Homebrew Mk:II

[simon sez]

Simply because I enjoyed the old Homebrew thread immensely, I enjoy writing homebrew profiles so I figure I should treat anyone else who likes them have a place of their own (Plus it keeps the place tidy).
Comments and criticism are always appreciated, please be civil to one-another and remember that no idea is out of bounds. Enjoy!

They are all very entertaining ideas.

[PG_Duckboy]

Mama looks pretty cool. Don't know about her feat though. Secret Recipe should be 2 though. Otherwise that looks pretty neat.

[simon sez]

Thanks for the C&C Duckboy, Secret Recipe has been altered. What exactly is it about Liquefaction you are unsure of? It's strength, range, or longevity?

[Mutton]

Thanks for the C&C Duckboy, Secret Recipe has been altered. What exactly is it about Liquefaction you are unsure of? It's strength, range, or longevity?

Her feat pretty much instantly kills all single wound models in her ctrl; that's pretty damn good.

[Ganmeyde]

Her feat pretty much instantly kills all single wound models in her ctrl; that's pretty damn good.

and hoses warjacks entirely, and prevents a shedload of things from happening, and and and...

[DemonCalibre]

Yeah, Her feat, Instagibs any Warjack that isn't anphibious, instagibs all 1 wound infantry.

And the models that live through it, can move at half speed and automaticly take a damage point, and can't attack.

So yeah, a bit much, Also Monsoon Season should be changed to Fog of War, an identical ability.

[Ganmeyde]

With that feat, she'd better have a control range of 6" and a FUR stat to match...

[PG_General Nemo]

Her feat is far too powerful, though I understand where you're coming from. Perhaps to reflect this ability of hers, you could give her Inhospitable Ground as a spell?

Or, alternatively, you could have something like this:

Feat: Liquefaction
While in Mama's control area, enemy models move at half rate and suffer -2 STR and DEF. Liquefaction lasts for one round.

With this, you can still show make it so the enemy models are slogging through swamp muck without having the feat be game-breaking.

Her other stuff is fantastically flavorful and I commend you for a job well done.

Another idea for a feat
Feat: Dive, Dive, Dive!
Friendly Faction models currently in Mama's control area cannot be targeted by ranged or magic attacks for one round.

This makes it so your models are, speaking from a fluff perspective, submerged in water.

[PG_Duckboy]

Dive,Dive,Dive seems like a great one.

[Mutton]

I like those ideas. Something I've been tossing around

Backup Plan
Cygnaran Character Light Warjack

Stats: As Charger +1 RAT

Weapons
Tuned Up Dual Cannon: POW12
Powerful Shot
Both Barrels (*attack) Think Gorten

Battle Hammer PS12

Affinity: Caine. Backup Plan gains Gunfighter and may charge for free

Either 5 or 6pts
Think a Charger. But far, far cooler.


Stormblasters
Cygnaran Stormknight Unit

MAT7 RAT5 STR9 DEF11 ARM17 CMD9

Steady Firing Platform: Models in this unit always recieve the Aiming bonus

Weapons
Stormblaster: RNG10 POW10
Mass Fire (*attack): Gain +4 to the damage roll
Concetrated Fire (*attack): 3" Ground Pounder

Electrospike: PS13, Disruption

7/11pts for 3/5 guys
Think MercyKiller's electric Man o Wars with a chaingun built into the right arm and a buckler+large spike on the left arm

[legionaires]

How about adding this this to liquefaction, any model that is knocked down is treated as if it has entered deep water. That would simulate the drowning part.

[Ganmeyde]

How about adding this this to liquefaction, any model that is knocked down is treated as if it has entered deep water. That would simulate the drowning part.

And then gib their warjacks with a light beast slamming them into each other...

[simon sez]

Thanks for the replies so far everyone!

@DevilCalibre- I forgot about the Warjacks and didn't even notice the 1 wound rule! Monsoon Season has been cheerfully retitled.

@General Nemo- Dive, dive, dive! is nice, but neuters Snapjaw a little I feel.

I like your suggestions for Liquedation, but before I add them I'd like to present a substitute;
Ambush Predator
All friendly Faction Warrior models in this models control range gain Stealth and are immune to free strikes. Ambush Predator last for one round.

@Mutton-
I really like Back up Plan, he fits the image of the timely rescuer so well, I'd suggest 6 points for him.
The Storm Blasters I'm less sure of, you describe them as storm knights with chain guns, but I don't really see either of them in there.
What I would suggest is replace Mass/Concentrated Fire with Combined Ranged Attack, and add strafe [d3] to the Stormblaster. Electro leap seems too extreme paired with this, so I suggest something new:
Charged Atmosphere (Order)-Affected models may make an additional POW 10 Damage Type: Electrical hit against any enemy model hit by their ranged attack.

[PG_Duckboy]

Ambush PRedator would be great. think that would be on par with other Feats.

Mutton: Stormblasters should be 7/11 lol.

[Mutton]

7/11 works; the idea is that they aren't actually shooting lightning, but have tiny versions of the THead's generator in their suits to power their guns

[vagabondaeon]

Ooh, homebrew!

Here's an idea for a character Kodiak I've been kicking around for a while:

The Kommander
Khador Character Heavy Warjack
SPD4 STR12 MAT7 RAT4 DEF12 ARM20 CMD10

FA: C
Point Cost: 10

Commander (yes. really.)
Pathfinder
Steady
Heavy Boiler
Vent Steam (*Attack)
Affinity [Irusk] - While this model is in Irusk's control range, friendly Faction models in this model's command range are also treated as being in Irusk's command range. While this model is in Irusk's control range, it gains +1 SPD.
Imprint: Technician - Once per activation, this model may spend 1 focus point to use this ability. During it's activation, this model gains boosted power attack damage rolls and may perform a power attack this activation without spending focus or being forced.

Armored Fist (2x) Left and Right POW: 4 P+S: 16
Open Fist
Chain Attack: Grab and Smash

Might be too good with Superiority (speed 7 Khador jack, go) but it gives Khador a fun little power attacking jack that I think provides a nice contrast to Beast and Drago's infantry mulching tactics - this guy's meant to get up onto other jacks and brawl 'em to death.

[Mutton]

Imagine that bonded with eIrusk; DEF14 is pretty damn fine.

[vagabondaeon]

Yup! And, of course, Vent Steam for DEF 16! The Old Witch can do that too with Weald Secrets.

[Ganmeyde]

/shudder

I have a hard enough time killing DEF14 warpwolves already. That thing would be brutal. And yet, it seems pretty damn balanced, at least if you drop the +1 speed.

Otherwise, it'll be running 14" and that's just silly.

[simon sez]

Mama Malodra has been re-edited with thanks to General Nemo (I have other plans for Ambush Predator) hopefully she should be looking better now.

@vagabondaeon- Ze Kommander seems a mite underpriced to me for how much he is able to do. He can run (Through rough terrain no less!) for free, he can boost a damage roll for free, he can make power attacks for free in two different ways, and creates a continuous line of CMD 10 troops in a game where command checks are relatively more common.

I'd suggest 11pts, then you have a direct comparison between the infantry destroying Beast and the 'Jack wasting Kommander.

[simon sez]

My poor thread! Relegated to the dusty shelves of page 2!

My internet has been ill lately, so I've created quite the backlog of homebrews that I'll be posting regularly:

Ernst Gordon, Mercenary Character Solo
SPD-6 STR-6 MAT-5 RAT-5 DEF-13 ARM-14 CMD-*
FA: C.
Points Cost: 2.
Base Size: Small.
Damage: 8.
Ernst Gordon
Mercenary- This model will work for Cygnar, Khador and the Protectorate of Menoth.
Feign Death- This model cannot be targeted by ranged or magic attacks while knocked down.
Sucker!- If this model is directly hit by an enemy ranged attack, choose a friendly living non-incorporeal non-character warrior model within 2? of it to be directly hit instead. That model is automatically hit and suffers all damage and effects.
Reputation- This model has a CMD equal to the number of friendly warrior models within 5? who have this model in their LOS. This model?s CMD may never be higher than 10.
Point Blank- During its activation, this model can make melee attacks with its ranged weapon, with a ½? melee range. Do not roll an additional die on charge attacks it makes with a ranged weapon.
Weapons [Ernst Gordon]
Sawn-off Military Rifle- RNG: 8 ROF: 1 AOE:- POW: 11
Deathdealer- POW: 5 P+S: 11.
Armour Piercing (* Attack)- When calculating damage from this attack, halve the base ARM stats of targets with medium or larger bases. This attack gains a +2 bonus on damage rolls against models with small bases.

Paula Fortenzzi, Mercenary Character Solo.
SPD-5 STR-4 MAT-6 RAT-3 DEF-14 ARM-11 CMD-5
FA: C.
Base Size: Small.
Damage: 5.
Paula Fortenzzi
Companion [Ernst Gordon]- This model is included in any army list that also includes the listed model. This model is part of the listed models battle group. If the listed model is destroyed or removed from play, remove this model from play.
Out of the Fire- Select a friendly warrior model BSB with this model. If this model is not engaged in melee the chosen model is immune to free strikes.
The Rock...- If Ernst and Paula are in B2B with each other, they both gain +3 CMD.
...& the Hard Place- This model may make Ernst Gordon suffer up to 3 damage. For each damage point suffered, Ernst may boost one attack or melee damage roll in his next activation.
Weapons [Paula Fortenzzi]
?Bif!?- POW: 1 P+S: 5
Knockdown- When a model is hit by this attack, it is knocked down.
Nickel- POW: 5 P+S: 9
Magical Weapon.

I'm quite taken with this pair; the boastful, limelight-grabbing cowardly mercenary and his long suffering (Most certainly NON!)girlfriend, and I'm writing up a bit of fan-fic for them at the moment, so watch this space (Or a more appropriate space) for them in the future.

[dicegod]

I feel like her ability should be called "out of the frying pan..."

[PG_Duckboy]

Those merc's look pretty kool, I think everything is right with them except gordon should be p+s 8 maybe. Big B's armor piercing is pow12 and cankerworms is pow8 i believe. Otherwise very nice models. I might have to try these out in some casual games.

[Mosk]

I would love to make some homebrewed rules for a Farrow faction. If anyone would like to help me out with this please PM me. I have 3 Brine models, 20 brigands, 10 bone griders, and 1 rorsh that want to be used by their own...

[simon sez]

so much for regularly!
@ Dicegod- But then they would be into the fire, which would be very bad!
@ Duckboy- If you could fit them in that would be great, be sure to let us know how they work out
@ Mosk- This thread is all about helping people with their rules, post up what you have and we can all have a go.

Snapper, Minion Gatorman Tortle Light Warbeast.
SPD-4 STR-8 MAT-5 RAT-4 DEF-11 ARM-15 CMD-5 FUR-2 THR-7
FA: U.
Point Cost: 5.
Base Size: Medium.
Damage: 21 (Mind 5, Body 11, Spirit- 5)
Animus
Revitalize- Cost:1. RNG: 6.
Target friendly model gains Bask for one turn.
Snapper
Amphibious- This model ignores the effects of deep and shallow water and can move through them without penalty. While completely in deep water, it cannot be targeted by ranged or magic attacks and can make attacks only against other models in deep water. While completely in deep water, this model does not block LOS.
Bask- If this model sacrifices its movement action, it may heal D3 damage points. This model may not use Bask if it is Stationary.
Withdraw- During its activation, this model can be forced to use Withdraw. For one round or until it advances this model gains +4 ARM, its base DEF is reduced to 5 and it is automatically hit by melee attacks.
Weapons [Snapper]
Bite [1x] (Head)- POW: 5 P+S: 13
Reach
Critical Decapitation- On a critical hit, the damage exceeding the ARM of the model hit is doubled. A model disabled by this attack cannot make a Tough roll.

[Poet]

Ooh, homebrew!

Imprint: Technician - Once per activation, this model may spend 1 focus point to use this ability. During it's activation, this model gains an additional dice on power attack and collateral damage rolls and may perform a power attack this activation without spending focus or being forced.

That imprint may as well be a static ability like so:
This model gains an additional die on power attack and collateral damage rolls.

Because:
Spend 1 focus to imprint -> Power attack for free
Is nearly identical to:
Static ability -> Spend 1 focus to make power attack.

The only difference is that if something else gives you a free power attack, then you don't benefit from it if its an imprint and you do benefit from it if its a static ability.

Back Spikes(x2)
POW: 2 P+S: 10

Striding through the shadows ahead of it's Nephilim brethren, the Nephilim Stalker selects it's targets carefully and methodically, charging out of the darkness at the last moment to become a whirling dervish of death. It carries a pair of wickedly sharp blades in it hands, and where it's wings should be, the limbs are elongated and tipped with long, razor edged spikes that it uses to skewer opponents.

[simon sez]

Shame on me for neglecting this! Now as for the stalker he looks like every squishy shooting units worst nightmare come to terrifying life, I do wonder if it might be stepping lightly on the toes of say; the Raek and the Stalker unit in the department of first strike ability. Other then that worry it looks like a fun addition to the nephilim family, being the thousand cuts to the Soldier's one massive strike.

Other then that worry it looks like a fun addition to the nephilim family, being the thousand cuts to the Soldier's one massive strike.

He does blur the lines on those roles somewhat. I just started writing up various different flavors of Nephilim one day, picturing in my head and entire battlegroup of Nephilim each with a good role to play (The Soldier with the big sword, the Protector all decked out in Armor, the Stalker running along the shadows, a Nephilim with a really big bow, a Nephilim with Ice Magic, etc...). The Stalker is the only one I've been able to fully flesh out to where it makes sense and still seems balanced. Basically, since the Nephilim are a dragonspawn/Nyss hybrid, why wouldn't they be drawn to Nyss martial traditions?

LOL

[simon sez]

A ranged Warbeast in a legion army probably would leave the other players crying, though I still want to see one one day!

A living avatar of the Devourer Wurm in its aspect as the destroyer of all things, the young Cygnaran girl named Breslyn has lived the life of a pariah since she was still in the cot. Plants wither at her feet, people age and sicken, and for all her desperate efforts the greatest curse, life, still afflicts her, forcing her to endlessly wander the most barren and desolate regions of Immoren in a hopeless game against her patron spirit.

Hello, I thought I'd repost a few old custom casters that I did up way back in the original Warmachine book days.

Handcannon had published stats for a the Ordic army and these were some of the models we chose for those characters. You will have to do some searching for the original rules.

The Army of Ord:

A ranged Warbeast in a legion army probably would leave the other players crying, though I still want to see one one day!

We already have plenty of warbeasts with ranged attacks: Seraph, Angelius, Teraph, Carnivean, Typhon...

I would just love to see a sculpt with a bow that big...

True, but then only the Angelius has a ranged attack with comparable range to the longbow.

A Nephilim profile with Far Strike, or a range-only Prescience as an Animus would be pretty damned sweet, but as you say probably unbalanced, especially with Lylyth.

You might like to know your sig was a partial inspiration when I was writing Breslyn, take a look at 'Carrier' with that in mind

@ Mutton:
I like Thomas Woodshireton, he reminds me of Lee Van Cleefs character in For A Few Dollars More. If you want him to be playable in the Highborn Covenant, I think he will need a rule similar to Eiryss' 'Partisan', otherwise he's ineligible.

He's an Cygnaran Ally; hence a Merc by nature. I guess Partisian would work better from a fluff standpoint though; editing in.
