BrownStalin Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Holy, now I'M surprised. DE drew actually plays 40k. Neat. I agree. Very much like the tau. Helmet shape, advanced guns, drones, though the corpus have a distinct lack of cool giant death robots. *Cough* Jackal, lynx *cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ENIAK_Prime Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Butchers would be fast attack or a heavy hitting unit. Neeever played 40k and don't essentially understand the mechanics so-to-speak, so maybe I'm not in the CORRECT position to say this? I CAN say, though, that Butchers are not particularly faster than their lancer comrades in any sense. Definitely in the Heavy Hitting category.

Morte_de_Angelis Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 -snip- Grineer: - Grineer regular units should have a 3+ / 4+ armour save. Heavy / Bombard 2+ / 3+ armour save. Bombard have a 1inch explosion on hit - Chance to roll for Knockdown Napalm the same as Bombard but chance to roll for fire Rollers have immunity to rough terrain with a chance to stagger on hit Seekers can summon latchers Latchers have a turn delay before detonating dealing damage. Rolling to remove latching uses a movement phase Scorpion have a hit chance to drag a unit to itself - 3+ / 4+ to hit. Units dragged should have a chance to recover before being dragged based of a Recovery rating - 6+ being the min so any unit has a CHANCE to recover from the roll. If a unit has recovered and has no recovery rating then a D6 roll to determine distance travelled based on every 6 inch segment Shield Grineer can use a shooting phase to charge at a unit within 6inches and knockdown. Corpus :- Every Corpus Humaniod unit has half there health as shield - No armour saves. Shield regenerates 1/4 of its hp each turn after a turn of not taking damage. Shield Drones increases All units within 6/8 inches with an extra 50% shield. Shockwave Moas can use a Shooting phase to ground slam and knockdown all units within an 6/8 inch radius Rail Moas can pierce One enemy with an +1 to wound on the second unit Oxium Drones roll a Scatter Die to determine direction if damaged more then 50% of there HP to dash 12 inches. If Dash collides with an object or person explodes for light damage in a 1/2 inch radius. Anti Moas Roll a scatter die and a D6 to determine where the 1 inch knockdown will land - Only bounces once Nullifiers Have half of the regular units HP in the 6/8 inch bubble. Takes a turn to recharge like normal shields. Thats ideas I got so far to give you a starting point =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idalgos Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Lancer Squad and Butchers - I could see them for Troops. Elite Lancer Squad, Scorpions - well, they could fir for Elites Hellions, Flamesblades and Drahks could go for Fast Attack Heavy Gunners and Bombard/Napalms - Heavy Support Eviscerators, Scorches, Troopers, Seekers could be like special weapons in some squads. Also, Tyranid player here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idalgos Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) Tyranids are fun, if you can handle moving 100+ models for every game. Also, they are really hard to play, except some meta choices. Well, grineer commander can be like sergeants in squads and there could be a separate Grineer commander squad for HQ. Also, all of Bosses for HQ characters. And if we will follow modern tendentions, we need some Formations. Something like Grineer Strike Force - 1 Grineer Commander Squad, 3-6 Lancer or Butchers Squads in any combination, 0-2 Elite Lancers or Scorpions, 0-1 Heavy Support Teams. All squads in formation have rerolls on Morale test and can buy upgrades/special weapons for free. Oh, and for mandatory nowdays Lord of War choice we could take Hek Terra Form Edited November 1, 2015 by Idalgos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EversorNinja Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 As for vehicles, Archwing enemies could be fliers (I think some could be jetbikes). I don't think Grineer should be tougher than Astartes (given how easily a Tenno kills Lancers, if Lancers are tougher than Marines a Tenno would wipe the floor with a Primarch :P) As a Tau player, I think the Corpus would play more like Necrons than Tau. Tau are about long-range firefights and maneuvering; Necrons run forward and shoot things. Corpus are more like that latter of the two. Did DE release files that you can 3d print, or are you making your own models? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idalgos Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Lancer - S 3; T 3; Sv 3+ Heavy Gunner - S 4; T 4; Sv 2+ Bombard - S 4; T 4; Sv 2+ and 2 Wounds Just idea for start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDRLOz Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Grineer: - Grineer regular units should have a 3+ / 4+ armour save. Heavy / Bombard 2+ / 3+ armour save. 2+ Save would assume terminator esque levels of armour. A better representation would be to give all Grineer 3+ saves but Lancers have toughness 3, Heavy units have toughness 4/5. Use both stats together to represent more resilent units. Also I feel the style of warframe would better suit the necromanda rules on a space hulk style map. We dont normally have the "Pitched battle" style open maps to fight on. We always fight at what would be close ranges by 40k standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakatchi Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) I play Warhammer 40k alot, and me and my friends are pitching together money to 3D print models for the game. We want to make either corpus or Grineer models for the army, for our own use only. I am starting to write the codex now. Does anybody have any suggestions of how the Grineer should work? We were conjecturing REALLY good armor saves but easy to wound. Probably give grakatas Salvo 2/3. What do any of you play 40k think/suggest? Wouldn't they be space marines? Heavy armor, zealously follows their twin queens (emperor),Cloned (gene seed). Heavily augmented with cybernetics, brainwashed into complete loyalty. Or maybe chaos?

Heavily augmented with cybernetics, brainwashed into complete loyalty. Or maybe chaos? Well their cloned flesh is weak and failing as opposed to the superhuman marines. They are making up for this through armor and maybe a little cybernetic FNP here and there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's DE's itellectual property so this just for use within my group sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I CAN say, though, that Butchers are not particularly faster than their lancer comrades in any sense. Definitely in the Heavy Hitting category. You would be right on one of those sentences :) The idea of fast attack in Warhammer 40k is someone able to (usually) move fast and either close with the enemy quickly or skirt around them. "Heavy hitting" is actually "heavy support which is tanks and mech walkers so... not exactly. Thanks for trying though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychedelicSnake Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 But, at least the Corpus can do MELEE... Only real scrubs can't kill the target before they get in melee range. Git with the greater gud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
