Setting:Tiji Sector/Guard Regiments

The Tiji Sector is home to a host of Guardsmen, ready to defend their homes, the Imperium, and their God-Emperor. Rules for playing these Guard Regiments can be found below. All regiments are created using Only War Core, Hammer of the Emperor, and Shield of Humanity. They are outfitted with various weapons available for review in the combined 40k Armory Excel Sheet. While most regiments are created by the book, and should pose no trouble to a player or GM, regiments with special rules or abilities beyond the books will be noted. It is heavily suggested you obtain permission from your GM before playing such a regiment.

Krios Battle Tank
Maniples of the Taghmata Omnissiah go to war bearing ancient patterns of tank far more advanced than the common tanks available to the Guard. These tanks, provided durability by internal energy fields rather than heavy armor, mount devastating weapons and relics of the Age of Strife.

For example, a Lascannon shot against a Krios would be reduced from 5d10+10 Pen 10 to 4d10+10 Pen 10.

Ordo Reductor Thallax Cohort

The Ordo Reductor Thallax are cybernetically altered humans beyond even a Skitarii. After much consideration and advisement, it is best to model them as a Specialist attached to a normal Forge-World based regiment, such as the Koganusan Skitarii. They are represented by Thallaxii specialty. Note that the Thallaxii is very powerful, and a wise GM will note the strengths and limitations it brings to a party before allowing it.

Beyond 10km, however, the world is a haze of electromagnetic turmoil and seismic percussion.

The Ordo Reductor Thallax is limited to the Armor and Weaponry below. The Lorica Thallax mounting is incompatible with other weaponry.

Lorica Thallax: Grants Armor 6, and a PR20 shield that does not overload. The wearer is surgically bonded to the armor, and may never remove it.
