Did we establish who the "left behind" EWs like Takar end up working closely with? If we say the Wardens of Light, that gives Meros something else to play with.

 

I also had a stab at fluff for Takar's warband in Blackshields, so that needs scrutiny at some point

Also, pending AO's approval, some ideas for the warband Takar of the Eagle Warriors ends up leading. Now, going back to his fluff for the Legion that was and extrapolating from what we've done since then, I'm thinking they'll retain the pride of the old Legion, and even some of Mexicatii, as a few of the generations drawn from that world were worthy Astartes and found themselves among Takar's Blackshields. Hence there's gold for the old Terran Legion, and green for Mexicatii. And on that note, I present the hypothetical Vengeful Eagles:

Hey just an idea for the drug addicted. If you roll a 1, every drug using unit has to fight agsinst the drawbacks of drugs. -2 movemenr, - 1 bs and -1a&-1I. So we have a paedagogic approach^^

 

While cool, this would totally ruin their cost though, they would be overly expensive with a drawback besides only triggering 50% of the time

You could follow the route for longer. Those who are long time addicted will get the drawback at 3-. We have a Responsibility to show that drugs are evil. Gloryfying drugs and only show their advantages is a bad sign for the youth. What if you play against a kid? They will think "oh wow, the drugs make him way stronger" and later they try it and become addicted and suffer the drawbacks. Can you live with that guilt? At least you should provide your younger adversaries with drug infomaterial and have a disclaimer: DRUGS ARE BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH!!!

 

 

By the way, how does the power javelin work?

While I do agree with you, but these are the specialized drugs the egale warriors use, the combat drugs, they are named drug masters for a reason, fluff wise sure, rule wise even more drawbacks? Idk..

I guess you didn't read the profile?

Looks good for the moment, but the wording for "unexpected" needs to change - as it stands, the models always have to move towards the closest unit which is a major disadvantage, and it completely negates the hit and run rule (if they're already in combat, they can't actually disengage when moving towards the closest enemy unit)

It's hard to keep track of what we've settled on for EWs lore. Does my idea that Alexos stumbles across a Warp outbreak, and that sets off his quest for the truth, currently fit? I feel it'd be better than him just having visions, which is a rather passive way to go about it.
