Thunderers supply withering support fire for the Brotherhood on the
battlefield, devastating concentrations of enemy troops or tanks and forming
strong points to hold the battleline.
Squad: The squad consists of between three and six Daewar.
Additionally, up to one Thunderer squad may also include a Thunderer
Commander.
Weapons: Each Daewar in the squad must be armed
with one of the following weapons: beam cannon at +35 pts; grav cannon at
+40 pts; particle cannon at +30 pts; plasma cannon at +30 pts. The Thunderer
Commander is armed with a beam pistol.
Options: The entire squad may be given grav-pulse
grenades at an additional cost of +2 pts per model.
Character: The squad may be led by a Hearthguard
bought separately from the Elites section of the Army List.
Transport Vehicle: The entire squad may be mounted in an Termite
bought separately from the Fast Attack section of the Army List.

SPECIAL RULES
Fire Control: Thunderer squads are highly
trained (and naturally adept!) in the handling and use of heavy
weaponry, and under the right direction this allows them to direct their
firepower at the most desirable targets quickly and efficiently. To
represent this, as long as the squad includes a Thunderer Commander who
is still alive and doesn't shoot in the Shooting phase then the squad
may attempt to engage up to two different target units instead of one.
The squad must first pass a Leadership test: if successful declare which
models will fire at each target and then carry on using the normal
rules, if unsuccessful the squad may only fire at a single target. |
Artillery batteries are comprised of Mole Mortars and Thudd Guns
manned by Guild Engineers. They often have an incredible range, and are able
to 'soften up' the enemy for the rest of the Daewar force to deal with.
Battery: The battery consists of between one and three support
weapons.
Weapons: Each support weapon is armed with either
a mole mortar or thudd gun.
Crew: Two Daewar per support weapon each armed with a beam pistol.
Character: The battery may be joined by a Guild
Journeyman bought separately from the Elites section of the Army List.
| SPECIAL RULES
Movement: Mole Mortars and Thudd Guns must remain stationary
to fire, but may otherwise move as normal.
Hits on the Battery: When a battery of support weapons is
fired at, randomise any hits between the crew and the support weapons
themselves by rolling a D6:
| D6 |
Result |
| 1-4 |
Crew hit |
| 5-6 |
Support Weapon hit |
Hits against the crew are resolved as normal, Support weapons count
as vehicles with an armour value of 10, any penetrating or glancing hits
destroy them. |
Defender battery fluff.
Type: Walker, open-topped.
Maniple: Each maniple consists of one to three Guild Defenders.
Crew: One Guild Robot.
Weapons: Each Guild Defender is armed with either
a heavy beam cannon, heavy plasma cannon, heavy grav cannon or heavy partcle
cannon.
Character: The battery may be joined by a Guild
Journeyman bought separately from the Elites section of the Army List.
| SPECIAL RULES
Robots: Guild Defenders are robots, and thus follow the rules
for battle programs as outlined at the start of the army list. Guild
Defenders must start the battle on 'Defend' orders, but may have their
orders changed by a Guildmaster or Journeyman equipped with a battle
computer during the battle.
Movement: Guild Defenders must remain stationary to fire in
high power mode, or can move up to 6" and fire in low power mode. |
Daewar use batteries of Goliaths to bombard enemy emplacements at long
range and pound hostile cities into rubble. This gives the Brotherhoods
invaluable supporting fire while they move into position to launch their
assaults against the weakened foe.
| SPECIAL RULES Preliminary Barrage: The
effects of the Goliath's attack is determined by resolving a preliminary
barrage against the enemy force.
The barrage is resolved after both sides have deployed but before the
first Movement phase, and can affect the entire opposing army, including
Reserves. If the enemy move on at the beginning of the battle instead of
deploying beforehand, resolve the Goliath's barrage at the end of the
enemy's first Movement phase. If the scenario you are playing uses a
preliminary barrage anyway, make two rolls to affect each vulnerable
units. Resolve each hit separately so, for example, a unit hit twice
would suffer 2D6 wounds and need to take two Pinning tests.
Friendly Fire: Prior to rolling the preliminary barrage roll a
d6. On a roll of 1 a few of the Goliath's shells have deviated from
target - onto friendly forces! Roll for the preliminary barrage as
before but make a dice roll for every eligible unit on the tabletop,
friend or foe. |
