<br />'''Pillar:''' Weapons with this special rule create a massive pillar of destruction, stretching high enough to effect airborne foes. They can target Flying monstorus creatures and Flyers, though their balistic skill is reduced to 1 for the purposes of scatter. Any Flying monstorus creatures or Flyers under the blast template of a weapon with this special rule after it scatters are effected as if they were not flying.

'''Focus Rods:'''  A special invention of Dakar university, these are in effect psykic blinkers. They allow psykers to use their powers fairly safely, at the expense of versatility. The process of binding a psyker to a focus is eerily similar to a lobotomy, and results in a similar condition.
'''Implosion Locus:''' This focus rod is used to create a massive gravatic anomaly near the target.
'''Dawn Gate:''' A heavy vehicle mounted focus rod, these weapons summon an enormus pillar of light that immolates their enemies.

====Knights of the Stone====
The Titan stone is one of the most revered relics in the Conservators possession. All brothers must meditate near the stone before they become true members of the chapter. Here their swords are blessed by the stone, taking on a greater power. Some brothers become mesmerized by their blades, and seek to use them in ever greater combat. They are closely watched, but do not seem to be falling to Chaos.
These brothers largely make up the Vanguard Veteran squads of the Conservators. They style themselves as Knights of the Stone.

====Devastator Squad====


====Flying Brick====
So, the aircraft of a space marine chapter take a lot of maintenance to keep functional. Skilled maintenance by members of the mechanicum, and expensive spare parts. The conservators had little of the first and none of the second. Even a decade after the burning of the forge world none of the chapters birds could take off. Then Dakkar university had a break through. They figured out a focus rod that boosted telekinesis enough that one mage could replace the engines of a thunder hawk or Stormraven. The hulks that had been stripped to the hull years before were refitted with the best Dakkar university had to offer. Named after how they seem to ignore physics and just hang in sky. To keep up with demand, the university has even started


Modeling note: This model should not look like it can fly. Ever.

====Mage circle====
Becoming bound to a focus rod is mostly a lobotomy. The process is used to render otherwise worthless psykers into weapons of war. A few key portions of the wielders brain are destroyed, rendering them emotionless and heavily limiting their free will. The result are useless unless directed, but also nearly impossible to become tempted by the warp. The focus rods require a psykers powers to energize and direct, but not really any imagination or initiative. The mages circle is analogus to a normal Space Marines devastator squad. Led by a single marine, they can bring heavy fire in a fairly mobile platform.

====Tower====
The conservators have always had issues with fielding any number of armored vehicles. Most the chapter owned were over run and captured by Orks early in the chapters history. Still, ground forces have always needed some form of heavy support only tanks can provide. So again, Dakar University stepped into to provide paykic aid. "Towers" are generally made from gutted Leman Russ tanks. The tanks main cannon replaced by a massive focus rod, and often further augmented by additional utility focus rods throughout. Powered by several mages, these machines can bring terrifying amounts of destruction to bear on the enemy.
 
Modeling note: Just use a Leman Russ. If you are feeling like making cool models, replace the turret with a large glass jewel, or put a glass gem on the end of the turret. Feel free to add all sorts of "arcane" designs on the rest of the body.

====Rook====
"What the hell..."-The late King Greggory Wit, as a conservator Rook appeared above him.
 
There is a very good reason most librarians are kept busy, with no time to experiment. After the Flying brick and tower, allowing the conservators to once again field heavy armor, the workshops of Dakar university were given a great deal of latitude. The Rook is one of the more useful results. A modified Imperial bastion, with heavier armor and some clever bits of engineering to help it survive multiple impacts. The most important modification though is the Warp rod. It allows for short range warp jumps, fairly inaccurate over long distances. Especially if the intended target is not open ground. To deal with this, the jumps are generally aimed above the ground. Which lead to the discovery that dropping a building on the enemy was very effective.
 
Rooks now see use as armored transports, taking the role of landraiders for the conservators.

The Conservators are an unusual fief holding Astartes Chapter in the Asharn March. They are poor as hell, and have more psykers then is entirely reasonable.

Conservators Special Rules[edit]

The Conservators are an unorthodox but highly effective Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes. Many units in the conservators forces share similar strengths represented in the following rules:

  • And They Shall Know No Fear
  • Combat Fire-Teams
  • Hearth and Home - Above all, the conservators are a defensive chapter. Units with at least one model with this special rule are stubborn in their own deployment zone.
  • Remembrance - Most gear a Conservator carries is effectively a relic. All equipment is kept in the best of quality. Once per game, each unit that contains a model with this special rule can reroll failed to hit rolls with all weapons for one phase.


Warlord Traits[edit]

A Conservators warlord can roll his warlord trait from any of the charts from the core rulebook or from the specific Conservators traits chart below.

1. Debt Collector 2. Ancestral Might 3. Ancestral Farsight
The Warlord and his men have a particular grudge against the enemy Warlord and his army, thus they'll make sure the debt is collected.

The Warlord and any unit he leads/is attached to gain the Preferred Enemy USR against the enemy warlord, and any unit he is a part of.

The Warlord's wargear belonged to a brother that was known for slaying many mighty enemies and now the machine spirits empower him to greater feats of heroism.

The Warlord gains a +1 to Weapon skill and all his melee attacks gain the Life Drain Special rule.

The Warlord's wargear belonged to a brother known for his sharp sight and mastery of ranged weaponry.

The Warlord's ranged attacks are precision shots on a 4+ to hit.

4. Ancestral Resolve 5. Skilled Commander 6. Master Scavenger
The Warlord's wargear belonged to a brother that was known to be a stalwart defender who didn't let any enemy pass by.

The Warlord gains the Eternal Warrior USR.

The Warlord is a loud and commanding presence on the battle field.

Friendly units within 12" of the Warlord can use his Leadership rather than their own.

The Warlord has done better then most scavenging equipment.

The warlord my treat any one weapon he is carrying as master crafted.


Conservator Equipment[edit]

The conservators forces mainly employ the standard weapons of the Adeptus Astartes, but they also have been forced to gerry rig and flat out invent some new weapons. Also, focus rods figure largely in their armory.

Weapon Range S AP Type
Scout Bow 18" 4 - Assault 2, Rending
Brother Bow 18" 4 5 Assault 2
Scorpion Repeating Crossbow 18" 6 5 Assault 6, Shred, Rending
Avalon 10 1 Melee, Two-Handed, Armorbane


Ranged Weaponry[edit]

Melee Weaponry[edit]

Titan Sword: Unique to each Full Brother of the Conservators. These are swords they crafted for themselves with the aid of their homeworlds greatest blacksmith, and meditated with over the Titan Stone. Counts as a close combat weapon with the Shred Special Rule.

Sword: A simple Steel sword, often carried by scouts. Counts as close combat weapon.

Avalon: One of the first relics the chapter was given. Presented to the first Chapter Master on the founding of the chapter, and has been in near constant use. The sword is made of a strange steel, that seems to glow a pure white. This weapon is scratched and scarred by battle, but this seems to only give the weapon a deeper beauty. The wielder gains the It Will Not Die special rules, and is a melee weapon with the stats given above.

Miscellaneous Equipment[edit]

Great Armour: The chapters supply of Terminator armor was never very large, and the rest of it was lost in the first Great war against the Orks. A replacement of a kind was created by taking a normal suit of power armor, and effectively making a suit of plate for it using even more adimantium. This armor provides a 2+ save, a 5++ invulnerable save, and the bulky special rule.

Horse: The standard mount of the scouts, more out of necessity then anything else. Changes the models type to cavalry.

Rhino: A really big herbivore, used by the full brothers as mounts. Changes the models type to cavalry, grants them +1 toughness, the relentless special rule, and rather then a single hammer of wrath hit on the charge they get d3.

Questor[edit]

The chapter Master of the Conservators is currently recovering from catastrophic injuries. To fill his role in the field, he has chosen a Questor from the brothers ranks. This Marine is a captain among the chapters captains, and mainly leads multi-company actions across the Marches. When they come up, he also leads the brothers in aiding chapters to which the Conservators owe a gene debt.

Pike men[edit]

Pike men are generally failed Conservator aspirants, through no fault of their own. Genetics is generally the problem, incompatibility with the geneseed. Still, the Conservators waste nothing, so these washouts are largely recruited as chapter serfs... sort of. While officially serfs, the pike men are much closer to imperial guardsmen loyal to the conservators. They go into battle at their lords side, bolstering the generally limited numbers of the conservators.

Knights of the Stone[edit]

The Titan stone is one of the most revered relics in the Conservators possession. All brothers must meditate near the stone before they become true members of the chapter. Here their swords are blessed by the stone, taking on a greater power. Some brothers become mesmerized by their blades, and seek to use them in ever greater combat. They are closely watched, but do not seem to be falling to Chaos.

These brothers largely make up the Vanguard Veteran squads of the Conservators. They style themselves as Knights of the Stone.

Great Armor[edit]

Terminator is a distant memory for the Conservators. They were lost to a suit in the initial war against the Orks. So the Techmarines of the chapter created this work around. Basically a jury-rigged suit of centurion armor.

Rhino Cavalry[edit]

The Conservators bikes have long been pulled apart for spare parts. So the chapter had to look elsewhere for mounts. They found them on Amakahd in the native genemodded rhinoceros descendent. The heavy animals can easily carry a marine in full armor, and are themselves incredibly hard to injure.
