Warriors – Warriors or Wyches

Warriors

Armour 4 (4)
Aggression 1 (1)

Wyches

Armour 3 (3)
Aggression 2 (1/2)

Combat Drugs: A unit of Wyches can select a myriad of drugs to enhance both the pleasure of combat and their endurance. Once per Game a unit of Wyches can use their combat drugs to remove D3 points of fatigue but take the same number of hits, roll one defence dice per hit as if from shooting. A unit of Wyches that uses combat drugs counts as having Armour 5 (3) for that turn.

Levy – None, slaves are for torturing to death not for fighting!

Supremacy Special Rule

The Dark Eldar fight not for land or gold but for slaves and pleasure. They target weak foes and tend to avoid more solid areas of resistance.

Dark Eldar Units get an extra Attack Dice in Melee for each “Tier” that they outrank their opponent. The Tiers are.

1. Warlord/Bigger than a Bipedal Creature
2. Hearthguard/Bi-Pedal Creature
3. Warrior
4. Levy

So if a Dark Eldar Warlord charged into some Imperial Guard Levy they would get an additional 3 Attack dice but if the same warlord charged a unit of warriors they would only get an additional 2 dice.

Power From Pain

The Dark Eldar survive by inflicting Pain and Fear on their Enemies whether on the Battlefield or the Arena.

Once a Dark Eldar unit is below half it’s starting strength they may reroll two dice per shooting or melee attack.

Additionally each time a Dark Eldar unit inflicts a casualty roll a D6 for each model removed, on a 6 remove a point of fatigue from the unit that inflicted the casualty. This roll is made after all fatigue from abilities is applied.

Dark Eldar Warriors and Hearthguard can take one extra point of Fatigue before getting exhausted. However each unit that starts the turn with Three Fatigue receives a marker. If at the end of the turn they have not lost one net point of fatigue they lose models with no saves allowed.

Hearthguard lose D2
Warriors lose D3

The Screams of the Wounded and Dying invigorate the Dark Eldar and drive them to cause even more pain and injury

A Chorus of Pain (1-3, 4-5 or 6)
Activation

Activate One unit to shoot. If you used a 6 gain two attack dice for this shooting attack.

Melee

Your Opponent must reroll all their attack dice which score a hit

Flight

This is the List I’m Working from so Hopefully I’m not missing anything.

There’s no Order I just do what comes to mind at the time, those highlighted in Yellow have a First Draft and Blue have either work done or the beginnings of inspiration. Here’s my rough thoughts so far.

I’m trying to keep pools and token mechanics to a minimum but when it fits and adds character I won’t avoid using it.

Waiting for the Sisters Codex to do them.

Custodes I’m a bit iffy about. Should they get their own Battle Board or should they just be attached to other units? I was thinking of making them very powerful but cost twice as much. Thoughts are much appreciated.

Mechanicus will be very tough but trying to balance endurance is tricky. They’ll be encouraged to take big beasties and get buffs for being near Creatures/Machines.

Dark Angels I haven’t thought much about these Heretics LOYAL SERVANTS OF THE IMPERIUM since I’ve already done Two Marine Forces.

Deathwatch will be Tailored specifically to fight against Xenos so no Blue on Blue action for them. They’re going to have a lot of annoying abilities that nerf other Battle Boards but won’t buff them too much.

Grey Knights will have a lot of weak Psykers.

Inquisition will be a list of Special Characters like Inquisitors (bet you didn’t expect that), Assassins, Rogue Traders and anything else that doesn’t fit into other lists. It will also have a dedicated “Storm Trooper” Battle Board.

Chaos Daemons will all get their own Battle Board as will the mortals.

Khorne will be very combat based with zero shooting of any kind and a Wrath mechanic like the Jomsviking have.

Nurlge are resilient but can still dish out punishment

Slaneesh will have a Token pool mechanic but with diminishing returns (harder to gain the next token) and a focus on speed.

Tzeentch will be the Troll Army. They will have a lot of abilities that either cancel, siphon or replicate the enemies Saga Abilities but these will be rare and expensive.

Dark Eldar are a bit tricky. They’ll be fast but I’m trying to avoid a “power from pain” pool and just go with a blanket, ‘as they lose minis they get stronger’ mechanic instead. They can remove fatigue by killing the enemy but their abilities cost a lot of fatigue so they have to get results or die.

Genestealer Cult will be very interesting. They’re going to have a few “outflanking” units that can hide in terrain (designated before the game starts) and I’m leaning towards maybe Four different Factions each having the same Battleboard but with two unique abilities. I’m thinking Miners, Military, Hive and Gangers.

Necrons will not have a mechanic to get back up after death. Instead they’ll have some of abilities that negate damage but none that generate Defence Dice.

Dark Mechanicus will be one of the later ones and I have no solid ideas for them right now.

If anyone has any ideas please comment them here, if anyone would really like me to get to their faction put it in the comments and I’ll focus on getting it done since right now I’m just letting my mind wander.

Note these Rules only apply to Vanilla Lieutenants not Characters like the Commissar who Replace a Lieutenant.

Imperial Guard – Listen Up: The lieutenant Gains the We Obey Rule but it may only be used on Hearthguard, Warriors and Levy.

Children of Nurgle – Units within VS of a Lieutenant turn a single hit into a point of fatigue. This can only be used once per turn and does not apply to any unit with a Resilience value.

Adeptus Astartes – A Bastion of Endurance: The Lieutenant can elect to take a single point of fatigue that would otherwise be allocated to any unit within M. This cannot be used with the Jump Pack Rule.

Eldar – Psychic Filter: A Lieutenant within VS of a Magic Casting Character allows them to re-roll a single casting dice, if they do this however they will also suffers the effects of a miscast.

Blood Angels – Every time the Lieutenant Charges an Enemy gain one Red Thirst Token.

Orks – ‘Ead Smasha: When a friendly unit takes an “Animosity Test” within S of the Lieutenant it can remove one model (2 for Levy) and gain a +1 on the roll.

Tau – Guided Firepower: The Lieutenant may give half of his Ranged Attack Dice to a Friendly Unit within S. If he does so he may not take any actions this turn. These dice are added at the final stage of calculating dice and so do not get doubled or halved if required.

Warlord – Choose One

Fire Caste Warlord

Armour – 5 (5)

Aggression 8

May Take a Jet Pack.

Levy – Gun Drones

Armour 3 (3)

Jet Packs

Drones Special Rule

The Tau Regularly have Drones accompany them into combat whether as bodyguards, target identifiers or an extra set of guns.

One Warrior or Two Levy may be discarded to add a single Drone to any unit to a maximum of two per unit.

Gun Drone: Re-Roll Two Attack Dice

Shield Drone: Re-Roll Two Defence Dice

Markerlight Drone: Whenever a Battle Board Ability assigns a Markerlight add an additional markerlight.

Drones do not count as models for casualties, combat dice or anything else, when the last Tau in the unit dies they are removed.

The Tau employ specialised target desingnators in the form of Markerlights that illuminate the fie and guide the weapons of their brother Tau

Target Sighted (1-3, 4-5 or 6)
Shooting

Resolve a Shooting Attack. After the Attack place a markerlight token on the enemy unit.

If a 6 is used re-roll the dice and add it to the pool.

When the situation calls for such actions the Tau can unleash a hail of fire although at great cost to their stamina

Rapid Fire (1-3 and 1-3)
Shooting

The Selected Unit may double their attack dice when making a shooting attack. After resolving the attack gain two fatigue.

With a Careful Aim even the Mightiest foe can fall to the Tau, it only requires patience.

Aimed Fire (4-5 or 6)
Shooting

The Selected Unit halves the number of dice fired but for each Markerlight token on the enemy unit gain +1 to hit.

When the Tau Warriors appear to be overwhelmed they can quickly redeploy using prearranged paths of retreat that enable them to withdraw through rough terrain while their foes struggle through it

Redeployment Protocols (1-3 or 4-5)
Activation

One Unit may make a range S move that ignores all terrain besides Impassible terrain, then at the end of the move can make a half strength shooting attack but may not use any benefits of any kind (re-rolls, fatigue that sort of thing).

The Tau are Masters of Supporting Fire and Covering their Allies

Mutual Support (1-3 and 6)
Melee/Reaction

A Tau Unit can use this ability when an enemy unit attempts to charge a friendly unit within M. Before the enemy can move make a shooting attack against them. Gain One Fatigue.

With a tempting target a Patient Commander can lead even the most canny foe into a trap

Kauyon – Patient Hunter (1-3 or 4-5)
Orders

Select a Unit and Reduce it’s Melee Armour to 2

All friendly units within M are activated and can provide covering fire when the “Mutual Support” Ability is played.

Some Commanders Prefer to Overwhelm the Enemy with Sudden Attacks that seek to cripple the most vulnerable in the ranks of the foe

Mont’Ka – Killing Blow (1-3 and 4-5)
Melee or Shooting

Gain Two Attack and Defence Dice.

In addition Re-Roll all 1’s and 2’s to hit if the enemy unit has suffered any casualties.

Akin to the rapid firing of the lesser races but the Tau Leaders will use the covering fire of their comrades to designate the enemy with markerlights rather than simply relying on weight of fire

Suppressing Fire (1-3 or 4-5)
Shooting

Roll half the actual number of attack dice. After resolving the action the target unit takes one fatigue and one markerlight token. Add one dice to the initial pool for each Markerlight token on the enemy unit.

The Drones of the Tau are programmed to put the lives of a Tau over their own survival and will not hesitate to intercept incoming fire or the sword of an enemy

Drone Shields (1-3, 4-5 or 6)
Order or Orders/Reaction

Until the End of the Turn your hearthguards and Warriors gain the Bodyguard Rule but this only applies to levy Models of which two mush be discarded to cancel a single hit.

The needs of the Greater Good are as Varied as the needs of a Battlefield Commander and different situations require different results, however regardless of what is asked of them a Tau will act without hesitation

For the Great Good (6 and 6)
Orders

Until the End of the turn Gain either of the following

All Warrior and Levy Units Gain Resilience (2)

or

All Warrior and Levy Units become Armour 2 (3) but add two attack Dice per Markerlight token on the enemy unit and may re-roll one attack dice for each markerlight on the enemy unit.

Kroot Mercenaries – 1 Point (Warriors)

Armour 3 (3)

Aggression 1 ½ / ½

Feast on the Slain: Each Time a Kroot mercenary unit takes a casualty they gain a “Feast” Token that can be used to gain a Melee attack Dice. If a Kroot unit Wipes out and Enemy Unit in Melee then they gain Feast tokens equal to the number of enemy that were killed.

Great Leap: A Kroot Unit with no Fatigue may ignore all terrain when charging.

Pathfinders – 1 Point (Hearthguard)

Armour 4 (4)

Aggression 1/1

Markerlight Specialists: Pathfinders may elect to make a special shooting attack with a range of L. It rolls to hit as normal but does not cause damage, instead for each hit inflicted the target takes a markerlight token.

Pathfinders: A Warband which includes pathfinders may designate a single turn of the game (Prior to the game starting but after deployment and mission selection) write this down. For this turn Tau models ignore the effects of uneven terrain and treat dangerous terrain as uneven instead.
All open terrain becomes uneven to the enemy and all uneven terrain becomes dangerous terrain. The Pathfinder may not take any actions of any kind during the turn which they have designated, if they start the turn exhausted then the ability is wasted and has no effect.

Stealth Suits – Creature One per Army

Armour 3 (3)

Aggression ½ / 5
