I have decided to start a special project when I get home, and I figured I can get on with writing the datasheets for use in Apocalypse games and allow time for revision and balancing. I'm not going to get too specific with names and stuff , but I'm sure after reading the rules and descriptions you'll be very familiar with what I am working on. All input is appreciated. I want to keep it useful and balanced, but avoid making something too powerful. The data sheets have been placed in Spoilers to keep it organized on the OP as it gets edited. I haven't played in over a year due to this deployment, so pardon if any of the rules that I have stated are outdated, or anything like that. Everything in this post is designed to be used with the Imperial Guard.

Flyer Data Sheet
Spoiler:

300 Points

BS 3 Front 12 Side 12 Rear 10 HP 3

Type: Super Heavy Flyer

Access Points: One ramp at the bottom of the craft.

Firepoints: None

Wargear
Nose mounted Punisher Gatling Cannon
8 Hellstrike Missiles
2 Mutliple Rocket Pods
Extra Armor
Searchlight

Transport: The craft has a transport capacity of 1 APC, or up to 3 Sentinels. It may not transport infantry models of any type.


Special Rules:

Express Elevator to Hell: Typically deployed from high orbit this craft may perform deepstrike. For the purposes of deployment via deepstrike or normal reserves, this vehicle is considered an "Escort" for any cargo it is carrying.
(the intent here is to roll for the unit its transporting, and if you make the roll you can bring in the transport)

In The Pipe, Five by Five: To precisely deploy cargo, the vehicle may move up to 6 inches after deepstrike.
(intent is to give better precision without taking out the complete factor of the deepstrike)

Down and Clear: The following turn after deepstrike the vehicle may deploy its cargo. When vehicles dismount from the craft they may move as normal.
(not sure if this is going to work out the way I want it. I really just wanted to illustrate the fact that wheeled/tracked vehicles may move as normal after disembark of the aircraft)

Options:
May Exchange Hellstrike Missiles with Hellfury Missiles...... FREE
May Exchange the nose mounted Punisher Gatling Cannon with any one(1) of the following:
Exterminator Autocannon..... 10 pts
Twin Linked Lascannon..... 25 pts


APC
Spoiler:

115 points

BS 3 FRONT 12 SIDE 11 REAR 10 HP 3


Type: Vehicle(tank)

Access Points: One hatch on the right side.

Firepoints: None

Transport Capacity: 15 models

Wargear:
Hullmounted Heavy Bolter
Turret mounted Twin Linked Autocannon
Smoke Launchers


Special Rules:

Pack it in!: The vehicle may carry 2 different units, so long as they do not exceed 15 models including attached Independent Characters.
(Intent here is to be able to field a combination of units to benefit each other. Say two squads of storm troopers( 7 and 8), one squad of vets and a command squad, or whatever you really want to put in the APC)

Everyone's Online: In many situations this vehicle acts as a command post for troops it deploys. With its advanced suite of electronics, orders may be issued up to 48" away. However, it may only do so with a squad it has deployed.
(Provide distance support if you choose to hide your APC because of lots of anti tank, but still want to be able to use orders. ALso thinking that Master of Ordinance can use his barrage from inside the vehicle, just not sure how to word it)

Options:
Replace Heavy Bolter for a Heavy Flamer.... FREE
Replace Twin Linked Autocannon with:
Twin Linked Lascannon... 20 points
Twin Linked Plasma Cannon... 30 points
May purchase any of the following:
Camo netting... 20 points
Extra Armor... 15 points
Searchlight... 1 point
Locator Beacon... 10 points
