Hmm, still can't upload - apparently I have a maximum upload quota of 256Mb - oh well (anyone will the knowledge to get round this will be listened to - I assume there's some interweb jiggery...)
ATONE THROUGH SLAUGHTER - 100points + models
Fluff:The traitor, the heretic, the abomination – all are sinners in the eyes of the Emperor. Their sins must be atoned for. Those whose sins are deemed foul enough are given the chance to redeem themselves to the Emperor through the bloody slaughter of his enemies. Some are interred into the fearsome killing machines – the Penitent Engines. The machines are the personification of the Emperor’s divine justice and his love of the sinner that they may repent their sins. The bezerk crews are maniacal in their need to expunge their souls and die in the Emperor’s service. They are seldom fielded en masse, but when they are, the carnage they cause strikes fear into the hearts of the Emperor’s enemies
Formation:
1 Ecclesiastical Chimera – any non Adepta Sororitas upgrades per the Which Hunters Codex are allowed. The Chimera may not transport troops.
4-6 Units of Penitent Engines
Special rules:
Ecclesiastical Chimera: The chimera is crewed by zealous priests of the Imperial Creed. Its surface is covered in litanies of faith and hymns and prayers blare from loudspeakers all around the machine. These combine to direct the insane carnage they wreak. Any Penitent Engines within 24” and line of sight of the Chimera may use its ‘Righteous Zeal’ move in any direction, not just toward the nearest enemy unit.
In addition, the Ecclesiastical Chimera counts as the lead vehicle in the formation. Should the Chimera be group kept as Strategic Reserves, all the Penitent Engines must be kept with it and all must enter play within 12” of the Chimera. If set up normally, all Penitent Engines must set up with 12” of the Chimera.
The Ecclesiasty are watching: Such is the power of the oratory emanating from the Chimera that all friendly units within 12” of it benefit (or suffer, depending on your point of view…) from the ‘Fanatical’ and ‘Righteous Fury’ rules per the Priest entry in the Witch Hunter codex.
Any ideas on that? I've just noticed that the "Ecclesiasty are watching" rule could be open to abuse (with allied assault marines etc) so I might change that to affect only Inquisition &
IG, or just
IG - I'm nolt sure - it might be ok...
