Rules for awesome mega units like emperor and primarchs in 40k present day

Deadshot — GMT

These are rules for ultra mega units like primarchs and gods,if they were reincarnated and fighting in 40k next to calgar and present day units

these are written based on my views only ,with no outside opinion or negotiation.there are mor to come like necrons,tau,eldar tyranids and dark eldar.

give feedback if you make it to the end

Gods of War

Gods of War are commonly Gargantuan Creatures.While most are much bigger than most monstrous creatures,in general this simply refers to their awesome power.Gods of War that are also Gargantuan Creatures or is noted as using gargantuan creature rules may not perform stomping attacks and fight in combat like any other unit.
Gods of War are usually independent characters.An infantry modal can join Infantry or monstrous creatures.A monstrous creature can join infantry units and other monstrous creatures.A gargantuan crature can join gargantuan creatures and monstrous creatures,but not infantry.
No god of war may join a artillery,or vehicle unit.
They may only join a beast/cavalry,bike or jump infantry unit if they themselves can mount a an animal or bike or can move like jump infantry, through wings, jetpacks teleporters,etc
For example,Magnus the Red is a Daemon Prince with wings,also a monstrous creature, could join a unit of infantry,jump infantry or monstrous creatures.Leman Russ is a cavalry modal so he would be able to join a unit of infantry,monstrous creatures or a beast/cavalry unit
It goes without saying that gods of war are unique and you can only include 1 in your army.It is also pretty obvious that they must be your leader for all purposes(Clash of the Heroes battle mission,Yarrick’s Stand scenario,etc)
These units are not limited to apocalypse and may be used in normal games

In the current DA codex, there's a segment about Lion and Luther's fight.
The shizzle was ridiculous. Apparently the impacting blows from one onto the other was so powerful that it tore the entire planet apart.

I think instead of normal melee attacks that roll to hit and wound, you should get a teardrop template with the tip of the round end touching the model and the pointy end as far away from the model as possible.
All models touched by the template suffers a strength D hit.
You get 1 template per attack value.

Give the emperor something like every turn, all enemy models within LOS of the emperor are wounded on a 4+ with armor saves allowed. Vehicles take D6 glancing hits.
If the emperor rolls a perils of the warp, he gets irresistible force instead and wounds on a 2+ with no armor saves while vehicles take D6 penetrating hits instead.

Hmmm actually they cost too much points, not to brag about orks superior close combat, you can wipe any of them kinda easily if you have 1500-500 points of CC nobz, just sayin.
I would love to see Gork and Mork, even though they are very different compared to others, as they have never actually been seen or confirmed to exist. But just for you to know, hive mind isn't a single creature to fight, so you kinda can't make rules for it. Hive mind is all tyranids together.

Re:Rules for awesome mega units like emperor and primarchs in 40k present day

Deadshot — GMT

The Hive Mind is a single tyranid creature.It has to be as it says so in ALL fluff.

I realize that that amount of nobs would OP them,but as I said I want a overpowered unit but not unbeatable unit.

They cost that much because I don't want anyone using Primarchs outside of 2000pts+ games.The others are 5500pts+ only and as GCs they will be good in normal games because this single man,takes up your enetire army and gives your opponent 6500 pts vs him(master of war rule) unless using Horus or Khorne etc. which evens it out.At 5500pts minimum,most players will try to be playing apoc, in whch case there will be titans and GCs galore so its even.

Edit:Most of the GCs can take a retinue.Are you saying Nobs can take on Horus,and 8 Daemon Princes,which can be upgraded to Traitor Primarchs for a mere 100pts?

Rules for awesome mega units like emperor and primarchs in 40k present day

Just Dave — GMT

I'm not trying to be rude, however I will be honest and you did request input, including me specifically...

I do not feel characters such as the Emperor, Primarchs and most certainly Gods do not belong on the tabletop. These are nigh-invincible beings; gods and demigods. Some psychic apparitions that simply to look upon would cause death.

Mortals that look upon the Primarchs are typically brought to tears or drop to their knees in awe. Yet, these Primarchs barely compare to a god and that kind of thing cannot be represented in-game.
Slaanesh destroyed most of the Eldar race with her birth, a Bloodthirster capable of destroying entire armies barely touched Khorne. The powers needed to summon a greater daemon are immense, imagine what would be needed to bring an entity such as a Chaos God onto the battlefield.

It is rumoured that C'tan will be dropped from the Necron Codex because of how illogical it is to try and represent a god in-game, particularly in a D6, max-stat-10 system.

These demi-gods and gods are essential to the background of 40K, have vast 'plot armour' and would be incredibly difficult to represent in-game, let alone represent fairly, accurately or enjoyably.

This (and more) is why I do not believe such beings should have in game stats and I'm still yet to see rules or an argument that would convince me otherwise.

Again, I'm not trying to be rude but you asked for my input and you knew it wasn't positive and it isn't. Not just for these or you, but for any attempts to represent such beings; in my mind at least it just will not work and nor have I ever seen anything to suggest otherwise to me...

I would go a completely different route with Primarchs.

They have special rules to replace their statlines (except for attacks) They always hit in close combat on a 2+ and can choose to strike anywhere in the initiative order at all times. Shooting always hits on a 2+/4+ and they can allocate the wounds like the Vindicare assassin. They always wound on a 2+ and their attacks ignore armour saves and inflict instant death. They are all psykers who can cast 3 powers per turn. Fearless and so on and so forth. Maybe something really sick like "no retreat" wounds caused by a Primarch ignore all saves.

So in general they are freaking monsters ability-wise. They shoot anything they can see and whatever they assault dies very quickly. They don't have any titan-crushing shooting powers or anything like that. They're just Space Marines with a god-like skill level.

In addition they would all have a chapter tactics ability that functions in addition to whatever chapter tactics or other special rule that the army gets.

And whatever special rule is appropriate to the specific primarch. Wings, etc.

Surprisingly, well, not- uber, is what I say. You kept the rules awesome, but, well, small enough that you'd actually be able to play a game with them, instead of just saying "I have the Emperor, I win"

Something you ought to do is make some rules for Ghazzy, that would more accurately represent him. Actually, Ghazzy, the Arch-Arsonist of Charadon, maybe Tuska da Daemon Killa (after a couple millenia in the Warp, killing daemons every day with all 'iz Boyz an' Nobz, e'z bound to be Bigger and Badder than other Orks). Gork an' Mork wouldn't really work, since they're literally unbeatable according to fluff- and that's not just me being a fanboy, either. Every other unit shown here has, in fluff, a limit. A weakness, a way to kill them. If not explicitly stated, then hinted at through the lack of calling them 'invincible'. Gork and Mork are actually, in the fluff, known to be able to bash the other god's 'eads in without so much as a by-your-leave.

However, Ghazkull Mag Uruk Thrakka's been fighting on Armageddon for decades. He's described in the fluff as being, what was it, 10, 20 metres tall? That's over 30 feet, 2 stories of a building. Monstrous, if not Gargantuan.

May I point out for the sake of argument that Angron at least already has rules in 40k (one of the Imperial Armor books, I think) and he is seriously outclassed by a Bloodthirster? I think most of the Primarchs' awesomeness comes from the fact that we only hear about it from Imperial sources that venerate them as gods.

Also, the very concept of putting the Chaos Gods into a fight with anyone on the tabletop scale is just silly. It implies that you can, in fact, harm the manifestations of various emotions.

Nicely written rules, but I agree with JustDave on the previous page. These beings are extremely hard, if not impossible, to represent on the table-top.

There are good but flawed suggestions here.

1st,not all primarch's were psychic,only Magnus and Sanguinius.Lorgar did have power but very little and that's why he get's 1 power a turn.
2nd,No Retreat isn't caused by any particular modal.
3rd,they all have a power weapon of some degree.
3rd,They do all have a chapter Tactics,except for manus,who has no special characters,and Gulliman,whose combat tactics are his chapter tactics.
4th,the allocate wounds is good,but the primarchs need to command the wider battle,so the are too busy to take that careful aim.
5rth,Sanguinius and Corax do have wings,Khan has his ultra fast bike(18" move/assault,30" turbo boost),Manus has his servo kit etc.
6th,they all are excedingly fast,bar Vulkan and Manus,who has a TH that strikes in Int order and a plain TH with conversion beamer.

Other than that they seem okay, ridiculous, but okay.

Edit: Typo's

The first paragraph says that they can be used in a normasl game.Whikle at first this may seem OP,it isn't.In order to field a primarch,you need a game of 2000pts+,to fit in the primarch and 2 troops,plus a little extra.The gods need at least 5500 to fit them in and 2 troops.

This means that you opponent has 1500pts/5000ptsd to fight your god of war with.Also,if fielding one of the 5K characters,your opponent gets another 1500pts.

I didn't just amke these up a say there you go.I put real thought into balance.

For fluff wise stuff,I want to put these characters in present day 40K.The 41st Millenium is drawing to its close,so I'm here to put something new in.

's just that the threshold between 'normal' and Apoc is about 3000 points, so the ones that cost 5000 or more by themselves? Cannot be used in 'normal' games.

Re:Rules for awesome mega units like emperor and primarchs in 40k present day

Semper — GMT

You have to remember based on fluff even the basic space marine is meant to be THE man, literally so and the basic stat lines have been made to represent that in a relative format. You can see from Angrons DP rules in Apoc that these guys are not meant to be this strong when put into that system. Angron doesn't have T8 or 9 wounds and when elevated to Daemonhood he's meant to be stronger than the run of the mill Primarch. Just because they beef them up during a single titanic duel in fluff doesn't mean much. Emperor and Horus fought on a battle barge.. i'd have a guess that it wouldn't be as resilient as an entire planet and they managed NOT to destroy that during the scrap and that single story/fluff is probably one of the most cemented in all warhammer. You're using different generations of writers, some obviously influenced by the absurd lengths anime goes too, some obviously channeling something a little more restrained such as Star Wars.

Using the Gods is outrageous. They're Gods man. Tzeentch has repeatedly been described as the guy who pulls EVERYONE's strings of fate and Khorne is supposedly stronger than him... the only way they'd ever truly be in a toble top game is...well never... because unless they were fighting one another it'd always be 'Chaos God wins' as the single special rule. Hell they toyed and took out the Eldar Pantheon of Gods like it was a sunday morning, their closest vassals (the Greater Daemons) are quite possibly the strongest group of models in the standard game and Khorne took one of them out like it was nothing... Slan decimated the eldar race like he was rolling around in his sleep and accidentally smacked the galaxy in the face, no matter your logic or rhym.. I hate to be a kill joy but there is no true possible way of putting them in the system without denying them their true nature and you only tarnish the concepts of them by trying in my opinion.

I know... i'm an ass, but meh.

I'd probably have a Primarchs basic stat line in the region of...
WS BS S T W I A LD SV
7 7 6 5 4 6 4 10 2+

As for Empy then pop him on an extra wound and attack and pump his I, WS, BS to 10.

Rules for awesome mega units like emperor and primarchs in 40k present day

Deadshot — GMT

I am not influinced by anything.

As for you stat line,an assassin has WS and BS 8,so your telling me an assassin is better than this.4 wounds?C'mon,a Great Unclean One has 5.You telling me it's ahrder to kill him than Magnus the Red?

As for Angron,his inserttion is simply "read GW website,but add these rules".He is cheaper,but is accompanied by betwwen 2 and 12 bloodthirsters.This more than compansates for his rubbishness.

Just FYI,the closest aids and highest ranking Daemons are the Daemon Lords.Also,The Chaos Gods are no different to any other daemon except that they are extraordinarily powerful and need a big Rift with a capital everything.

No the Chaos Gods aare while Daemons are created by the gods while others are created by emotion, the Chaos gods are pure emotion while daemons are the creations of the gods or a small cluster off emotions and if created by the gods they are simply part of the Chaos god.

The Red Thirst
The Blood Rage
All modals with the Red Thirst(including Sanguinius)succumb to it on a roll of 1-4.All Death Company modals lose the Rage Special rule.If Sanguinius dies,Death Company regain the rule.Also,any none-Death company modals use the rules and profile of a Death Company.Furioso(not Librarian)Dreadnoughts become Death company Dreadnoughts.Captain Tycho IMMEDIATELY becomes Death Company Tycho.The exceptions are Sanguinary Guard,Chaplains,HQ units,Honour Guard and named characters other than Tycho.They instead succumb to the Red Thirst(if they have not already done.so)and gain the Rage special rule.
Exterminatus
In the Shadow of our Lord
Only non-vehicle modals with a jump pack or similar may be included in a force with Sanguinius.Those that have it as an option may take it for free.Unique Characters without a jump device may still be taken.Vehicles have no limitations.

Sorry, but this makes no sense.

First, Blood Angels did not get the Red Thirst or Black Rage until after his death. As others mentioned they were basicly red ultramarines that favored fast attack Assault Marines.

Also, when he did die, the entire army did not fall to the Black Rage. And then lets look at the game mechanics. The Dreads Armor goes from a 13 to a 12 just because someone accross the board died? You really need to rethink his powers and abilities.

Maybe give him a 12" bubble of FNP, FC. Or have all units have FNP and FC while he is alive, but if he dies, then all units must test or gain Rage. Also No DC or DC Dreads allowed.

EDIT:

A few more things I missed. Does not have Eternal Warrior, so the first Force weapon that comes along kills him, also he has 5 Psychic Powers but NO Hood????

You also gave Ultramarines almost every Universal Special Rule in the book, and you did not give The Blood Angels, the one Chapter that use to have FC as a Standard Rule? No offense, but you shouldnot write the rules for chapters Primarchs unless you actually know their fluff and history.

Where in the fluff does it say there were no tact squads or Dev squads until after his death? That is what you rule about only JP Infantry does.

Re:Rules for awesome mega units like emperor and primarchs in 40k present day

The EW is a typo.He should indeed have it.He should also have Tactical Prescision.

I think a force weapon that can be used to ID 5 guys and a Hood is pushing it

The Furioso Dread will retain his armour values,I will edit this.

The background to these,are bringing these units into modern day 40K.That way characters can fight alongside them.I think Dante,who is a mere 1400 yrs old is not going to be around to see sSanguinius die.

When he died the firast time in HH,he was alone except for Horus and The Emperor,so the asignal was weaker.This time,he is right beside them,so not only would they be emotionally scarred,it would enhance the signal.

Not all the primarch's were that close to each other in actual combat. Horus and Sanguinus were considered the best fighters 1v1 while Russ and Angron competed for the best on the battle field. The ones that weren't great fighters like Guillman and Alpharius made up for it with Tactics or sneakiness.

Ok I understand that but a 1500 point model with a 4++ is absurd, especially seeing as how gulliman has a 3++, then a following 4++, I mean fateweaver has a better save than perttymuch any of them and heck ghazkul could tear almost any of the primarch's facTes if he waagh's and has any heavy nobs with him, I mean come on they should pretty much all have 2++ saves, heck not pretty much I mean for 1500 points they SHOULD.

Although many just give them 4 wounds, but heck I think 5 wounds isn't even unreasonable considering he's 1500 points

Have to add 1 more thing Dorn got boned I mean his stateline sucks compared to the rest, and to top it off his special rules aren't even that great, especially when compared to some of the others, especially when he was considered one of the bet strategists out of the primarch's, and furthermore he was considered great in combat by his brothers (by far the best all around primarch's there was only second to Horus in the emperors eyes, even Horus considered Dorn to be a great candidate for Warmaster. He turned to Dorn for advice all the time.)

Honestly overall I don't agree with most of these, I would never let someone use one in a game simply because the ok ones are ... Ok I guess, but to many points then compared to others there to cheap compared to their equal points cost counterparts just an array of off set state lines and special rules IMHO.

And what's the deal with Horus he's way better then the emperor, he removes models from play in shooting, gives you abbadon and 8 dad

Here is the rules for Khaine,the Bloody Handed God

Kaela Mensha Khaine,The Bloody Handed God……5000pts
Khaine is an HQ choice for an Eldar army.He uses up all available HQ slots,but HQ units may be taken as elites.Other Gods of War may still be chosen,but you must choose the overall commander.

Ws Bs S T W I A Ld Sv
10 7 9 8 10 8 8 10 2+
Unit Type:Gargantuan Creature
Wargear
The Sword of Khaine
This is a Titan close combat weapon.Wounds inflicted by this weapon ignore invulnerable saves and Eternal warrior.Gargantuan creatures suffer D6 wounds.Gods of War that are not gargantuan still suffer instant death.Against vehicle,this weapon rolls 3D6 for Armour Penatration.This even applies to Monolithes and other units that negate extra armour penatration dice.
Special rules
Independent Character
Preferred Enemy: Daemons
The God of War
Khaine and any Eldar unit within 24” of Khaine is Fearless and has Feel No Pain.
Warp Entity
For all intents and purposes,Khaine is trated as a Daemon,but is not affected by Daemonbane.
Magma’s Child
Khaine treats lava and fire features as clear terrain.Khaine is not affected by heat based weapons or weapons with the melta rule.Heat based weapons are Flamers,Heavy Flamers,Flamestorm Cannons,Inferno Cannons,Inferno Guns,Incinerators,Heavy Incinerators,Flamespurts,Dragon’s Breath Flamers,or any other weapon described as being heat based at any point.If a modal attempts to use one of these within 12” of Khaine,roll a D6.On a 4+,the shot is negated and Khaine regains 1 wound,up to a maximum of 10.In addition,Khaine may shoot with the following profile;

Range S AP Type
48” 10 1 Assault 1,Melta*

*Against vehicles that are within 12”,this rolls 3D6 for armour penetration. Against modals that have a ceramite plating or equivilent,this rolls 2D6 for Armour penetration.
Bloody Handed
At the beginning of each of Khaine’s turn,take a Ld test.If it fails,Khaine succumbs to guilt,and gains furious charge,rage and fleet rules untill the beginning of his next turn.If the test is failed on double 6,he gains these abilities for the remainer of the game.

Retinue:Khaine amy take a retinue of Pheonix Lords,one of each aspect.

I think a norn queen would be a rather fun. Probably being a static gargantuan creature that pukes out carnifes. I don't actually know the high gothic plural for carnifex, but it comes from the latin third conjunction.

Are these seriously for normal games because if so they are far over powered, the normal game points cost is 2500 and there are no force organization charts in Apocalypse.

The Primarchs are fine but the Chaos Gods are nowhere near what they should be. They shouldn't even be thought of in game terms. Might as well just give them 10's all around with a re-rollable 2++, EW, 30 Wounds and Attacks because you aren't just going to kill, yknow, Khorne by shooting the Cyberdemon until it dies.

Yes,they are seriously intended for nrormal gameplay.They may seem op to begin with,but essentially,the 5000pts means that you will be vastly outmanned.If you don't have a counterpart,then your opponent gets an additional 1500pts.So,in a 5500pts game,it would be the Emperor and a couple of Tac squads vs a 6500pts army,OP?No.

If you include the counterpart for your army,you don't gain the addaitional 1500pts,but then it is equal becasue they have similar power..

Like I said,the Necron Tiotan could be used as a normal Apoc unit(losing the Awesome Might and Master of Wra rules),and fit right in with the Necrons,and give them a decent unit.

In terms of FOC,there could be a custom or Battle mission out there that makes Elites,HS and FA 2 KP,HQ 3,troops and DT 1.So,even in Apocalypse,taking one of these would make Calgar worth 2 KP instead of 3.

That's called Apocalypse, the term given to a game type over 3000 points. I doesn't matter if you use a small amount of models the points cost determines that. Yes it is if its a normal game which it technically is not.

If it is 3k+,it doesn't have to be Apoc.Apocalypse is an option with a minmum requirement of 3000pts,in additon to a maximum limit.It is an optional expansion,like Battle Misiions,COD and Planetstrike.Most people play Apocalypse anyway at 5000pts,and then there is no problem anyway.

Look, I'll give it to you straight.

Apocalypse is not like Spearhead or Cities of Death. Those are additions to the normal game. Apocalypse is all new rules. Different deployment, different win conditions, different (as in no) Force Organization Chart, and different types of units. There is actually no limits, either minimum or maximum, for an Apocalypse game. You could have an Apoc game at 500 points each side. Silly? Yes. But possible. By the same token, you could have an Apoc game with one million or more points on each side. Impractical? Again, yes. But possible. The hallmark of an Apoc game is the lack of a FoC and the different rules, both for deployment, turn order, and win conditions. That's it.

You can play a regular game up to any points value. You can play a regular game down to any points value, as long as you follow the FoC. Because of the limiting nature of the FoC, this means that it generally becomes impractical to play non-Apoc games after about 3000 points, simply because it becomes difficult to fill a full 3000 points with only 2 HQs, 6 Troops, and 3 each of Elite, Fast Attack and Heavy Support. Yes, some Armies may be able to do this, but not most.

For example, the very maximum number of points it's possible to field using the Ork codeks is... 10417? Okay, so maybe you have a point there. Still, the point stands that most people will not have a single army that large. Much of the points cost in an Apocalypse game goes to Superheavies, which cannot be fielded in 'normal' games. 1 model which costs most of a thousand points makes it much easier to play multi-thousand point games.

You know what? I think I just convinced myself contrary to my original point. You apparently can play an actual 'normal' game with units that cost upwards of 5000 points. Huh. I think the turning point came when I realized that, with the Mad Dok, it's possible to make Nob Mobz that are worth more than one thousand points. almost 1250 with a Battlewagon. That's kinda insane.

It is the same.It is optional to play Apocalypse,just like it is optional to play Planet Strike or Spearhead,and they have strategems and different deployment as well.

Multiple detachment games are non apocalypse games,and they are basically 2 different armies,fighting under 1 list.It is essentially 2 FOC.
