Special Rules
Mawcannon: Range 120", S-D, AP-1, Heavy 1, Large Blast

Animal Fury: The Machine Spirit that inhabits the Cerberus has seen so much combat that has reverted to more animal instincts that is has inherited from its chapter, the Space Wolves. If at any point its crew is stunned or shaken and the Cerberus has LOS of an enemy unit, the Cerberus will move 12" towards the nearest enemy unit and fire all of its weapons except the Mawcannon at that unit. It will continue this method of attack until its crew can regain control or it is destroyed. Note that the Cerberus can Tank Shock units in its rage.

History
The Space Wolves were in orbit over the Forgeworld Manasseh VII after a small scale attack from Chaos Forces on a nearby moon. They were refueling their Battlebarges before could on to join the Sabbat Worlds Crusade. However, before they departed, Logan Grimnar left a full Great Company commanded by Edgar Ironwolf. Only a few weeks after the main battle group departed for the front, Chaos battle cruisers arrived in orbit. At this time, the forgeworld had been constructing a new battleship laser called the Mawcannon to be refitted into the Space Wolves' Battlebarges for testing when they came back to collect their Great Company. Only three prototype cannons were functioning when Chaos ships arrived and they began their landing of several corrupt Titan Legios. Faced against such odds, Ironwolf ordered that the three functioning Mawcannons to be retrofitted into his Land Raiders and that all war machines to go out to face the Titans on the lava-crusted surface and acid-choked air of Manasseh VII. Doing so required huge generators to power the cannon and the companies Iron Priests had to strip out the Lascannons, Heavy Bolters, and the Front Access Ramp. The Mawcannon was placed out the front of the Land Raider and the Heavy Bolters were transferred to the sponsons to replace the Lascannons. Thirteen Titans were met in battle by the company's new Land Raiders and four Vindicator Line Breaker Squadrons. At the loss of twelve Vindicators, the Titans were stopped and the Mawcannons were a resounding success to be used exclusively by the Space Marines newly christened Land Raider Cerberus.

[Hyper Kinetic]

To add a bit of logic to the game, how about changing the way a few things are done?
For example, a common joke is that you roll to hit, then to wound but then you get your Saves (eg Cover or Armour).
Obviously, this is a little silly:
"Ha! I hit you and took your arm off... what do you mean 'Armour Save'?"

So try it so that you Hit, then Armour/Cover/Inv saves, then Wounding rolls. Probably changes very little, but at least it is a more logical progression of a shot/attack (and you can do a little progression of the shots finding their target, then piercing the armour, then performing their dastardly deeds on the suckers involved in your head).

[J.Dogg]

But then, a chaplain (for example will get a 2+ save(artificer armour), a 4+ inv- save (rosarius)
And a 5+ save(for example) from the woods, he would be pretty invincible.

[Hyper Kinetic]

Because it's not like he isn't now
The general rule would stay the same (ie you take only one save if you have multiple saves to choose from), but you take the saving throw before you attempt wounding them. Statistically it all works out the same anyway, but this way it is more logical.

A buzzer squad has a size of a large blast template and moves D6 in the direction of the owner's choosing. Unlike most squads a buzzer squad can move over or into them without assaulting, and cannot assault. Any infantryunit caught under it's radius at the end of any players movement phase suffers a S9 hit with no armour saves allowed. The buzzer squad can be shot at normally. Buzzers can do no damage to tanks whatsoever, but can damage units exiting from a tank.

[christars]

So, a buddy decided to start with Titans, preferably a Legion of them. As he claimed to have the guts to even make an Emperor (!) Titan (which is the chassis, by the way, while the Imperator is the most common payload, Hellstorm Cannon and Plasma Annihilator, while the Warmonger has the Vengeance Cannon and Doomstrike Missiles), I decided that it would be sad if he didn't have some rules.

Note that these rules are inspired by Epic, and so are slightly / a lot different from some of the GW rules at some points.

I'll probably edit to make it look nicer later, but now little bro' wants the computer for Oblivion.




Codex: Titan Legions v1.0

The God-Engines

Their thread the thread of doom, their wrath the wrath of gods, their weapons mighty enough to bring down entire armies. Giants clad in metal, their arms launching forth the Omnissiah’s divine wrath; the Titan Legions at war are all but unstoppable. The mightiest constructs of Mankind are few and rarely assembled, but when they are, they are a fighting force to bring fear even into the hearts of the boldest. To see engines the size of mountains; to behold the sheer carnage even a single salvo wrecks; many opponents flee in terror rather than face these venerable, dreadful machines.

Traitors

Although Titans are primarily seen as the weapons of the Empire, not all serve the Emperor. Some have forsaken His Light for the dreadful powers of the Dark Gods; these Titans will be terrible to behold, sprouting daemonic growths and weapons mutated by the powers of Chaos.

Although rare, there are some Titans who, for various reasons, serve neither the Imperium nor the Ruinous Powers. They may seek knowledge and ally with the technological Tau or the adept Eldar, as all Adeptus Mechanicus live to gather knowledge, no matter how it is obtained; Orks may have captured them and, practical as they are, will be willing to use these new “toys” despite the fact that they probably won’t be able to control them, or other events may have happened.

The Legions at War

Titan Legions are rarely seen as a single fighting force due to the rarity of each of these God-Engines; usually, they will be sent one and one, or occasionally two or three, to a hotly contested zone. Managing to coerce the Adeptus Mechanicus to give you but a single Warhound for a limited amount of time is difficult enough, let alone how nigh-on impossible it is to call in a venerable Reaver or mighty Warlord. Only the most extreme occasions will bring the Adeptus Titanicus together as a single fighting force, but when they do, the world shivers under their thread.

Type: Super-Heavy Walker, 3 Structure Points, 2 Void Shields.

Weapons: 2 arm-mounted Scout Weapons (180° fire arc, main weapon)

Options: Veteran Princeps at +50 points, Titan Tech Priest at +50 points.

Agile: The Warhound may fire only one weapon and fleet D6” that turn, or it may fire no weapons at all and fleet 2D6” that turn.

Plasma Reactor: The Warhound is powered by a powerful plasma reactor; in the case of an explosion, the plasma will overheat and explode spectacularly. If an Apocalyptic Explosion! is rolled on the Catastrophic Damage Table, all models within 3D6” suffer a Strength D AP 2 hit rather than a Strength 9 AP 2 hit. If the Warhound has chosen any Plasma Blastguns, then if it explodes, place a flamer template with the thin end on (each of) the Plasma Blastgun(s) and apply the same effect to any models under the template (the template is pointing the direction the Plasma Blastgun last shot, or, if it has not been shot yet or no one remembers which way it was shot, roll a scatter die for direction).

Type: Super-Heavy Walker, 6 Structure Points, 4 Void Shields.

Options: Veteran Princeps at +50 points, Titan Tech Priest at +150 points, Inspiring Relic at +50 points, Carapace Mulitlasers at +50 points.

(Relatively) Agile: The Reaver may fire with only two weapons one turn and fleet D6” that turn.

Plasma Reactor: The Reaver is powered by a massive plasma reactor; in the case of an explosion, the plasma will overheat and explode spectacularly. If an Apocalyptic Explosion! is rolled on the Catastrophic Damage Table, all models within 5D6” suffer a Strength D AP 2 hit rather than a Strength 9 AP 2 hit within 3D6”. If the Reaver has chosen any Plasma Megacannons and/or Plasma Destructors, then if it explodes, place a Hellstorm template with the thin end on (each of) the Plasma Megacannon(s) and/or Plasma Destructor(s) and apply the same effect to any models under the template (the template is pointing the direction the Plasma Megacannon(s)and/or Plasma Destructor(s) last shot, or, if it has not been shot yet or no one remembers which way it was shot, roll a scatter die for direction).

Carapace Reactor: The Reaver is built so that its reactor is housed in its carapace rather than in its middle section. While this makes the Reaver more resilient towards attacks from the front, it also makes it more vulnerable towards rear attacks and air strikes. Hits against the Reaver’s rear and from aircraft gain a +1 modifier on the Super-Heavy Damage Table; furthermore, if a hit from the rear or from an aircraft destroys the Reaver, apply a +2 modifier to the Catastrophic Damage Table roll.

On the other hand, this placement also makes the Reaver much more resillient against frontal fire, which is ideal as the Reaver was mainly conceived as an artillery Titan. Thus, all attacks against the Reaver's front suffer a -1 modifier on the Super-Heavy Damage Table. Also, if a hit from the front destroys the Reaver, apply a -1 modifier to the Catastrophic Damage Table roll.

Options: Legate at +100 points, Veteran Princeps at +50 points, Titan Tech Priest at +200 points, Inspiring Relic at +50 points, Carapace Multilasers at +50 points.

Plasma Reactor: The Warlord is powered by an immense plasma reactor; in the case of an explosion, the plasma will overheat and explode spectacularly. If an Apocalyptic Explosion! is rolled on the Catastrophic Damage Table, all models within 6D6” suffer a Strength D AP 2 hit rather than a Strength 9 AP 2 hit within 3D6”. If the Warlord has chosen any Plasma Megacannons and/or Plasma Destructors, then if it explodes, place a Hellstorm template with the thin end on (each of) the Plasma Megacannon(s) and/or Plasma Destructor(s) and apply the same effect to any models under the template (the template is pointing the direction the Plasma Megacannon(s) and/or Plasma Destructor(s) last shot, or, if it has not been shot yet or no one remembers which way it was shot, roll a scatter die for direction).

Shaker of the Earth: The Warlord is one of the most immense creations to walk the earth. All models (even friendly) within 6” of the Warlord’s movement path must test for pinning, even if they are Fearless or otherwise immune to Leadership tests, as the earth shakes and footing is lost. Vehicles, Flyers, Monstrous and Gargantuan creatures are not affected.

Type: Super-Heavy Walker, 18 Structure Points, 8 Void Shields.

Weapons: 2 arm-mounted Super Arm Weapons (180° fire arc, 24” minimum range, main weapon (3+ save)), 4 carapace-mounted Super Carapace Weapons (90° fire arc, minimum range 36”, main weapon (5+ save)), 1 Auxiliary Weapon, 4 Forward-Mounted Heavy Bolters (90° fire arc), 3 Rear-Mounted Heavy Bolters (90° fire arc (rear)).

Options: Legate at +100 points, Titan Tech Priest at +500 points (Veteran Princeps may not be chosen, as the Princeps already is a veteran – and not even that can make an Emperor Class Titan agile).

Transport: 30 in each leg, 50 on top (the 50 on top are not transported per se; they are independent of the Emperor, can shoot freely, and are in 4+ cover as well as being immune to fire as long as the Emperor has any Void Shields left. They may disembark, but only if they start doing so one turn and do nothing that turn or the next, finishing disembarking at the end of the second turn).

Fire Points: 10 in each leg. The Emperor does NOT count as open-topped regardless of embarked models firing.

Exit Points: All models in the legs may disembark to any point within 2” of the leg, and count as moving (so they cannot move more, but they can charge, fire assault weapons and so on). Models in the legs may also Counter-Charge to defend the Titan; if it is charged, you can place any model from the legs in the path of the chargers within 2” of the Titan’s legs; if the enemy can’t reach the Titan, it will only charge the disembarked models. This cannot be done against Super-Heavy Walkers and Gargantuan Creatures, as nothing can stand in their way.

Steps of a Titan: The Emperor is not very agile or maneuvrable; as it's steps land slowly, and, when they have begun, unchangeably, every step must be planned well. The Emperor may not move normally, but instead must declare where it will move one turn, but NOT move that turn, then move there in the next, even if the controlling player has redecided by then. The point the Emperor wants to move to must be between 12" and 18" away from the Emperor. If the Emperor has suffered one Drive Damaged result, it must wait one additional turn before moving (so it decides where it will move to, waits that turn and the next, then moves there). If it suffers two Drive Damaged or one or more Driver Stunned results, it will not be able to either plan or move that turn (but if it already has planned to move somewhere, it must do so whenever it can so).

Plasma Reactor: The Emperor is powered by a gigantic plasma reactor; in the case of an explosion, the plasma will overheat and explode like a small sun. If an Apocalyptic Explosion! is rolled on the Catastrophic Damage Table, all models within 10D6” suffer a Strength D AP 2 hit rather than a Strength 9 AP 2 hit within 3D6”. If the Emperor has chosen any Plasma Annihilators and/or Plasma Destructors, then if it explodes, place a Hellstorm template with the thin end on (each of) the Plasma Annihilator(s) and/or Plasma Destructor(s) and apply the same effect to any models under the template (the template is pointing the direction the Plasma Megacannon(s) and/or Plasma Destructor(s) last shot, or, if it has not been shot yet or no one remembers which way it was shot, roll a scatter die for direction).

A God Walks the Earth: The Emperor is immense; God-like, its every step levels hills and crushes stone. The very earth shatters under its incredible weight. To represent this, any unit, friend or foe, within 18” of the Emperor’s movement path must test for pinning, even if they are Fearless (vehicles test at the base leadership of the army). Models within 12” suffer a -1 modifier to Leadership, while models within 6” suffer a -2 modifier to Leadership. Enemy models always suffer this modifier (for all tests), but friendly models only suffer this modifier for this test. Fearless models do not suffer these negative modifiers, due to their coordination/self-control/crazed frenzy. Gargantuan Creatures, Super-Heavy Vehicles and Flyers are not affected.

God-Engine: To have but a single Emperor at your side is a fantastic boost to morale; thus, all models in an army which contains an Emperor gain +1 Leadership for each Emperor. Any friendly models within 24” are Fearless. However, if the Emperor were to fall, despair would bite like poison. If the Emperor is destroyed, then all friendly models lose the +1 modifier and instead get a -1 modifier. Furthermore, when the Emperor falls, all friendly models must immediately take a Leadership test (this does not apply to Fearless models, but it applies to vehicles; test with base leadership for the army. Vehicles which fail the test do not fall back, but are inactive the next turn as their crew mills about in confusion. Super-heavy vehicles may attempt Damage Control).

Titan Legions Special Rules

Apocalyptic Scale Army: Titan Legions aren’t deployed to counter minor threats; they are used when the conflict has escalated to such levels that even the massed firepower of the Imperial Guard isn’t enough. As such, Titan Legions lists may only be used for Apocalypse battles, and all limitations in this list DO apply to them, even in Apocalypse scale battles, where limitations usually are ignored.

Titan Combat Resolution: Although Titan’s will never bother with infantry long enough to get locked (after all, it can easily walk away), they can get locked up in a conflict with another Titan size foe. When Gargantuan Creatures and / or Super-Heavy Walkers charge each other, they will enter Titan Close Combat. Weapons without scatter effect may still fire at any of the combatants as long as the friendly Titan is not in line of fire too (weapons with scatter effect and with a line of fire which, if it misses the enemy, hits the Titan, can’t fire, because no Techpriest would order the artillery to do something with even a slight chance of damaging a Titan). Otherwise, treat this as a normal combat. When the Assault phase is over, apply the following: Each Titan rolls 2D6 and chooses the highest score. In addition, add +1 for each result caused on the enemy which was not Gun Crew Shaken or Driver Shaken, or +1 for each wound caused against Gargantuan Creatures. The Titan with the lowest must turn on the spot and move 3D6” straight away from the enemy. The enemy also moves up to 3D6”, and, if it catches the opponent, immediately causes D3 Structure points of damage or D6 wounds. After that, they are locked again if both survived. No effect which doesn't specifically affect Titan Close Combat Resolution ever affects Titan Close Combat Resolution (so having a Space Marines Standard Bearer close to a Titan Close Combat has no effect).

Reaver Rarity: The Reaver class Titan is becoming increasingly rare, as the techniques required to construct them are slowly being lost. Thus, you may only include one Reaver class Titan per 5000 points of battle being played.

Emperor Rarity: The Emperor Class Titan is extremely rare; to have one is incredible, to have two is almost unthinkable and to have three is something most Titan Legions can but dream of. As such, you may only include a single Emperor class Titan per 25 000 points of battle being played.

Carapace Landing Pad: Dedicated artillery Titans are often accompanied by a Land Speeder which uses the Carapace Pad as base. The Land Speeder is not armed, but carries advanced scanned equipment, allowing it to range before the Titan and give vital targeting information, allowing blind firing (note that instead of a Land Speeder, there may be an antenna, satellite dish, vox array or such wise). Only a single Carapace Landing pad may be taken per Titan, and it can only be taken as a carapace mount. A Titan with a Carapace Landing Pad may opt to fire all weapons with a * after their range (like the Inferno Gun) as Ordnance Barrage weapons with a minimum range of 36” and a maximum range of twice the normal range (so the mentioned Inferno Gun would be G36”-72”). The weapons may still be fired normally.

Corvus Assault Pod: Although a weapon in name, the Corvus is much more of a heavy transport, able to carry a crack team of warriors, usually Praetorian Combat Servitors, into the thick of the battle. It has a transport value of 30, with no fire points or exit points. In the shooting phase, the Corvus may be “shot”, targeted at open ground or an enemy unit. After it has been shot, leave the model in place. It will from now follow these rules:

Corvus Assault Pod

Points N/A
BS 2
Front Armour 13
Side Armour 13
Rear Armour 13

Type: War Engine, 2 Structure Points, Immobile, immune to "Crew Shaken" and "Crew Stunned" (it doesn't have a crew, only a lesser Machine Spirit)

Weapons: 4 Twin-linked Heavy Bolters, each mounted in a 90° fire arc (one front, one right, one rear, one left)

Transport: 30

Fire Points: None

Exit Points: One (underbelly hatch)

Wrecker: The Wrecker is a massive spiked ball at the end of a heavy metal chain. A single swing of this enormous wrecker can destroy a bunker, pulverize a war engine and knock down a Titan. If an enemy model lands under the hole of the blast marker, apply the following: Against Vehicles, it will gain a +1 modifier on the Damage Table roll. Against War Engines, it will automatically deal D3 additional Structure Points of damage; against immobile War Engines, Bunkers or other fortifications it will deal D6 additional Structure Points of damage; against Super-Heavy Walkers it will knock them down on a roll of a 5+ (as well as delivering the additional D3 Structure Points of damage), and against Gargantuan Creatures and other models immune to Instant Death it will deal D6 wounds (instead of 1, not in addition).

VORTEX: Exactly as in Apocalypse. Note that Void Shields and Power Fields (and such, but not Eldar Holofields or other "save"-shields) work as Stucture Points for the purposes of damage from Vortex (so if a Vortex weapon hits a Warhound Titan with Void Shields up, and rolls 2 damage, both shields will be knocked down but the Warhound will suffer no damage).

Slow Firing: Some weapons fire slowly, either due to the extreme heat created by them firing, the long time they take to reload or such. Therefore, a slow firing weapon may only fire an amount of shots equal to its maximum nuber of shots minus the number of shots it fire last turn (it fired no shots before the battle started). So, a Plasma Destructor which fired 3 shots one turn would be able to fire 1 shot next turn, 3 the next and so on. If it fired 4 shots, it would be able to fire no shots at all the next turn and then 4 again. Such weapons may always elect to shoot fewer shots than they are able to "save" them for next turn.

A Titan Falls: Whenever a Titan is destroyed (but does not explode or such wise), it will probably fall down, although it is not unheard of for it to stand in place, a dead husk over the battle. If a Titan is destroyed (but does not explode; we have been through this already) roll a D6. On a 1-2 it stands still; just leave the thing there, blocking line of sight and whatnot. On a 3-6, roll a Scatter Die; the Titan will fall in that direction (if it is a hit, the Titan collapses in place; any models within (1 for Warhound, 2 for Reaver, 3 for Warlord, 5 for Emperor) D6” suffer a S8 AP4 hit. If an arrow is rolled, GENTLY tilt the Titan and lay it GENTLY in the direction. Any models under it may immediately move up to their maximum move (including fleet, but may not move (or fleet or so) next turn) to get out of the way. If they succeed, they are unaffected; if they fail, they suffer a S9 AP3 hit which entangles (as with destroyed transports). If a Titan stands on the spot, then it may be attacked again by enemy fire (not friendly, no Tech Priest would blah blah blah). If it suffers a GLANCING hit (not penetrating), then roll again on the D6 to see if it falls over.

If a Titan falls down for other reasons than being destroyed (Wrecker or such) it will suffer 2D6 glancing hits as it hits the ground. It may not get up again, but if it survives, it will be immobile (no repairs are allowed, as even the best Tech Pries would not be able to lift something like that without super-heavy grade lifting machinery) and counts its front fire arc as the arc pointing from the top of its head or from its face.

Titan Weapons: Although of course anyone would prefer a Warlord with 4 Plasma Destructors over one with 4 Plasma Megacannons, this is not possible. Assault and Support weapons are relatively rare, and all Titans must be equipped with at least one Tactical weapon for flexibility. Thus, for Reavers and Warlords (but not Warhounds and Emperors), the following rules apply:

Each Battle Titan must have at least 1 Tactical Weapon.

At least 50%, rounding up, of all available weapon slots must be Tactical weapons.

Example: You could have a Reaver with Carapace Landing Pad and two Quake Cannons and a Warlord with two Vulcan Mega Bolters, a Volcano Cannon and a Gatling Blaster. You could NOT have a Warlord with four Plasma Destructors and a Reaver with three Vulcan Mega Bolters (both because the Warlord has no Tactical weapons and because fewer than 50% of all available weapon slots are Tactical).

Carapace Multilasers: Larger Titans who are expected to enter the fray are often fitted with several minor weapons systems to keep them safe from infantry assaults. Among these are the Carapace Multilasers. These rapid-firing weapons are able to track enemy infantry and do serious damage even to light vehicles. They are also mounted to give at least some modicum of protection against airborne foes. The Carapace Multilasers do NOT count as weapons for the purposes of how many Tactical and non-tactical weapons a Battle Titan has.

Multilasers Range 36” S6 AP6 Type Heavy 6, twin-linked, AA-mounted, 90° fire arc (front)

Veteran Princeps: Some Princeps who have crewed their Titans for a long time become as one with the Titan; the Titans will, as a result, move more fluently; more like humans than like machines. Titans with a Veteran Princeps add +2 to their Initiative, Weapon Skill and Attack values.

Titan Tech Priest: Only specially trained Titan Tech Priests have a chance of repairing Titans, and these are rare. Getting enough Tech Priests for the larger Titans is difficult, as you need a large amount of Tech Priests to repair damage to a Warlord! That aside, Titan Tech Priests count as a single Tech Priest which will repair an Armament Destroyed or Drive Damaged result on a roll of a 6+ each turn. If the Titan is performing Damage Control, then the Tech Priest will repair on a 4+ rather than a 6+ that turn.

Please understand why this costs 500 points for an Emperor.

Legate: The leader of an Adeptus Titanicus Combat group is called the Legate; these revered individuals are veterans of many wars, and quite often, their minds will be almost completely merged with that of their Titan (which is invariably among the biggest). Additionally, extra weapon systems will usually be fitted to better protect them. Only one legate may be taken per army. The Legate adds +1 to the Titan’s Weapon Skill, Initiative and Attack values (this may be combined with the Veteran Princeps for Warlords; after all, Veteran Legates are even better!). Also, add +1 to the Titan Close Combat Resolution score of a Titan with a Legate. In addition, add this weapon to the Titan:

Defense Turrets Range 18” S10 AP1 Type Heavy 2, 90° fire arc

Inspiring Relic: Some Titans carry relics; large banners, sacred weapons, enormous cogs or something similar. All servants of the Omnissiah will feel brave by just staying close. All friendly models within 18” of the Titan get +1 Leadership and +1 to their Combat Resolution (also applies to the Titan in Titan Combat Resolution). Note that Inspiring Relics may either be chosen as an upgrade, paid for in points but without taking any weapon slots, or they can be taken as a Tactical weapon, costing no points but allowing one less weapon to be taken. Regardless, each Titan may only have one Inspiring Relic.

Devotional Bell: Often, one Warlord Titan will be appointed as the Custodian; a walking shrine to the Emperor and Omnissiah. These Titans are usually marked out by the enormous bells on their back. These bells are made out of sacred metal, carefully inscribed, anointed with a drop of the Emperor’s own blood. They are finely tuned to produce a sound which is uplifting to mortal ears and terrifying for Daemons. As such, all friendly models within 18” of the Warlord’s movement path or otherwise within 18” of the Warlord itself are Fearless for that turn only and get +1 to their combat resolution (this affects the Warlord itself too). Furthermore, any Daemons within this range must immediately test for Instability. Lastly, as the Titan’s crew is driven by religious fervour, the Warlord may move an additional D6” each turn, and may charge an additional D6”, as well as pursuing an extra D6" if it wins Titan Close Combat. However, due to the Titan being unable to turn quickly in order not to harm the bell, it only flees 2D6" away from Titan Close Combat if it loses.

Lysander Fighter: The Lysander is a small aircraft which sometimes operates along with Emperor class Titans. They use the following profile, and operate independenly:

Lysander

Points N/A
BS 3
Front Armour 10
Side Armour 10
Rear Armour 10

Type: Flyer

Weapons: 2 AA Assault cannons, 1 twin Heavy Bolter.


Fire Control Centre: Sometimes, precision is required, in which case the Emperor class Titan has a Fire Control Centre fitted instead of a Carapace Weapon. The Fire Control Centre allows any rolls to hit or for scatter for ONE weapon system per turn to be re-rolled.

Gleep!

Dynamite poles

Armies (that can use it): orks, Imperial guard, chaos (lost & dammned)

If a unit with dynamite assaults, place a small blast template over a model of the attacker's choice. The dynamite is counted as having str 6, AP 3. If the assaulters attack a unit in cover then the initiative bonus for being behind cover is discounted in addition to the explosion.

SPECIAL RULES
Psycher Attack: A Psychic Screamer with this power may attack any Psycher it has a line of sight to given it passes a Psychic Test. Both sides roll 2d6 and check the result. If one side has 12 or 2, it takes an automatic wound with no saves of any kind, as the other mercilessly calls a demon or something similar onto it. Otherwise, add the leadership to both, and whoever has the highest causes a Perils of the Warp on the other. If they both have 12 or 2, they both suffer Perils of the Warp. Note that you may still make invurnerable saves on Perils of the warp, but not on the normal win.
