Penitent Titan

Type: Titan, Open Topped

Crew: 1000 Penitents

Speed: Agile

Structure Points: 12

AV: 14/14/12

WS: 4

BS: 2

Weapons: 2x Mega Inferno Cannon, 2x Mega Titan Killer Multi-Meltas, 4x War Machine Close Combat Weapons.

Special Rules: Holy Rage, Rampage, and Battle Frenzy

Points: 2000


A Penitent Titan stands 30 meters tall wielding four impressive arms. Along the exterior Penitents are strapped to the entire body of the Titan. Back in the days shortly after the Reformation, Sebastian Shaw met with the Ad Mech to build a truly awesome display of the God-Emperor's might. The resulting design is the Penitent Titan and its single purpose is to redeem the fallen while showing the awesome power of the God-Emperor entrusted to the Holy Church. Such is the impressive display that all friendly units within 12" are Fearless and all enemy units suffer -4 to leadership rolls, while Fearless units lose their Fearlessness.

As the Titan takes damage the Penitents will die at a rate of 100 times the normal amount rolled. Thus, when a crew dead result comes up simply mark off 100 penitents as being dead. After all the Penitents are dead the Titan comes to a complete stop and is rendered ineffective the rest of the game.

Cool idea, but it conflicts with fluff. While the Inquisition is the only entity outside of the titan legions to control Imperial titans, they only have one legion (to the best of my knowledge), and it's makeup is already defined. Speaking of which, I would love to see someone make a Legio Ordo Sinistar in 40K scale.

In addition to titan fluff we have to look at the fluff for the SoB. They generally get discarded/outdated warmachines. Now if you came up with a backstory about finding some STC, then maybe. Of course they would have to get a forgeworld to build these for them. Since SMs, IG, titan legions, and Skitari would all be of higher priority, it still wouldn't make sense for the SoB to get a titan.

Penitent Titan

Back in the days shortly after the Reformation, Sebastian Shaw met with the Ad Mech to build a truly awesome display of the God-Emperor's might.

Wait, so it was designed by an X-Men character?

[Merceus]

The Weeping Lucinda
Captain Darkmourn’s personal Battle Ship

BS 4 Front Armour 14 Side 13 Rear 13

Pts: 1350 (suggestions?)

Type: Super Heavy Skimmer

Structure Points: 4

Void Shields: 2

Weapons: The Screaming Tear, Hull-mounted
6 Sponson-mounted Vengeance Cannons (3 on either side)

Equipment: Rat Traps, Smoke Launchers, Crow‘s Nest, Reinforced bulk head.

Transport: The Weeping Lucinda can transport up to 30 models, this is subject to the Super-Heavy transport table located in the Apocalypse book. All transported models must be mounted at the beginning of the game. Once they disembark they may only re-embark if there are no enemy models within 12” as they need to climb back up into the Ship safely.

Captain Darkmourn: Captain Darkmourn must begin all battle being transported in the Weeping Lucinda. If Captain Darkmourn is being transported in the Weeping Lucinda he will feel his pain and anger stronger then ever. It will radiate out to everyone nearby, and they know that Darkmourn will not stand for anything less then perfection in his battle plan.

All friendly models within 12” of the Weeping Lucinda whilst Dark Mourn is on board become Fearless. Also, for every turn Darkmourn spends on the Weeping Lucinda he gains +1 Strength and +1 Initiative, this will however only last for the turn in which he disembarks.

Black Powder Stores: The Weeping Lucinda stores significant amounts of Blasting Powders for its primitive yet powerful cannons, if it were to ever be brought down, anyone nearby will know. Add +3 to the Catastrophic Damage table when the Weeping Lucinda is destroyed.

SPECIAL RULES
Rat Traps: The Weeping Lucinda has several under hung razor nets that can be dropped by the crew on to unsuspecting enemies below. The Weeping Lucinda may forfeit its usual turn and become a Flyer for one turn. It must make a bombing run and cannot fire any of its guns. The bombing run drops a razor net that uses the Apocalyptic Ordnance Template.

All models under the template must pass an initiative test on a D6 or take D6 Strength 6 Ap4 hits each. This has no effect on tanks or anything with an Armour Value, although it automatically glances all open-topped vehicles.

Crow‘s Nest: If any models are on board and on nothing larger then a 25mm base, they may enter the Crow’s Nest and act as a look out. Place the model up here when it enters the Weeping Lucinda. So long as there is a model in the Crow’s Nest the Weeping Lucinda counts as having a Searchlight and may move over enemy models so long as it is not on them at the end of the Movement Phase.

The model in the Crow’s Nest may be shot at, though it can only ever be hit on a 6+ and may never be hit if the Weeping Lucinda was in Flyer model in its last movement phase.

Reinforced Bulk Head: The Weeping Lucinda is heavily armoured from the inside out. The Weeping Lucinda ignores all Glancing Hits.

The Screaming Tear: Rng: Apocalypse Flamer Template S: D AP: 1 Type: Heavy 1
Vengeance Cannons: Rng: 60” S: 6 AP: 3 Type: Heavy 1, 5” Blast

I play Sisters, and my friend wants me to get a Warhound, as he's doing Guard and plans on getting at least 2 Baneblades.

[Ddraiglais]

Well noone said that fluff was against SoB having titanicus allies. Who knows, maybe a warhound could be the start of an entire quarto-legio or demi-legio for you?

Nova Cannon Range:600'' Str 10 Ap 1 Heavy 10/Apocalpse Blast/Barrage
4D6 Structure Points to Superheavies, 4D6 Wounds on creatures Immune to ID

Roll to hit, if a hit is scored, then place the blast templates as normal for an Ordanance Barrage.

Special Rules:
Critical Reactor: On a roll of a 1 to hit, The Ordinatus Armageddon Explodes and units within 120'' are hit with a str 8 ap 2 attack that causes pinning

[Hellebore]

The Revenant should look like this:

WS2 BS4 S10 12/12/11 I2 A1

Superheavy walker

Eldar holofields, if fleets enemy are at -1 to the damage table. If jumps, enemy are at -2.

Agile: 1d6 fleet+1 main weapon, 2d6 fleet+no main weapon

Jump: 36"

Pulsar
range: 72" S: D AP: 2 heavy 2, megalance, 5" blast

sonic lance
range: Hellstorm S: - AP: 2 heavy 1, pinning

place template with narrow end no more than 18" away from titan and ensure that the wide end is further away than the narrow end.


That's how the revenant should look.

I wrote the fluff when I was very tired. Also this isn't just a Sisters of Battle titan, but an Ecclesiarchy titan which must follow the rules of the regular Penitent Engine. This is just a bigger version of it.

[Hellebore]

Hmmm, not strong enough hehe . In epic 2nd ed. if you got close enough to a heat lance (<25cm) it would kill your titan outright if it failed its save, and its shields were down. Maybe add modifiers to the damage table (+1/+3+/+5?) and give it range bands hehe.

Well, I've been thinking about changing the rules a bit.

Also for the pulsar.

I'm adding 2 special rules, to make the revenant's pulsars better, and make the thermal lance more destructive.

Pulsar (same + megalance special rule)
Megalance: this adds +1 to the damage table (in addition to the +1 for being a D weapon)

Thermal lance (change to S: D AP:2 +megamelta special rule)
Megamelta: roll 2d6 and apply both results on the damage table (add +1 for being S: D).

Not sure if this is more a single model or a formation entry...

Tech Dreadnaught

As venerable dreadnaught with plasma cannon and heavy flamer, but in addition gains:

2 servo arms: each grants and extra DNCCW attack and blessing of the omnissiah with a reroll. the vehicle being repaired can be himself.
may take a retinue of 1-4 servitor walkers (counting as loadlifter sentinels (IA1)). each loadlifter either grants a +1 to any repair rolls, or can be upgraded to a codex IG sentinel at the appropriate weapon cost

[Rotten]

Special Rules:
Critical Reactor: On a roll of a 1 to hit, The Ordinatus Armageddon Explodes and units within 120'' are hit with a str 8 ap 2 attack that causes pinning

Serious? 120"? One hundred and twenty inches? As much as this may be true to the fluff, I doubt you'll see too many of those things in a game when there's a one in six chance for getting your army vaporized whenever you use it.

[Sureshot05]

Cut down weapons list
Phantom Pulsar
range: 240" S: D AP: 2 Ordnance 2 10" blast, Destroyer, megalance (+1 on damage table) Main weapon

Thermal Lance
range: 72" S: D AP: 2 Ordnance 1 10" blast, megamelta (roll 2d6 on damage table and apply both), primary weapon

Phantom D-Cannon
range: 60" S: - AP:2 Heavy 1 7" blast, primary weapon, Destroyer
Any model touched by the template is instantly destroyed. Superheavy vehicles lose d3 structure points ignoring shields, and gargantuan creatures lose d6 wounds ignoring armour and invulnerable saves.

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.

Hellebore

Cut a little of this, but I love the psychic lance rules, I think they are very well thought out.

I would be a little concerned about fated. I would possibly change it so that the holofields had a +1 bonus (due to precognition). Fated would make the thing nearly invulnerable I fear.
Thermal Lance is great, and very fitting. Lastly, the D-Cannon just needs one line slightly adjusting.

"No save of any kind allowed. Try to dodge it? Farseers have anticipated that. Adamanite Cloak? Not much use in the warp. Daemonic Save? Hey, its a free ticket home."

[Hellebore]

Reaver Titan

WS2 BS4 S10 Front 14 Side 14 Rear 12 I1 A2

Inferno gun
Apocalypse missile launcher
(see warlord for details)

Special rules:
Towering destroyer:
The carapace weapon has a minimum range of 12".

Reactor meltdown:
See warhound or warlord.


Hellebore

[Sureshot05]

Serious? 120"? One hundred and twenty inches? As much as this may be true to the fluff, I doubt you'll see too many of those things in a game when there's a one in six chance for getting your army vaporized whenever you use it.

Should be more like 40D6"... Seriously, if someone were to field it, it would make you think twice about destroying it. Sounds like a great fun rule (because lets be honest, if you are fielding it, then it is almost certainly for fun).

[Hellebore]

Harridan

WS3 BS3 S8 T7 W6 I4 A2 Ld10 Sv3

Gargantuan Flyer

Weapons:
Harridan bio-cannon
range: 48" S:10 AP:3 Heavy 5

Scything talons (included in profile)


Special rules:
Gargantuan flyer
Follows all the rules for a gargantuan creature except for movement. The gargantuan flyer MUST move a minimum of 18" in its turn, and a maximum of 72". Enemy shots must add 12" to the range, but hit using their normal ballistic skill. Nothing may charge a Gargantuan flyer.

Swoop attack
In the assault phase the harridan may swoop down and attack the enemy. Work out combat as normal, and, so long as the harridan is still alive, it MUST be moved out of combat in the direction it was flying 12".

Transport
May transport a brood of 20 gargoyles that may disembark anywhere along its flight path. This counts as their movement, but they may shoot and assault as normal.

Hellebore

[IJW]

I think regular fliers have to move a minimum of 36", going by the Nightwing's special ability to move 'only' 18". Good stuff.

[LawrencePhillips]

Special Rules:
Critical Reactor: On a roll of a 1 to hit, The Ordinatus Armageddon Explodes and units within 120'' are hit with a str 8 ap 2 attack that causes pinning

Why would anyone build such an obviously dangerous weapon. Just imagine the tech priest pugging this one at the forgeworld's RnD dept. "its a ******* kick ass gun. Only problem, It will explode an kill within miles everyone every 6th shot!"

Statistically, it's more effective to give it to the enemy and let them shoot it at you.

[IJW]

Statistically, it's more effective to give it to the enemy and let them shoot it at you.

And it's not even designed by an Ork. Or was it...?


From da Sekrit Annals of da Master Bigmek Spymaster Zogrud who is da Master of dem all:

"Hey, you remember that AdMech who suggested this design? Is it just me, or did he have a 'green' tinge to his skin? I always though he had a hangover! It's hard to tell with all these full-length robes, hoods and face-masks..."

"Little did dey know dat dey had fallen for da oldest trikk in da book - de inverted phase-change coupla in da fuzion reaktor planz! Bwah ha ha ha haaaaa!"

[LawrencePhillips]

Who need exterminatus when you have this. If it works it'll kill things. If it doesn't it'll kill the planet and lets face it, that what we were going to do when we loose anyway
