Striking Serpent Aspect Warriors

[SteveBerenyi]

Ok we developed most of this in Chat between Erus, Ghosts Of Terra and I.

Name	Pts	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	LD	SV
Serpents Fang	16	4	4	3	3	1	5	1	9	4+
Exarch	+12	5	5	3	3	1	6	2	9	3+

Special Rules
Fleet of Foot.

Wargear
Serpents Fangs go into battle wielding 2 power swords. and the Serpent's Coil

Serpents Coil
This leg mounted booster allows the serpents fangs to reach close combat much more quickly than they otherwise would be able to. using anti-grav technology they get a short boost of speed while charging.
They count as beasts when assualting.

Exarch Powers
Defend: While in close combat, all enemy models recieve -1 A to a minimum of 1.
+15 pts
Trip: One the turn in which a squad of Serpents Fangs Assualts an enemy, each make an initiative check (you may use the highest in each squad) at d6+I if the Serpent's Fangs score is higher the enemy is counted as WS1 for that round of combat
+20 pts

Exarch Weapons

Forked Tongue: This is a staff with a blade at either end, and counts as a 2 handed power weapon that grants +1 A.

+5 PTS

Venom Fang: This knife is a small force generator, it counts as a 2nd cc weapon and is a force weapon
+15 pts

Spiting Serpent: This gun has the following profile

Name	Range	Str	AP	Special
Spiting Serpent	Template	8	-	Corosion any vehicle that is hit by this weapon and is not glanced/penetrated has -1 to the armor value of the facing that was hit

+20 Points

C&C welcome on this

[Lord Commander Erus]

Venom Fang needs to be at least 35-30 pts Steve. It is a force weapon after all.

[GhostofTerra]

lol i said it too

[hairyyahoo]

the forked tongue seems a bit redundant, a two handed power weapon that gives +1 A or two single handed power weapons that give + 1 A?

the corrosion rule for the gun is col but in the confusion that accompanies the average game of 40k will probably be forgotten.

Am I the only one that takes a lil steno pad and marks things like that down?

[Baron Spikey]

i can only hope the gun's effects are not cummulative...

is the gun assault, heavy etc? as Hairy said the Forked Tongue doesnt make any sense other than as a cool modelling thing as it provides no extra benefit.

[SteveBerenyi]

I think that i am still cought in 2nd ed. i though a 2 handed weapon added +2 str.

so it would be +2 str, +1 A.

and i agree the force weapon should be +35

Thanks all.

.

5 pts seems a bit of a steal then, as a executioner is 10pts and doesn't give the extra A. 15-20pts seems better/

[SteveBerenyi]

good catch on that one hairy.
