Warhammer Army Project/Kingdoms of Ind

Kingdoms of Ind: Warhammer Army Project, 8th Edition Tactica

Created by Mathias Eliasson, this project was a homebrew attempt at giving many of the nations and factions that never got Armybooks of their own (and those left behind and never got one in 8th Edition) such a thing.

It should also be noted that Eliasson is constantly updating his work, so don't expect this page to stay current forever. As of now: I'll be using the most current Ind Armybook he has as of mid-2018. If anyone wishes to actually update this page and the items that need it later on, go ahead.

(EdwardX- July 2018 Desperately needs expanding so feel free to add or change stuff)

Why Play WAP Kingdoms of Ind

The mysterious lands of Ind, home to a thousand Gods, where the Nobles live in luxury and take to war on the back of mighty elephants.

Put it quite simply you are a Hipster who does not want to play one of the more 'mainstream' WAP armies (If such a thing exists they would be the ones getting models for is easy) that finding models for is easy. You want to field massed Human armies backed up by Gods that actually bother to help their worshipers directly on the field of battle.

Pros

• Your Gods actually fight for you in the form of Not!Daemons unlike those of the Not!Europe who sit about as their worshipers are killed.

Cons

• Elephants though cool sounding will stampede if the enemy even sneezes at them.
• Getting models for this army is going to be pretty difficult and probably expensive.
• Only snake swarms are LD10.

Army Special Rules

Castes: Most units in your army belong to a Caste this effects which characters can join them. Members of the Noble Caste may only join units that are part of the Noble Caste or Warrior Caste, and ignores Panic caused by units from the Warrior and Lowborn Castes. Members of the Warrior Caste ignore Panic caused by units from the Lowborn Caste.

• This means that your Lowborn units should be treated like Bretonnian Peasants i.e. cannon fodder.

Deva: The rule your Not!Daemons get. Oddly enough it is largely the same as the Daemonic Special Rule. You get Immune to Psychology, Fear, Magical Attacks, Ward save (5+). a renamed version of Daemonic Instability in the form of Divine Corporeality. Divine Corporeality is a special kind of break test which you take instead of the normal one, Calculate combat resolution as normal and roll 2D6. Compare the dice roll to the Devas' Leadership value, taking into account any modifiers for combat resolution. For each point the unit fails its Corporeality test by, the unit suffers one additional wound. No saves of any kind are allowed against these wounds, including Ward saves, regeneration, etc. If characters are present in the unit, the controlling player first allocates wounds to the unit (up to their current Wounds), then divides the remaining wounds as equally as possible amongst any characters. The only new elements are Hatred (Daemons of Chaos) and that you can't use the Generals Inspiring Presence or the BSB Hold Your Ground, but may use the Leadership of any Character with the Deva special rule within 12". Deva characters may not be Generals. In addition, units of Devas may never be joined by any characters without the Deva special rule.

Indian Special Equipment

Chakram: War Frisbees, range 8", S3, Quick to Fire, Multiple Shots (2). An imroved throwing weapon.

Pata: A weapon that requires Two Hands that can either grant an extra attack or the Parry special rule, the player deciding which at the start of every close combat phase.

Core

Rajputs: 3pts each base with only a hand weapon, yet have LD 7. These guys have a range of options allowing you to kit them out for any situation being able to choose Patas (2pts), Great Weapons (2pts), or Shields (1pt) as well as being able to take Light Armour (1pt) and Chakrams (2pts). Take in big blocks to keep them steadfast.
