Yep, those help immensely-- thank you.  What is the bit that you have mounted the winged angel shrine on top of?   That tank is freaking awesome, I love all the details on it.

"Ryza" pattern Hellstrider 165pt

More like a walking Leman Russ battle tank than a knight the Hellstider is a duel seat stable fire platform. STC design dated to long before the dark age of technology it is now a rare sight. Overtaking by the more agile and versatile knights the Hellstrider is now mostly used as a ceremonial guard by certain factions of the mechanicum. The Ryza pattern in particular is know to only have a couple of working tanks left, losing most of their brethren to the wars of the Horus Heresy.

Stercus' Lacerator pattern Suppression Tank

Fluff and Rules

  Reveal hidden contents

The Lacerator-pattern is a development of the more common rhino-hulled vindicator tank. It is not recorded which forge world first produced this variant or in what numbers, but what is certain is that by the later stages of the 41st millennium, it is a vanishingly rare sight on the battlefield. It is believed that no Lacerators have been built since the end of the great crusade, with those few relics that survive being cannibalised for parts to keep them running.

The vehicle appears to be a modification to the STC vindicator pattern whereby the ventrally mounted demolisher cannon is replaced with a high-speed rotary autocannon similar to that deployed on the Leman Russ Punisher used by the Astra Militarum. In addition, it is usual practice to fit sponsons equipped with either twin linked heavy bolters or multiple bolt gun arrays.

This vehicle uses massed firepower and an extreme rate of fire to carve apart enemy infantry formations and is especially effective in close cover where accuracy is less important than suppressing fire.

Unit: 1 "Lacerator" pattern tank. 140 points.

Type: Vehicle

BS Front Side Rear HP

4 13 11 10 3

Transport capacity: zero.

Wargear:

1 hull mounted Lacerator cannon.

Smoke launchers

1 pintle mounted storm bolter

Options:

May take a pair of side sponsons equipped with twin linked heavy bolters or hurricane bolters for 30 points.

May replace its storm bolter with a heavy flamer for free, or a multimelta for 10 points.

May take a siege shield for 10 points.

May take extra armour for 10 points.

Weapons: Range str ap type

Lacerator cannon. 24" 5 - Heavy 20

A single Lacerator may be taken as a Heavy Support choice by any space marine detachment. This includes Blood Angels, Dark Angels, Space Wolves, Grey Knights and any detachment using chapter tactics from Codex:Space Marines or the subsequently published Forge World chapter tactics list.

A single Lacerator may be taken as a Heavy Support choice by a detachment chosen from Codex:Chaos Space Marines with the following changes:

A Lacerator taken as part of a Chaos Space Marine detachment may not be equipped with hurricane bolter sponsons, and its pintle mounted storm bolter must be replaced with a combi-weapon as described in Codex: Chaos Space Marines. This combi-weapon may be replaced with a heavy flamer or multimelta as per the unit entry above.

Brother Casman's Field Shrine Tank

Adeptus Astartes Reclusiam Field Shrine

The Reclusiam Field Shrine is a secret, and consequently rare, modification of the Razorback transport, known only to the Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes. The Field Shrine is a combination of pulpit, reliquary, and pseudo-transport used when Chapter companies are on extended deployments. In this way, the Chapter's Reclusiam works to ensure that even their farthest flung brethren receive the spiritual guidance they need, on and off the battlefield. To that end, the Field Shrine carries a small selection of relics of the Chapter and deployed companies into battle, carefully chosen by the attendant Chaplain. The turret mounted weapon of the former Razorback is integrated into a pulpit from which the Chaplain's sermons are broadcast across the battlefield, exhorting his brothers to greater feats of valour.

Field Shrine: 80 points
BS: 4
FA: 11
SA: 11
RA: 10
HP: 3
Unit Type: Tank, Transport
Transport Capacity: 1 model. It may not carry models with the Bulky, Very Bulky, or Extremely Bulky rules.
The Field Shrine may be taken as a dedicated transport for any 1 Chaplain (or equivalent) in the army.

Wargear:
- Smoke Launchers
- Searchlight
- turret mounted twin-linked heavy bolter.

Options:
- exchange the turret heavy bolter for: twin-linked lascannon: +25 points

Special Rules:
Open Pulpit, Fiery Orator, Reliquary.

Open Pulpit: While the Field Shrine is not truly open-topped, the Chaplain is nonetheless exposed in the pulpit. He may fire a ranged weapon, and he may be hit, both as if the vehicle were open-topped.

Fiery Orator: Space Marine units that start their turn within 12" of the Field Shrine, and have the same Chapter Tactics (or equivalent) as the embarked Chaplain, gain the Zealot special rule for the rest of that player turn.

Reliquary: If the Field Shrine is ever destroyed, mark its former location on the battlefield. This becomes an additional objective in missions that use objectives, however, it is always a "nothing of note" result on the mysterious objectives table. In missions with tactical objectives, the Space Marine player rolls a d6 and removes the associated objective from the game, replacing it with the new Field Shrine objective. If the mission does not use objectives, this rule does not apply.

Storm Eagle ‘Vengeance’ Pattern 295pts

Born in the wake of the heresy and destruction of Caliban, this secret Pattern was commissioned by the then Supreme Grand Master to aid the hunt for the traitorous “fallen” brothers. Based on similar concepts to the Harrier Jet of bygone history, this designs primary focus was to sweep into a battle zone, drop its cargo of “custodians” to capture their target, and be back in the air within minutes, fully loaded with Custodians and captive(s). This Pattern, with its retro fitted rotor blade design allowed for swift response and quick extraction. This combination of jet engine and rotor makes the Storm Eagle Vengeance able to pivot with un-paralleled precision to provide the covering firepower for its cargo. Armed for piercing the Power and Ceramite armour they would undoubtedly be facing, and equipped with ancient technology able to incarcerate their captives.

It will come as no surprise, to those with the knowledge, that this pattern of Storm Eagle was produced in large quantities by the Unforgiven, post the fall of Caliban utilising the ancient Technology saved deep within the Rock, but only a few remain in service today. Those that do remain are highly prized relics of the Chapter.

A Storm Eagle Vengeance is a Heavy Support choice for a Codex Dark Angels army.

Deathwing Vehicle
A Deathwing Vehicle has the Preferred Enemy (Chaos Space Marines) special rule, and if a Vehicle with this upgrade suffers a penetrating hit, you can make your opponent re-roll the result on the Vehicle Damage table. You must accept the second roll, even if it is worse than the first.

Independent Turret Fire

The Vengeance pattern Storm Eagle is equipped with two turrets which are capable of individual operation. So long as the Storm Eagle is eligible to fire a weapon in the Shooting phase, each turret weapon may fire at a target of its own and these weapons do not count towards the number of weapons the Predator may fire each turn.

Relic of the Armoury (non-Horus Heresy era only)

Vengeance pattern Storm Eagles are rare and highly valued war machines, and only a precious few remain.

They are held in such high regard that they are only ever committed to battle with the express blessing of the Chapter’s most senior officers, one of whom must oversee their deployment in person in order to ensure the relic is afforded all due respect and that the proper machine supplications are made. This is only ever in times when a high Fallen presence is identified.

One Relic of the Armoury may be taken in the army’s primary detachment, within the usual provisions of the army list. Further Relic vehicles may be chosen, in which case the detachment must also include a Keeper of Relics purchased as an HQ choice. This character must be an Interrogator-Chaplain from Codex: Dark Angels.

Porta-Rack Assault
The Storm Eagle Vengeance was designed to transport captured Fallen back to the Strike Cruisers for delivery to Cell 42 on the Rock for "interrogation". This rule is only applied to a Unit that kills an enemy character whilst performing an Assault from the Storm Eagle. That Unit then gains the Fear and Preferred Enemy special rules. In addition, your Army may now use any enemy teleport homers and locator beacons as if they were your own.
