==Codex Diomedes== Because it was waaaay too long to wait for someone to make it. {| class=wikitable ! || Pts || WS || BS || S || T || W || I || A || Ld || Sv |- | '''Captain Diomedes:''' || 200 || 7 || 5 || 4 || 4 || 4 || 5 || 4 || 10 || 2+/4++ |} '''Unit Type''': * '''Infantry (Character)''' '''Unit Composition''': * '''1 Captain Diomedes''' '''Wargear''': *'''Blade of Divination''': Can be swapped for the Talons of The Blood Raven for 50 pts or Doom of Apostasy for 40 pts. *'''Bolt Pistol''': See Codex: Space Marines. Can be swapped for a Plasma Pistol or a Storm Shield for 15 pts. Either of these are replaced if Diomedes chooses to swap the Blade of Divination for the Talons of The Blood Raven or Doom of Apostasy. *'''Artificer Armour''': May swap it for the Star Shield for 20 pts. *'''Iron Halo''' *'''Frag Grenades''' *'''Krak Grenades''' '''May take one of the following Wargear''': *'''Jump Pack''' - Can take for free. Changes unit type to Jump Infantry (Character) *'''Personal Teleporter''' - Can take for free. Gains the Deep Strike USR. *'''Personal Standard''' - Can take for free. Counts as Company Standard. '''Special Rules''' * '''And They Shall Know No Fear''' * '''Chapter Tactics (Blood Ravens)''': As per the rules for all Chapters who do not know their primogenitor Chapter, the Blood Ravens do not have a unique Chapter Tactic. Instead, the player can elect to use any existing Chapter Tactics from Codex: Space Marines and any Forge World supplements. * '''Independent Character''' * '''Rampage (Talons of The Blood Raven Only)''' * '''Captain of The Honour Guard''': Diomedes is both the Captain and Champion of the Blood Ravens' Honour Guard, making him both a master of both tactical and martial acumen. Diomedes may take an Honour Guard squad instead of a Command Squad. This will not take a Force Organization slot. If Gabriel Angelos and Diomedes are in the same Detachment, then Diomedes may never be the Warlord. * '''Champion of The Chapter''': Diomedes can issue Challenges and accepts every Challenge. If an enemy unit declines the Challenge, Diomedes gains the Hatred USR against the unit that refused the Challenge. If the enemy accepts, then Diomedes can re-roll one die to-hit and to-wound. * '''Chapter Master's Shield''': If Gabriel Angelos has only one Wound remaining and Diomedes is in the same unit, then Diomedes will automatically pass any ''Look Out Sir!'' rolls he may take. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name !! Range !! Strength !! AP !! Type |- | '''Blade of Divination''' || - || User || 3 || Melee, Master Crafted, Vorpal Strike, Anathemic Presence |} *'''Blade of Divination''': The Blade of Divination is a renowned Power Sword once wielded by Sergeant Martinus of the Ultramarines, who dispatched countless daemonic horrors in the purging of the planet Quinn IV. Its effect on the forces of Chaos was so potent that when Martinus began to fall prey to the whispers of the Dark Gods, the blade took it upon itself, to "cleanse" him. It was lost after Martinus' death, but was later found by the Blood Ravens and wielded by a Battle Brother in the Aurelian conflict [[Blood Ravens Force Commander|whose name has curiously been stricken from Chapter Records]]. **'''Vorpal Strike''': During Combat, Captain Diomedes may exchange his attacks to make a Vorpal Strike. Place a Small Blast Marker in front of Diomedes. All enemy models under the blast marker must undergo a Toughness Test. If failed, all models that failed the test must take a wound that cannot be saved using Armour Saves (Invulnerable Saves are usable though) **'''Anathemic Presence''': Attacks from this weapon force units with the Daemon USR to re-roll all successful saves granted by that rule. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name !! Range !! Strength !! AP !! Type |- | '''Talons of The Blood Raven''' || - || User || 3 || Melee, Specialist Weapon, Master Crafted, Shred |} *'''Talons of The Blood Raven''': The Talons of the Blood Raven are venerated Lightning Claws that were gifted to the Blood Ravens Chapter, at the conclusion of the Buckley Purgation, by the artificers of the Raven Guard. Fashioned after the famed Raven's Talons of Shadow Captain Shrike, these strengthened adamantium blades can cut through the thickest armour with ease. These Lightning Claws grant the Rampage USR. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Name !! Range !! Strength !! AP !! Type |- | '''Doom of Apostasy''' || - || 10 || 2 || Melee, Two-Handed, Master Crafted, Unwieldy, Concussive, Strikedown, Purifying Aura |} *'''Doom of Apostasy''': The Doom of Apostasy is a two handed Thunder Hammer belonging to the Blood Ravens Chapter. Legend has it that the Black Templar High Marshal Sigenandus wielded this mighty Thunder Hammer during the Terran Crusade. Apocryphal records would have it that Sigenandus used it in the final assault on the chambers of [[Goge Vandire]], the debased head of the Ecclesiarchy and target of the Crusade. Imperial scholars dispute the origins of these records, but the few who have wielded the Doom of Apostasy have little doubt in its holy providence. **'''Purifying Aura''': All Infantry Units of the Chaos Space Marines, Chaos Daemons, and Renegades & Heretics factions who charge Diomedes must do so as if he has defensive grenades. *'''Star Shield''': For nearly a millennium, Brother Gunn patrolled the halls of Strike Cruiser Decimus. Rarely did his boots touch solid earth, but he did not want for battle. Mysterious Eldar, creatures of the Warp, and even the undying Necrons boarded the Decimus during interstellar flight. Brother Gunn stood against them all, and died among the stars after a lifetime of vigilance. The Star Shield is an Artificer Armour that also grants the Feel No Pain and It Will Not Die USR.
