|-
! 1–5
| Pure - Same as progenitor in terms of purity, and will maintain close links with it

| A New Generation - [[Gene-seed]] is slightly divergent (usually because of attempts to breed out flaws, real or not), leading to the Chapter being less linked to its progenitor
|-
! 8–9
| Altered Stock - Gene-seed is altered and some implants are deficient - roll on Gene-Seed Deficiencies table
|-
! 10
| Flawed - Chapter's gene-seed is flawed and sets them apart from their progenitor - roll on Chapter Flaws table

| Doomed - the Chapter has either lost the ability to generate Progenoids or the Black Carapace, stopping future neophytes from being created. Unless they fix this fast, they're fucked.

{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"
! colspan="2" |Deeds of Legend (d100)
|-
! 01-25
| The figure is remembered as the bane of the Orks, to such an extent that his name is known to the vile greenskins even to this day.
|-
! 26-50
| The individual was a stalwart enemy of the servants of Chaos, and slew a Daemon Prince.
|-
! 51-70
| The hero led a glorious campaign against a rebel army, defeating the foe and bringing an entire sector back into the light of the Emperor.
|-
! 71-85
| The figure led an action against an Eldar craftworld, boarding it and inflicting grievous casualties before withdrawing.
He and his Chapter are especially hated by the pernicious Eldar, for whom the event is still fresh and raw.
|-
! 86-90
| The hero was lost to his Chapter in a warp accident, yet his descendents have cause to believe he lives still and may one day return to them in glory.
|-
! 91-95
| The hero was the first to face some newly discovered alien race, and ultimately responsible for its total destruction. Centuries later, only the Chapter remembers the name of the race, so utterly was it and its works cast down.
|-
! 96-100
| The hero led his Chapter in many glorious campaigns, slaying hundreds of the enemy’s greatest champions. In the end, he was brought down by treachery within the fold of the Imperium, slain by an assassin’s turbo-penetrator round on the field of battle. Just why he was targeted was never discovered, and the Chapter harbours a special hatred for the servants of the Officio Assassinorum to this day.

==Chapter Specialities==
Flyer: As in DH core, pg. 216.


{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"
Heavenly: ATP is not reduced by activating AT powers. AT powers may be augmented by ATP, but not up to more than the amount of ATS possessed by the Angel.
! colspan="2" |Specialty restrictions (units the chapter cannot field) - Only roll if Unique Organisation was selected (d100)
|-

| [[Apothecary]]
|-

| Roll Twice on this Chart or choose something truly unusual (i.e., the Chapter has no [[Scout]]s, the Chapter’s Veterans are not formed into the 1st Company, etc.)
|}


Superior Action: May perform Full Actions as Half Actions, may perform one Half Action as a Reaction Action per turn. May use multiple attacks per turn, provided it has multiple weapons to use.


{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"
Grounded: Any round the Angel is struck by Tesla weaponry and takes damage or otherwise takes a similarly powerful electrical charge, it may only take Half Actions.
! colspan="2" |Special equipment- Only roll if Divergent or Unique Organisation was selected (d100)
|-
! 01-10
| Traditional Weapon: The Chapter favours one specific weapon over all others. Choose one specific weapon to serve as the Chapter’s traditional weapon. Examples: Power Sword, Bolt Pistol, Melta Gun
|-
! 11-20
| Totemic Charm: This Chapter has strong beliefs in the icons of either the Emperor or their Primarch. A Battle- Brother from this Chapter would never be caught without such an icon on their person. Example: Chapter Heraldry on a necklace, Imperial Aquilla tattooed over the right eye.
|-
! 21-30
| Modified Jump-Pack: Primarily seen in Chapters that favor the Assault Combat Doctrine, Battle-Brothers from this Chapter modify their Jump-Packs (with a Tech-Marine’s help of course) to provide a more glorious sight to their allies and a more terrifying one to their enemies. Examples: Jump-Pack’s created in different shapes such as angel wings.
|-
! 31-40
| Bestial Companion: More common among those Chapters whose origins come from Feral Worlds, this Chapter prides itself on raising hunting animals to assist in battle. Examples: Fenrisian Wolf, hunting birds.
|-
! 41-50
| Rare Weaponry: Whether through the blessing of the Adeptus Mechanicus or sheer good fortune, this Chapter has a large stock of weaponry that is considered rare amongst the other Chapters. It is seen as a symbol of honour to wield one of these weapons in battle. Examples: Astartes Assault Cannon, Digital Weapons.
|-
! 51-60
| Blessed Wargear: It is common for members of this Chapter to have their Wargear blessed by a Chaplain before battle. Doing so puts the Battle-Brother’s mind at ease and more focused on the task at hand.
|-
! 61-70
| Special Mount: While other Chapters may keep animals as companions, this Chapter uses them for what they were intended for — transportation. Examples: Fenrisian Wolf, Carnodon, very angry Grox.
|-
! 71-80
| Special Vehicle: This Chapter prefers to ride into battle in more modern conveyances. While the traditional Space Marine vehicle is the Rhino, other Chapters may use more rare vehicles as primary transport. Examples: Modified Rhino, Land Raider, or Land Speeder
|-
! 81-90
| Preferred Fighting Style: The Chapter has a specific way in which it prefers to go about killing the enemy in the name of the God-Emperor of Mankind. Examples: Bolt Pistol and Chainsword, dual Power Swords, special Bolter pattern or ammunition
|-
! 91-100
| Modified Weaponry: When the Chapter’s forges produce a weapon, they produce them in a style that is specific to their Chapter. Examples: Power Sabre, Bolt Pistol with weighted butt for clubbing.
|}


==Chapter Beliefs==
Achilles' Heel: Testing Scholastic Lore: Angels allows a Pilot's next single attack to ignore TB or AP (their choice), on a success. OD's may test and grant the benefit to a single Pilot of their choice, on a success.

| The [[God-Emperor of Mankind|Emperor]] Above All - "Screw your spiritual liege. The big E is where it's at."
|-

|-

|-

| Purity of Man - "Flesh is better than bionics!"
|-
! 91-95
| Steel Over Flesh - "Bionics are better than flesh!"
|-

==Chapter Strength==

{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"
! colspan="2" |At what strength is the Chapter? (d10)
|-
! 1
| Endangered: The Chapter numbers only a handful of Companies or less having suffered devastating losses in combat, accident, or dramatic genetic instability. If recovery is even possible it will take many decades, making every Battle-Brother (and his Progenoids) an invaluable resource.
|-
|-
! 2-4
!Ranged Attack Name
| Under Strength: The Chapter is recovering from a defeat or accident that occurred several decades ago, or has recently suffered heavy, but not irrecoverable losses. It is probably at a minimum of half strength, and should return to nominal strength within a decade.
!Range
!Damage
!Damage Type
!Pen
!RoF
!Special (Beam Array/Erosion)
|-
|-
! 5-9
|Beam Array
| Nominal: The Chapter can field ten full companies, each with ten squads. In all likelihood most every squad consist of ten brethren and some specialised appointments may be empty, but the Chapter is regarded as fully fit for battle.
|80 Dam
|1d10+4
|4
|Energy
|S/3/6
|By taking -10 while Semi-Auto or -20 while Full-Auto firing, may fire at an area, hitting all enemies in range. If so, it deals Collateral as if it were a large Area Of Effect weapon/After applying Damage Reduction from TB/AP, the Angel may convert the normal damage into Ego Barrier damage instead.
|-
|-
! 10
| [[Troll|Over Strength]]: Some Chapters maintain more than the prescribed ten companies, though it is rare for more than a handful more to be fielded and even then only temporarily. It may be that the Emperor’s Tarot has predicted terrible losses ahead, or that the Chapter simply regards its numbers as optimal and cares little for the dictates of the Codex Astartes.

40 Dam Angelic Senses


[Custom Chapter Advance tables removed, since they wouldn't make much sense without rules]
3 rerolls per combat, +10 to all skill tests, TB doubled


Lastly, add a name, colours, and heraldry, and you're ready to release your [[Kaldor Draigo|overpowered piece-of-shit Chapter]] on the world. [[Rage|God-Emperor help us all.]]
Strategy: Forcas, the Angel of Invisibility, is, surprisingly enough, invisible. Ignoring the immediate implications his Stealth Field raises, he is likely to keep several Mirror Images around, who will not have the benefit of invisibility. As such, when he first appears, it is likely the EVAs will mistakenly target one of his mirror images instead of him. This is good. Much of the challenge of Forcas is learning that the images are just images in the first place. Eventually (whether through detecting his AT signature is positioned wrong for the images, through his footprints, realising the energy beams aren't coming from any of the images or something else entirely) they should discover this fact, at which point crippling him is fairly standard procedure, thanks to his average wounds and almost non-existent AP. The fact the Stealth Field makes him effectively in darkness for the entire encounter makes him hard to hit, yes, but anything which DOES hit (barring weak body shots) will seriously diminish his combat potential. In addition, you should bear in mind he is a stronger opponent in certain locations (like urban cityscapes) than others (such as empty farmland). Don't underestimate the ability of cover to allow Mirror Image/Invisibility toggling dickery. Forcas, done right, should feel like a EVA-scale shell game.


{{40k-Faction-Creation-Tables}}
Scaling for Challenge:

For Adeptus Evangelion Version 2.5

Version: 2.5

Name: Forcas - Angel of Invisibility

Difficulty: Hard (CR:0)

Body Type: Bestial (Flyer)

Locomotion: Bipedal, Flight

Size: Average

Statistics WS BS Str T Ag Int Per WP Fel LS
30 40 30 50 50 40 40 50 20 140


Body Location % to hit AP Wounds
Head 01-10 0 5
Right Wing 11-20 0 13

Core 31-40 4 7
Body 41-70 4 18
Right Leg 71-85 0 5

Traits:

Angel: 1 Fate Point, may spend to regenerate 10 Wounds, may burn to regenerate 1d10+10 Wounds.

Flyer: As in DH core, pg. 216.

Heavenly: ATP is not reduced by activating AT powers. AT powers may be augmented by ATP, but not up to more than the amount of ATS possessed by the Angel.

Superior Action: May perform Full Actions as Half Actions, may perform one Half Action as a Reaction Action per turn. May use multiple attacks per turn, provided it has multiple weapons to use.

Grounded: Any round the Angel is struck by Tesla weaponry and takes damage or otherwise takes a similarly powerful electrical charge, it may only take Half Actions.

Achilles' Heel: Testing Scholastic Lore: Angels allows a Pilot's next single attack to ignore TB or AP (their choice), on a success. OD's may test and grant the benefit to a single Pilot of their choice, on a success.

Godly: +50 LS

Ranged Attack Name Range Damage Damage Type Pen RoF Special (Beam Array/Erosion)
Beam Array 80 Dam 1d10+4 4 Energy S/3/6 By taking -10 while Semi-Auto or -20 while Full-Auto firing, may fire at an area, hitting all enemies in range. If so, it deals Collateral as if it were a large Area Of Effect weapon/After applying Damage Reduction from TB/AP, the Angel may convert the normal damage into Ego Barrier damage instead.

AT Powers: Stealth Field, Mirror Image, Deflection Field, Kinetic Wave, Barrier, Wrap Beam, Containment

Skills: Dodge, Silent Move, Concealment, Shadowing Proficient

Fear Rating (2)

40 Dam Angelic Senses

3 rerolls per combat, +10 to all skill tests, TB doubled

Strategy: Forcas, the Angel of Invisibility, is, surprisingly enough, invisible. Ignoring the immediate implications his Stealth Field raises, he is likely to keep several Mirror Images around, who will not have the benefit of invisibility. As such, when he first appears, it is likely the EVAs will mistakenly target one of his mirror images instead of him. This is good. Much of the challenge of Forcas is learning that the images are just images in the first place. Eventually (whether through detecting his AT signature is positioned wrong for the images, through his footprints, realising the energy beams aren't coming from any of the images or something else entirely) they should discover this fact, at which point crippling him is fairly standard procedure, thanks to his average wounds and almost non-existent AP. The fact the Stealth Field makes him effectively in darkness for the entire encounter makes him hard to hit, yes, but anything which DOES hit (barring weak body shots) will seriously diminish his combat potential. In addition, you should bear in mind he is a stronger opponent in certain locations (like urban cityscapes) than others (such as empty farmland). Don't underestimate the ability of cover to allow Mirror Image/Invisibility toggling dickery. Forcas, done right, should feel like a EVA-scale shell game.

Scaling for Challenge: Incarnate [BS] is always a good start to toughen up Forcas. Precise (Basic) [Well Placed] is a good alternative. Multiple Weapons [Ranged] can work, if you feel volume of fire power makes up for relative lack of skill. Otherwise you can make Forcas more AT-focused, and take either The Specialist [Serpentine Guile] to underline his targeting of the Pilots themselves rather than the EVAs, or The Specialist [God's Thunder] if you want to take a middle ground between the AT and Energy Weapon solutions. Whatever you select, the +10 LS and +3 Wounds per Location per CR spent really help give Forcas some extra staying power.
