Design an Apocalypse 'single-model' Datasheet

[IJW]

As a partner thread to Dosadi's excellent formation contest idea, I thought it would be good to group together ideas for 'single-model' datasheets - the equivalent of the Brass Scorpion, Plague Reaper, Squiggoth datasheets.

This is a great way of bringing in bizarre models that you might have put together or bought over the years.

Examples:


Eldar Bright Stallion Knight
Originally for Epic, in WD126, midway in size between a Wraithlord and a Revenant. Photos.

Superheavy Walker
Structure Points: 2
Armament: 1 x Pulsar (as per Revenant datasheet)

WS3 BS4 S8 Front 12 Side 12 Rear 10 I3 A1

Eldar Titan Holofields
Agile (as per Revenant and Warhound titans)

Points: 400?


Capitol Imperialis
Epic, held entire detachments, including vehicle detachments such as three Baneblades! Photo.

Superheavy Tank
Structure Points: 9
Void Shields: 6
BS4 Front 14 Side 14 Rear 12

Weapons:
Turret-mounted Quake Cannon (as per Warlord)
Eight sponson-mounted twin-linked Heavy Bolters

Transport: 120 infantry, or 10 normal vehicles or 3 super-heavy tanks.

Access Points: assault ramp at the front (not usable by super-heavies), assault ramp at rear.

Special: May only transport units from the Imperial Guard codex, or IG-related superheavies such as the Baneblade or Macharius.
May drive through buildings and area terrain, automatically destroying them but taking a glancing hit on a 4+.

Points: 1500? A hard one to cost, it's far less aggressive than a Warlord, but the ability to carry tanks is... interesting.

Capitol Imperialis

I know this has little to do with the thread, but

A tank carrying other tanks, how totally unnecessary is that..? I love the idea of fortress-sized tanks and land battleships, but that thing is just stupid.

PS. No offence to you, IJW. I'm talking about those dumbasses at the Design Studio.

[IJW]

With the void shields it actually made sense, as the tanks would usually get to where they needed to on the battlefield.

There was also a tunnelling equivalent, the Hellbore.

[Rotten]

Ah yes, the void shields.

Well, I still think it's stupid. But I'm not going to hijack your thread and complain about it. Sorry for the interruption.

[yukisaiko]

I was thinking about trying to make a Captal Imperialis for my Sisters army, but design it more as a monestary type thing.

I'm also trying to figure out what the points cost would be to take a Baneblade chassis, and put an inferno cannon and Excorcist launcher in the turret, and make all the auxilliary weapons heavy bolters or heavy flamers.

Capitol Imperialis

i want one for a moving fortress monestary

[Chrismage]

Here's a couple neat Chaos-y ones. Using the new Chaos rules, natch.

Daemonic Pact
Cost: 100 + cost of models
Units: 1 Daemon Prince, Chaos Lord, or Chaos Sorceror, 1 Greater Daemon.

If the Daemon Prince, Chaos Lord, or Chaos Sorceror has a mark, that mark's bonus is doubled.

The Greater Daemon is kept in reserve as normal, but is not rolled for normally. Rather, when the Daemon Prince, Chaos Lord, or Chaos Sorceror is removed as a casualty, replace it with the Greater Daemon.

Greater Incursion
Cost: 50 pts per unit + cost of models
Units: Any number of Lesser Daemons, 1-5 Greater Daemons.

The Greater Incursion is kept in reserve as a single unit. When it becomes available, place the Daemons - including the Greater Daemons! - using the Summoning rule as it applies for Lesser Daemons.

Think of it as... the Warp got a tummy ache.

[IJW]

Chris, you're posting in the wrong thread, this one is for models rather than formations... and your Greater Incursion sounds very similar to the existing Warp Rift Datasheet.

Anyway...

Holy Fortress of the Ecclesiarchy
SoB Capital Imperialis.

Superheavy Tank
Structure Points: 9
Void Shields: 6
BS4 Front 14 Side 14 Rear 12

Weapons:
Turret-mounted Inferno Gun (as per Warhound)
Four sponson-mounted twin-linked Heavy Bolters
Four sponson-mounted Heavy Flamers

Transport: 60 infantry plus up to two Rhino-chassis tanks such as Immolators.

Access Points: assault ramp at the front (infantry only), assault ramp at rear.

Special Rules
Holy Shrine: All Sisters of Battle units within 24" have Ld10 and may re-roll failed Morale checks.
Unstoppable: May drive through buildings and area terrain, automatically destroying them but taking a glancing hit on a 4+.

Points: 1500?

[Hellebore]

Phantom Titan

Superheavy Walker
Structure Points: 6

Weapons: choose two of the following
Phantom Pulsar
range: 240" S: D AP: 2 Ordnance 2 10" blast, Destroyer, Main weapon

Thermal Lance

Phantom Titan
Power fist
+3 attacks. Strength D
3 scatter lasers

Titan CCs I think are Strength D anyway, and definitely inflict d3 Structure Points , so maybe reduce the Attacks bonus a bit.
I'm not so up to date on Epic, but the Power Fist used to contain a battery of Shuriken Cannon, not that it makes much difference.
Apart from that, looks great!

P.S. I like the idea of the Phantom having longer range Pulsars than the Revenant, makes it more of a Battle Titan.

[Rogue 7]

Phantom Titan

Thermal Lance
range: 72" S: 10 AP: 1 Ordnance 1 10" blast, melta, primary weapon (3d6+10 pene)

Wow, you REALLY don't like tanks, do you? Minimum roll on that for penetration is a 13 if I'm not mistaken.

[Hellebore]

If you look at the melta cannon for the warlord titan, you'll see it has the same rules...

Hellebore

[Rogue 7]

Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's overpowered (It's a freaking titan), more just a comment that that's the single nastiest anti-tank weapon I've seen.

[IJW]

I assume that Hellebore is using the 3d6 pen like the Warlord's Melta Cannon, 3d6 against the target under the hole in the centre.

P.S. I forgot the Reactor Meltdown rule in the Capital Imperialis/Holy Fortress descriptions, as per the Warlord and Warhound.

[IJW]

just a comment that that's the single nastiest anti-tank weapon I've seen.

Given that Strength D weapons auto-penetrate, I'll have to disagree on that.

[Hellebore]

And for a warlock titan:

Fated: all enemy shots reduce their damage roll by -2.

Psychic lance
Range: 72" S: - AP: - heavy 1 10" blast.

Roll a d6 and add it to 10. enemy units hit roll a d6 and add it to their leadership value (vehicles use the majority leadership value of the army, superheavies add +1 to this). If the roll beats the target's ld value it is automatically destroyed with no save of any kind. Superheavies lose D3 structure points ignoring shields, and gargantuan creatures lose d6 wounds with no save.

The titan has the following psychic powers:
Doom, Fortune, Guide, eldritch storm.

It may cast 2 of them a turn in addition to using any weapons.
Psychic mantle:
This amplifies the psyker's powers. All psychic powers have a range 4x what they normally do. Each will affect two units instead of 1. Eldritch storm becomes S6 AP3 10" blast pinning. It may only spin non superheavy vehicles.

Hellebore

PS. No offence to you, IJW. I'm talking about those dumbasses at the Design Studio.

Its no different, really, than carriers in BFG carrying their own fighters/bombers etc. Or for that matter carrying tanks on railroads, or cars in those car transporter lorries. The CI will save on fuel for all those smaller tanks, and keep them reasonably safe in the meantime. Logistics wise its easier for the tank squadrons to have a mobile home-base to go back to.

Anyway, in terms of Single Unit things, how about this?


CAULDRON OF BLOOD

Armed with
18" flamer template Strength 7, AP3, Ignores cover saves.
Armour 13/12/12
Structure points :3
Daemonic Rage : The Khornate daemon trapped in the mechanical shell of the Cauldron of Blood will always tank shock when it can, eager to spill the blood in Khornes name beneath its tracks and on the blades of its battle scythe. If enemy units are within 12" of the cauldron at the beginning of its move phase, it will move directly in a straight line driving through as many seperate units as possible.Irrespective of casualties, enemy models test Ld with a -2 for tank shock.
Battle Scythe : models in Tank-shocked units take a s6 hit on a 4+ [roll for each model] No armour saves apply. Vehicles in the tank shocks path take a strength 6 hit and 2d6 for armour penetration, and are pushed to one side [whichever is nearest] LandRaiders and any Superheavy vehicles are too heavy and large to be pushed aside and the tankshock stops immediately if it comes into contact with either a landraider or other superheavy.

Points : 320 {???} i just picked that because it is a multiple of 8. I have no idea of the actual value of the 18" flamer template!!

Edit : perhaps it needs a few extra defensive weapons, maybe 3 heavy bolters, one each front and sides? I dont think the original in Epic had any other "main" weapons

[Dicey]

the squat war train, would be my fav option to be converted from epic to 40K apoc!!

I am indeed doing squat vehicles like the overlord and land train for my Varyngr army list...
