But they are a terrible, terrible characterful unit. So how can we make them a good choice to take for the army?

Spawn: 55 pts. 0-1
(1-3 Spawn may be taken as a single Fast Attack Choice)
Unit Type: Beast
WS: 3 BS: 0 S: 5 T: 5 W: 3 I: 3 A: D6 LD: 10 Sv: -

Special Rules:
Fearless
Slow and Purposeful
Feel No Pain
Mindless
Fleet

What this does: It makes the Spawn a little hardier so that they aren't getting shot down instantly by anything that looks at them, and it also gives them a little bit more speed, with a possibility of charging from 18" away.

Not overpowered, but better and worth taking one or two.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344106/2401422.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344106/2401422.page GMT Re:Spawn Improvements
What about taking out the Slow and Purposeful rule?. I have never undertood the logic behind "Slow and Purposeful"+"Fast Attack".]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344106/2402330.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344106/2402330.page GMT Re:Spawn Improvements D6", and the Slow and Purposeful rule is what gives us that. I was thinking of cutting off fleet and giving them Cavalry charge range (12"), but then thought that that wasn't spawn like, either.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344106/2402793.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344106/2402793.page GMT Re:Spawn Improvements

and Slow and Purposfull means they strike at I1 in CC iirc]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344106/2411661.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344106/2411661.page GMT Spawn Improvements

Did not know that fleet thing.

Also, I do not beleive that Slow and Purposeful strikes at I1. I think that most things that have Slow and Purposeful (I.E. Obliterators) have Power Fists, which strike at I1.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344106/2412554.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344106/2412554.page GMT Spawn Improvements with a 12" Charge... and Fleet...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344106/2413110.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344106/2413110.page GMT Spawn Improvements
It'd be nice to have a large pack of them being led on by a Junior Sorcerer or something. Of course I guess that's too similar to the Dark Eldar's beast pack.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344106/2414338.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344106/2414338.page GMT Spawn Improvements CSM units. Keep their current stats, change type to Infantry, add a "Bulky" rule, and change Mindless to "If a Spawn model is left without any Marines to guide it, remove it from play.

But then all Marine Units that are using Spawn would have to be footsloggers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344106/2415843.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344106/2415843.page GMT Spawn Improvements http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344106/2415859.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/344106/2415859.page GMT
