FreakCell Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I believe this is my first post on this forum. thus i have no clue how to format this so it looks good on screen. if any one could help me (or better yet do it for me) it would be greatly appreciated. The idea behind the chapter The Obsidian Serpents are a North American themed chapter, specifically the east coast. Now when (or if) you read it, you may ask “what the hell are all of these Navajo words doing in here?” The reason for that is because I have yet to find a good Iroquois or Algonquin dictionary, so words like inlali and wohali are merely place holders. And yes if you have not guessed yet this is a pre-Columbian America I’m basing this chapter on. I know that I am not the first to come up with the idea of a Native American Space Marine army, but I believe I am the first to attempt a codex. If I am wrong, and there is a codex like this out there, pleas show me a link to it, I would like to see it. I also wanted a chapter that was comprised of fewer, more powerful soldiers, even more so than the current space marine codex. The Basic Story The basic fluff surrounding the chapter is that they are treasure hunters, searching for lost artifacts and advanced technologies across the galaxy. Because of this they are one of the most technologically advanced and well equipped of the chapters, often bringing bizzar and lethal equipment they have either found or reproduced into battle. Their homeworld of Aanaga is a bit unique to other space marine homeworlds in that it is not a harsh or dangerous planet, but a rather pleasant one, very similar to what Terra once was. However because of this the Obsidian Serpents have an especially difficult time finding eligible recruits, as there are no environmental factors to weed out the weak. As a consequence, Obsidian Serpents are not the most hardy or strongest of space marines. Obsidian Serpent Codex This Codex is in no way complete, both in game terms and in fluff, and is subject to severe change at a moment’s notice. My knowledge of the Warhammer 40,000 rules is limited so there are probably many errors and contradictions in this Codex so bear with me Special Obsidian Serpent Weapons and Equipment Fang Emblem A badge of honor and rank, the Fang Emblem has a powerful built in force field generator, protecting its wearer from all manner of threats. Confers a 4+ invulnerable save. Totem-Honah The Totem-Honah is one of the more puzzling of weapons in the Obsidian Serpents’ arsenal. Often constructed of wood of tree species unknown to the Imperium, the Totem-Honah has been the cause of some concern by the Ecclesiarchy and the Adeptus Mechanicus alike. Lacking any visible power generator, its ability to smash open tanks and cause the very ground to tremble has caused many members of the Ecclesiarchy and the Adeptus Mechanicus to consider the Totem-Honah to be a product of sorcery, for how else could a wooden weapon be able to have that kind of destructive force? A Totem-Honah Counts as a Thunder Hammer that strikes with the bearer’s initiative. It cannot be used in conjunction with a Storm Shield. A model armed with a Totem-Honah cannot gain an extra attack for wielding a pistol or having the true grit universal special rule. A model cannot wield two Totem-Honahs. Warp Bow The Warp Bow itself is nothing extraordinary, for it acts and functions just like any other bow (though perhaps a bit better), so is not what you would expect in a futuristic battle field. The ammunition the Warp Bow uses though is where the Warp Bow gains its potency. The Warp Bow fires arrows with highly volatile charges at their tips, which when detonated can cause the borders between the physical world and the warp to temporarily open up, sucking in or severely disfiguring anything that comes close to it. Because of the Warp Bows charges instability, any attempt to fire them from a gun or cannon would result in them detonating within the barrel, rendering them useless and the firer dead. Even with the precaution of launching these arrows with a Warp Bow, accidents are not uncommon, and wielding a Warp Bow is a dangerous undertaking. The Warp Bow is a two handed ranged weapon that can be fired one of three ways as described below. Any rolls to wound that land on a 6 cause instant death. The Warp Bow is not affected by True Grit. Fang Shot The fang shot is an arrow that produces a force field that actually causes space to bend around it. This ability to warp the very fabric of reality means it can pierce any physical obstical, no matter how dense or thick. Range Str Ap Type 24 8 2 Assault2 Warp Shot The warp shot is the most widely used of arrows for its ability to cause infantry and anything else within its affect radius to suddenly disappear into the abyss. Range Str Ap Type 24 6 2 Heavy 1, Blast, Gets Hot!* Comet Shot Similar to the Fang Shot, the Comet Shot works on a much larger and more unstable scale. In addition to its ability to distort space, it also sends out waves of energy that can fry circuitry and crack hardware. Range Str Ap Type 24 8 1 Heavy 1, Rending, Gets Hot!* *If the Warp Bow overheats, the bearer is killed instantly with no armor saves allowed, invulnerable saves can be taken as normal. This is not Instant Death, so the Eternal Warrior universal special rule has no effect. Twin-Linked Boltgun For any vehicle from the Space Marine Codex that has Storm Bolters, they instead have Twin-Linked Boltguns. Any upgrades that these vehicles have that would normally give them Storm Bolters give them Twin-Linked Boltguns instead. Advanced Plasma Weapons It is unknown how the Obsidian Serpents came upon this technology, but they have found a way to make plasma weapons that will not overheat. The rest of the imperium refuses however, to manufacture these weapons because the Obsidian Serpents will not divulge how they discovered this Technology. Because of this the Obsidian Serpents are under suspicion of dealing with xenos engineers, and are thus considered by some to be heretics and traitors. Plasma guns, Plasma Pistols, and Plasma Cannons do not have the Gets Hot! Special rule. However plasma weapons issued to Obsidian Serpents cost more points than normal Pulse Totem Any unit deep striking within 6 inches of a model with a Pulse Totem will not scatter. Advanced Repair Kit Techmarines and Forge Masters on Bikes have the feel-no-pain universal special rule. And any unit they join that is mounted on bikes has the feel-no-pain universal special rule. Thunder Lance Many Space Marine bikers ride into battle wielding spears that have an advanced tip that upon contact with another object will discharge a powerful blast of plasma energy that can sear through tank armor. The Thunder Lance is a strength 6 Power Weapon and any attacks made with a Thunder Lance have the Lance ability. Blade of a Thousand Tears The Blade of a Thousand Tears is a two-handed melee weapon that ignores armor saves and invulnerable saves and causes instant death. The bearer and any unit he is attached to must re-roll any successful leadership test, including those for psychic powers. There may only be one Blade of a Thousand Tears per army.

Ragnar02 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 :lol: I really like the idea for this codex. I don't understand why the psyker is called a medicine man though, shouldn't that be an apothacary. I think the warp bow shouldn't have additional ammo. And I think your marines should have somethink unique about them too in the form of a universal-rule like fleet or preferred enemy. Besides that really like this Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/187013-codex-obsidian-serpents/#findComment-2213976 Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreakCell Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 Ragnar02- Thanks for the read, I appreciate it. the reason Obsidian Serpant Librarians are called medicine men is because in a number of American societies medicine did not necessarily always mean pharmaceuticals. Medicine could also mean luck or spiritual purity. There is a story of a chief who at one point ate with metal utensils, white men tools, so it was said his medicine was bad. However I probably will eventually call Apothecaries Medicine Men and call Librarians something like Skokum, which if I remember correctly means black magic in some American language. I also need to add a chaplain in the list. wizard12- D'oh! your right. I just changed it, thanks for pointing it out. If anyone else can tell me if they see a goof or something that's not clear give me a holler. And if someone can tell me how I indent that would be cool too.

Kurasuke Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Don't Dark Angels have some Native American flavor? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/187013-codex-obsidian-serpents/#findComment-2214503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreakCell Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 Kurasuke- Though i did hear of this i highly doubt it. With names like Lion El' Jonson, Caliban, and Luther, any american influence would be minimal at best. Even though the Dark angels may wear feathers, feathers does not necessarily equal American. On a different note, can someone tell me how to indent my paragraphs? with all the words smashed into the side of the screen, the Codex is a bit hard to read.

Kurasuke Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I think tables would be make it easier to read. And yeah- the Native American influence on the Dark Angels is minimal, but present.

FreakCell Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Kurasuke- Thanks for the read. What are these tables you speak of and how would I create them? I am what one would call a N00bzorZ. I just added a new HQ choice, the Muktanine. These guys are basically chaplains who have the eternal warrior special rule but cannot be equipped with terminator armor. For some reason the lines for his entry are spaced really far apart and I have no idea how to fix that.
