wether or not it possesses the Skyfire Quality. A Zepplein can fire any number of weapons each turn at full BS.
High-Altitude weapons platform: This unit cannot be targeted by a weapon with a range of 30" or less. Weapons mounted by Zeppleins and Flyers ignore this rule. Weapons mounted by this unit gain the Skyfire special rules.
Still needs some work, but please let me know if it's to OP/UP, and yes I know it is riduclous to have 40K zeppelins.
I actually love the design and the idea. I think that a zeppelin would fit the barbarous future tech of the 40K universe. I am currently preparing a new fandex for Lost and Damned. I made one a few months ago and I want to release it again with modification for 7th eddition play (and a few other I got from play testing it a little bit). I would like to use your concept of war zeppelin in it. I would credit you for the original concept of course. Do I have your permission?

Beluga Dropship for the Tau. Fast Attack Choice BS: 3 Front Armour: 11 Side Armour: 11 Rear Armour: 10 HP: 3 Transport Capacity: 12 models May not transport models with the Extremely Bulky Special Rule. Wargear: Twin Linked Smart Missile System 2 Burst Cannons 2 Seeker Missiles May upgrade its Burst Cannons to Smart Missile Systems at 10 points each. May take vehicle upgrades. Special Rules Hover Jet Pack Deployment Fire Support Jet Pack Deployment Jet Pack Infantry embarked in a transport with this special rule may embark and disembark whilst the vehicle is zooming. When disembarking in this way, one model from the unit is placed 6" from an access point on the flier as normal, however the unit may then scatter. This scatter follows the rules for deploying via Deep Strike, with the exception that the scatter distance is dependent on how far the Beluga moved that turn. If the Flier moved 18" then the scatter distance is D6". If it moved over 18" then the scatter distance is 2D6". This scatter is not affected by rules which allow a unit to Deep Strike without scatter (such as Warlord traits and Homing Beacons). Once the final location of the first model is found the remaining models are placed in base contact as per the Deep Strike rules. If the deployed unit scatters onto a friendly or enemy unit then the deployed unit must be moved the minimum distance required until it can be deployed without any of its models being within 1" of the unit. In addition the unit will not be able to use its Jet Pack in the following assault phase. If the deployed unit scatters onto impassable terrain and it is not possible to place all the models atop the terrain with the bases touching (as per the Deep Strike rule) then each model in the unit will suffer a wound, with armour saves allowed, before being moved the minimum possible distance required to allow the unit to deploy. The unit will then not be allowed to use its Jet Pack in the following assault phase. Fire Support A model with the Fire Support rule may elect to split its fire between any enemy units which have already been targeted in the current shooting phase by units from Codex: Tau Empire, provided that the target is in range and, with the exception of SMS, in LOS of the weapon. It must declare which weapons are firing at which targets before any rolls to hit are made. Seeker Missiles may not be fired by the vehicle if this rule is being used, except by the use of markerlight tokens. If fired using a markerlight token then the requirement that the missile must be fired at the same target as the vehicle’s other weapons is ignored. Not sure about points costs, though

Hm, I would put it between 150 and 200 points, probably toward the 150 end? But I would love to see a Tau equivalent to a Storm Raven. Would be very cool, someone model a transport flyer for Tau now!

Hm, I think AV 13 is rather high for an airship. I know that it would have some 41st millennium techno-sorcery in it, but I still doubt any airship would be carrying armor plates similar to that of an Astartes tank. AV 12 or 11 I think would be much more suiting (with the appropriate price reduction, of course). Would be funny to give it a 'hydrogen balloon' special rule where if it Crashes and Burns it drops a template - maybe with a flamer profile.
I would like to see this in the game, would be fun to model and it looks like it would also be a lot of fun to play. Looks adequately powerful for the weaponry prices. I'd like to see more like this in the game. Keep posting cool ideas, my friend.

These are basically just Thunderwolves. Make something new and interesting for the codex. Also, you could maybe steal this special rule dealie from the Leviathan Dreadnought:
Relic of Darkness: wrote:
...trapped in gore-soaked dreams of the lost Age of Darkness... where they strike and what they kill is as often determined by their dark dreaming as it is the will of their commanders.
A model with this special rule is immune to Malediction psychic powers, can never be a scoring unit and must always make charges and Sweeping Advances if they are able. A model with this special rule may not benefit from any rules or bonuses usually conferred by being part of a particular Chapter, detachment or formation.

Bum Flyer (Jet Pack Infantry Fast Attack choice Codex Chaos)
Bum flyers are lesser daemons serving chaos undivided. From a distance they are similar In appearance to the cherubim of the Adeptus Mechanicus. However whereas a cherub is augmented with cybernetic components, Bum Flyers are purely organic...and purely created by the warp. They often accompany furies, darting nimbly above the battlefield, defecating on the heads of their enemies and cackling evilly. Although their disgusting bombardment is more of an annoyance than a danger, it enrages enemy infantry to the point of distraction, which is their very purpose. For as the enemy turn their wrath on the nimble flyers, so the more dangerous daemons are free to advance unhindered towards their prey.
Bum Flyer 7-15 models 7 ppm
2 3 1 2 1 5 1 6 4++ Range 12" Assault 1 S1 AP-
one model may be upgraded to a Dire Bum Flyer for 5 points
2 4 2 2 1 5 1 7 4++ Range 12' Assault 2 S1 AP-
Hit and Run, Ignores cover, Enrage (During the shooting or close combat phase, if a model with enrage scores any hits on enemy models, that unit must take a leadership test. If they fail this test they must direct any shooting or close combat attacks at the enraging models).Enrage has no effect vs vehicles or monstrous creatures.

Thats...actually very good design. bravo.
Hard to tell just how balanced it is without seeing it in game, as it's power and use drive from the special ability, rather than the actual destructiveness/durability, but it fits into the daemon armies quite well in terms of playstyle, making a forced distraction to allow your actual threats to approach is quite nice.
The only thing I dislike, is the name. sounds too silly, and not a "real" daemon.

140 points for 2 Ion Cannons and extra guns that it can't shoot because it's no longer a Gargantuan.
You need to take a step back and take a deep breath. Ask yourself what you want your cool new model to do that's different from what's there now (not just 'better Stormsurge' or now 'better Riptide').
Cut the weapon options by like 90%. Fit the Tau design philosophy.
Price it fairly.

How sad is it that I can't think of any BA-appropriate unit that would be good in 7th? Jump meqs are that bad now.

Well, if you know what ails them, like being overpriced or not doing enough for their points (technically the same thing, but it's different if you want them to stay the same but cheaper or more powerful for their current cost).

What really ails them is that meqs are bad in 7th and jump infantry are bad compared to bikes. BA have no MCs, no TWC-like units, no STR D, a plethora of bad vehicles, largely bad ICs, and a bad LoW. There is no custom unit that can possibly fix all of that. I wouldn't even know where to begin. It's that bad. Death Company is actually very appropriate for BA, but even they are bad in 7th because they just get shot.

It's not that MEQs are bad it's that there's a couple armies or specific builds that are far better that what MEQ armies have. BA definitely need some help though.
What about a formation? Even if BA suck, you can always made the Formation OP to make up for it
