Hope that answers some questions

[Acez]

Nice thanks Brother Garrod. Both Vulkan and Ferrus seem awesome from the rules your giving but Curze sounds meh. I don't have a copy of hh:betrayal so do legions have ATSKNF? If so most of Curzes rules are useless if playing marines on marines.
Too bad they left out Vulkans perpetual'ness....uhhhg Kyme....

[Brother Garrod]

all marines have the legiones astartes special rule , which is may always attempt to regroup at their normal leadership value regardless of casualties

speaking of rules ...

Iron Hands.

legiones astartes - may always attempt to regroup at their normal leadership value regardless of casualties

inviolate armour - all shooting attacks against models with the legiones astartes ( iron hands ) special rule reduce their strength by -1

stand and fight - must pass a leadership test to make sweeping advances after winning an assault or to make a run in the shooting phase . may not voluntarily go to ground

rigid tactics - an iron hands detatchment may not have more units with the jump infantry , bike or jetbike types than it does the infantry type , note because of this , certain rites of war are unavailable to iron hand armies


Night Lords:

legiones astartes - may always attempt to regroup at their normal leadership value regardless of casualties

talent for murder - if a unit with the legiones astartes ( night lords ) special rule outnumber one or more enemy infantry units during any initiative step in which they fight an assault , they gain +1 to wound ( bulky models count as 2 models and very bulky count as 3)

nostraman blood - all models with this special rule fall back +1" further than normal , if the fail a pinning test , they may elect to fall back instead

night vision

from the shadows - all units with this special rule have a 6+ cover save on the first turn of the game . even in open ground this may be combined with stealth etc as normal , but other forms of cover which provide a higher save supersede it

seeds of dissent - if an armies warlord is slain , each unit in the army with this special rule must take an immediate morale check as if they hailed just suffered 25% casualties from shooting


salamanders

legiones astartes - may always attempt to regroup at their normal leadership value regardless of casualties

strength of will - automatically pass all fear tests and must re-roll a single d6 when morale and pinning tests are failed

Promethean gift - all hand flamers , flamers and heavy flamers used by a unit with this special rule count as having +1 strength , in addition , any enemy flamer based attacks used against them are reduced in strength by -1

nocturne born - all units with the legiones astartes ( salamanders ) special rule do not add their initiative score to any sweeping rolls and reduce their randomly rolled run and charge distances by -1 to a minimum of 1"


word bearers

legiones astartes - may always attempt to regroup at their normal leadership value regardless of casualties

true believers - all units with the legiones astartes ( word bearers ) special rule roll 3d6 for all morale tests and pick the two lowest dice

cut them down - all units with the legiones astartes ( word bearers ) special rule must always make sweeping advances when possible and must re-roll results of a 1

charismatic leadership - any primary detachment force chosen from the word bearers legion must take a second compulsory HQ choice on the force organisation chart ( where a second choice is allowed) this choice must always be either a centurion or chaplain consul

[MyHandisIron]

You sir are my hero for posting these! Will you also be posting the characters from each legion?

[XVRogue]

salamanders

strength of will - automatically pass all fear tests and must re-roll a single d6 when morale and pinning tests are made

Must re-roll a single d6 for morale and pinning? While granted you'd always pick the highest result to reroll, you could easily potentially go from a pass to a fail this way, not just help ensure success when you'd otherwise fail. Do you mean "may" ?

Thanks for writing this up though.

Any chance we could get the rules on the Fire Hawk?

[Brother Garrod]

its written as must, but i missed a part , they MUST re-roll when a morale and pinning test is failed , sorry for not clearing that up i went ahead and edited the post with that

and no rules for the fire raptor , i asked alan about this while he was signing my book , apparently the book was complete before the model was finished , so it'll be in the next book :x they did say rules will be on the website within the next two weeks though

That makes a lot more sense, thanks for clearing that up.

Now all I want to know are the special rules and basic wargear for Iron Hands immortals. Don't care about the unit options. They're breachers, so they have hardened armor and breacher shields... but what makes them so "immortal" beyond IH legion rules / cool models?
