DaemonlordAbraxes - March 8, 2009 03:43 PM (GMT)
Kan you think of some rules for Mhotep from the HH book Battle for the Abyss?

Uzthizzar, Librarian-Sorceror - March 8, 2009 05:05 PM (GMT)
Sure, I would but I don't have a copy of Battle for the Abyss. :o
I know a bit about him, but not a huge amount so do you think you could describe him for me? :)

PS As a fellow TS fan, what do you think about the rules I have developed?

DaemonlordAbraxes - March 8, 2009 05:10 PM (GMT)
I REALLY like the rules that you've made :D !!!! UH............ well Mhotep is a psyker ( of course :lol: ) he carries a force scimitar, that he can put on the end of a staff that he has, so that he can have a force halberd, he's the Thousand sons fleet captain, i believe he carries a bolter, but one-hands it. Thats about all i know, you could ask SHROUDFILM they know more about him than me!! :lol:

Uzthizzar, Librarian-Sorceror - March 8, 2009 05:23 PM (GMT)
Thanks for that, I will ask him now.
I am glad that you like the rules - I saw Magnus and Ahriman on a jetbike battling on some battlefield in my mind and knew that I had to write some rules for them!!

Battle Brother Loken - March 8, 2009 05:24 PM (GMT)
grav rihnos
i always thought TS would have them
its up to you now to make good rules for them :lol:

ShroudFilm - March 8, 2009 05:33 PM (GMT)
I only know what's in the novels... if you've read them then you know the same as me. If you haven't, go read them! :lol:

I would suggest you look at the rules for Age of the Emperor: The Great Crusade event on the Tempus Fugitives website - they have pretty balanced codex entries for all major characters, which have been playtested a lot.

AFAIK, the only Grav Rhinos existed on Terra, and were usded by the Custodes and Sisters of Silence in policing the short section of Webway that the Emperor had stabilised.

Any suggestions (for new rule sets or otherwise) or opinions are welcome.

DaemonlordAbraxes - March 9, 2009 09:04 PM (GMT)
why is it that every single TS has a force weapon (not in the rules, but really, and it seems like they all carry one in som fashion or another!!)

oh and Uz, im not makin Uzthizzar hes yours :D

Benedict Arnold - March 10, 2009 06:44 AM (GMT)
Check your spelling kids, it's Uzthizarr. ;) Shroud can switch your name if you ask nicely. And give him a cookie.

The Red Sorcerer - March 10, 2009 01:24 PM (GMT)
This thread might be of interest! MvS (or Marijan van Staufer) used to work for the Black Library (he wrote most of Liber Chaotica for example) and has drawn up his own interpretation of Apocalypse rules for the Primarchs, among others. He only has rules for Daemonic Magnus though I think. Still, his 'common' rules and base stats that apply for all non-demon Primarchs are worth a look.


Uzthizzar, Librarian-Sorceror - March 10, 2009 07:08 PM (GMT)
@DLAbraxes: I don't know. Fine with me! ;)

@Red Sorceror: Woah! That guy knows his stuff!! :)

@Benedict Arnold: aaaaarrrrgggggghhhhhhhhh!! :o
I don't mind - it is only ONE letter!

DaemonlordAbraxes - March 11, 2009 08:52 PM (GMT)
:lol: nice and Benedict is write, BUT just like you i don't care when it comes to spelling (bein a young american does that to you :lol: )

Uzthizzar, Librarian-Sorceror - March 12, 2009 05:15 PM (GMT)
Yep, so true :lol:
