<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "New Daemon Unit - Warp Wraiths"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/16.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net New Daemon Unit - Warp Wraiths GW Daemons is that while the fluff is pretty good at presenting daemons as monstrous beings from outside our reality the game and the models pretty much treats them as another spikey skull encrusted hand to hand unit.

What about the ones who haunt the warp and crawl into vulnerable minds?

So here's my modest addition.



WARP WRAITHS
WS4, BS0, S3, T3, W1, I4, A1, Ld 10, Sv 3+ (invulnerable)
Type - Jump Infantry, daemon
Special rules - Power weapons, furious charge, +1 strength against psykers, possession (see below)



Possession

When models are killed by wraiths put them on their side. At the end of the turn remove a wraith model and replace it with the dead model. The dead model (with it's original stats and wargear) is now under the full control of the Wraith player. The possessed models form a new unit (one unit per individual assault, per turn). Kill points are only awarded for wiping out the wraith unit, not if they all possess an enemy unit. No kill points are awarded for killing possessed models.



Notes - I see them appearing as little more than menacing mist at first. Stat-wise they're IG with I4. Then add in the Invulnerable save, power weapons and jumping to make them more ghostlike but not completely unstoppable. I considered having them live on if the host body is destroyed but thought that would be much too powerful.

Anyway, feedback?

And ideas on a point cost? 20 points? less? More?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225302/488253.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225302/488253.page GMT New Daemon Unit - Warp Wraiths http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225302/489801.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225302/489801.page GMT New Daemon Unit - Warp Wraiths
edit oh yeah i see. hmm, i would have to test them in a battle against the different armies and then total them on thier effectiveness.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225302/489888.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225302/489888.page GMT New Daemon Unit - Warp Wraiths
I love the concept though.

& yeah, I definitely agree, 3+ cover save, not invulnerable.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225302/490053.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225302/490053.page GMT New Daemon Unit - Warp Wraiths http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225302/490208.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225302/490208.page GMT New Daemon Unit - Warp Wraiths

The rules as written are fun, and by no means overpowering. Also did you look at the stat line of these guys? If they can take down a ctan, or demon prince than they deserve to posess him.


oh yeah, my mistake. I forgot they actually have to kill the model in order to posess it, I was thinking it was a special ability for a second there.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225302/490691.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225302/490691.page GMT New Daemon Unit - Warp Wraiths http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225302/492567.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225302/492567.page GMT New Daemon Unit - Warp Wraiths WS 3/4). ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225302/492632.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225302/492632.page GMT New Daemon Unit - Warp Wraiths http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225302/493138.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225302/493138.page GMT
