Dornian Heresy - Codex In Progress

[Jarl Bloodwolf]

1) I kinda like the idea of the Thousand Sons using an Eldar-esque system for their psykers. Im actually building a full thousand sons army and I know that psyker spam can be really frustrating. Especially when you perils as much as I do :blush:

 

2) I totally agree with word bearers on this one.

 

3) By CSM do you mean Codex: Space Marine or Codex Chaos Marine?, I'll assume the former. Perhaps if we go the special character route, we can add a stipulation that all Assault Sqauds without Jump Packs are troops to stop it from becoming another C:BA

 

The idea was inspired by Eldar exarch powers and I think it works well with the fluff as in the PDF it describes specific squads utilising specific powers and being united by their seargent and if the seargent is killed the squad becomes confused.

 

As for the CSM I did mean codex space marines and I agree on the assault squads not having jump packs. I also think that their should be something reflects their drive for controle like how in the fluff there is a story of a World Eater getting the blood of a Space Wolf in his mouth and liking it but then he fights for controle and such which to me could be a usefull part of using the BA codex but I think it should be more along the lines of having to take a leadership test and if they fail they become subject to the Rage and Furious Charge rules as they lose control which can be beneficial but then a negative effective should also be applied.

What about Word bearers in a Black Templar style codex?

[Trupie]

We've been planning on using C:BT for Word Bearers.

 

On the World Eaters, I have a theory that reads like so, just an idea.

The Rule would read:

 

WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN:

Whenever a World Eaters unit achieves a massacre in close combat, make a leadership test at -1, if passed, there is no effect. If failed, the world eaters unit gains a 5+ feel no pain save, +1 attack and the USR Rage and loses "And they shall know no fear"

 

The FNP was inspired by the old chaos codex, and losing ATSKNF makes it a drawback like in C:BA. The loss of ATSKNF is meant to represent them reverting to a more primal, bestial "Fight or Flight" mindset

 

On a final note, if we are interested in working on a specific codex, what do we do? I would like to work on C: Night Lords and write the little bits of fluff

Hi,

 

Great work on the Dornian heresy!

Just one thing though, and I admit I have not read all replys so I am not sure if it has been adressed.

Wouldn't the 7th legion be Imperial fist and the 16th Luna wolves/sons of horus/black legion instead of 7th: black legion and 16th: black templars as put in the first post of this thread?

Since technically black templar are second founding anyway and the luna wolves were the 16th legion in any case.

More over all the other legions in the dornian heresy have kept the same numbers as in the regular "history".

 

Best Regards.

Can't wait for volume 2

[Skirax]

Here's an idea for World Eaters: Character's 'Chapter Tactics' is that any Tactical Marines may replace their Boltguns with Close Combat Weapons?

[paspinall]

Started the World Eater 'counts-as' rules thread in the Rules section. :D

 

Feel free to drop in and chip in with ideas for Angron's boys - hopefully we will be able to come up with something that fits closely enough, and can act as a template for future Alt-legions. :)

 

 

It has got me thinking about the other legions too... and I thought that Thousand Sons would be a nice fit for the Thousand Sons... psychically talented, able to use their powers to augment their battlefield abilities, shrouding them from the view of their enemies, led by psychic sergeants (justicars) with force weaponry... small squads... it wouldn't cover the techmarines and apothecaries, but could be a good starting point, no? :P

 

Best I saw for the thousand sons, and apologies i have no idea who it was, was actually a thousand sons representation using the Necrons codex, unfortunatly its a primarily infantry force of course but so much of the necron rules just represented the various psychic powers. The lords of course being exceptionally powerful psykers.

The following Rules are edit or Adds

Legion Tactics: All units lose Combat Tactics and ATSKNF special rules. Instead the leadership of all units is increased by 1.

Gauss Weapons: All units that used Bolters or any other type of Ranged weapons will be replaced with Gauss Weapons or Bolters are now armed with Gauss Ammo which carries the same profile as Gauss Weaponry. No Unit in the Iron Hands Army may take any weapons other than Gauss Weapons or Gauss Ammo. *Exception* Other Weapons from Necrons 5th Codex are Allowed

Phase Technology – Iron Hand Units are able to teleport each turn

Reanimation Protocols –Is a model is removed form by as a casually, there is a chance that it will self repair and return to play at the end of the current phase. Roll D6, on a 1 – 4 the damage is to serve and noting happens but if on a 5 or 6, return to play with the unit it died from with one wound. At least one model from the unit must still be alive in order for any others form the unit to come back.

Ever-Living - Same as Reanimation Protocols but does not require a unit for it to join. Must be placed 3” form where it died.

Enropic Stike – Any model that suffers one or more unsaved wounds from a weapon or model with this special rule immediately loses its armor save for the reminder of the battle. In the case of Vehicles from this rule, roll a D6 on 4+ it loses 1 point of Armour Vaule from All Facings, If reduced to 0 on any facings it is immediately wrecked.

Living Metal – If a model with this rule suffers a crew shaken result roll a D6. One a roll of 1 the result is normal on 2+ the result is ignored. On crew shaken roll a D6 on a 1-3 hits as normal, on 4+ the result is ignored.

The Flesh is Weak: The Iron Hands venerate the mechanical over the flesh and treat Dreadnoughts and Terminator armor differently than other Chapters. The Iron Hands prefer to distribute this equipment throughout the Chapter - believing it provides greater inspiration to the Marines around them.

o Any units equipped with one or more suits of Terminator armor benefit from the Stubborn Universal Special Rule as described in the Universal Special Rules of the main rule book.

o Any unit with at least one model within 12" of a Venerable Dreadnought may re-roll any Morale or Pinning Checks.

 

• Clans of Medusa:

o Venerable Dreadnoughts may only be chosen as HQ selections.

o An Iron Hands army may not select Chaplains, but may select Iron-Fathers instead (see below).

o Any Master of the Forge or Techmarine equipped with a power weapon may exchange it for a relic blade for +15 points.

o Iron Hands Servitors are constructed with combat in mind. Use the profile, costs and options below for all units of Servitors.

o The Sergeant of any Tactical Squad may replace his bolter and/or his bolt pistol with a thunder hammer for +30 points.

o Any Sergeant equipped with a Gauss bolter and power sword or power fist may exchange his power armor for Terminator armor for free.

o Iron Hands armies may not choose Terminator Squads or Terminator Assault Squads as Elites selections. However, a Captain may select one of these units in place of a Command Squad.

All Weapons in the Necrons Codex Wargear selection are allowed

Type - Immobile.

Crew - None.

Structure points - 2.

 

Weapons - Particle Accelerator OR Gauss Flux Arc Projector.

Transport - 0.

 

Special Rules

 

Living Metal

The Pylon is constructed of the same living Necron metal as the Monolith, capable of self-repairing and adapting its structure to resist incoming attacks.

Attacks which count the target's armour as being less than it really is (such as bright lancers and blasters) do not do so against the Pylon. Similarly, weapons that get additional Armour Penetration dice (such as chainfists, Monstrous Creatures or Melta weapons) do not get the extra dice against the Pylon.

Ordnance weapons still roll 2D6 for Armour Penetration and select the highest score.

 

Deep Strike

A Necron attack can be supported by Pylons teleporting to the surface.

When defending a tombworld dormant Pylons can suddenly rise from the ground to engage trespassers.

A Pylon may therefore be deployed by Deep Strike if the special rules for the mission being played allow it.

Because of the Pylons size it is not destroyed if there is an enemy within 1" when it arrives. Instead move any models that are in the way the minimum distance necessary to make space for the Pylon.

A Pylon that lands in impassable terrain is not destroyed but takes an immediate glancing hit.

Move the Pylon the minimum distance possible to avoid the dangerous terrain. If the scenario does not use the Deep Strike special rule then the Pylon must set up with the rest of the army as normal.

 

Damage Effects

Roll to damage the Pylon on the super-heavy tank damage tables. As the Pylon has no crew these tables are modified as follows;

Gun Crew Shaken result means that the Pylon can not fire one of its weapon modes next turn. Which mode is chosen by the opponent. The other weapon mode may fire normally.

Driver stunner and Engines damaged both have no effect on the Pylon, as it neither has a driver or an engine.

Each Field or Weapon Destroyed result reduces the Gauss Flux Arc by -1 shot, and also reduces the strength of the Particle Accelerator by -1.

 

Firing Modes: The Pylon can be used in one of two ways, either as a Gauss Flux Arc Projector or as a Particle Accelerator. Choose which mode the Pylon will use to fire before rolling any dice.

 

Gauss Flux Arc Projector

The Pylon unleashes blasts of energy arcing in all directions. It fires D6 shots at every enemy unit with a model within 12" of the Pylons base.

Range 12", Strength 5, AP 4, Type; Heavy D6 per unit.

 

Particle Accelerator

The Pylon focus' the energy into one particle beam, which carries a single powerful bolt. The Particle Accelerator is a larger version of the particle whip, capable of engaging targets at very long ranges and responding to any threat, whether it be ground targets or incoming aircraft.

Range 12-120", Strength 9, AP 3, Type; Ordnance 1/Blast, AA mount, Titan Killer.

Any model under the hole in the center of the template is hit with an AP1 attack. It is an Ordnance weapon and counts as an AA mount. Such are the weapons vast energies that it causes 1D3 Structure Points of damage per hit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ferrus Manus

WS:7 BS:6 S:5 T:5 W:4 I:6 A:5 Ld:10 Sv:2+ (4+)

 

Points: 400

 

Weapons: Artificer armour, Forgebreaker, Silver Hands,

Forgebreaker: Is a Legendary Thunderhammer that ignores Invulnerable Saves and rolls 2d6 for Armor Penetration.

 

Silver Hands or the Worm: Counts as 2 Dreadnought Close Combat Weapons

 

Special Rules:

Primarch: Ferrus Manus is one of the Emperor's Sons and as such benifits from the Primarch Special Rule.

 

Feats of Strength: Ferrus Manus did not become a great leader on the planet he was found on like the other Primarchs. Instead he was a vagabond, neutral in all of the local clan affairs and sought out physical tests to improve himself. Ferrus Manus benifits from a 4+ Invulnerable Save.

 

Overwhelming Rage: When Fulgrim attempted to turn him to Chaos, Ferrus Manus was enraged. It was in this great anger that he ignored the counsel of Vulkan and Corax and rushed into the massacre on Istavaan. At the beginning of each turn, Ferrus Manus must make a Leadership test. Should he fail, he and any unit he is attached to must move towards the nearest enemy unit. If an enemy unit is within 6" of Ferrus Manus he must Charge them during the Assault Phase.

 

Purge the Weak: Ferrus Manus was known to be a Primarch of unparalled duty. He lead his Legion into the heart of battle and crushed the enemies of the Imperium, whom he saw as weak. As long as he is alive, Ferrus Manus, and any squad of Iron Hands Space Marines in his army, hit enemy models with a Leadership value of 8 or less on a 3+ in close combat.

You may have wanted to let this thread die.

[Azarias]

You may have wanted to let this thread die.

 

Why? A quick browse of the stuff he's written proves it to be interesting. I can't really comment on it, as I'm unfamiliar with the Necrons' new codex, but those more learned than I can probably make more apt criticisms thereof. Besides, this thread's resurrection (We'll be back?) is practically inevitable - when the second half of the Dornian Heresy is released, people are going to be suddenly interested in it again.

[Crimson Hawk]

Here's my contribution- The Thousand Sons.

SPECIAL RULES

Brotherhood Of Pskers

A unit with this special rule are pskers. A Thousand sons unit may use one Psycic power per turn, unless otherwise stated.

-A unit using a Psycic shooting attack must nominate one member of the squad before using the Psycic power. This is the model 'casting' it, so this model may not shoot normally, but the rest of the squad may. If a perils of the warp is rolled, the casting model is automatically the sufferer.

-A Thousand Sons unit uses the leadership of it's Seargent (if he is alive) or the unit ( if he is dead, or the unit has used a Psycic shooting attack). A Thousand Sons unit can never use the leadership of an independent charecter for Psycic tests.

-If the Thousand Sons unit suffers a Perils of the Warp from a non-shooting Psycic power, or any attack that specifically targets Psykers, it it resolved against the Seargent ( if he is alive) or the squad if he is dead.

 

Cult Master

A model with this special rule knows all the powers of his cult.

Psychic Matery Levels

This is shown in brackets after the Psker special rule. For each Mastery Level a model has, he can use one power per turn. If the mastery level is not shown, assume the unit has Matsery Level 1

Cult Dicipline

Every unit in the Thousand Sons Army belongs to one of the cults if the Legion. When selecting Psycic powers for units, choose which cult they belong to. Each cult has access to different powers. Note that Thousand Sons Techmarines and

Apothecaries automatically belong to the Pavoni Cult( the apothecary is Pavoni, even if the Command Squad chooses a

different cult- the apothecary casts his Psycic powers seperately, and suffers perils of the warp separately.

Sorry for the wall of text. This is my work on DH Thousand Sons. More to come, if this goes down well!

[Veteran Sergeant]

The only really difficult ones so far are going to be Ultramarines, Thousand Sons, and Iron Hands, because then you have to derive point values for Marines using entirely different kinds of weapons and armor. powers, and at different frequencies. Most of the chapters can be done "Counts As" because they are really nothing more than the equivalents of existing armies. I mean, what about the World Eaters doesn't fit exactly into Codex: Space Marines, for example?

[Crimson Hawk]

Well, no, when you think about it. The ultras can easily be represented (for the most part) by CSM as they follow the codex. As for TS and IH, as you can see, they weren't for legaleaglesurfer and myself, and if I can do it, anyone can :)
