Codex - Rising Sons

Codex: Rising Sons

Work in progress. Come to the discussion page to help out with making it.

Special Rules

And They Shall Know No Fear

• Chapter Tactics (White Scars)

• Combat Squads

• Yamato Spirit: The Rising Sons are known for their courage and their fighting spirit.

All Rising Sons models with this rule gain the Furious Assault and Crusader USR.

• Honour Before Reason: Although proud and courageous, the Rising Sons’ maintenance of honour and straightforward charging into enemy lines made them be declared to go on a Penitence Crusade to the Tiji Sector. Now with this, Mifune Toshiro, Chapter Master of these proud sons of Jaghatai, must forge them into something new. Though sadly, old habits die hard.

Whenever a Rising Sons model/unit is in charge range with the enemy, then the model/unit must attack on the following turn. If the model/unit captures and consolidates its position on a objective that grants victory points, and will be in range to charge an enemy, then it must roll for a Leadership Test with a -2 penalty. If the test is passed on a 6 or higher, then the model/unit maintains its position. If failed, then the model/unit must charge the target and discard the objective.

Models armed with ranged weapons instead automatically shoot the nearest target.

Psychic Powers

All Librarians (name may change with time) can roll from the following Psychic Disciplines:

• Biomancy
• Divination
• Daemonology (Sanctic)
• Pyromancy
• Telekinesis
• Telepathy

Warlord Traits

1. Inspiring Presence, Mocking Stance	2. Weapons Master	3. Huntsman
The Warlord is a disciplinarian that will make his men go through extra length in order to achieve their objectives. Failure is not an option to him. Additionally the Warlord will comment on his enemies on how pathetic they are when faced against his marines, or praise them if he sees that they are actually trying to fight. Any unit in 12” of the Warlord gains a +1 to all Leadership rolls. All enemy models get a -1 penalty to WS.	The Warlord is uncommonly skilled in the use of his weapon. Even other skilled warriors are surprised at how he can fight them with barely any difficulty. The Warlord can re-roll every failed To Hit and To Wound rolls in close combat. He also gains the Counter-Attack USR.	The Warlord is known for being good at hunting his enemies wherever they are. The Warlord gains the Preferred Enemy USR.
4. Wisdom of The Kami and Ancestors	5. Swallow your Pride	6. Absolute Defence
The Warlord prays to the Kami Emperor and his ancestors for guidance on the battlefield and that fortune will smile upon his men. The Warlord and any unit he’s part of/joined can re-roll failed Leadership Tests once per turn and gains the Adamantium Will USR (note that only the Warlord gains Adamantium Will and only him).	Due to the events that resulted in the situation the Rising Sons found themselves in, the Warlord must swallow his pride and actually force his men not to recklessly attack their enemies. If the Warlord leads a unit, then that unit doesn’t suffer from the Honour Before Reason SR.	The Warlord is known to be one hell of a beatstick and his endurance, resistance, and will to live is legendary. The Warlord gains the Eternal Warrior and It Will Not Die USR.
